Richard Warren “Disentangled” (Hudson, 2017)

December 6, 2017 Mark Nenadic 0
Those of you familiar with Richard Warren’s previous solo records will know what to expect from this fourth album – Disentangled.  You won’t be disappointed either. Sounding like a stoner/psychedelic happening featuring Duane Eddy on guitar and […]

Blitzen Trapper “Wild And Reckless” (Lojinx, 2017)

December 5, 2017 David Cowling 0
The thing which saved Blitzen Trapper from being run of the mill was their embracing of risk: they can be joyous and frustrating, and on this record they are no different, only, in common with their […]

James Summerfield “Doubt” (Say AARGH Records, 2018)

December 5, 2017 Jeremy Searle 0
Birmingham man James Summerfield’s sixth album both conforms to and belies its title. Conformity comes from the earlier songs, where he explores and, I fear, chronicles from personal experience, struggles with mental health. But as things […]

The Wailin’ Jennys “Fifteen” (True North Records,2017)

December 4, 2017 Jonathan Aird 0
Six years after their last album The Wailin’ Jennys (Nicky Mehta, Ruth Moody, & Heather Masse) reconvened for a five day recording session. The title? Well – it’s fifteen years since the original trio (Carla Luft […]

Martin Rὅssel. “Don’t Blame Me” (Erik Alx Sund Records, 2017)

December 4, 2017 Paul Kerr 0
For an album that’s been ten years in the making, Sweden’s Martin Rὅssel’s Don’t Blame Me turns out to be a relatively taut affair. Turns out that Rὅssel is an in demand producer in Sweden and […]

Todd Albright “Blues for Dexter Linwood”

May 1, 2026 0
Authentic pre-war country blues played by an acclaimed 12-string master. This is Albright’s fourth album of acoustic country blues, played finger-picked style on a 12-string guitar. An acknowledged master of this style of playing, Albright doesn’t […]
