New releases: Sept. 4, 2007

New releases of note for Sept. 4:

Greg Brown -- Yellow Dog [live] (Earthwork)
A live CD in earth-friendly packaging that features several new songs. Benefits Michigan's Upper Peninsula's Yellow Dog Watershed Preserve.

Suzy Bogguss -- Sweet Danger (Loyal Duchess)
Onetime "cowboy's sweetheart" takes a stab at jazz-pop.

Ferraby Lionheart -- Catch the Brass Ring (Nettwerk)

Will Kimbrough -- EP (Thirty Tigers)

Michelle Shocked -- To Heaven U Ride (Mighty Sound)
The result of an unearthed recording from Shocked's gospel set at the 2003 Telluride Bluegrass Festival.

Townes Van Zandt -- Be Here to Love Me (Fat Possum)
Townes Van Zandt -- For the Sake of the Song (Fat Possum)
The first is the "official" release of the TVZ doc of the same name -- the movie came out a few years ago, but there was some money/label weirdness with the accompanying soundtrack, I understand. This release is the one officially sanctioned by the TVZ people -- so don't I feel like an ass for buying the first one. "Sake" is a reissue of Townes very first album, recorded in 1968.
