About this product

Wire Mountain is Will Johnson's 6th solo album and sits atop a back catalog that includes Centro-matic, South San Gabriel, Marie/Lepanto, and Molina Johnson. When he's not writing and recording his own projects he's often contributing to others, like co-producing Austin Lucas' Immortal Americans, or playing drums in Strand of Oaks. Wire Mountain is Johnson's second album recorded with Britton Beisenherz at his Austin studio Ramble Creek Recording and together they further develop new palettes and textures for Johnson's songs, this time enlisting fellow Austinites Thor Harris (of Swans and Thor & Friends) and minimalist folk-duo Little Mazarn to help shape and define them. Britton also plays on the album, along with Austin legend Jon Dee Graham. InchCorneliusInch begins with a squall of feedback before giving way to acoustic guitars and an anthemic chorus that plunges into a dizzying electric guitar solo. InchA Solitary SlipInch is fragile folk, a lilting lullaby of finger-picked guitar, plucked banjo, and single piano notes with Little Mazarn's Lindsey Verrill mirroring Johnson's words. The last track is a hopeful instrumental, a calm before the next thing. Inch(You Were) Just Barely You.Inch

Will Johnson - El Capitan   - VINYL LP

While this is a collection of songs written on the road, they're given a polished studio treatment, albeit a bit more subdued and restrained than Wire Mountain. El Capitan is Johnson's second album with the carefully-curated Austin tag Keeled Scales, but his third recorded with Britton Beisenherz at his Austin studio Ramble Creek Recording.

Pearson Perry - Run Real Fast   - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Georgia based singer-songwriter Pearson Perry was raised to believe that the Bible, sweet tea, and southern charm were the secrets to success and long-term happiness. She was taught there are some things you just don't say. She found herself often at odds with her desire to have an independent voice and her family's southern sensibilities. Finally, she picked up a little blue guitar and quit worrying about it. Perry's latest , the lyric driven Run Real Fast, explores the many sides of love, loss and the importance of hope. Perry wrote these songs originally for commercial country acts while working with a Nashville . However, she fell in love with the songs and used PledgeMusic, a crowd sourcing site, to raise the money to put out a collection of her favorites. While assembling the album, Perry began to realize that these songs were actually about her - despite the fact she wrote them for other artists. Perry's edgy folk-rock roots are clearly heard in her raw, emotive vocal performance making Run Real Fast sound more Alt-Country than Country. Hearing the songwriter perform her songs is a real treat for music lovers and Run Real Fast's universal subject matter will speak to a wide audience. Perry also founded and runs Atlanta Intown Songwriters. Her years with Jan Smith Studios in Atlanta showed her how tight the R&B and hip-hop community is in Atlanta but as a beginning folk-rock singer songwriter, she wasn't finding that same network. However, she did find it in Nashville and interestingly, a lot of the musicians she met in Nashville - were from Atlanta. For awhile she drove back and forth but reality soon set in. She couldn't commute for the rest of her life and it was not possible for her to relocate. A chance encounter and inspiring talk with Ashley Capps, founder of Bonneroo, changed her direction. Unlike many music industry insiders who profess doom and gloom
