"Children Running Through" continues the remarkable creative evolution that's quietly established Patty Griffin as a vital and singular musical force. It also belies her persistent sensitive-singer-songwriter image—a limiting perception that fails to fully convey the emotional depth and breadth of her songwriting or the emotive power of her fluid, soulful singing. Indeed, the new disc's 12 originals maintain a timelessly truthful resonance that echoes a variety of styles, most notably the classic R&B and gospel music that have long been a source of inspiration for the artist.

"I just wanted to write from the heart and let it be," Griffin says of the project. "Some of the most beautiful music I've ever heard is when you catch somebody singing to themselves. I wanted to make music that had that feeling."

br>Following the release of their fourth critically acclaimed full-length album, Z, My Morning Jacket has delivered what is surely to become their quintessential body of work – two discs and a concert film. They contain their most dynamic, otherworldly compositions to date, presented in their finest form. Live.
Belying the myth that live albums tend to highlight the disparity between it and its studio counterpart, Okonokos: Double Live Album, mixed by Michael Brauer (Bob Dylan, Coldplay) and mastered by pre-eminent engineer Bob Ludwig, delves into the realm of raw, rich, elevated sound, while proudly staying true to its roots. The treasury begins with “Wordless Chorus,” one of the Jacket’s captivating traditional introductions. A glacially expansive “One Big Holiday” grips you, throws you into a trance-inspiring guitar riff frenzy, quiets down, and leads you through another transcendent moment. The collection continues to mesmerize through the second disc, and closes with a spirited “Mahgeeta."

Vusi Mahlasela, known in South Africa as 'The Voice,' makes his North American debut with The Voice, a definitive collection handpicked by Vusi which spans his recordings over the last eleven years.

"Vusi Mahlasela sings as a bird does: in total response to being alive. He is a national treasure."
- Nadine Gordimer, 1991 Nobel Prize winner

"He was a voice during the revolution, a voice of hope, like a Woody Guthrie or Bob Dylan of South Africa, and he still is."
- Dave Matthews

"With a soundtrack by Vusi Mahlasela, the way forward is clear--and a bit easier thanks to the uplifting force of his timeless creations."
- Roger Steffens
