Ollabelle, M. Ward, Brian Wilson
Soul of a Man
Ollabelle are inspired by rural American roots music, particularly gospel, blues and old-time country. Their debut CD breathes new life into an old sound with stunning harmonies and powerful soul.
Hiway 9
This is a collection of eight original tunes and two covers, including a version of the previously unreleased Woody Guthrie song, "Peace Call."
Vincent O'Brien
In this beautifully-crafted concept album M. Ward creates a dark, warm world of sound from the backwoods of an imaginary land.
Man With the Harmonica
The music of Ennio Morricone is heard frequently between news stories on All Things Considered. This is from a re-release of the original soundtrack to Once Upon A Time in the West.
