The Haden Triplets “The Family Songbook” (Trimeter Records/Thirty Tigers, 2020)

February 11, 2020 Guy Lincoln 0

The Hanging Stars “A New Kind Of Sky” (Crimson Crow, 2020)

February 10, 2020 Paul Kerr 1

The Hanging Stars have always had the “cosmic Americana” tag hung around their necks but on ‘A New Kind Of Sky‘, their third release, they fully deserve to be so called as they wander wonderfully in […]

Fierce Flowers “Mirador” (Celebration Days Records, 2019)

February 10, 2020 Diccon Johnston 0

A mirador classically offers an extensive outlook, which is undoubtedly consistent with the breadth of music produced by this trio from Paris. They have encompassed everything from European folk to Appalachian bluegrass. Many different musical references […]

Pond Diver “Flashbacks EP” (Independent, 2020)

February 10, 2020 Keith Hargreaves 0

Well, well, well, just occasionally something floats into the inbox that holds the attention and makes the misery of the post-Brexit world disappear into the ether. Pond Diver ( name needs work I respectfully suggest) are […]

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, […]
