FHE002: Katharine Whalen & Her Fascinators - Madly Love
"Madly Love is always rewarding. If you want an easy reference point, imagine a less contrived She & Him, with Southern grit taking the place of all the coyness. Sounds pretty good, doesn't it?"
-Popmatters

FHE003: Justin Robinson & the Mary Annettes - Bones for Tinder
While Justin Robinson is most known as a member of the Grammy award-winning, old-time African-American string band the Carolina Chocolate Drops, his passions are not limited to any single field. Bones for Tinder paints a much more vivid picture of this eclectic individual than his work in the Carolina Chocolate Drops ever did.
Blurt Magazine writes, "Folk music, even loosely defined, is rarely this rivetingly unpredictable." Shuffle Magazine writes, "Robinson's debut is a series of wrong turns for the right reasons. If there exists a parcel of common ground between Andre 3000 and John Hartford, Robinson stands confidently upon it, shovel in hand."

FHE004: My Darling Clementine - How Do You Plead?
FHE will be releasing How Do You Plead?, the acclaimed debut by British country duo My Darling Clementine, on September 4th. To order a copy, visit the Five Head store! The North American release of this album includes updated artwork and expanded packaging, including two bonus tracks - one of which is a great reworking of George Harrison's "It's All Too Much"!
In a 4 star review, Uncut Magazine says, "All new duets that carry the sting of authentic classics. This is elegant, grown-up country. Just wonderful!" Duncan Warwick, editor of Country Music People, writes, "Ladies and gentleman, I give you the best British country record ever!"
Make plans to pre-order the album and stay tuned for MDC US tour dates in late August!
