Greg Laswell: Greg Laswell has been chosen as the featured artist on iTunes Indie Spotlight this week!

“Three Flights From Alto Nido is the second album from noted tunesmith Greg Laswell. He excels at creating three-dimensional baroque pop landscapes where the intimate lyrics are at ease among the grandiose backdrops of acoustic guitars, strings, and fluttering percussion. A nice fit for those who are partial to the songs of M. Ward or Ron Sexsmith.”

Gerald Albright: Check out Gerald Albright’s newest release, Sax for Stax, in its entirety now at Download.com!

[Sax for Stax] represents some of Albright's finest work. The selection of songs is excellent and the arrangements do justice to the originals without sounding trite. But more importantly, Albright shows his versatility in playing different saxes, flutes, and bass. Sax for Stax is a fine tribute to the Memphis-based label and its artists. - All About Jazz
