3hattrio “Lord Of The Desert” (Okehdokee Records, 2018)

February 26, 2018 Rick Bayles 0
Great music is often connected to the landscape it springs from and, listening to it, your imagination will immediately take you to that land. ‘Lord of the Desert’, from US folk group 3hattrio, immediately transports you […]

February 26, 2018 Martyn Ingham 0
It’s always a quandary when reviewing whether comparing your subject to other acts is a good thing or a bad thing. Sometimes you just end up listing a load of the artist’s obvious influences rather than […]
