Paul Messinger “America 2.0 – Assorted Tales and The New Myth” (Independent 2017)

August 18, 2017 Keith Hargreaves 0

America 2.0 is an extraordinary album that attempts to examine the very concept of what America is in the Trump era and what it means to be part of the great American melting pot. It is […]

Pierce Edens “Stripped Down, Gussied Up” (Independent, 2017)

August 17, 2017 Mark Nenadic 0

Hailing from North Carolina, Pierce Edens’s stock in trade is a folksy grunge. Musically speaking it’s played very well by Edens along with sidekick Kevin Reese – the songs are suitably dark and foreboding. Vocally speaking, […]

Tracey Nelson/Mother Earth “Poor Man’s Paradise” (Floating World, 2017)

August 17, 2017 Keith Hargreaves 0

This is a re-release of an album which was originally lost in 1973 during one of the regular record business personnel purges that take place as companies buy others out and personal grudges muddy the waters of […]

Miranda Lee Richards “Existential Beast” (Invisible Hands Music, 2017)

August 16, 2017 Jonathan Aird 0

One thing that is certain, Miranda Lee Richards has created in Existential Beast an album of some astonishing beauty. Profound of lyrics, gorgeous in the playing, sung with a voice which embodies an unearthly allure. Every […]

Something for the weekend: Keyside “Lemon and Lime”

May 15, 2026 0

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”
