December 5, 2017 Jeremy Searle 0
Birmingham man James Summerfield’s sixth album both conforms to and belies its title. Conformity comes from the earlier songs, where he explores and, I fear, chronicles from personal experience, struggles with mental health. But as things […]

The Wailin’ Jennys “Fifteen” (True North Records,2017)

December 4, 2017 Jonathan Aird 0
Six years after their last album The Wailin’ Jennys (Nicky Mehta, Ruth Moody, & Heather Masse) reconvened for a five day recording session. The title? Well – it’s fifteen years since the original trio (Carla Luft […]

Martin Rὅssel. “Don’t Blame Me” (Erik Alx Sund Records, 2017)

Christmas comes but once a year and for the country community it’s the perfect excuse to drip an extra tear into the beer and mourn another year of lost love and lonely hearts. 13 Days Of […]
