Desert Dove is the new album from Michaela Anne and her first on Yep Roc Records. It was recorded in LA and produced by Sam Outlaw and Kelly Winrich (Delta Spirit). Michaela has been lauded for her timeless voice and narrative depth and this record takes that to the next level. The songwriting is confessional and unforgettable without being saccharin or self-indulgent; the tracks call to mind Michaela's diverse influences - everything from Stevie Nick's powerful voice and Fleetwood Mac's vibey arrangements to the Dixie Chick's incredible balance of conviction and catchiness - all showcasing her stellar voice and distinct vision.

Beth Hart - War In My Mind (27/09/19)

• Artist: Beth Hart

• Release Date: 27th September, 2019

• Genre: Blues, Rock

• Record Label: Mascot Label Group/Provogue

• Tracks: 12

The excellent new album from LA based Grammy nominated singer-songwriter Beth Hart. It’s full of power, passion and heart.

Beth Hart is as real as it gets. At a time when other musicians polish their songs, airbrush their image, conceal their blemishes, deny their age and bury their darkest secrets, this is one artist who throws down her cards and invites you to either walk or love her anyway. And with, 'War In My Mind', this Grammy-nominated talent has never served herself up so raw, on a record that embraces her merits and flaws, channels her bittersweet headspace and spins gold from her demons.

Show Of Hands - Battlefield Dance Floor (27/09/19)

• Artist: Show Of Hands

• Release Date: 27th September, 2019

• Genre: Folk, Roots

• Record Label: Proper Records

• Tracks: 13

• Website: https://www.showofhands.co.uk

With its arresting cover of a felled marionette, Battlefield Dance Floor is the 18th studio album from one of the most prized acts on the folk roots circuit.

Show of Hands' first key release in more than three years, the 13-track album brings eight keenly awaited new songs (and a co-write) from the pen of Steve Knightley, widely acknowledged as one of the country's most inspired and original songwriters.

Possibly their most commercial release to date, Battlefield Dance Floor is an exuberant, lush, full-blooded album co-produced by the in-demand Mark Tucker and Knightley - Show of Hands' first release since 2016's The Long Way Home.

A classy cornucopia, it's an album that successfully melds vintage Show of Hands and brand new material, infusing influences old and new and this time - as a four-strong band - with even greater depth and panache.

Steve comments "With the heartbeat and harmonies that Cormac and Miranda add, we are at last creating a sound we've dreamed of making for twenty-five years!"

It is a collection full of wonderful tracks mixing songs of despair and displacement, emphatic songs, tongue in cheek songs, poignant songs and carefully chosen covers skillfully woven into a high-quality and classy album. Superb songwriting, musicianship and production combine to create a classic yet very fresh addition to the already very rich SOH collection of folk music.

The Highwomen is a new collaborative movement formed by Brandi Carlile, Natalie Hemby, Maren Morris and Amanda Shires. The collective's highly anticipated self-titled debut album, produced by Grammy Award-winning producer Dave Cobb, released via Low Country Sound/Elektra Records.

Continually demonstrating the importance of inclusion and collaboration, The Highwomen are joined by several guest musicians, vocalists and songwriters across the album. The project features Sheryl Crow (background vocals, bass), Yola (vocals, background vocals), Cobb (acoustic/electric guitar), Jason Isbell (acoustic/electric guitar), Phil Hanseroth (bass, background vocals), Tim Hanseroth (guitar, background vocals), Chris Powell (drums) and Peter Levin (piano and keyboards) with songs written by Carlile, Hemby, Morris, Shires, Isbell, the Hanseroth twins, Rodney Clawson, Lori McKenna, Miranda Lambert and Ray LaMontagne among many others.

We love the very clever lyrics throughout and the collaborations work perfectly. It’s one of our favourite albums so far this year.

Don’t be surprised if this album features in a lot of Country award lists in the future. Highly recommended
