As a musician begins to develop, he or she is essentially a product of influences. Musical syntax is developed by study, repetition, and memorization. Often a musician becomes a life-long recycler of artifice, never truly finding their unique musical identity or language. Choosing their authentic selves and inhabiting their own sound world through their collaboration has been the essential goal for guitarist Brandon Ross and acoustic bass guitarist Stomu Takeishi. Their duo, For Living Lovers, returns with Natural Name, a moving display of their interlocking values and incredible interplay.

The trio has always been for Sophia Domancich the main thread of her journey, the fundamental form conducive to the greatest fulfillment.

Johann Sebastian Bach, though largely unaffected by the trends of his time, reimagined many older forms with striking originality, shaping the course of Western music. Among his innovations is the sonata for a melodic instrument (such as the viola da gamba) and obbligato harpsichord, where both parts engage in equal dialogue—a model later expanded by his sons and composers like Haydn, Mozart and Beethoven. Following their acclaimed first album dedicated to Corelli’s Sonatas Op. 5, Teodoro Baù and Andrea Buccarella now present their second duo recording: the Sonatas for viola da gamba and harpsichord by J.S. Bach, each revealing a unique stylistic approach within a unified form.

As a leader of country-western music, Luke Bell's time on the throne was short. He released one official album during his lifetime, delivering a mix of honky-tonk shuffles and Bakersfield barnburners in a voice as magnetic as his own personality. He toured briefly, graduating from career-launching gigs in the dive bars of Austin and Nashville to bucket-list shows opening for Willie Nelson and Dwight Yoakam. And then he disappeared from the public eye to privately wage a war with the mental illness that eventually claimed his life. He was just 32 years old.

The first words you hear on Paul Kelly’s new album "Seventy" are ‘Tell us a story.’ The last words you hear are ‘Put another big log on the fire.’ Yes, we’re back in the kellyverse of love, loss, legend, wit, poetry and tales tall and true.
