Andrew Farriss “Andrew Farriss”

April 9, 2021 Alasdair Fotheringham 0

Clean-cut pop ditties laced with deftly produced, occasionally mawkish Americana. Memorably insipid. When the co-founder and primary songwriter of a band as famous as INXS makes an Americana album, it’s fairly predictable that even mainstream media […]

Francesca Brown “Live From Quarantine EP”

April 9, 2021 Tim Newby 0

EP highlights Brown’s polished vocals, while staying within the well-worn safety of a simple pop-country vein. California based singer-songwriter Francesca Brown’s latest offering is a six-song EP, ‘Live From the Quarantine’. As the name implies the […]

Aerial East “Try Harder”

April 9, 2021 Harold Hogan 0

Strange yet familiar, dreamlike yet tangible; a beautiful and intimate record. Aerial East’s ‘Try Harder‘ is a coming of age record about what it means to be a woman in America. At once strange and familiar, […]

Amanda Cook “Narrowing The Gap”

April 8, 2021 Jim Finnie 0

As good a piece of modern bluegrass as you’re ever likely to find. Bluegrass albums can elicit mixed responses on AUK with some holding the view that they shouldn’t be included in an Americana genre, which […]

Morgan Wade “Reckless”

April 8, 2021 Martin Johnson 0

Indie country with a mainstream rock’n’roll and pop attitude. This is an interesting album for americana fans, and not necessarily for all the obvious reasons. While Morgan Wade is only 26 and ‘Reckless’ is her debut […]

Hurray for the Riff Raff - Alynda Segarra 3rd May 2014

Essentials: The Top 10 Hurray For The Riff Raff Songs

April 23, 2026 0

In a nod to Woody Guthrie, a 2014 American Songwriter magazine cover featured Hurray For The Riff Raff with the strapline, “Bound for Glory”. I’m not sure how the author of that article defined glory, yet […]

José González “Against The Dying Of The Light”

April 23, 2026 0

first thoughts José González is a Swedish indie-folk singer – with, naturally, the usual background in hardcore punk influenced by Black Flag and choral singing – Against The Dying Of The Light is his fifth album, […]

April 23, 2026 0

At age 82, Charlie Musselwhite continues to put out relevant and meaningful albums. Sweet. While his body of work may not conjure memories for some of our younger readers, it’s great to see him continuing his […]

Interview: Dale Watson on “Unwanted” and the zen of pure country

April 21, 2026 0

Dale Watson figured it out. He figured out what’s wrong with our disconnected, polarised era. He figured out why we’re caught in a death spiral of social media outrage, intractable positions, and argument instead of dialogue. […]

Interviews

Interview: Joshua Radin

March 4, 2020 0

Joshua Radin is described by AllMusic as “a yearning singer/songwriter with a gentle sound steeped in the acoustic folk tradition” which is probably as good a description as you’re going to get of him. If you’ve […]

Brown Horse “Total Dive”

March 26, 2026 0

Another stellar offering from a band with a burgeoning reputation. Norfolk’s Brown Horse is a band that is nothing if not prolific. Total Dive is the band’s third album in as many years. That productivity probably […]
