Live at the Fillmore, February 1969, shows The Byrds in fine form at mid-career. A good study of a band in transition – from their popular folk rock 60’s sound toward a country-rock style that would be hugely influential for artists who followed.

Brown Bird’s journey continues with this release. A Light I Can Feel is that rare cover album that expands the sound of the band, adding to their legacy. Listeners who want to join that continuing voyage should check it out.

Recorded in Oxford, Mississippi, known as “the cultural mecca of the South,” this album merges folk, blues and Americana to create a layered soundscape of America. Every song on this album tells a story. Longtime fans and those who are unfamiliar with Tyler’s work should definitely check out this release.

A California-based singer-songwriter Joel Rafael has been writing great music for over 50 years. We caught up with Joel at Newport Folk Festival, where he was playing “For Pete’s Sake,” a stage with programming in honor of Pete Seeger.

Allysen Callery returns with her new album ‘The Song the Songbird Sings’ for which we also have an exclusive album stream. Her reputation is sure to grow with this release which calls to mind the late 60’s/70’s progressive folk.
