Jesse Malin “Sunset Kids” (Wicked Cool Records, 2019)

October 8, 2019 Steven Howlett 1
Next time you feel the need to reach for a ‘what-you-see-is-what-you-get does-exactly-what-is-says-on-the-tin’ record you could, in all honesty not do a lot better than Jesse Malin’s new album ‘Sunset Kids’. Don’t come knocking if you want […]

October 7, 2019 Jim Finnie 0
It’s a well-worn path.  Artist runs out of ideas and decides to re-hash some old material and produces an album that is at best mediocre and at worst downright boring.  Not in this case though, it’s […]

Jared Deck “Bully Pulpit” (Continental Blue Heaven, 2019)

October 7, 2019 Tim Merricks 0
Not many tracks are under the belt before you start to get a good feeling about Jared Deck. He sounds familiar, but that’s because we’re familiar with great music. He sounds a little hard-bitten, until the […]
