| Friend of America Al Jardine's Newest Release |
 Al Jardine, lead singer of The Beach Boy's number one hit "Help Me Rhonda" and good friend of Gerry and Dewey, has released a new compilation through iTunes and Amazon
called "A Postcard from California." It features a Who's Who of guests including Gerry Beckley, Dewey Bunnell, Glen Campbell, Stephen Stills, Neil Young, Brian and Carl Wilson, and many others.
The twelve-song collection includes four cuts that comprise what Jardine calls 'the green side' of the new album, compositions that speak to the relationship of man and his environment. 'Don't Fight the Sea,' 'Tidepool Interlude' and 'A California Saga' are songs that reflect this artist's deep love for the California coastline and his concern for the ecological health of the planet. 'I think this material defines the new project in these days of climate change,' he suggests.
Available from iTunes and Amazon |

| New Release From Maplewood |
| From Tapete Records: "Maplewood returns with Yeti Boombox, their second full-length release. Recorded mostly in the discontented winter of 2008, the 12-song set picks up where Maplewood left off. Again, it features amazing guest performances, this time from Gerry Beckley (America) and Alan Weatherhead (Sparklehorse). The atmosphere may be a little snowier, and the mood a little spacier, but the Maplewoodian hallmarks are all there: lush harmonies, shimmering guitars, evocative storytelling, and gorgeous soundscapes. |   [Click for previews] |
