i just heard

Melissa McLelland singing with Jessie Cook. "It Ain't Me Babe" on the CBC

Maple Marketing

that tempts me:
Unexpected influences, from the lyrical rhythm of Lyle Lovett, to the mysterious blues of Tom Waits, combine in Crush Luther. This wide array of inspiration culminates in a perfect pop package: energy, cleverness and a willingness to change what's expected of their generation's voice. Curious? Order the CD and you'll receive an autographed copy and be entered into a contest to win an autographed Epiphone guitar displaying album artwork!

A songwriter with incisive personal and political insights, Joel displays a strong sense of confidence in his new record. Pre-order the record today and enjoy music brimming with honesty and a whole lot of heart.

also well written:
The Junction is known as a “jam band” without the jam, an intuitive unit where anything goes. This is evident on the band's new self-titled album. The band draws in all sorts of sounds and influences on the new record such as atmospheric instrumentals, falsetto pop, playful pop, buoyant damn-happy pop and lighter jazzy funky fare. Sounds like a positively charged dance party that you won't want to miss. Pre-order the record and you'll receive an autographed copy!
