Album Reviews

Eliza Gilkyson “Secularia” (Red House Records, 2018)

October 16, 2018 MD Spenser 0
This might be the album that America needs to hear now more than any other. Musically, it is gorgeous folk/americana enhanced by a stellar cast of supporting musicians. Lyrically, it is by turns meditative, moving, uplifting […]

Philippe Bronchtein “Me and the Moon” (Independent, 2018)

October 16, 2018 Dave Clarke 0
Philippe Bronchtein comes from Madison, in Nashville, Tennessee. This is his fourth full length album, but the first under his real name; before this, he was Hip Hatchet. Check out the track, ‘Sun Can’t Walk’ from […]

Tom Petty “An American Treasure – 4CD Deluxe” (Reprise Records, 2018)

October 15, 2018 Jonathan Aird 2
So what am I supposed to tell you about Tom Petty that you’re not already aware of? And what is the point of this compilation to an Americana music fan who already has all the albums? […]
Album Reviews

Stills & Collins “Everybody Knows” (Cleopatra Records, 2018)

October 15, 2018 Rick Bayles 0
Sometimes you can be genuinely surprised by an album for any number of reasons. In this case, it’s the surprise of seeing these two artists recording together in 2018. There’s no obvious reason why they shouldn’t […]

Murphykid “Skeletons” (Murphykid Records, 2018)

October 15, 2018 Paul Kerr 0
There’s a rather sweet tale behind this album which involves Al Murphy, AKA Murphykid, retreating, wounded following a broke down love affair, to a garden shed in order to pour his heart out to an eight-track […]

Joshua Burnside “It’s Not Going To Be Okay”

April 24, 2026 0
A searing display of grief through ten bare songs. How we all cope with grief is complex and individual, though the ability of energising one’s sadness through music is a powerful and positive one. Belfast’s Joshua […]

Interview: Dale Watson on “Unwanted” and the zen of pure country

April 21, 2026 0

Coyote Motel “The River: A Songwriter’s Stories of the South”

June 4, 2025 0
The new album from Ted Drozdowski and Coyote Motel is a tour de force, showcasing their cosmic roots. Psychedelic isn’t a word usually associated with americana, which mostly gets terms such as country, folk, bluegrass, blues, […]
