Dar Williams - Hummingbird Highway - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

With Dar Williams' EMERALD, a timely and brilliant album of new songs and collaborations with friends such as Jill Sobule, Richard Thompson, Jim Lauderdale, the Milk Carton Kids, the Hooters, Lucy Wainwright Roche and her mother Suzzy Roche (among others). EMERALD will be heavily promoted in 2015, as Dar will be touring for the rest of the year. 42 North American shows! The CD is packaged in a heavy cardboard, four panel, tube jacket, with an eight panel poster-style color insert. 'Dar Williams, one of America's very best singer-songwriters. Her songs are beautiful. Some are like finely crafted short stories. They are, variously, devastatingly moving, tenderly funny, subtle without being in any way inaccessible, and utterly fresh, not a cliche or a clunker in her entire songbook.' -The New Yorker.

2019 . A true musical iconoclast, Steve Poltz has done it all. Born in Nova Scotia but associated with his years in San Diego, California, Poltz has co-written an iconic, multiplatinum single (InchYou Were Meant For MeInch with then girlfriend Jewel), signed to a major tag (he chafed under the restrictions) and created a career as a songwriter, humorist and and collaborator with a fervid following. Now based in Nashville, TN; Poltz has, for the first time in two decades, decided to partner with a tag, Compass Records. Bookended by songs inspired as a response to a mass shooting, SHINE ON, produced by Will Kimbrough, is Poltz at his most searching and insightful, with the wry, slightly skewed world-view that has endeared him to so many. Album Tracks 1. Shine on 2. Pharmacist 3. Ballin' on a Wednesday 4. Over the Top for You 5. Windows of Halifax 6. Come to Me in the Mornin' 7. The Pickup Song 8. 4th of July 9. Furthest Star 10.
