AmericanA to Z – Sam Quinn

Had it not been for The Felice Brothers headlining the Rhythm n’ Blooms festival in Knoxville, Tennessee back in 2014 , I would never have found my way to the indie-Americana goodness that is Sam Quinn. […]

Rich Hopkins and Luminarios “Back to the Garden” (Blue Rose, 2019)

June 5, 2019 Linda Jameson 0
Rich Hopkins and Luminarios latest release ‘Back to the Garden’ is definitely full of guitars. From acoustic to jangly backing to soaring electric solos, there are guitars aplenty. What results is a big sound for the […]

The Get Ahead “Deepest Light” (Jullian Records, 2019)

May 29, 2019 Linda Jameson 0
The ‘Deepest Light’ from Portland-based quintet The Get Ahead, is a difficult album to categorise. Embracing the sounds of americana by way of some floaty ’70s disco rock: songs catch you unawares. Not overly disconcerting, it […]

Izzy Heltai “Only Yesterday” (Sleeper Cave Records, 2019)

May 1, 2019 Linda Jameson 0
Izzy Heltai is an indie-folk, singer-songwriter from Northampton, Massachusetts. His new four-track EP ‘Only Yesterday’ tells tales of love and loss that perhaps belie his 22 years. Arrangements on this record are deliberately simple with layering […]

Darlingside “Look Up & Fly Away” (More Doug/Thirty Tigers, 2019)

April 9, 2019 Linda Jameson 0
Darlingside’s latest release is an EP of outtakes from 2018’s ‘Extralife.’ It’s fair to say though that any of the songs on ‘Look Up & Fly Away’ would have been well-deserving of a place on that album. […]

Something for the long weekend: Dolly Parton “Here I Am”

August 28, 2026 1
Well that’s it from us for this week, and what a sad week it’s been for not just the americana and country communities but for, well human decency. Plaudits can be cloying when someone moves on […]

A strong storytelling album, highlighted by good songs, exemplary playing and a fascinating soundscape. Chris Murphy was born into an Irish-Italian family in New York, growing up surrounded by a wide range of traditional music such […]

Interview: Nora Kelly holds space for the quirky in outlaw country music

August 24, 2026 1
It’s always the ride and not necessarily the destination that makes a trip through a Nora Kelly Band album worthwhile. The songs can be zany, intriguing and melancholic all at once, cavorting to their own primal […]
