"Jake Andrews" - new album by the 21 year old Austin, Texas guitar sensation. His 1999 album, "Time To Burn", got to #11 in Radio & Records' Mainstream Rock Chart. Expect the same action from this disc. Or better! To be released date in February of 2002 by Antones Records/Texas Music Group/Rykodisc. Visit www.jakeandrews.com and www.antonesrec.com

Joe Louis Walker has completed his Carla-produced album. It features an eclectic group of musicians: Wallace Roney on trumpet, Ernie Watts on saxophone, Barry Goldberg on Hammond B3 organ, Bob Hurst on bass, Ndugu Chancler on drums, and Master Henry Gibson on percussion. The songs range from three written by Van Morrison, Otis Redding, and Boz Scaggs to some exploratory original instrumentals. Due in November on Evidence Music.

Kris Wiley - recorded & mixed. Kris is a guitar player who many in the Los Angeles area have been waiting for a breakout release from for a few years. Expect something a bit less Blues oriented and a whole lot more Rock'n'Roll than one would have surmised. (release date and label uncertain at this time)

And did we mention: New Album Out Now!

Remember, Carla's new album "The Ring Of Truth" on Evangeline Recorded Works, already released in England was released August 27, 2002 in the US on Smile Records. (US cover at left, UK cover at right).
