Album Reviews

Imelda May “Life Love Flesh Blood” (Decca, 2017)

April 4, 2017 Michael Farley 0
This is the first album from Imelda May since 2014 and it is impecably produced by none other than the legendary T Bone Burnett. The style represents a change of direction from the Dublin born singer […]

Ryan Lee “Always A River” (Independent, 2016)

April 4, 2017 Maurice Hope 0
Ryan Lee doesn’t perform like most singer-songwriters since he marches to the beat of a different drum. His style of work reminds me of the anguished torment associated with much of the work of the late Vic Chesnutt, […]

Adult Karate “Indoors” (Plug Research, 2017)

April 4, 2017 Jonathan Aird 0
This might be a hard sell, and to be straight from the outset there is not a shred of what most people would define as Americana in this release. Nor is there a touch of roots, […]

Paul Kelly announces UK dates for later this year

April 4, 2017 Mark Whitfield 0
Paul Kelly is one of the legends of Aussie singer-songwriting, so much so that he’s been Bob Dylan’s support of choice when he’s toured in Australia, but he’s still relatively unknown on UK shores – although […]

South By Southwest Festival 2017. Austin, Texas

April 4, 2017 Oliver Gray 0
I normally advise Americana-loving friends who enquire about sxsw simply to visit Austin at any time of the year and check out venues like the Broken Spoke or the Saxon Pub to get the authentic Austin […]

Two Runner “Porchlight”

August 27, 2026 0
Old-time instruments meet new-world issues. Two Runner is the musical nom de plume of Paige Anderson (although until this record, the band had been a long-term collaborative relationship with fiddler Emilie Rose). Anderson has now taken […]

Interview: Nora Kelly holds space for the quirky in outlaw country music

August 24, 2026 1
It’s always the ride and not necessarily the destination that makes a trip through a Nora Kelly Band album worthwhile. The songs can be zany, intriguing and melancholic all at once, cavorting to their own primal […]

Paul Messinger “America 2.0 – Assorted Tales and The New Myth” (Independent 2017)

August 18, 2017 0
America 2.0 is an extraordinary album that attempts to examine the very concept of what America is in the Trump era and what it means to be part of the great American melting pot. It is […]
