Artist: BRYANT, SHELBY Title: Luscious
Format: CD Catalog
Number:
SLR057
Price: $13.98 Label: Smells Like Records
Release
Date:
11/12/07
***Shelby Bryant has not released an album in a while because he's a responsible adult and had to think about it. What does it take for a musical genius to think these days? Well, you have to stick your head in a few ovens. You gotta take in some sights and sounds. Bryant has recently been playing in a Memphis band called Fingers Like Saturn and writing music for movies and experimental videos. In the last century when things were made by hand, he made dough with Memphis combo The Clears and released a solo record called Cloud-Wow Music (both released on Smells Like Records). After disappearing for a while in Africa, or maybe Asia, Bryant is back with a strangely unique and strongly addictive collection of pop songs and instrumentals.

What is this Luscious thing? Pop confection-- a recipe for poetry, beauty, and fun. Bryant's ability to craft music is like a pastry chef effortlessly smothering his best girl with chocolate. Who said you can't get too much of a good thing?

Artist: SCHERR, TONY Title: Twist In The Wind
Format: CD Catalog
Number:
SLR056
Price: $12.00 Label: Smells Like Records
Release
Date:
2/4/08
***Amid a virant New York City music scene, Tony Scherr is known most notably for his continuing work with such distinguished artists as Norah Jones, Willie Nelson, Bill Frisell, Steven Bernstein's Sexmob, Jesse Harris & The Ferdinandos and John Lurie & The Lounge Lizards. A powerhouse double-bassist, gallant electric guitarist, and affecting songwriter, Scherr's self-taught musical prowess has been an undeniably integral part of influential songwriters' careers. One of the city's most in-demand musicians is now focasing his own songcraft.

Scherr's sophomore effort, Twist in the Wind, features performances by Bill Frisell, Mickey Raphael (Willie Nelson), Mauro Refosco (Bebel Gilberto, David Byrne), Kate Fenner, Michelle Casillas (Ursa Minor) and David Phelps. As with his 2002 debut record Come Around, Scherr enlisted his bassist brother Peter Scherr, drummer Kenny Wollesen (Bill Frisell, Jesse Harris) and Hammond organist Chris Brown as his backing band for the new release.

Over the past year, Scherr's anomalous songs have travelled in some impressive circles. His long-standing friendship with Broken Social Scene resulted in Leslie Feist's reinvention of his composition "Sacramento." Scherr's cover of Jesse Harris's "You The Queen" appears in Ethan Hawke's new film, The Hottest State, alongside tracks by Willie Nelson, Norah Jones, Cat Power and Bright Eyes.

"One of the best guitar players I've ever seen." --Norah Jones

. "His guitar playing and laid-back singing are haunting, and his songwriting stands out." --Playboy

Artist: WOLFINGTON, JOHN Title: American Dreamsicle
Format: CD Catalog
Number:
SLR054CD
Price: $9.50 Label: Smells Like Records
Release
Date:
8/20/07
***Shortly after the 2001 release of his eponymous debut, John Wolfington took a break from New York City and made a trip cross-country in his 1982 Buick LeSabre. He stopped in Nashville and Memphis, broke down in Tucumcari, New Mexico, and even dipped down to Nuevo Laredo, Mexico before spending some time setting up a home life in Los Angeles. Heavily influenced by his time on the West Coast and his eventual return to NYC again in 2005, the ten songs on American Dreamsicle reflect Wolfingtonis experiences shortly before and during that trip and are sequenced chronologically from 2001 to 2006.

As on Wolfingtonis previous full-length, Steve Shelley (of Sonic Youth) and Tim Foljahn (of Two Dollar Guitar) contribute drums and bass to the bulk of this album. Recorded at New Yorkis Magic Shop with Brian Thorn, American Dream-sicle shimmers with a more direct sound** la Plastic Ono Band and After the Gold Rush-era Neil Young.

The American Dreamsicle double-LP in a gatefold package includes Wolfingtonis self-titled debut LP as a bonus platter.
