| From the Labels: Canadiana - Roots Music from Canada, Reflects Canadian Culture |
BMNN wrote:  Like Americana, Canadiana, as defined by Six Shooter Records, a Toronto-based label with over 30 albums in its catalog, is roots music. But Canadiana is the wild north of roots music. North of the border, "roots" has as much to do with community, isolation, pride and a healthy dose of characteristic self-deprecation as it does with musical heritage and influence.

| New Release: Chris Warner and Banjo are 'Goin' to the Dance' |
Bob_Cherry wrote:  Patuxent Music has been releasing some wonderful music this year and Chris Warner's lastest release Goin' to the Dance is a wonderful addition to their bluegrass music catalog. The album kicks off lively and fresh and stays that way for 14 exciting tracks. When I think of bluegrass music, this is the sound I want to hear. It's alive, full of soul and filled with emotion both vocally and instrumentally. Chris has it all here.

| New Release: 'Jerry Christmas' The First-Ever Holiday Album by Jerry Douglas. |
BMNN wrote:  New York, NY -- The world's most renowned Dobro player, Jerry Douglas, has released his first ever holiday album, Jerry Christmas, on E1. The eloquent lyricism and dynamic virtuosity of Jerry Douglas, hailed by the New York Times as "the dobro's matchless contemporary master," is ideally suited to the creation of an Americana Christmas classic. And that's exactly what Jerry has produced: a spirited group of carols, traditional folk tunes, and modern seasonal songs. With a guest vocal by Grammy-nominated vocalist Maura O'Connell, Jerry Christmas gets that warm, down-home holiday feeling just right from the first note to the last.
