  • Mikel Dimmick Spiral Joy Band: Somewhere, a split with Aethers

Unfortunately, too few copies have arrived here to make available via Klang, but it's out there, somewhere, so we're told --

    Jack Rose: Honest Strings, an immense tribute comp

    An honestly gigantic tribute comp -- six and a half hours or so of music -- dedicated to Jack goes on sale any day now (was to be out in March, but crushed the IT grid with its massive-ity).

    FEB. 13

    Photobucket

    From the organizers: Jack Rose passed away suddenly at home in Philadelphia on December 5. He was widely regarded as the most profound exponent of acoustic guitar playing of his generation. Jack grew to be loved and admired by a great many people through his live performances, electric personality, profound cooking skills and a general mastery in the art of friendship. This concert is a release party for his new album Luck In The Valley and an occasion to celebrate and remember the good Dr. Ragtime. The artists performing were all dear friends of Jack's and admired by him musically.
