adam mcbride-smith Traveller's Moon (LP, £12.25)

Adam McBride-Smith grew up in Oklahoma, but has called many places home since then. His mix of dark-minded folk, old-timey shakedowns, and country and blues first appeared on record with his 2007 debut album Good and Gone. 2010 saw the release of Half Seas Over, a collaboration between McBride-Smith and pianist-composer Elan Mehler (Brownswood Recordings).
