Uncle Sinner “Trouble Of The World” (Independent, 2020)

June 4, 2020 Alan Fitter 0

Evan Myall “Evan Myall” (Royal Okie Records 2020)

June 3, 2020 Keith Hargreaves 0
There’s no getting away from the influences that hang over this record. Opening track ‘Supernatural’ is ‘Dear Prudence’ with added Oasis strings but is a jaunty chamber pop song nonetheless. And it serves as a perfect introduction […]
