The Morning Pages + Marta Topferova

Rootsy combo the Morning Pages is based in Brooklyn but delivers a pleasingly vintage, warm country-rock sound that's far more suggestive of Nashville. Check out the band's debut album, produced by Russell Simins (of the Jon Spencer Blues Explosion), The Company You Keep. Opening up, sultry vocalist Marta Topferova may have been born and raised in Prague, but you’d never guess it by the way her voice and guitar caress Brazilian bossa nova, Cuban son and Venezuelan vals as if to the manner born.
