Son Volt “Union” (Transmit Sound, 2019)

April 11, 2019 Paul Kerr 0
While Jay Farrar might be considered as being pretty grounded when it comes to singing about familiar folk themes he’s never been a political writer. On ‘Union’ that changes as he here turns to topical concerns, […]

Brad Byrd “Phases” (Elusive Tiger, 2019)

April 10, 2019 Harold Hogan 0
This latest sonic offering from the journeyman songsmith Brad Byrd is somewhat middle of the road in places, but has charm, and moments of soaring brilliance. Describing his music as somewhere between indie-rock and alt-country, California […]

Fabrizio Cammarata “Lights” (800A Records, 2019)

April 10, 2019 Tim Merricks 0
Fabrizio Cammarata, from Palermo, Sicily is not a well-known name on the UK circuit. It’s an outdated inequity that our continental neighbours are not given the attention here that our American cousins enjoy when it comes […]

If you were a fan of Feathered Mason’s 2017 release ‘Mary’s Kitchen Sessions,’ you will find something to like in his most recent offering. Whether you like it more or less will speak to your preference in […]

Darlingside “Look Up & Fly Away” (More Doug/Thirty Tigers, 2019)

April 9, 2019 Linda Jameson 0
Darlingside’s latest release is an EP of outtakes from 2018’s ‘Extralife.’ It’s fair to say though that any of the songs on ‘Look Up & Fly Away’ would have been well-deserving of a place on that album. […]

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

May 19, 2026 0
A small-town song cycle energetically conveyed as a country-rock parable. A bar band! A concept album! A rock opera! These are descriptions that might send some running for the nearest bottle of Jack Daniel’s, but wait, […]
