Courtney Marie Andrews, Islington Assembly Hall, 24th April 2018

The last time Courtney Marie Andrews played London was September last year when she was riding high after her appearance on Later with Jools Holland, selling out two nights at Bush Hall.  I attended and reviewed […]

Gerry Spehar “Anger Management” (Independent, 2018)

May 1, 2018 Michael Farley 0
Despite the title of this excellent record Gerry Spehar is clearly a very angry man, the subject of his ire being mainly about a certain US President. However, this is not a one dimensional piece but […]

The Lowest Pair, The Green Note, Camden London, 22nd April 2018

May 1, 2018 David Allen 0
With the feel of a 1960’s coffee shop music parlour, the Green Note in Camden is surely one of the shining jewels in London’s musical crown. Priding itself on the intimacy between artiste and audience and […]

The Good Morning Nags “The Good Morning Nags EP” (Independent 2018)

April 30, 2018 Paul Kerr 0
A six piece “country folk” band from New York City, The Good Morning Nags have honed their skills over the past couple of years busking in the Big Apple with Central Park, Greenwich village and various […]

Lucky Bones “Matchstick Men” (Lucky Bones Promotions, 2018)

April 30, 2018 Steven Howlett 0
It is puzzling why one band can ‘make it’ while others continually fly below the radar. And so it is with Lucky Bones. They are the kind of band that take to a festival stage late […]

Video Interview: Rodney Crowell on why “Then Again” is better late than never

Essentials: The Top 10 Lucinda Williams Ballads

July 2, 2026 0
It would be strange to start things off by actually introducing Lucinda Williams, so let’s begin with a justification instead: Williams has been at it since her 1979 debut Ramblin’ Woman, though she only truly broke […]

Adam Beattie “Home Fires Burning”

July 2, 2026 0
The hero’s journey echoed in the experiences of an everyman. It might be an exaggeration to say there are as many types of songwriters as there are songwriters, but then again, it might not. As well […]

Sound of the Sirens “For All Our Sins” (Independent, 2017)

May 31, 2017 0
The press release for the debut album from Exeter-based duo Sound of the Sirens paints a rather misleading picture of an (incredibly English) take on Americana. To suggest there is any parallel to be drawn between […]
