Cashew & Cleary: Like a Rich Man-Fathers Vol.2
Just Released on Cassette on Weiner Records (a subsidiary of Burger Records)
"1967 is alive and well. If you are ready to take a psychedelic trip full of fuzz and reverb, give a listen to this. And if you think The Aussies have a lock on making all things psych modern you’re in for a surprise. Cashew & Cleary are without a doubt one of the best bands out there playing psych/garage and otherwise making the coolest trippy sounds."--50thirdand3rd Music Blog

Tawny Ellis
Ghosts of the Low Country: “It’ll take you a minute to put your finger on it because happened so long ago but Ellis has the vibe and spirit of prime Lucinda Williams/Gurf Morlix collaborations running through this ep of southern gothic roots music. From originals to covers, Ellis puts her own stamp on the proceedings mingling the familiar with the new for a gumbo that really satisfies. As tasty as it can get in an ep format, this session recorded at Muscle Shoals really packs all the classic vibe from those walls into this date you can handle. Check it out, she’s a winner.”—Midwest Record
