Listen to opening track "Surrender to Love" here: http://on.wsj.com/1xyRU5a Peer Praise for 'Larry Campbell and Teresa Williams': "The music Larry and Teresa make when they sing together is truly transcendent, with the blend of their voices on songs that are always deeply moving." – Emmylou Harris "Larry Campbell is like a musical iceberg. Not that he's cold in any way at all. He's as hot a player as anyone walking. It's just that the magnitude of his musicianship is not on view all at the same time. Most of it is out of sight until he decides to do something else. The songs that he does with his wife Teresa are beautiful. If there is anything missing in what he brings, she supplies it. She's a rare talent. I'm sorry, but I just can't put into words how I feel about what they do." - David Bromberg "There is a feeling of being amongst friends that share a love for the heritage of great music. Larry and Teresa embody all that is natural and heartfelt. They sing with a passion that is at once timeless and fresh. They own this music and have an obvious deep respect for the roots from which it came." - Bill Payne (Little Feat) Larry Campbell and Teresa Williams Tour Dates: * w/ Hot Tuna ! w/ Jackson Browne 6/26 - Saratoga Springs, NY @ Caffe Lena 6/27 - Katonah, NY @ Caramoor Roots Fest 7/10 - Plymouth, NH @ Flying Monkey * 7/11 - Beverly, MA @ Cabot Theater * 7/12 - Truro, MA @ Payomet PAC * 7/15 - Evanston, IL @ The Space 7/16 - Milwaukee, WI @ Shank Hall 7/17 - Madison, WI @ High Noon Saloon 7/18 - Minneapolis, MN @ Cedar Center 7/19 - Cedar Rapids, IA @ CSPS 7/21 - St Louis, MO @ Off Broadway 7/22 - Nashville, TN @ Music City Roots 7/23 - Nashville, TN @ City Winery 7/24 - Asheville, NC @ Grey Eagle 7/25 – Raleigh, NC @ Southland Ballroom 7/26 – Charleston, WV @ Mountain Stage 9/05 - Highland Park, IL @ Ravina Festival ! 9/06 - Rochester Hills, MI@ Meadow Brook Music Festival ! 9/10-15 – Arlington, VA @ Lockn' Festival 9/15 - Port Chester, NY @ The Capitol Theatre ! 9/16 - Port Chester, NY @ The Capitol Theatre ! 9/18 - Boston, MA @ Blue Hills Bank Pavilion ! 9/19 - Bethel, NY @ Bethel Woods Center for the Arts ! 9/21 - Red Bank, NJ @ Count Basie Theatre ! 9/22 - Red Bank, NJ @ Count Basie Theatre ! 9/24 - Morristown, NJ @ Mayo Performing Arts Center ! 9/25 - Brooklyn, NY @ Kings Theatre ! 9/27 - Reading, PA @ Santander Performing Arts Center ! 10/07 - Durham, NC @ Durham PAC ! 10/08 - Greenville, SC @ Peace Center ! 10/10 - Atlanta, GA @ Chastain ! 10/11 - Nashville, TN @ Riverfront Amphitheater ! 10/14 - Birmingham, AL @ Alabama Theatre ! 10/15 - New Orleans, LA @ Saenger Theatre ! 10/17 - Rogers, AR @ Walmart Amphitheater ! 10/18 - Tulsa, OK @ Brady Theatre ! 10/20 - San Antonio, TX @ Majestic Theatre ! 10/21 - Austin, TX @ Bass Concert Hall ! 10/23 - Houston, TX @ Bayou Theatre ! 10/24 - Thackerville, OK @ Winstar Casino ! 10/27 - Tucson, AZ @ Music Hall! 10/28 - Phoenix, AZ @ Arizona State Fair !

DALE WATSON Austin's king of honky-tonk releases "Call Me Insane" today  Dale interviewed in the Wall Street Journal and Austin American Statesman Listen to the first single "Jonesin' for Jones" US Tour Dates Announced Austin's king of honky-tonk and torchbearer for "true" country music returns with Call Me Insane, a record full of instant classics ranging from his George Jones tribute, "Jonesin' for Jones," to to the soul-searching title track. Dale recorded this album in Austin with veteran producer Lloyd Maines (Robert Earl Keen, Jerry Jeff Walker, etc.) and brought in his ace touring band, "His Lone Stars," to capture his road-tested live sound. With over two decades as a performer, the Alabama-born, Texas-raised Watson is a country music maverick, a true outlaw who stands alongside Waylon Jennings, Willie Nelson, and George Strait as one of the finest country singers and songwriters from the Lone Star State.  Since the release of El Rancho Azul in 2013, Watson’s profile has risen considerably via appearances on Jimmy Kimmel Live (ABC), The Late Show with David Letterman (CBS), Austin City Limits and The Sun Sessions (PBS) and as a guest on NPR’s American Routes and Wait Wait... Don’t Tell Me along with profiles on NPR All Things Considered, the New York Times and more.   A veteran touring artist and consummate entertainer, he is on the road more than 300 days a year. He also put his money where his heart is and took over ownership of two struggling Texas honky-tonks, the Little Longhorn Saloon in Austin (home of Chicken $#!+ Bingo) and The Big T Roadhouse in St. Hedwigs (outside San Antonio).   Available on CD, MP3, and vinyl (digital download card included).

