Blogcritics Goodie Bag: Barbara Fasano, Copeland, Young Capone, Indigo Girls, and Indiestore picks

Part of: Blogcritics Goodie Bag

Barbara Fasano is an actress and pop-jazz vocalist. Appearing at Jazz at Lincoln Center's Allen Room in 2006, she was praised for her "smooth performances of 1940's ballads" (The New York Times). Her performances have taken her around the world, and she made her Carnegie Hall debut in 2005, as part of the Harold Arlen Centennial Concert. Download and listen to a track from her album Written in the Stars, "Come Rain or Come Shine."

Watch the brand new Copeland video for "Control Freak" from the forthcoming album, Eat, Sleep, Repeat, or listen to a stream of the song. A free download of the song "When You Thought You'd Never Stand Out" is available for your enjoyment.

Some envision bandanas while others think of faceless criminals. Nevertheless, there are a couple of good things that are constantly attached to that dubious noun; determination, smarts, respect and the control of your own destiny. 20-year old rapper/producer Young Capone epitomizes those aspects. His debut album Big Faces and Bright Lights is set to impact the rap industry. Starting with the Nitti produced lead single entitled "What It Iz" (lo|hi) and a balance of songs that that reveal details of his life, the world will have nothing but pure admiration for Young Capone's brand of "gangster."

The Indigo Girls finished their contract with Sony/Epic last year, and this year they signed with a new label, Hollywood Records. Fans were concerned and confused because all signs indicated the Girls would go with a major independent label rather than another major label. The explanation was that they felt like it was a good deal for both them and the label, so they went with it. Looks like it's working out well because the label seems to really understand the Indigo Girls and their fan base, from the production work on their new album Despite Our Differences to the video for the first single, "Little Perennials."
