Dawn Brothers “Cry Alone”

April 17, 2025 Peter Thompson 0
A solid seventh LP from Rotterdam’s Dawn Brothers; it’s well worth a listen, particularly if your tastes extend to the rockier end of americana. While there are number of Dutch rock and pop acts that have […]

The Waterboys “Life, Death Dennis Hopper”

April 16, 2025 Guy Lincoln 1

April 16, 2025 Andy Short 0

Liz Longley “New Life”

April 15, 2025 FredArnold 0
Liz Longley leaves sad songs behind to reflect on the concerns and wonderment of marriage and parenthood. When you think of female singers with the most immaculate voices, and perfect pitch, you would probably come up […]

Interview: Hal Cannon on cowboy poetry, songs and folklore

For Hal Cannon, life should be very simple – love the place you live, love the ones you know, if you’re needy, why not give, then see if you’re still low. Words to live by, extracted […]

February 23, 2026 0
Experiencing a rebirth with Algebra for Broken Hearts, the St. Paul, Minnesota band’s twelfth album on Julian Records (2025), is crucial language, one voicing an undersung American existence. Like the novel, I Cheerfully Refuse by Leif […]
