May 14, 2021 Russell Murphy 0
A little disjointed and a feeling of incompleteness. Hailing from Minneapolis – in the spotlight for all the wrong reasons recently – Soo Line Loons have produced as their eponymous album what can most definitely be […]

Mare Wakefield & Nomad “No Remedy”

May 13, 2021 Alan Fitter 0
Songs about family, friends, love and friendship shine throughout the duo’s third album. There’s a lot of nostalgia in Mare Wakefield & Nomad’s third album ‘No Remedy’ with songs about Mare’s father ‘Your Dad’, her mother […]

Steve Grozier “All That’s Been Lost”

May 13, 2021 Tim Martin 0
A talent realised with a set of songs that demand repeated playing. The distant pedal steel that opens ‘Twenty-Third Street’, the first song on ‘All That’s Been Lost’ drops you instantly in the prairie, but it’s […]

Shay Martin Lovette “Scatter & Gather”

May 12, 2021 Ewan Lury 0

Live Review: Leah Blevins, Rough Trade, Denmark Street, London – 26th June 2026

Ryan Bingham and The Texas Gentlemen “They Call Us The Lucky Ones”
