Cara Dillon - Wanderer - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Wanderer is the long-awaited new solo album from Canadian singer-songwriter Ruth Moody, founding and current member of Billboard charting and JUNO award winning folk trio, The Wailin' Jennys. Recorded at Sound Emporium in Nashville, the self-penned album was co-produced by Moody and Dan Knobler (Allison Russell, Lake Street Dive) and mixed by Tucker Martine (My Morning Jacket, First Aid Kit). Her first since the acclaimed 2013 album These Wilder Things and her celebrated collaborations with Mark Knopfler, Wanderer is a transcendent collection of ten deeply powerful and personal songs that reflect Moody's inner world and wanderings. At once rich and intimate, the album weaves together otherworldly vocals, open-tuned guitars, intricate harmonies, soaring pedal steel, and Moody's signature inspired lyrics, taking the listener on a journey through time and space. From the restless energy of InchSeventeenInch, a true life story of unrequited love and an homage to Moody's hometown of Winnipeg, to the poignant duet with fellow Canadian roots music standout Joey Landreth on InchThe Spell of the Lilac BloomInch, Wanderer explores the emotional journey of motherhood, the joy and pain of life, the mysterious and complicated dance of love, and ultimately the longing we all feel for home, wherever that might be.

This Dux CD of a son conducting the works of his father offers a selection of Marian Borkowski's work from the years 1966-2005, showing his compositional development from the end of study to the present. Borkowski first applied sonorism, aphoristic nature (inspired by Webern) in his music. In later years, he was using the new tonality and musical language like reductionism and looking for new forms of expression. His son Piotr made his conducting debut in 1986, and at that time his professional career began. He conducts regularly at home and abroad, and has taught conducting in South Korea.

MARRY WATERSON / CUCKOO STORM / Marry Waterson - an essential part of the fabric of folk history in England - and Adrian Crowley - one of Ireland's most acclaimed talents - collaborate for the first time on 'Cuckoo Storm', a distinctive and powerfully lyrical album. 'Kicking Up The Dust', a song about hitchhiking, harks back to Crowley's teenage years growing up in rural west of Ireland.
