Matthew James Lyons “Relics”

March 18, 2021 Diccon Johnston 0
Reflective melodies from a modest and gentle Australian songwriter. Matthew James Lyons, or Matt as he introduces himself, comes across as a thoroughly decent and self-deprecating bloke. Couple this with the fact you can count on […]

Willie Nelson “That’s Life”

March 17, 2021 Kimberly Bright 0
Nelson’s second Sinatra tribute is affectionate and authentic. ‘That’s Life’ is Willie Nelson’s second Frank Sinatra tribute album, following up on ‘My Way’ from 2018. The cover art is an atmospheric take on Sinatra’s moody 1955 […]

A very solid, lively return from the shadows for Edie Brickell. It was Edie Brickell’s 55th birthday recently, so ‘Hunter And The Dog,’ her latest release with the New Bohemians, comes in quite timely. After a […]

The Fargo Railroad Co. “IV”

Sheffield band’s new album is one of grit and struggle, with flashes of cynical humour, performed on a musically tight backdrop. IV is an album which deals with themes of being stuck, nostalgia, regret and also […]
