Jill Barber “Beautiful Life” – is not experienced virtually

December 23, 2022 Jonathan Aird 0

Songs about computers and odes to the cell phone are pretty much anathema to this feature, so it’s something of a surprise to find that Jill Barber’s ‘Beautiful Life‘ has made the cut. There’s a reason […]

December 22, 2022 Jonathan Aird 0

And it has become a cliché now – this has been a weird year. But if you say that at the end of every year for five or six years in a row then has it […]

Billy Strings “Me/And/Dad”

December 22, 2022 Kimberly Bright 0

Exciting collection of bluegrass covers from singer-songwriter and guitar god Billy Strings and his father, guitarist Terry Barber. Billy Strings can shred on guitar with the kind of diabolical speed and agility normally attributed to the […]

Interview: Juana Everett is setting herself free

August 7, 2026 0

At once nostalgic travelogue, introspective head-trip, and rootsy showcase, Madrid-born Juana Everett’s second album should be her breakthrough record. Past Lives in California swims headfirst through the murky waters of transit, both literal and metaphysical. Bring […]

Margo Price “Days of Unrest”

August 7, 2026 0

A powerful message that’s relayed with the kind of vigour and skill needed to make people sit up and listen. “In his oval room, in his rockin’ chair / He’s the president, but I don’t care […]

Classic Clips: The Mavericks “Born To Be Blue” – Live at American Songwriter Studios, 2012

August 7, 2026 1

Of all the recent musicians we have sadly lost in recent times, the tragic news of the passing of Raul Malo last year was one of the most gut-wrenching for me. He was only 60 years […]

Dirty Dozen: Monticule

October 2, 2016 0

Edinburgh born trio Monticule can’t really be pinned down but if you were to say ‘soulful-bluesy-country-rock’ you wouldn’t be wrong. Their unique style has drawn comparisons to the likes of The Black Keys and Alabama Shakes.

Album Reviews

The Byrds “Live At The Fillmore – February 1969” (Floating World Records, 2017)

June 1, 2017 1

Oh to have been there – February 7th and 8th 1969 at Bill Graham’s Fillmore West! The irony is that The Byrds were a warm up act on this occasion, a sound check for others including […]

Album Reviews

Benny Bleu “When I am a Fossil”

May 22, 2026 0
