For those unaware, Meredith Moon announces the release of her new studio album From Here To The Sea. Moon’s third album, and first for Compass Records, finds the Canadian-born songwriter and instrumentalist taking a slight detour from the Appalachian old-time roots of the album’s predecessor, Constellations.

Produced and recorded in Ontario and Nashville by Colin Linden (Lucinda Williams, T-Bone Burnett, Bruce Cockburn) and featuring Rebecca Lovell (Larkin Poe), Lillie Mae Rische & Dominic Davis (Jack White), Julian Taylor, George Receli (Bob Dylan), and Jerry Douglas, among others, the album explores avenues of blues, folk, and folk-rock, and even incorporates elements of old-time jazz.

1. East City Blues
2. Poseidon
3. No Closing Time
4. Lulu Gal
5. Six Strings
6. Category Five
7. Sapphire Blue
8. Louisiana Trees
9. The Willow
10. I’ll Remember You In The Summer
11. Freight Train

With Moon having been described as a ‘gem’ in both the old-time and contemporary folk music scenes for her unusual expression of the genres, she opens her stunningly ambient new recording on the atmospherically charged modern day folk/blues of East City Blues and the impassioned smoothness of Poseidon, the gently rolled No Closing Time, the traditional, banjo-fueled Lulu Gal, before the luxuriant Six Strings is brought forth.

Along next is the lushly comfortable feel to Category Five which is itself backed by the acoustic-based grooves that drive Sapphire Blue, the languishing beauty of Louisiana Trees and the heartfelt The Willow, the set rounding out on the hauntingly resilient I’ll Remember You In The Summer, closing on the gentle sundown twang of Freight Train
