Fish Records Mailer Issue 16 (Oct/Nov 2001)

Following the previous mailer was never going to be easy, but the new release schedule picked up in the late summer, and there are some fantastic albums around. The Pierce Pettis album is a superb piece of work, and there are big new releases from Alison Krauss, Dar Williams and Lucy Kaplansky.
