News arrived earlier this month that ex-pat Milwaukee musician John Kruth's band Tribecastan's disc, "New Songs from the Old Country" had landed near the top of a respected readers poll of the best world music records of the year. That honor caps off a stunning 2013 run in which Tribecastan toured Europe, made its West Coast debut and Kruth published an acclaimed biography of Roy Orbison.
