Sterling Drake “The Shape I’m In”

May 21, 2025 Darren Lumbroso 0
Excellent debut album from a young, roving troubadour with one foot in the country and one in the town. Sterling Drake is certainly an interesting character. He’s yet to turn 30 years old, but he has […]

Charles Ellsworth “Cosmic Cannon Fodder”

Ben Joseph and the Lay Lows “The Burns”

May 20, 2025 Andy Davidson 0
Fire retardant tracks. The PR describes this album as “A fiery exploration of love’s many flames“. Ben Joseph’s pedigree sounds good on paper. An Alabama native, now residing in London, having travelled via New Orleans and […]
