Steve Earle's new album Townes, is his highly anticipated follow up to the Grammy Award winning album Washington Square Serenade. The 15-song set is comprised of songs written by Earle's friend and mentor, the late singer-songwriter Townes Van Zandt. The songs selected for Townes were the ones that meant he most to Earle and the ones he personally connectedto. Some of the selections chosen were songs that earle has played his entire career (Poncho & Lefty, Lungs, White Freightliner Blues). He learned the song (Quicksilver daydreams of) Maria directly from Van Zandt. Earle taught himself Maria and rake specially for making this record. Earle recorded the New York sessions solo and added the other instruments later in order to preserve the spirit of Van Zandt's original solo performances to the best of his recollection.

In September 2006, punk veterans NOFX set out to cure the boredom that had set in after 25 years of playing to the same crowds. They decided to take their music to places where they'd never been, places where they'd never sold a single record... places where most bands fear to tread. The result was the most ambitious, chaotic, and hilarious tour of their career-and an 8-part docu-series called "NOFX: Backstage Passport". Airing in April 2008 on Fuse TV, "NOFX: Backstage Passport" garnered record ratings for the network with as-it-happened footage of NOFX dealing with shady promoters, crazed fans, whip-wielding dominatrices, grumpy camels, happy tigers, and a man in a pointy hat. Available for the first time on DVD, this 2-disc set includes all 8 episodes of "NOFX: Backstage Passport" along with OVER 2 HOURS of uncensored, never-before-seen bonus footage! Disc One:
Episode 1: Brazil, Chile
Episode 2: Argentina, Ecuador, Peru
Episode 3: Japan
Episode 4: Malaysia, South Korea, Taiwan, China
Episode 5: Indonesia
Episode 6: Israel
Episode 7: Russia
Episode 8: South Africa
Disc Two: Bonus footage for each episode

They have been called "the voice of the American Southwest", but the fact of the matter is that musically Calexico is all over the map (they list as their influences Portugese fado, 50's jazz, gypsy music, 60's surf and spaghetti western epics, among others). But when they made their debut on the Austin City Limits stage on September 13, 2006, their latest record, Garden Ruin, had taken them in new directions that even founding member Joey Burns and John Convertino might not have imagined when they first started recording over 10 years ago.

Americana singer/songwriter Tim Easton has been driven westward both geographically and musically since his college days in Ohio. On his 5th album, Porcupine, the Joshua Tree, CA resident lets a myriad of guitar riffs rooted in blues, country, rockabilly and campfire folk set the color for observational lyrics capturing life from the dessert to the sea. The new album finds Tim's storytelling skills as sharp as quills, possibly inspired by his friend and pal Lucinda Williams. One of Porcupine's shining moments is the wishful two minute pop-folk jangle 7th Wheel (conjured by the same spirits that entired the room while Browne and Frey wrote Take it easy), Easton known for his incessant toruing (from Amsterdam to Anchorage to Ft. wayne to Jacksonville), will be on the road supporting Porcupine for a long time.
