LIVING IN MOTION, Guthrie's first solo album, features a number of award-winning songs performed with the Tuscaloosa native's characteristic honesty and wry humor. From the wistful regret of the understated "Baltimore" to the rough-hewn philosophy of "Some People" (from which the album's title comes), Guthrie is at his best when he finds characters stoking the last embers of their desire. Such a focus might make for heavy listening, but Guthrie also knows how to keep things light and breezy, as with the joyous, boozy sway of the opener "We are the Traveling Sound" and the wicked gospel stomper "Gonna Go to Heaven." Living in Motion reminds us that for all the furious activity in our lives, we always seem to end up where we started; at least Guthrie helps us believe that these lines of motion stretch from the ground to the moon.

The How and Why
A collection of home recordings and demos, "The How and Why," finds writer/performer Seth Martin blending playful, neo-folk overtones with the heavier electric swirl of garage rock, creating a body of songs that brings to mind John Prine as easily as it does American Analog Set.
With songs like "Heavenly" (the collection's opener) and the asymmetrical "Baby I'm Boss," Martin dupes us into thinking we're headed straight for indie rock outer space, but brings us back to earth with offerings like "Rich Divorcee Island," a short but poignant lament cut from more traditional country fabric, and "Drinks from the Rail," a fun sing-along that foreshadows some of Martin's more recent songwriting with The Sinful Savage Tigers.
Although still searching for a proper voice, Martin's aptitude for marrying words to melody is never more present than it is on The How and Why. His is a lyricism that rewards repeated listens.
