Gabrielle
Louise
"Journey"
Twenty-one-year-old Gabrielle
Louise is a Berklee-trained musician noted for her stunning vocals
and poignant songwriting, who is garnishing comparisons to a young
Joan Baez or Joni Mitchell. Journey is Gabrielle Louise’s
debut album, a genre-bending mix of folk, roots, pop, and
alt-country, which displays an emotional depth well beyond her age.

Crookfinger Jack
"Beggar Boy of the North"
This is a re-release of a
"classic" set of recordings made by Greg Stephens for Fellside
Records in 1978. The story behind these recordings is well
documented by Greg in the accompanying 12 page booklet along with
information on the musicians involved, where they are now and indeed
a picture of those young men way back when they made this
recording!. Digital Album

Mark
Dougherty
"Shadows in the Light "
North Carolina strummer
and crooner Mark Dougherty makes sadness so sweet. With strong,
jangly guitar work, fine flat-picking, and a voice that mirrors
both, Dougherty reclaims the language of the '60s singer-songwriter.
On this, his latest CD, Mark brings the emotion of CSN&Y and the
sensitivity of James Taylor to a modern folk approach and style that
is all his own. Digital Album

Spreading the "Gospel" with Downloads:
efolkMusic
saw the writing on the wall way back in 1999- we knew that our kind of
"mighty fine" music was being pushed off the store shelves and broadcast
radio. Luckily the World Wide Web came just in time to throw us a life
preserver.
The ability to send music
around the world, instantly and at very little cost, may yet save our
"endangered species". CDs are still the medium of choice for most of us,
but when a great album goes out of print, or an artist has a new
collection of songs (but not the resources to press a CD) you just can't
beat the new Digital
Albums.
"I just finished
buying and downloading Marti
Jones' 'Unsophisticated
Time', which is going for big bucks on eBay. The 192kbps MP3s
sound great- thanks for making this classic album available to the masses
again!" - Leo G., a very satisfied
fan.
Come back for more, Leo! And try our handy
MP3 MultiPaks-
they bring the price per track down as low as 75 cents, and make one-click
downloading a breeze.
