Sammy Kay “civil/WAR” (Independent, 2019)

September 27, 2019 Jim Finnie 0
Sammy Kay has picked a stonking opening track for his new album ‘civil/War’. Straight from the off the gravelly-voiced New Jersey singer-songwriter grabs your attention with the superb ‘Silver Dollar’ and quickly backs it up with […]

Diesel Park West “Let it Melt” (Palo Santo Records, 2019)

September 27, 2019 Jeremy Searle 1

Don Gallardo feat. Lilly Winwood “In the Name of Good Intentions” (JTM Music, 2019)

Hoth Brothers “Workin’ and Dreamin’” (Independent, 2019)

September 26, 2019 Mark Nenadic 0
When you harness the old mountain sounds of roots music (banjo, fiddle, mandolin etc.), it better be underpinned by some really good songs, or have something really worthwhile to say. Otherwise your offerings are little more […]
