April 30, 2018 Tim Merricks 0
Toronto’s David Celia has seen it all touring extensively across Europe and North America in promotion of his latest album ‘Double Mind‘, so he’s picked up a trick or two along the way. Tonight’s turnout on […]

Okkervil River “In the Rainbow Rain” (ATO Records, 2018)

April 27, 2018 Rick Bayles 1
Chances are you’re not going to hear too many albums this year that open with a track about a surgical procedure! In fact, you probably won’t hear too many albums this year that sound quite like […]

Horse Feathers “Appreciation” (Kill Rock Stars, 2018)

April 26, 2018 Peter Churchill 0
Made in Kentucky but with nods to Wigan. Now that is a strange thought on which to begin any review but for this, their 6th album, Horse Feathers have built upon the guitars, strings and keyboards that […]

Great Peacock “Gran Pavo Real” (Ropeadope, 2018)

April 25, 2018 Alan O'Hare 0
Jason Isbell and Dave Cobb may well be redefining ‘The Nashville Sound’, but Great Peacock aren’t paying any attention. “I’m a rolling stone, I can’t sit still,” sings lead singer and guitarist Andrew Nelson, on the […]

Old Crow Medicine Show “Volunteer” (Columbia Nashville, 2018)

April 24, 2018 Alan O'Hare 0
‘A World Away’ bursts out of the speakers sounding like another time and another place and all seems right in the world. Well, wrong, as it’s a refugee song… but you know what I mean. Old […]

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

As an animal lover and caretaker of horses, dogs and cats, the latest album from Canadian singer-songwriter Matt Patershuk certainly caught my attention. Dog Tiger Horses on Red Hen Records (2025) is green as grass, country-folk […]
