Quick pick for Monday

If you're looking something for tonight, check out Duff's Garage for a roots music evening with Steve James and Eilen Jewell. Steve is a fine singer, picker and long time student of folk blues. Eilen is getting a lot of great notice for her blend of country, blues and early rock and roll, particularly for her new CD Sea of Tears.

Eilen Jewell's Sea of Tears has the feel of a breakout record. The Boston-by-way-of-Boise singer/songwriter already has built an avid following with three rootsy recordings teeming with songs that sound born of speakeasies and honky-tonks and train rides, all without—and this is the truly impressive part—a whiff of contrivance.
