Leeroy Stagger “Strange Path” (True North Records, 2019)

September 18, 2019 Sean Hannam 0
‘Strange Path’, the new record from Canadian, alt-country singer-songwriter Leeroy Stagger, certainly lives up to its title – it’s an album that frequently veers off into unfamiliar territory – electro-glam-rock, anyone? – but, sadly, it also […]

Ryan Traster “Choses Obscures” (Independent, 2019)

September 18, 2019 Mark Nenadic 0
Minneapolis based Ryan Traster plies his trade with a super laid back, woozy, indie, country-pop sound. On ‘Choses Obscures’ (French for ‘unusual things’) you can hear the ghost of Tom Petty nodding sagely as the tunes […]

September 17, 2019 Steven Rafferty 0
It takes a keen eye to spot the profound wrapped up inside the everyday. Darrin Bradbury has a very keen eye and he puts it to good use. Others have drawn comparisons between Bradbury’s songwriting and […]

Karine Polwart “Karine Polwart’s Scottish Songbook” (Independent, 2019)

September 17, 2019 Keith Hargreaves 0
From the opening crystal clear repeated note pattern, this album sets about the whole notion of a covers album with a fresh and distinctive voice. This is original and stirring stuff. ‘The Whole of the Moon’ […]

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 […]
