He is the son of folk singers Loudon Wainwright III and Kate McGarrigle, and brother of Martha Wainwright but Rufus has achieved his success by carving out his own singular sound in the worlds of rock, opera, theatre, dance and film.

	Cat. No.: 271 0244 Barcode: 0602527102443 Label: Verve Forecast CD Release Date: October			Bruce Hornsby & The Noismakers \| Levitate ARTISTS Bruce Hornsby & The Noismakers TRACK LISTING The Black Rats Of London Prairie Dog Town Cyclone Continents Drift Paperboy Invisible Levitate Here We Are Again Space Is The Place Michael Raphael Simple Prayer In The Low Country By any standard, Bruce Hornsby has built one of the most diverse and adventurous careers in contemporary music. Drawing from a vast wellspring of American musical traditions, the singer/pianist/composer/bandleader has created a large and remarkably accomplished body of work that's employed a vast array of stylistic approaches, while maintaining the integrity, virtuosity and artistic curiosity that have been hallmarks of his work from the start. Most well known for hit “The Way It Is” in 1986 This is the 13-time Grammy nominee's Verve debut. The album's 13 songs span an expansive sonic and emotional palette, encompassing heartfelt insights and absurdist humor, while incorporating a broad assortment of influences within compact song structures. The material ranges from the expansive, expressive songcraft of "Prairie Dog Town" and "In the Low Country" to the gently reflective introspection of "Invisible" and "Here We Are Again," with the album-opening "The Black Rats of London" offering a swaggering treatise on the influence of the rodents, insects and microbes upon key historical events. Such colorful moments help make Levitate a consistently compelling evocation of Hornsby's established abilities, as well as a substantial creative departure. RETURN TO THE TOP

	Cat. No.: 619 0942 Barcode: 0011661909427 Label: Rounder CD Release Date: October			Sondre Lerche \| Heartbeat Radio ARTISTS Sondre Lerche TRACK LISTING Good Luck Heartbeat Radio I Cannot Let You Go Like Lazenby If Only Pioneer Easy To Persuade Words & Music I Guess It's Gonna Rain Today Almighty Moon Don't Look Now Goodnight Sondre Lerche, an award-winning singer-songwriter, newly minted Hollywood go-to man, and frequent sighting on critics' year-end "best albums" lists, is back with his fifth studio album, Heartbeat Radio. The songs mix acoustic guitars and grand gestures of orchestral pop with elements of anything from '50s Jazz via '60s and '70s Brazilian psych-folk to state-of-the-art '80s pop masters such as Prefab Sprout, Scritti Politti and Fleetwood Mac. While it maintains the studio polish of his groundbreaking debut, Faces Down, there's also a sense of musical adventure that stems from his later work. Having written, scored, and recorded all songs for the Dan in Real Life soundtrack, as well as earned Rolling Stone "top 50" nods, and Elvis Costello's fan-ship, Lerche is no stranger to acclaim. But the story doesn't stop there. Heartbeat Radio is Sondre Lerche's boldest and most challenging record yet. RETURN TO THE TOP
