	SHIRLEY GRIMES CATALOG NOW AVAILABLE
	Broken Arrow has released Irish singer/songwriter Shirley Grimes' 5 album catalog digitally throughout the world. Grimes began as a folk stylist creating wonderfully melancholic and atmospheric albums, then moved into a more traditional pop approach while still keeping her Irish-folk touches. At each step she gained more fans and acclaim, and recently has opened on the road for such artists as Van Morrison and Bonnie Raitt. Constant on each album are her distinct vocals and the ability to write very memorable songs apart from the mainstream. Songs, albums and ringtones available in our Download Store below, or wherever fine digital files are being served. Read summaries of all her albums here (see full story)

	FIRST U.S. SOLO RELEASE FROM MAT CALLAHAN
	Mat Callahan, former leader of world beat pioneers the Looters, releases his debut (U.S.) solo release A Wild Bouquet. The CD release coincides with the release of his book The Trouble with Music (AK Press). Callahan leans heavily on his tremendous and deeply ranged voice, unleashing a torrent of pop hooks. Formidable and brash - Editor's Pick/Smother.net A Wild Bouquet features Callahan as singer-songwriter, surrounded by incredible musicians Brain (Tom Waits, Guns & Roses) on drums, Joe Gore (PJ Harvey) on guitar and bassist Les Claypool (Primus). Pete Scaturro produced most of the album. His compositions on this recording incorporate his worldly musical savoir-faire with ambience controlling poetics; it's pop balladry in its purest sense. His vocals are confident with minimalist soundscapes existing beneath. Don't expect the acerbic slash of a tongue warmed in music-bullshit-hell; expect soft ruminations from a man obviously still in love with his muse. These are indeed beautiful, well-executed songs crafted by an honest musical hero. - Abel Folgar, Transform Online (see full story)
