Jon Bennett - Submarine - LSR-751

Jon Bennett paints a bleak landscape of the American experiences using a combination of classical finger picking and urban metaphors. Artist notes on Aquarium: the late great Los Angeles poet Steven Jessie Bernstein wrote a poem about a waterless aquarium in his apartment.

Jesse Grant - Pigeonholed - LSR-001

Jesse Grant's studio debut, Pigeon holed is an examination in limitations, how they bend really for the good, the bad and the funny. The slippery slopes and frayed labels of our modern world may be simultaneously beloved and derided. "Like a New York bar band gene-spliced with the Pogues, Jesse Grant is boozy, slightly obnoxious but in an endearing way, old-school bluesy rock. In an age of pre-fab emo/scremo bands and self conscious hipsterism, Pigeonholed is a welcome little reminder that things weren't always this way" -Kirsty Evans:East Bay Express

Bernie Reilly - No Place to Hide Bernie Reilly - No Place to Hide- LSR-903

Reilly has just completed his fourth album, "No Place to Hide". On this latest collection he has reached new heights of songwriting by leaving the electric band sound behind and delving into the lyrical world of truth and self examination. With all of his flaws and worries unapologetically exposed, the level of honesty has given the album an intimate feel that will transport the listener to a musical world all its own. "So much of todays music is all flash and bravado", says Reilly. "With this album I really wanted to get back to the sounds and feelings that made me love music in the first place. Making music that you like for its own sake always seems to resonate better with the listener, as opposed to trying to second guess an audience's expectations. A melody or lyric that comes straight out of my unconscious musical hum will in the end be more catchy and classic than a premeditated construction." Reactions to early versions of No Place to Hide have confirmed that it represents a new degree of depth in Reilly's work. While still playing in various ensembles from rock to jazz to bluegrass, Reilly has begun to focus more and more on his solo shows. "I like the freedom of playing solo. It affords me the opportunity to change dynamics and repertoire without warning and really put a piece of myself out there, like it or not, for all to see." Tune in!

Schultz’s wavering vibrato captures the snap shots of everyday people surviving the life of rural America.

The JJ Schultz Band - Something to me The JJ Schultz Band - Somthing to me - LSR-192

"Something To Me" (Last Stop Records) has a full, roving and rattling sound in the footsteps of Crazy Horse, without it sounding too heavy. Meaning it sounds exactly right. The endless row of telephone poles on the album cover already indicates that endless travelling is the overall theme of this great CD. And yes, the great leaving; the unwanted goodbye. Over the course of ten songs Schultz uncovers the white underbelly of today's America. The narrative, syrupy songs have titles like Ol' Billy The Cab Driver, He Drives and The Lonesome Truck driver, and from a musical standpoint the JJ Schultz Band swings like the proverbial train with its destination somewhere close to Sixteen Horsepower or even The Gun Club. Ballads are also safe in JJ's hands because slide, electrical guitar and Schultz' melancholy touch to the core. The cover of Ol' '55 is slightly superfluous, but you get full compensation by the tearing gallop of Drinkin' You Off My Mind: 'George Jones where are you now? I need you in my desperate hour.' Something To Me places JJ Schultz among unknown but very much loved country-rocking troubadours such as Steve Wedemeyer, Nels Andrews, Thomas Denver Jonsson, David Wolfenberger or Ramsey Midwood. What's great about Something To Me is that Schultz proves his capacity of not only creating wonderful country folk songs but also superior grating and enticing country rock songs

Track List:
1. Jackie you, Jackie me
2. Ol' 55
3. Drinkin' you off my mind

Andy Padlo - Love's Dark Satellite Andy Padlo - Love's Dark Satellite - LSR-171

"Padlo's guitar playing sounds like the part-time work of half a lifetime fretting the five string. It always provides a solid foundation for the rest of the music on the album, and occasionally it claims the spotlight in solo work ("You Don't Have to Tell Me" and "Fire in My Belly" are notable examples.). Another nice surprise on this album is a good waltz ("She's Already Made up Your Mind"). Between the slower songs filled with yearning and the git-up-an-go tunes ("Fire in My Belly"), this well-done waltz makes me want to grab my wife and make small circles in the living room.

JJ Schultz - Bustin' outa town JJ Schultz - Bustin' outa town - LSR-191

JJ Schultz's new album Bustin' Outa Town is a great mix of american musical traditions. His song are written with the smoothness and clarity that reminds a listener of the great Townes Van Zant and his sad cowboy tunes of the sixties and seventies. And JJ sings with grit and tenacity that would make Willie Nelson proud, all the while playing and picking his nylon string Talyor in such a style that would make the country legend shed a smile I'm sure. But while JJ may invoke memories of the great cowboy singer-songwriters, he certainly is his own man and his own voice. His songs tread through Americana, and the experiences of growing up in the midwest. They are mix of experiences on the personal, family, and K9 level. Whether were ridin' with them across the Dakota Plains in the title track "Bustin' outa town," or sitting in a old hotel room with'm in the Great North Woods in "Need a pen," at everystep along the way we feel more and more connected to the characters of these ballads, and JJ is the one who puts us there. His music is sad at times and hilarious at others, often forcing up deep memories in our own lives. I picked up this album a couple of days before driving from San Francisco to Austin, and their could not have been a better choice of music to coast me through the deserts of Arizona and New Mexico and on into the Texas Hill Country. JJ Schultz is a force that will be heard, and his is a voice that certainly needs to be heard.

Neil Howard - Sides Neil Howard - Sides - LSR-702

"...Singer/songwriter Neil Howard has been described as a combination of Tom Waits, Leonard Cohen, and David Bowie, but if Richard Butler had ever performed acoustic torch songs such complicated comparisons would not be necessary. Like Butler, Howard possesses a voice that is, at once, rough around the edges and perfectly melodic, and while Howard eschews politics and social commentary in favor of matters of the heart, in his world, love is equally sad, mad, and corrupt...Howard's songs are not a vague sonic conveyance for his voice or his words. They are fully realized -- dare I say -- pop songs, slowed down and drawn out with melancholic sophistication, tense arrangements, and wistful restraint.
