Connie Fisher - Favourite Things

'Favourite Things' is the debut album from reality TV star Connie Fisher. After winning the lead role of Maria in the stage musical 'The Sound Of Music', Fisher has recorded an album of showstopping classics that are sure to bring the house down. Includes the tracks 'As Long As He Needs Me' and 'My Favourite Things'.

Norah Jones - Not Too Late (coming soon)

'Not Too Late' is the eagerly anticipated third studio album from the critically acclaimed singer-songwriter, and the follow up to 2004's 'Feels Like Home.' Consisting of thirteen original songs and featuring guest appearances from the likes of M. Ward, Richard Julian and Jeffrey Zeigler, the album delivers another dose of Jones's sultry vocals and distinctive musical style. Includes the single 'Thinking About You.'

Karen Dalton - In My Own Time

In the same way that Nick Drake was relatively unknown in his own lifetime yet is cited as a major influence by just about anyone with a song and an acoustic guitar, it is entirely probable that future generations will praise the late Karen Dalton as their inspiration, such is the extraordinary quality of both of her albums, each of which has been rediscovered this year to great acclaim. This, her final long-player, was originally released to little fanfare in 1971. It's a remarkable album. The former Greenwich Village singer has one of the most extraordinary voices, plays some of the finest 12-string guitar and interprets songs as brilliantly as any of her contemporaries. Her take on the traditional Katie Cruel rivals Led Zeppelin's folk-rock while When A Man Loves A Man flips Percy Sledge's classic to stunning effect. The eventual irony of the title merely adds to the mystery of an incredible talent.
