May 26, 2017 Jonathan Aird 0
Famously cantankerous master songsmith Paul Simon takes great pleasure in distancing himself from the songs that made him famous in the first place.  The very songs which many people of judgement actually prefer.  But of all […]

Whitehorse are on a roll

May 26, 2017 Jonathan Aird 0
Rolling Stone, no less, have described Whitehorse as a “Superduo whose music swirls together the swampy swagger of the Bible Belt, the minor-akey melancholy of film noir soundtracks and the raw stomp of rock & roll.” […]

May 26, 2017 Jeremy Searle 1
Now this is fun, the new single from the Orange Circus Band, a UK/Virginia outfit who look destined for big things.

Colin Hay “Fierce Mercy” (Compass Records, 2017)

May 25, 2017 Adam Wika 0
The latest solo album from prolific Men at Work frontman Colin Hay is a lesson in how deceptive appearances can be. The kitschy cover design looks like a collage of stock photos and clip art, and […]

Dirty Dozen: Molly’s Kiss

May 25, 2017 Rudie Hayes 0
Molly’s Kiss is a folk band,  lost in the middle of France, composed of a guitar, an accordion, two voices and the will to give simple and catchy songs. Folk melodies, rock energy and generosity! Molly’s Kiss […]

Video Interview: Rodney Crowell on why “Then Again” is better late than never

Essentials: The Top 10 Lucinda Williams Ballads

July 2, 2026 0
It would be strange to start things off by actually introducing Lucinda Williams, so let’s begin with a justification instead: Williams has been at it since her 1979 debut Ramblin’ Woman, though she only truly broke […]

Adam Beattie “Home Fires Burning”

July 2, 2026 0
The hero’s journey echoed in the experiences of an everyman. It might be an exaggeration to say there are as many types of songwriters as there are songwriters, but then again, it might not. As well […]

Buford Pope “Blue Eyed Boy” (Unchained, 2017)
