MICHAEL FRACASSO
Back To Oklahoma
Michael Fracasso's long-awaited follow-up to ”World In A Drop of Water” is here. “Back To Oklahoma” was recorded live before a standing-room only crowd at the Blue Door in Oklahoma City and once again teams Fracasso with his friend and producer Charlie Sexton (Bob Dylan, Lucinda Williams) who accompanies the songwriter on electric and acoustic guitars and vocals. The album showcases Fracasso’s haunting tenor voice on signature songs such as “Brazos River Blues” and “Big Sister” in addition to several unrecorded songs including the longtime crowd favorite “Save Her Love,” the edgy “Elizabeth Lee,” “Never Enough,” a tender tribute to Lucinda Williams, and the thoughtful “1962” in which Fracasso and Sexton’s performance evokes the Everly Brothers. The album also documents several covers that Michael has been performing over the years such as the Irish ballad “Dirty Old Town”. Artist Mary Jo Guthrie Edgemon, Woody Guthrie’s sister, has created a colorful folk-art drawing to serve as the cover for the CD.

GOD DRIVES A GALAXY
It's Late But I Feel Early
Anti-pop experimentation from ex-Nogood Boyos John Constant and Corey Butler, Greg Rose and former Bob Mould bass player Jim Wilson. Constant and company meld bone-crunching guitars with offbeat melodies, strange vocal ambiences and random noise to create a pop-inspired 6-course meal described by one fan as “Bowie meets the Toadies”. Enhanced CD!
"Former Nogood Boyos John Constant and Corey Butler and a couple of other pals constitute the undefinable God Drives a Galaxy. Their recent debut, "It's Late But I Feel Early," out now on Austin's India Records, is by turns woozy, muscular and poppy. The vocals are recorded close to the mic, Brit-style, but the music, which can sound underwater one moment, on fire the next, knows no boundaries." -- Jeff Salamon

GOUDIE
Effects of Madness
Goudie's musical roots are in the seventies but their approach is infused with fresh inspiration and their own brand of raw sensuality. Johnny Goudie and his original creative partner, bassist and backing vocalist Einar have realized a highly personal follow-up to last year's 'Peep Show' with the help of guitarist Sean Mullens and gifted drummer Nina Singh of Kitty Gordon. *This CD contains bonus MP3s of other India artists.

JEFF KLEIN
It's Late But I Feel Early
Klein's vocals at times recall the rasp of Jon Dee Graham, other times the brooding of Son Volt's Jay Farrar. “Break My Heart” treads deep emotional territory with haunting melodies and startling lyrics that are at times sarcastic, yet always intense and heartfelt. This is only Jeff’s second release but it sounds like the work of a grizzled veteran.
"One of Austin's rising stars, Jeff Klein is a young singer-songwriter with a serious, cynical soul. His new sophomore effort You'll Never Get to Heaven If You Break My Heart on local indie label India is dark and moody, bristling with tension, yet possesses a melodic edge that draws the listener in and won't let go." -- Jim Caligiuri March 16, 2001
