Trippers & Askers “Acorn”

July 30, 2021 Ljubinko Zivkovic 0

Trippers & Askers comes up with a brilliant Americana/Spiritual Jazz combo that should certainly end up on the best of the year lists. We’ve seen/heard so many things incorporated into Americana. Some work perfectly, some flop […]

Track Premiere: Slow Rosary “Evangeline”

July 30, 2021 Jonathan Aird 0

Ah, that’s neat – we’ve bookended the week with songs with the same title (go check Monday, ‘cos it’s true).  Same title, but a very different sound – Slow Rosary have more of a modern folk […]

July 30, 2021 Andrew Frolish 0

One of the stand-out albums of 2020 was the upbeat ‘Like a Rising Sun’ from folk-rock Canadian group Shred Kelly.  Now, we have a video to accompany the upbeat ‘Roman Candle Eyes’, which was one of […]

July 29, 2021 Alasdair Fotheringham 1

How being  ‘Kings of Middle of Nowhere’ helped inspire his latest album. When the time finally comes that we can look back on the pandemic, musical historians may well note that it proved fertile terrain for […]

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 […]

Shane Casey “Silver Star” (Independent, 2020)

August 27, 2020 0

Opening with ‘Oh Father’ Casey’s arresting but ultimately disappointing album goes big on page one. Melancholic lyricism, swooping guitar solos over a frame of a handpicked acoustic guitar. It’s all loud, quiet, loud, quiet and we […]

Aoife O’Donovan “Prodigal Daughter” – you can go home, maybe

November 9, 2021 1

Some singers are their own guarantee of excellence – so I really shouldn’t need to try and persuade anyone to listen to ‘Prodigal Daughter‘.  It’s Aoife O’Donovan, and it’s beautifully played and sung and the lyrics […]
