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

September 27, 2019 Jeremy Searle 1
Leicester’s Diesel Park West are one of rock’s great survivors. Their debut album ‘Shakespeare Alabama’ was rightly acclaimed then and now as a minor classic and even gave them a small whiff of commercial success, but […]

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

September 27, 2019 Peter Churchill 0

Will Beeley “Heartattacks & Highways” (Tompkins Square, 2019)

September 27, 2019 Emily Dongray 0
Texan trucker Will Beeley proffers his overdue follow up to his 1979 drifter ballad album. This album is as slow and considered as the big horizons and roads upon which it was written. Almost forty years […]

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 […]

The Blue Highways “He Worked EP” (Independent, 2019)

September 26, 2019 Guy Lincoln 0
Brothers in bands huh? Often fraught, sometimes fragile and rarely friendly. It can end badly but there is also the potential for genuine magic, which can seem harder for sibling-free groups to reach. The Blue Highways […]

Dirt Road Souls “(The Life and Times of) Johnny Moonshine”

May 19, 2026 0

More People Really Should Know About: Todd Day Wait
