Canadian singer Brett Kissell put out the first part of his new project, "The South Album." This is the first of four albums being released throughout the year as a part of The Compass Project.

Nearly 40 years ago, the Marshall Family's David Marshall issued an album on Mountain Home Music Company. Out of print for years, "Clearwaters" has been newly mastered and is now available as a digital-only album on all streaming platforms. The release was recorded at the Horizon Music Group studios in Asheville, N.C. for the then-fledgling label. Best known for his work with his family's bluegrass gospel group, which released three albums back in the 1970s, Marshall's songs were covered by Ralph Stanley and Larry Sparks. Together with co-producer Tim Surrett, he assembled a group of musicians that included returning members of the Family, multi-instrumentalist David Johnson, J.P. Pennington of Exile, and Dale Ann Bradley; Bryan Sutton; bassist Ben Isaacs (The Isaacs) and mandolinist Jeff Parker (Dailey & Vincent, Joe Mullins & the Radio Ramblers).
