J.W. Schuller “No Mud In Joyville” (Independent, 2018)

Bill Bloomer “Jubilee” (Independent, 2018)

March 6, 2018 Rick Bayles 0
This might be one of those “marmite” albums – one to polarise opinion. Bill Bloomer hails from Illinois, though it would seem he spends much of his time globe-trotting and playing in various bars and small […]

Mike Gale “Beachhead Galaxy” (Farm Music, 2018)

March 5, 2018 Linda Jameson 0
‘Beachhead Galaxy’ is the latest solo album from Mike Gale (Co-Pilgrim).  It’s a dreamy, ethereal sounding piece which is fitting for the subject matter. Set in space, in the year 2412 where harmony across all lifeforms […]

The Stephen Stanley Band “Jimmy & The Moon” (Wolfe Island Records, 2017)

March 5, 2018 David Cowling 1
Most people wilfully misremember the 1980’s – they selectively associate the decade with musical excesses with 12” extended mixes of new romantic and electro-pop music. Parallel to this were a myriad of other things, one of […]

June 24, 2026 1
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 […]
