Aldora Britain Records proudly presents Anna Lee (You Are The Diamond Of The Sea), a collection of 25 eclectic musical selections from all around the globe. The compilation's title comes from the opening track, 'Anna Lee' by Jackson Pines. A beautiful and pleasant-minded country folk fingerpicker. What better way is there to kick off proceedings?
Alongside Jackson Pines, we welcome back two other good friends this week. From Greece, we have Robert Sin & The Huckleberries who contribute their troubadouring country rock. We also enjoy a fine selection from Anthony St. James, the acoustic punk singer/songwriter who brings us lyrically-minded indie folk. A fine taster of his debut solo album.
As always, please download, listen loud, dig deeper with your discoveries, and support Aldora Britain Records and independent music.
Have a brilliant weekend!
Tom @ Aldora Britain Records

Fuzzy Austin trio follow up their first album in 20 years, released in Spring 2015, with a stomping new EP of noisy rock & roll. Bandcamp New & Notable Feb 26, 2016
supported by 8 fans who also own “Anna Lee (You Are The Diamond Of The Sea)”
The flac version of this sounds great in my truck... not a crunch, clip or boom to be heard. That, in itself, gets this major points.
This is a lovely combination of early Floyd, U2 and a few San Francisco bands from the '60s with a heavy dose of Helmet tossed in. It's definitely best of breed when it comes to modern psych stuff. Even without a Hammond B3, it gets an easy A+... rick-taylor
