CAFÉ LOUNGING AND PEOPLE WATCHING WITH PUTUMAYO’S ‘ACOUSTIC CAFÉ’

Acclaimed world music label, Putumayo announces the release of Acoustic Café, a compelling collection of singers/songwriters from across the world. Featuring artists from the US, Canada, South Africa and Australia, Acoustic Café continues to offer what Putumayo have become renowned for; carefully curated compilations with an international focus. Whether it be café lounging, people watching or the soundtrack to your Summer Sunday, this exceptional compilation is perfect for even the most discerning listener. Acoustic Café combines the best elements of Putumayo?s successful Acoustic and Café series, which together have sold more than 2 million copies.

On Acoustic Café, Putumayo features rising young stars and new discoveries. In keeping with their global approach, the artists hail from all corners of the globe. Acclaimed American singers such as Trevor Hall and Justin Townes Earle, make an appearance, while Harry Manx (Canada), Gregory Alan Isakov (South Africa) and our very own The Waifs (Australia) are also featured on Putumayo’s first-ever contemporary singer-songwriter collection.

These innovative artists offer a variety of vocal highlights, from the blues-inspired, folk stylings of Brown Bird’s Danger and Dread to Trevor Hall’s contemporary The World Keeps Turnin’. Harry Manx’s cover of Van Morrison?s Crazy Love and Sarah Jarosz’s rendition of Bob Dylan’s Ring Them Bells demonstrate the power of contemporary artists to re-interpret and re-invent beloved classics in their own unique way.

Justin Townes Earle showcases his distinctive dark and raspy vocals with an Americana edge on One More Night in Brooklyn, while The Sweet Remains offer beautiful harmonies on Dance With Me. Gregory Alan Isakov brings a modern-folk twist to The Stable Song while Lucy Kaplansky hews to a more traditional folk sensibility on Manhattan Moon. Fences tell a tale of lost love on From Russia With… and Jon and Roy offer the uplifting Any Day Now. The Waifs round out the collection with their much-loved folk anthem, Love Serenade.
