The fall release schedule begins to kick into high gear next week, but this week's relatively light output still holds a few gems including new music from Lindsey Buckingham, Gaslight Anthem offshoot The Horrible Crowes, superb Brit guitarist and songwriter Scott Matthews and the always superb Canadian songstress Emm Gryner.

Lindsey Buckingham - Seeds We Sew (Buckingham) - Twenty-five years after "Go Your Own Way", a song that moved Fleetwood Mac from British blues-rock pioneers to SoCal pop hitmakers, guitarist/songwriter and occasional frontman Buckingham is back with his sixth solo project in advance of a Mac reunion next year...more DC

Scott Matthews - What the Night Delivers (San Remo, UK) - Third studio album of psychedelica-tinged folk/rock is also a reunion with producer Jon Cotton, the man behind Matthews' outstanding 2006 debut Passing Strangers (and brilliant Ivor Norvello award-winning track "Elusive")... comparisons to Nick Drake, Jeff Buckley and the acoustic side of Led Zep notwithstanding, Matthews has found his own voice, mixing moody acoustic soundscapes with an almost spooky spiritual vibe...fan Robert Plant guested on the '09 sophomore release Elsewhere...more DC
Emm Gryner - Northern Gospel (Dead Daisy, U.S.:Digital Only) - Another fine collection of hooky (sm)art pop from the Canadian songwriter who has been turning out superb albums over the past 15 years. More on Gospel coming soon...
