ROB SEZ: Mipso is a young, talented band from Chapel Hill, N.C. The group blends acoustic, bluegrass, and old time styles to create something fresh. Check the sample to decide if it might be up your alley. Big thanks to DG for taping, matrixing & sharing the Martinsville show, and to tom for taping and sharing the Mountain Stage set.

rare, previously unreleased & live

ROB SEZ: No time for a more extensive share today, but I know there are Waterboys / Mike Scott fans out there who'll enjoy this. This was a strictly limited-edition release from 2012, available only at live shows and online — long gone by now. I've included Mike Scott's track-by-track notes in the folder. (Here's hoping the fan-friendly Mr. Scott won't mind my sharing it here for free.)

ROB SEZ: Last Friday's post didn't do justice to this extraordinary artist. Pardon me for the caps lock, but YOU JUST HAVE TO LISTEN TO THE SAMPLE RIGHT NOW ... if not sooner. Go ahead; I'll wait. [...this is me, waiting...] OK, see what I mean? NICOLE ATKINS DESERVES TO BE A STAR. Her latest album, Goodnight Rhonda Lee is already a classic in my book (AllMusic's rating = 4 & 1/2 stars). I'm challenging all open-minded music fans to go stream it right now. I promise you'll thank me. So what's her sound? Take some Chris Isaac, Roy Orbison, Peggy

Lee, Nancy Sinatra, Patsy Cline and throw it in a blender. Add judicious quantities of the Muscle Shoals R & B sound, classic country and some rock, pour it over ice, and you have a musical cocktail that tastes amazing and will knock you out in the best possible way. Haven't heard a rant from me like this in a while, have you?!? There's a reason for that: no one's knocked my socks off like Nicole Atkins in a very long time. MEGA THANKS to WFUV & WFMU for sharing the good stuff. Enjoy photos and video from the WFUV live session here.

Recorded & Produced by NYCTaper (where you'll find additional Nicole Atkins shows in great quality)

ROB SEZ: No time this week for anything lengthy about Nicole Atkins. Suffice it to say she wouldn't be appearing here if I didn't think she was worth considerably more attention than she seems to have garnered over the years. An amazing voice, great songwriting chops, and a charismatic performer. Repercussion "camp followers" might recognize her name from a few collaborations with Cotton Mather, which is how I found out about her. BIG THANKS to Jerry C., who recorded & shared the 2011 show and to NYCTaper, who did their usual amazing job with the 2014 show. You'll find other live recordings by Nicole at NYCTaper.

Nicole's latest LP is Goodnight Rhonda Lee — go get it!
