Water From the Well
: :On Water from the Well, Paddy Moloney and the Chieftains return to the traditional Irish music that first made their reputations in the early 60s. Unlike most of their recordings from the 1990s there is nary a rock star, folk singer, or symphony orchestra to be found. Instead the Chieftains have chosen to play with some of Ireland's finest musicians, including Barney McKenna, Seamus Begley, Altan, and the Kilfenora Ceili Band. Here the Chieftains cover the entire spectrum of Irish traditional music, from a stately version of 'Planxty George Brabazon' with ...

The Pizza Tapes
: :Chances are, the most devoted fans of these three musicians have heard these tunes before, thanks to the crafty pizza-delivery boy who filched the tapes from Garcia's kitchen soon after they were recorded in 1993. That said, the warm, intimate performances here are very much worth an official CD release. The sessions came about when Tony Rice was in Northern California to record the delightful duet-collection Tone Poems with David Grisman. Garcia stopped by to hang out and jam with his old buddy Grisman and with Rice, one of his guitar ...

Eli & The 13th Confession (Exp)
:Album Description:Full title - Eli & The Thirteenth Confession. Reissue of 1968 album featuring 'Sweet Blindness', 'Stoned Soul Picnic' & 3 previously unreleased demo bonus tracks 'Lu', 'Stoned Soul Picnic' & 'Emmie'. 2002. :Consider the curious fate of singer-songwriter Laura Nyro's 1968 big-label bow: though it contained no less than three songs ('Stoned Soul Picnic,' 'Sweet Blindness,' and 'Eli's Coming') that became hits (the first two for Fifth Dimension, the last for Three Dog Night), Nyro's own endlessly influential collection barely dented the Top 200. And in an era of supposed ...

Leave the Light On
: :This album's title cut finds the veteran folk-blues troubadour, now in his early 60s, pondering the possibility of living to be 100, thus setting the thematic tone for an uncommonly reflective, meditative set. The ragtime Zen of 'Open Up,' the philosophical 'Seems So Real,' and the rock-bottom despair in his cover of Peter Case's 'Cold Trail Blues' all suggest that the virtuosic fingerpicker and evocatively smoky vocalist has reached a point in his life where he's pondering the biggest issues of mortality, a perspective that informs the complex relationship in 'Father's ...
