In the news:
With Rounder's
recent acquisition by the Concord Group, just wanted to squelch any rumors that
we're about to be bought out by Bad Boy Records, Sean "Puffy" Combs's Hip-Hop label.
We like things the way they are right now.
Coming
attractions:
Work has begun on "Pick a Peck of
Piedmont Pickers," with selections from a wide range of modern
masters of this delightful style of finger-picking. Among the contributors to
this project are Andy Cohen, Mike
Higgins, Russ Mello (photo, left),
Rick Palieri & Gareth Hedges, and Lauren Sheehan (photo,
right). We've already begun recording and look for a late summer, early fall
release.
Sherman Lee Dillon will be back in the studio shortly to begin work on another blues record, and Dale Robin Goodman has started preliminary work on "Cuckoo," her next solo work.
We will shortly have a bunch of videos uploaded to our new YouTube Channel, http://www.youtube.com/user/wepecketislandrecords
Thanks for helping us keep the music alive!
