August 6, 2021 Jonathan Aird 0

On ‘Last of the Better Days Ahead‘ Charlie Parr sings with some vitriol of the pointlessness of trying to go back.  So, you had a fancy chromed up car in your youth, which you sold and […]

Here is the video premiere of ‘Just One’, featuring the infectious sound of Elaine Palmer, who delivers a fabulous vocal performance, once again.  During the song’s gentle beginning and verses, Palmer’s voice is delicate and smooth.  […]
