Video Premiere: Old Spot “Tom Dooley”

April 23, 2026 Andrew Frolish 0
Old Spot’s latest single is a quietly absorbing reworking of the classic Tom Dooley. Rowan Piggott’s fiddle has a gently insistent rhythmic urgency, creating the foundation for the sweetly picked notes of Joe Danks’ banjo. The duo’s […]

Ringo Starr “Long Long Road”

April 22, 2026 Helen Jones 0
Another valiant effort that proves one of Liverpool’s most famous exports can fit in comfortably in Nashville. If you’re ex-Beatle Ringo Starr, it’s got to be tough to feel like you’re always living in the shadow […]
