May 31, 2019 Harold Hogan 0

A Starving Viking is the stage name of singer-songwriter Matt Jarrett. A New York state native, he has spent a career in New York City working as a filmmaker and editor. A late-comer to folk music, […]

Ordinary Elephant “Honest” (Independent, 2019)

May 30, 2019 Tim Merricks 0

One thing that should be made clear from the outset about ‘Honest’ is that there is not a weak track on the album. This is only partly down to the strength of the material – a […]

Who? What? Where? Why? & Werewolves “Greatest Hits” (Independent, 2019)

May 30, 2019 Mark Nenadic 0

Indie bluegrass from Philadelphia? Complicated moniker? Super ironic album title? Hipster alert senses are tingling with this reviewer. However, let’s not judge a book by its cover. These guys (Andrew Fullerton and Matt Orlando) were formerly […]

The Get Ahead “Deepest Light” (Jullian Records, 2019)

May 29, 2019 Linda Jameson 0

The ‘Deepest Light’ from Portland-based quintet The Get Ahead, is a difficult album to categorise. Embracing the sounds of americana by way of some floaty ’70s disco rock: songs catch you unawares. Not overly disconcerting, it […]

Frankie Lee “Stillwater” (Loose Records, 2019)

May 28, 2019 Louie Joe 1

Frankie Lee knows a thing or two about hypnotizing his listeners. For good reason, the Minnesota born and raised singer-songwriter has spent his younger years in the wide open Midwest, where time barely leaves a mark […]

Something for the weekend: Keyside “Lemon and Lime”

May 15, 2026 1

Well that’s it from us for this week, and bear with me dear reader with the track we’re leaving you with for the weekend which despite starting off sounding like we’ve veered into covering 90s-era Britpop, […]

Cowboy Junkies “Open to Beauty”

May 15, 2026 0

Americana legends celebrate 21st-century releases on latest career retrospective. Forty years in, the Cowboy Junkies remain one of the great under-the-surface bands in Americana: despite having a million-selling classic to their name, they rarely make best-of […]
