Jeffrey Martin “One Go Around” (Fluff & Gravy Records, 2017)

November 27, 2017 David Cowling 0

What saves Jeffrey Martin from the pile of identikit singer-songwriters, the troubled troubadours, are his lyrics and his storytelling. He doesn’t stretch too far; he tells of the dreams and the frustrations of working-class life, in […]

Joana Serrat “Dripping Springs” (Loose, 2017)

November 24, 2017 David Cowling 0

This is one of those records that sounds so lush and wonderful that you think that listening to it on repeat would begin to erode its charms. Well, take it from me: repeated listens only serve […]

Gun Outfit “Out of Range” (Paradise of Bachelors, 2017)

November 23, 2017 David Cowling 0

Can’t Live With It, Can’t Live Without It: Matraca Berg

July 29, 2026 0

Yes I know I am picking two albums from a catalogue of only 8, two of which are compilations and one that was never released. For some reason the label didn’t like it, though two of […]

Gary Marks “Sky High” – How could water catch fire?

July 29, 2026 0

This new song is a relatively old song; it comes from Gary Marks’ unreleased album A Whisper Can Change The World, recorded in 2007. So, why unreleased? Gary Marks had started out on his singer-songwriter path […]
