Cincinnati folky singer-songwriter Kim Taylor has a voice that hearkens back to another Cincinnatian Karin Bergquist of Over the Rhine.  Her 2007 album I Feel Like a Fading Light was a great piece of music.  It just got released on vinyl with new cover art:

If you are one of the first 25 people, you get her new hardcopy EP The Greatest Story for free.  I think even past the first 25, you get the digital version of her new EP for free.

Oh, and two sidenotes / news stories…

Shara Worden / My Brightest Diamond has covered David Bowie‘s “Nature Boy” for the I’ll Stay ‘Til After Christmas compilation.  You can get it on the iTunes or Amazon digital.  In iTunes, just search for “I’ll Stay ‘Til After Christmas”… a’doy!

dredg‘s long-awaited 4th album (by me at least) is due out March 24, 2009.  Their last album, Catch Without Arms, is utterly brilliant.  It was their 3rd album, out in 2005… I found out about them by accident (they were an opener for Coheed & Cambria and the Blood Brothers and I barely made it in time to see them).  I feel in love with dredg‘s sound almost immediately.  Think rock that touches on prog with a great singer and an ethereal slide guitar.  Check out “Ode to the Sun,” “Sang Real,” or “Stone By Stone” on your internet box.
