Looking at the last two issues of Rounder Record's newsletter
called "concentrics", I note the following items of possible interest:

"Rounder is proud to commence manufacturing, promotion and marketing for
Philo Records of Vermont under an agreement worked out in August.  Philo
and Rounder have sustained a strong relationship over the years and have
always worked together with great mutual respect. ... The first new
releases will include a new Utah Phillips album entitled "We Have
Fed You All a Thousand Years" (PH 1076), recorded live in Canada (an
album of labor songs from the I.W.W.) and "The Best of Mary McCaslin"
(PH 1075), with Mary's finest material combined on one album.  ..."

"Since the release of John Fahey's "Let Go", many people seem to have
discovered the guitarist's exquisite acoustic music for the first time.
The album's press now includes a 4-star Rolling Stone critique and a rave
review in Guitar Player"

"In the studio is banjo player Bob Carlin, aided and abetted by Norman
Blake and James Bryan."

"Zydeco master Stanley "Buckwheat" Dural and his Ils Sont Partis Band
were the opening act at the 600 year centennial celebration of the city
of Stockholm, Sweden."  [This group also has a new record out on Rounder
which is more of the modern Zydeco sound- LCM]
