Daniel Wylie’s Cosmic Rough Riders “Scenery For Dreamers” (You Are The Cosmos, 2017)

April 19, 2017 Muff Fitzgerald 0
There’s a track on this fabulously rocking album that reminds me of the day I went round to Crusty Nick’s house to get my piercings done. Before you could say abracadabra, he’d installed an Apadravya and a Prince […]

Doug Schmude ‘’Ghosts Of The Main Drag’’ (Independent, 2017)

April 19, 2017 Nick Jarman 0

Arty Hill “Live: Church on Saturday Night” (Independent, 2017)

April 18, 2017 Rick Bayles 0
Oh yes, this’ll get the party started! If you like your Honk with a fair bit of Tonk – and vice versa – then Arty Hill’s new live album is going to be right up your gardenia […]

Tyne Darling “These Ghosts” (Hope Parade, 2017)

April 18, 2017 Michael Farley 0
Tyne Darling is not a real person but the musical and stage moniker for Tommy Vollman, a writer and artist and it appears the subject matter of a forthcoming book. The songs apparently are a companion […]

Interview: Willie Nile keeps the light on for great American rock’n’roll

Interview: Hal Cannon on cowboy poetry, songs and folklore

February 25, 2026 0
For Hal Cannon, life should be very simple – love the place you live, love the ones you know, if you’re needy, why not give, then see if you’re still low. Words to live by, extracted […]
