Don McLean “Botanical Gardens” (BMG, 2018)

March 27, 2018 Peter Churchill 0

Tar and Flowers “Indian Summer” (Independent, 2018)

March 27, 2018 Mark Nenadic 0
A debut record from the greener, non-plastic reaches of greater Los Angeles. Principally it’s the musical labours of Taylor Hungerford, assisted by French born sidekick Wolf Kroeger. Between them, they’ve cooked up something quite noteworthy. Hungerford’s […]

March 27, 2018 Dave Jennings 0
Painful, searing lyrics, darkness so bleak you feel you’ll never find a way out, but then laugh out loud moments that are life-affirming in their intensity. Such are the contradictions in this offering, as rich and […]

Kim Richey “Edgeland” (Yep Roc Records, 2018)

March 26, 2018 Denis Parkinson 1
‘Edgeland’ is the new album from Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter Kim Richey. There has been a five year wait for this and it has been worth it. Recorded in Nashville and produced by Brad Jones, it’s a collaborative album […]

Juana Everett “Past Lives in California”

Jimmy LaFave “Peacetown” (Music Road Records, 2018)

July 30, 2018 0
