Margo Timmins of the Cowboy Junkies lulling us with "Follower 2." Martin Sexton’s soulful yodeling. Ben Arnold’s playful ode to marriage.

Shanghaiist probably knows a little more about China than the Chicago Sun-Times. Giving them the benefit of the doubt on that one. The city does to have a music scene.
