Man is Made is the second album from Michael Edgar and seems a natural and welcome progression from his debut release ‘Shine’. Michael has his own voice, and it’s a very appealing one. He has his own stories to tell; and on Man Is Made, they’re well worth listening to.

On The Resonant Rogues latest album there is plenty to appeal taking in influences from gypsy jazz, klezmer and Balkan music alongside old-time American folk and blues. All this whilst maintaining a core band identity, it bodes well for a very promising future. 

The latest offering to come from Dust to Digital is a goldmine: Folksongs of Another America: Field Recordings from the Upper Midwest, 1937–1946. A groundbreaking documentary project — 5 CDs of newly-restored, rare music; a new documentary film on DVD; and a richly-annotated book to go with them.

Fools Errand is the new video and our Song of the Day from poet and singer James P Honey – back with his band who run under the collective title of Buriers. It’s a powerful cocktail that hits you right between the eyes like a wake-up call. This sort of honest and considered music doesn’t come along very often. Cherish it.

Alex Seel’s Other Paths EP is a hugely impressive musical calling card, with each of its five songs showcasing a different side of this multi-talented musician’s skills. His ear for harmonies and his subtlety as a lyricist are revelatory and it’s to be hoped that a full-length album follows before too long.

Following an accident in January 2014, Tom Moriarty returns to the scene with his new album ‘The Road’. If there’s any justice, this album will see him picking up plenty of new fans.
