ALTROK Ordinals 36

Josh Ritter - Golden Age Of Radio (Signature Sounds)
Jeff says: He’s from Moscow ... Idaho, but lives in Boston now. Has been likened to Nick Drake, Cat Stevens, and the like. 24 damn years old.
 
Luce - Luce (Joe’s Music)
Jeff says: Tom Luce assembled his eponymous band in the wake of recording his debut LP, which features veteran musicians from such stalwart acts as Counting Crows, Lisa Loeb, and Clarence Clemons. Luce had been attending college in North Carolina when he was compelled to return to his native Bay Area by the terminal illness of his father. Luce has gone on to local popularity in the Bay Area club scene, as well as securing lucrative opening spots on national tours.
 
Luka Bloom - Between The Mountain and The Moon (Bar None)
Jeff says: Irish songwriter is back with his first album of new, original songs in 4 years. "Love Is A Place I Dream Of" features the vocals of Sinead O’Connor.
