Song of the Month: Anne and Pete Sibley's " Will You Walk With Me"

Missed this incredible song when it was released in 2005 by Anne and Pete Sibley. Based in Jackson, Wyoming, this husband and wife duo play both traditional and original folk and bluegrass. Anne, guitarist, writes and sings the majority of their songs accompanied by Pete, a virtuoso clawhammer banjo player, on harmony vocals. This is the song I want played at my funeral.

Song of the Month: Pet Buffalo's "The Letter"

Pet Buffalo's independent debut release, Independent Variable, is R&B tinged folk rock with luscious Hammond B-3 organ and Fender Rhodes keyboard noises everywhere. Singer/guitarist Teri Hitt is stunning on so many levels. Recommended.
