Luther Black And The Cold Hard Facts “Let The Light Back In”

May 7, 2024 Rick Thorn 0
Perceptive observations from a seasoned traveller. Luther Black is the alter ego of multi-instrumentalist and vocalist Rick Wagner. ‘Let in The Light’ is the ensemble’s third release. Interestingly he chooses to open it with a cover […]

Peter Deaves “Ceol Agus Grá”

Chris Smither “All About the Bones”

May 3, 2024 FredArnold 0
A rather stunning album from this soon-to-be octogenarian, his songwriting and playing talents as yet undimmed. You might be inclined to overlook Chris Smither when the names of the great singer-songwriters of the last fifty years […]

The Texas Headhunters “Rise and Shine”

October 9, 2026 0
A heads-down, no-nonsense, sprightly mess of blues. The Texas Headhunters are a three-headed guitar Methuselah consisting of Jesse Dayton, Ian Moore, and Johnny Moeller; coming from road-hardened backgrounds playing in clubs and bars, the outcome is […]

There are a lot worse ways to start the week than with the new single from Treetop Flyers from their eponymous new album, out on August 24th.  A wonderful retro-tinged West Coast Americana song, it’ll improve […]

Rock Island Line 65th Anniversary, Cadogan Hall, London, 13th July 2019

July 24, 2019 0
There’s no real reason why in the mid-1950s a form of music already more or less forgotten in its homeland should have got a revival in the UK. Yet the short-lived Skiffle craze – a wild […]
