I heard a song off the new Dar Williams album (Echo?) today on the radio and now I cannot wait. My understanding is that the album comes out in September. Also Erin McKeown has a new album out right now which, from what I've heard, is excellent. Titled "We Will Become Like Birds". Thirdly, someone brought my attention to Sylvie Lewis (www.sylvielewis.com) and to Madeline Peyroux. Go have a listen - I can assure you it'll be worth it.

If anyone has any additional info regarding any of the above, please post. Thanks.
