 Signature Sounds recording artist Crooked Still will release their highly anticipated third album on June 24th, titled Still Crooked. A world tour to support the record will follow. The band, made up of founding members Aoife O'Donovan, Greg Liszt and Corey DiMario, along with two new players, presents fluidity across musical genres: old time, folk, bluegrass and world music, on all of their recordings. Journalist Greil Marcus recently recognized the worldliness of their capability in Interview Magazine, "The songs to which Crooked Still applies itself were made to capture whole countries of experience, fantasy, forgetting, revenge, guilt and escape...The band takes up the songs as if they contain knowledge far beyond any person who might sing them."

 My old friend Nick Lethert. a man who knows his music and is a great champion for Irish music in the Minneapolis area told me about this great new CD from Sean Egan. And when Nick recommends something, I buy it. Nick writes "Sean Egan just released a CD, "Alone, Raining", a dazzling album of eleven original instrumental compositions played by Sean on piano, clarinet, saxophone, tin whistle, and percussion. |

 I am not a big fan of religion, but I do like the songs. Now that is a bit of a blanket statement some might say. But since I was a boy I was influenced by music that directly came from one religion or another. I was born into a mostly catholic community and when I was a boy I was in the Buncrana Male Voice choir, which consisted of mostly boys and men from the town who seemed to only sing at Christmas and Easter.
