AUK’s Chain Gang: Vera Lynn “Try A Little Kindness”

St. Catherine’s Child “Every Generation”

June 12, 2023 Jonathan Aird 0
Grief and loss and failed relationships – and maybe a glimmer of optimism half-hidden from sight? St Catherine’s Child is the project of  Ilana Zsigmond, who was born in England but mostly raised in Conneticut.  ‘Every […]

Interview: Michael Timmins on “More Acoustic Junk”, Cowboy Junkies and, well… other Mike stuff

A few months ago, we got an album of more (acoustic) junk from the Junkies. Okay, that is a horrible image. Better start over. Michael Timmins, along with siblings Margo and Peter, and Alan Anton, the […]

AmericanA to Z: John Cougar Mellencamp

May 20, 2020 2
This A-Z  is taking a small liberty. For ‘C’  we are looking at, and appreciating, the transformation of John Cougar Mellencamp from AOR-radio-friendly hit seeking pop-rocker, to gritty roots activist. Somewhere in the early to mid-1980s […]
