The Lowest Pair and Small Town Therapy “Horse Camp”

November 7, 2022 FredArnold 0

A slight musical detour from the last outing delivers an album of great beauty. The Lowest Pair (named after a John Hartford poem) are Kendl Winter and Palmer T. Lee, two dazzling banjo players and singer-songwriters […]

This Lonesome Paradise “Nightshades”

November 4, 2022 Cam Fraser 0

Dark shades of western noir, neck-high in reverb-drenched gothic twang. Since the release of their debut album, This Lonesome Paradise have relocated to Joshua Tree, CA. That move brought them to the attention of Pat Kearns […]

Book/Mixed Media Review – Li’l Andy “The Complete Recordings of Hezekiah Procter (1925 – 1930)”

November 4, 2022 Rick Bayles 0

Fascinating and ambitious project that shines a light on the roots of Old Time music and the start of commercial recording. We’ve had some really good multi-media projects come to us for review this year, and […]

Frank From Blue Velvet “Frank From Blue Velvet”

November 3, 2022 Lyndon Bolton 0

Bleak lyrics to a menacingly heavy roots sound. Frank From Blue Velvet sound as if they ply their trade deep in Appalachia so it comes as a surprise to learn they play the south coast pub […]

Lydia Ramsey “Like A Dream”

November 3, 2022 Jonathan Aird 0

Lydia Ramsey makes great music, again. On her third album Seattle’s Lydia Ramsey shows her mastery of the upbeat Americana song – with songs that are so catchy that one may at first not pick up […]

Live Review: Gillian Welch & David Rawlings, Guthrie Green, Tulsa, Oklahoma – 29th April 2026

May 7, 2026 0

There is something quietly compelling about seeing Gillian Welch and David Rawlings in a setting like Guthrie Green. Beneath a full moon hanging low in a cloudless and distinctly chilly Oklahoma sky, this free, open-air show, […]

Adam Donen “Bible Stories”

May 7, 2026 0

Tom Waits inspires industrial Gothic gospel blues. Now this is a strange one. Adam Donen is a multi-faceted artist; apparently, he “invents art forms, writes, directs and composes” Hmmmm. To be fair, to back this up, […]
