During this first quarter of 2013, the WSHU mailbox has been chock full of wonderful new releases, many from artists unknown to us. I’ve plucked out of the pile a selection of new releases that are infused with an on old-timey vibe, as well as a stunning second album from our friends collectively known as Brother Sun. I finished up the night, in a slight twist, with selections from two albums that I confess I should have played a lot more when they were released a few years back.
