Album Reviews

Rob Corcoran “Inverse Alchemy” (Independent 2017)

January 4, 2018 Keith Hargreaves 0

An album of delicate playing, strong emotion and beautiful harmonised playing and singing. What more could a listener ask from an album. Not much, really. For the most part this is a collection of fully realised […]

Album Reviews

Turnpike Troubadours – “A Long Way From Your Heart” (Bossier City, 2017)

January 4, 2018 Jeremy Searle 0

It is an immutable law of album reviewing that at the end of every year when things are winding down and there’s very little new around an album pops up that is, quite simply, immense. It’s […]

Album Reviews

Barney Benthall “The Drifter and The Preacher” (True North Records 2017)

January 3, 2018 Keith Hargreaves 0

Multi platinum selling Canadian singer songwriter’s 10th album which was released in his home country in July last year but has now been released here. It is in many ways what you would expect from a […]

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

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 […]
