Rob Baird - Blue Eyed Angels
With the release of his debut album, Rob Baird is aiming squarely for the Americana/Alt-Country scene with his rootsy blend of country and rock. Is he an important new arrival or just more of the same-ol same-ol Americana?
Chris Knight - Another Dollar
Chris Knight's music has an authentic, workman-like appeal to it. Much like early Steve Earle, Knight writes of rural areas with ease. Melodically his songs are often similar to Springsteen's "Nebraska" album or Earle's music. Chris Knight makes real music for real people. Here's "Another Dollar" from his new album "Heart of Stone."
