Acclaimed singer-songwriter Eilen Jewell discusses her new album, Get Behind The Wheel, out now on Signature Sounds.  The Washington Post's description of Eilen is perhaps most apt: "...if Neko Case, Madeleine Peyroux and Billie Holiday had a baby girl who grew up to front a rockabilly band, she'd probably sound a lot like Eilen Jewell."

Grammy-winner Bill Frisell is universally admired for his work as a guitarist and composer and for creating new sounds in American music.  But "collaborator" may be the title that best exemplifies his approach, and it forms the basis for his latest album, FOUR.  We were thrilled to hear his insights on this beautiful work.

Bassist/songwriter/producer/composer Viktor Krauss has a resume that is noteworthy both for its quality and its quantity.  He's had long tenures with artists as dissimilar as Lyle Lovett and Bill Frisell, toured as part of the recent Robert Plant & Alison Krauss "Raise the Roof" tour, and has a handful of fascinating solo releases.  We were thrilled to have him on the show!

CBM artist and friend Richard Bennett returns to the show to talk about his new album (which he hinted at in his earlier appearance on Episode 4), New Folk Faves & Tall Tale Tunes.  Richard was articulate, funny, and self-effacing, as always, and we thoroughly enjoyed the chat.

"Hallucinatory keyboard wizard" (and CBM artist) Marco Benevento discusses his recent release, Benevento.  It's a nod to Paul McCartney's first solo album, and is a similarly loose, low-key affair.  We connected with Marco as he was working in his home studio (and playroom), and loved our guided tour of the new album.

Ali McGuirk's brand new album (and Signature Sounds label debut), Til It's Gone, was released last Friday.  Til It's Gone is the rare record that features a young artist relaxing into tender, homey spaces and pushing herself emotionally and sonically.  We enjoyed having her take us through it!
