Christian McBride
People Music
$10 for a limited time!
Release: May 14th, 2013
Any time that McBride steps into the studio or onto a stage he plays what could be called “people music,” but it’s a particularly apt title for the second release by his hard-swinging acoustic quintet Inside Straight. Four years after Kind of Brown, the band’s acclaimed debut album, People Music delivers a more road- tested, “lived-in” Inside Straight, able to dig deep while projecting that ebullient vigor that has become McBride’s trademark.
Aaron Diehl
The Bespoke Man’s Narrative
Hot Item Of The Week!
Release: March 19th, 2013

Release: February 19th, 2013
