September 23, 2019 Alan Fitter 0

If you listen to Harvey Russell’s new album ‘Liquid Damage’ on SoundCloud, then there are three hashtags: #Americana (we’ll come back to that), #honkytonk (lots of that on the album) and #alt-country. Well this album shouldn’t really […]

Jason Tyler Burton “Kentuckian” (Independent 2019)

September 20, 2019 Keith Hargreaves 0

Kentuckian is a straight down the middle Americana roots album full of all the delights of the genre. Some stirring playing, acoustic rhythms and rhymes, some keening harmonies, strong blue-collar songwriting all topped off by Tyler […]

September 20, 2019 Viv Fish 0

What a stunner! The opening track to this new album is powerful, pure, alluring and thought-provoking. The first note of the a capella voices will bring you to a standstill, and you will have to stop […]

Old-time country with dark and passionate words given a modern update with electronica. Owen Lake is the alter ego of Jeff Snyder, Director of Electronic Music at Princeton, and Bury Deep My Heart is his second […]

Album artwork for Andrew Farriss' album The Prospector

Andrew Farriss “The Prospector”

July 22, 2026 0

Disappointing second album from former INXS legend-turned country strummer. Best known as the keyboard player for INXS, Andrew Fariss has been quietly carving out an Australiana solo career away from the spotlight and the stadiums played […]
