Alexi Murdoch - Four Songs
This highly praised beautiful debut collection of dark folk songs from newcomer Alexi Murdoch is CDBaby's all time best selling record. (*LIMITED EDITION-GOING OUT OF PRINT SOON.*)
'Alexi Murdoch's music recalls the great British folk singers of the 70s--artists like John Martyn, Nick Drake and Bert Jansch. Murdoch draws on these influences, and synthesizes them into his own fresh and evocative musical language.'
--HITS Magazine
"I will remember your fine songs, and your able aim.
I look for the next opportunity to hear you sing.
I've heard all it takes to make a good song is three chords and the truth.
You do a great deal with imaginative chords, and a direct obligation to certain truths in your lyrics.
All ears,"
--Van Dyke Parks
'When Murdoch sings, it kind of breaks your heart.'
--Philadelphia Weekly
"Last night's show was amazing. It was my first alexi experience and it was wonderful. His heart, lyrics and music are a blessing to this world...and me in it. "

Gary Jules
Trading Snakeoil for Wolftickets
Rootsy urban folk rock. His version of "Mad World", heard on this CD, was featured in Donnie Darko.
My favorite act in LA? Probably Gary Jules."
| Nic Harcourt, Host of KCRW's Morning Becomes Eclectic
"Gary Jules' Trading Snakeoil for Wolftickets is at once beautiful and haunting, depressing and inspiring, lonely and welcoming -- delicately crafted folk music of the highest order."
| Benjamin Friedland, Rolling Stone
"The best American singer-songwriter to emerge out of the late '90's -- and the only one worthy of being mentioned in the same sentence with Paul Simon, James Taylor, Cat Stevens and Nick Drake."
| Zeke Piestrup, VH-1's "Fresh Pick of the Week"
"Jules' Trading Snakeoil for Wolftickets is the best album to be released this year, anywhere -- let alone in the triple-A genre".
|Chuck Mindenhall, The Village Voice

Jack Johnson
Brushfire Fairytales
Jack wrote the song 'Rodeo Clowns' for G. Love's last album. His roots approach to modern songwriting has also been compared with Ben Harper
Jack Johnson was born on the North Shore of Oahu where he grew up like any local kid; surfing the Pipeline. By 14 he was competing in the Masters tournament as one of the top surfers in the world. It was his near fatal wipe out on one of these monster waves that immortalized him and his battered face became an indelible image in the surfing world.
While recovering, he pursued his interest in filmmaking and soon became a surf film director, photographer, producer and score composer. His most recent film "The September Sessions" won The Surfer Magazine Poll award for best film of the year.
One day G. Love was introduced to Jack for a day of surfing and ended up recording Jack's song "Rodeo Clowns" for his last album Philadelphonic. It became the first single from the album and Jack sang and played on the track.

Jim Bianco
Handsome Devil
Sex songs, Strip teases. Pop songs, tango's , waltz's and songs about redneck weddings. See what LA artist Jim Bianco has been up to....
Bianco has catapulted himself onto the level of eclectic songcraft on par with Elvis Costello and Tom Waits"
--LA WEEKLY
"....one of the year's most lyrically provocative releases. "
-- Nashville City Paper
Reviewer: Quinn Murphy
"I was turned on to Jim through CD Baby by accident. I must say it's the best accident I have ever been in. This album is a phenomenal example of what good music should be. It has everything all "radio" and "trl" artists are lacking: talent. As soon as I heard about Handsome Devil, I ordered it right away. Artists like Jim are few and far between, but the mark they leave is huge. Congrats again on a phenomenal album, and I will do my part as a fan to spread the sound and style of greatness."

Seth Walker and the Differentials
On The Outside
Creative and adventurous, the band breaks new ground breeding a sound that is deeply rooted in traditions from all over the world. Blues, soul, rock, and folk all describe this melting pot. The CD was recorded at Dangerous Studios in New York City
Music has coursed through Seth's blood from birth: raised by musician parents in rural North Carolina, Walker held his first instrument at the age of three. By 1995, Seth migrated from the Tar Heel motherland to the music mecca of Austin, Texas. where he honed his chops along side world-class musicians and begun performing in a variety of venues throughout the Lone Star State. The year of 1997 saw the release of Seth's first album, "When it Rains, It Pours," an homage to the cornerstones of his influence: blues and jazz. His second offering, "Meet Me in the Middle," is a testament to an impassioned urgency to explore uncharted territory, combining eclectic styles in the album's 12 original songs. Seth Walker's musical journey continued on his third album, "restless," a collection of songs that prove to fans and critics alike that Seth is more than a Texas guitar slinger. Of "Restless," John Taylor from Blues on Stage writes, "Seth's prett much left the blues behind on this one (at least according to dictionary definition), instead of favoring a relaxed rootsy sound that nonetheless retains a bluesy sensibility, with a heaping helping of southern soul for flavoring".
