The Wolff Sisters & The Last Cavalry “Cahoon Hollow” (Independent, 2018)

May 30, 2018 Jeremy Searle 0
There’s something of Australia’s Waifs about The Wolff Sisters. Both outfits take folk and Americana as a base and reinterpret  tropes, both make highly melodic, harmonic and listenable music, both are fronted by sisters (three in […]

‘Arrow,’ the second album from the Ciara O’Neill, a singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist from  Portadown, Northern Ireland really is quite a special record. There’s no doubting Ciara’s origins; her voice has that Celtic folk inflexion that […]

May 29, 2018 Paul Kerr 0
I don’t know if Brian Ferry’s ears were burning the other night but if so it was probably because he received several mentions from Robyn Hitchcock in his fantastical  and  extremely funny in between song patter […]

Chasen Wayne and the Honky Tonk Machine “The Diamond Saloon”

August 24, 2026 0
Wonderfully ambitious third album from Austin honky-tonker. Chasen Wayne is not a musician to do anything by halves. After releasing two well-received albums, his third is a bold and distinct mélange of country, psychedelia, surf punk, […]
