Album Reviews

Tyne Darling “These Ghosts” (Hope Parade, 2017)

April 18, 2017 Michael Farley 0

Tyne Darling is not a real person but the musical and stage moniker for Tommy Vollman, a writer and artist and it appears the subject matter of a forthcoming book. The songs apparently are a companion […]

Album Reviews

Greg Wickham “If I Left this World” (Thirty Days Records, 2017)

April 18, 2017 Paul Kerr 5

Live Reviews

Kelly Sloan, The Bellows at The Wheelwright Inn, Colyford, 11th April 2017

April 18, 2017 Peter Churchill 0

The schedule of a touring musician is a thing of mystery at times.  Here we find Kelly Sloan, one of what seems to be a never-ending stream of talented singer-songwriters emanating from Canada, playing to a […]

Album Reviews

JD Fox & The Velvet Street Band ‘’A Tribute To Donnie Fritts’’ (Independent, 2016)

April 18, 2017 Nick Jarman 0

The interesting thing about a lot of tribute albums is where the new artists take the songs. Donnie Fritts was a session musician for Kris Kristofferson for 40 years, and a pioneer in the music emerging […]

Interviews

Interview: Jim White on Trey Blake and the backstory of “Precious Bane”

February 12, 2026 1

If you’ve heard anything about Jim White, you’ve probably heard about the surfing, the modeling, the cab driving, and the unlikely way David Byrne changed his life with a record deal. You’ve heard about the junk […]

Behind the Songs

Interview: Tess Liautaud on the New Zealand roots scene and the songs from Blue Mind

February 10, 2026 0

From the first, rhythmically strummed notes of Blue Mind, Tess Liautaud, the Ōtautahi-based Franco-American singer-songwriter who has immersed herself among the characters on the New Zealand roots music scene, creates a lush, twangy, rock and country-soul […]

Interviews

Interview: Jonathan Bernstein on Justin Townes Earle, addiction, and the music that remains

February 9, 2026 0

Jonathan Bernstein did not set out to sanctify Justin Townes Earle, nor to reduce him to a cautionary tale. With What Do You Do When You’re Lonesome, Bernstein instead accomplishes something far more difficult: he restores dimensionality […]

Album Reviews

J.W. Schuller “No Mud In Joyville” (Independent, 2018)

March 6, 2018 0

“Quirky” is difficult to get right as it can easily slide into archness or clever clever pointlessness. JW Schuller’s acoustic folk-pop nails it though, and on his second release, a seven song, twenty-six minute mini-album he […]

Album Reviews

Daniel Green “Vanish Like A Cloud In Sunlight” (Timezone, 2019)

October 18, 2019 0

It takes a brave artist to make an album with the main focus on death, particularly where family and close friends are concerned. Daniel Green’s 3rd solo effort does just that; as the marketing material states […]

Video: Jo Schornikow “Ghosts”

March 7, 2019 0

Jo Schornikow plays with Phosphorescent but has taken time out for a debut solo album Secret Weapon, out on March 29th, from which this rather delicate and lovely song is taken.  Great video too.
