New releases for Feb. 6, 2007

You know, I wish while that ol' groundhog was outside today predicting the weather, he'd also be so kind as to predict whether the impossible-to-keep-up-with pace of CD releases is going to let up anytime soon. Me and my bank account would really like to know.

Here's the list -- another long one -- of new releases of note for the week of Feb. 6:

Patty Griffin -- Children Running Through (Ato)
Carla Bruni -- No Promises (Naive)
Rickie Lee Jones -- The Sermon on Exposition Boulevard (New West)
Sondre Lerche -- Phantom Punch (Astralwerks)
