Nancy Cassidy - So Much Weather

And, kudos to Red House Records for making their catalog available on emusic.com. Good stuff there - if you like Greg Brown, The Wailin' Jennys, Eliza Gilkyson, Lucy Kaplansky, or Robin and Linda Williams and you don't subscribe to emusic, you are missing out. Most Compass Records releases are there as well. It's a very reasonable resource - my subscription costs about $0.23 per song.