Charlie Parr - Stumpjumper

Charlie Parr   New album "Stumpjumper" premiering now at NPR Folk Alley Release date April 28 on Red House Records Available for pre-order here  "The raw metallic resonator guitar sound of Charlie Parr registers as a magnet of sorts – in the same way we’re drawn to the curious sounds of Tom Waits and even the indie folk of The Mountain Goats." - Glide Magazine

APRIL 21, 2015:  While a legend in some circles, Northwoods songwriter/guitarist Charlie Parr may be a new name to some music fans. Long a part of the vibrant Duluth, MN, music scene (Alan Sparhawk and Low, Trampled by Turtles), Charlie will release Stumpjumper, his first album with Grammy-winning Minnesota indie label Red House, on April 28. He's announced additional tour dates  through fall (scroll down for complete dates). NPR Folk Alley is streaming the album in its entirety this week, preview it here.  As well as being the first album Charlie has recorded outside of his native Minnesota, Stumpjumper is his first to feature a full band and was recorded in rural North Carolina with producer Phil Cook (Megafaun, Hiss Golden Messenger). Percussive and raw, the 11 songs on Stumpjumper, 10 originals and his version of the venerable murder ballad, “Delia,” could be lost field recordings from another era. Charlie's blistering picking -- he switches between acoustic guitar (he plays National resonator guitars), dobro and banjo -- and keening, cut-through-the-crowd vocals resonate with a conviction that runs deep and true. Parr’s inspiration is drawn from the alternately fertile and frozen soil of Minnesota; his songs exude a Midwestern sensibility and humility. He grew up in the Hormel meatpacking city of Austin, MN (population 25,000) where most of the world's favorite tinned meat, Spam, is still manufactured. (He won't eat hot dogs to this day.) The combination of growing up with both of his parents working proud union jobs in an industrial meat factory and his largely rural environment had a broad impact on his songwriting. Growing up around hard physical work and being close to the land are what comes through in Charlie's songs. Most of his recordings to date have eschewed typical studio settings; he’s recorded in warehouses, garages, basements and storefronts, usually on vintage equipment, which gives his work the historic feel of field recordings. It's not because he wants to sound like he was discovered 75 years ago by Alan Lomax, it’s because most modern recording studios make the reticent and self-effacing Parr feel uncomfortable.   His heartfelt and plaintive original folk blues and traditional spirituals don't strive for authenticity: they are authentic.   Press: "Parr's songs ring out with a working-class ethos and a welcome-home energy." - The Bluegrass Situation "The native Minnesotan’s style can best be described as new music from an older time – sometimes dark and desolate, sometimes raucous and danceable." - Dan Forte (Vintage Guitar)   "He draws from the well of human suffering, but does so with humor and just a dash of folk tale mystery." - American Standard Time   “Parr may have been born during the Nixon era, but you can taste the grit of the Dust Bowl in his music.” - Dusted “Among the contenders in the every burgeoning indie folk, or new folk, genre, there are a lot of pretenders and acts trying desperately to “look and play the part”, but five seconds in front of Charlie Parr and you know you’re dealing with the real thing.”- Jim Beckman (KEXP) “John Fahey described the music he collected on American Primitive Vol. 1 as ‘made under the influence of enthusiasm.’ The enthusiasm he spoke of was a kind of possession, whether Christian or diabolical he couldn’t be sure; a mode of ecstatic communication that intervened in the delivery of sacred and secular messages alike. Charlie Parr’s recordings, which make splendid companions to Fahey’s anthology, are similarly enthusiastic.” - Popmatters Tour Dates: TU 4/21 Duluth, MN - Tycoons Alehouse and Eatry WE 4/22 Duluth, MN - The Red Herring Lounge TH 4/23 Winona, MN - Midwest Music Festival (Broken World Records) FR 4/24 Stoughton, WI - Stoughton Opera House SA 4/25 Zumbrota, MN - Crossings At Carnegie TU 4/28 Duluth, MN - Duluth Homegrown Music Festival TH 4/30 Duluth, MN - Duluth Homegrown Music Festival FR 5/1 Minneapolis, MN - Varsity Theater SA 5/2 Fargo, ND - Aquarium FR 6/5 Ft.
