‘Urn’ by Mike Dillon turns lucky 13 today! Released on this day in 2012, the album was cut straight to tape in Kansas City and was the first in a series of albums by Mike D to be released on RPF over the years!

Both a raucous party starter turned up loud and a deep headphone listen after everyone’s gone home, it validates Mike D’s reputation as a beloved cult music hero fearlessly forging his own path.

One of our all time favorite Mike Dillon albums ‘Rosewood’ celebrates five years today!

Dillon created the album solely with vibraphone and percussion instruments and titled the record after the type of lumber used to make marimba bars.

The 13-track collection was written and recorded during a period of profound change and swirls with the tangled and bittersweet emotions of one chapter ending as another began.

“I started spending time in Kansas City in August 2017, where I’d previously lived in 1997,” explains Dillon. “My friend of twenty years, Peregrine Honig, invited me to see her beautiful art studio converted from an old church building called Greenwood Social Hall. By December, I brought my marimba there and would play for hours. The songs on this record wrote themselves in that sonically sacred space.”

A small allotment of vinyl and CDs are still available in the RPF shop!

Reed Mathis joined by Adam MacDougall, Giulio Xavier Cetto, Jay Lane, Natalie Cressman and Elliott Peck continue to reimagine the Bob Dylan songbook with their take on “Down In The Flood”!

“This song is saying trouble is HERE! And, babe, if you can’t hang or take care of business, you’re gonna get LEFT! It’s a no nonsense song. One could say it is cruel; one could also say it has healthy boundaries. Being that the metaphor here involves levees and a flood, I made the choice to borrow some groove information from New Orleans drumming, but once past the lyrics, we took the form through a whole bunch of different styles, always trading and improvising and conversing.” — Reed Mathis
