February 25, 2020 Jonathan Aird 0

Noted Dori Freeman collaborator and scion of a noble house, Teddy Thompson actually sent this song of ended love out into the world on Valentine’s Day.  It’s the antithesis of romance though, as it comes from […]

Video: The Hanging Stars “I Will Please You”

February 25, 2020 Andrew Frolish 0

There’s a lovely rhythmic foundation to this new single from The Hanging Stars.  It builds well, driven by excellent musicianship – great drums, keys and guitar.  The song is tale about a cult leader from the […]

Johnny Winter “Highway 61 Revisited” – Listen

February 24, 2020 Jonathan Aird 0

A little extra for today – since Johnny Winter would have been 76 years old yesterday, and sometimes you just really need to hear a ten minute take on Dylan’s classic with some screeching guitar playing.  […]

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 […]

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 […]
