My Darling Clementine
Michael Weston King & Lou Dalgleish are My Darling Clementine. "How Do You Plead?" is an album of pure and natural country duets, written and sung by Michael Weston King and his wife and partner, Lou Dalgleish. My Darling Clementine evokes the great duets of such icons as Porter Wagoner & Dolly Parton, George Jones & Tammy Wynette but adds a touch of country soul to the mix bringing memories of the likes of Delaney and Bonnie, Donnie Fritts, Bobby Gentry and Dan Penn.

Camille Delean
Born in Toronto, Camille was raised in Whitby, Ontario by a mother who played the piano every night and a music encyclopedia for a father. As a child she performed at various events and festivals throughout Ontario and Québec. At age 17, wanting to clear her head of any outside influence while planning her next step she went to Ecuador for a few months on a trip that was to change everything. Suddenly the only thing that mattered was getting on trains and moving.

Holly Golightly & The Brokeoffs
Holly Golightly and Lawyer Dave first met in the basement of a China Town smuggler's den. Holly had need for an upright bass player to do a small U.S. tour and The Lawyer was the only one she could find. After a half hour run-through, they were off the next day. You might could say that this was the beginning of their collaboration as the idea of doing records together was first conceived on those long drives in the American West. After nearly ten years, seven-hundred-thousand miles, countless shows and other misadventures, the time finally came.

Kim Richey
It's difficult to find a specific category fitting for Ohio-born singer/songwriter Kim Richey. With each album, she seems to defy any kind of definite classification. Though she has composed hits for country superstars like Trisha Yearwood ("Believe Me Baby (I Lied)"), she is a gifted vocalist in her own right. Each of her overlooked albums has received some level of critical acclaim, perhaps her fourth, 2002's Rise, for its risky instrumentation, vocals, and lyrics, has enjoyed the most praise from critics.

Rainer
Born on June 7, 1951, in East Germany, Rainer Jaromir Ptacek grew up in Chicago after his family fled the Communist country in 1953. Musically inclined from childhood, in the mid '60s Rainer swapped violin for guitar. (He once quipped, "None of the Beatles, it seemed, were interested in violin.") A decade later he'd become a fixture on the Tucson music scene, ultimately garnering an international reputation as a song stylist and slide virtuoso that had critics speaking of him, Ry Cooder and John Fahey in the same breath...

Years spent as a hitchhiker and a period of homelessness have enriched Kirsty McGee’s knowledge of people and places, all whilst keeping her moving. After spending a while building tree houses and bagging-out earth from tunnels at road protest camps Kirsty sold all her possessions and hitched to Cornwall where she lived in a beach hut and developed the writing and vocal styles that have earned her a reputation as one of the most respected songwriters of her generation.
