Humbletown “The Path I Chose to Walk”

March 3, 2023 Lyndon Bolton 0
Living life to the full through a masterful blend of folk, bluegrass and old-time country. The first impression on listening to these songs around virtuosos on clawhammer banjo and flat-picking guitar is that this entire collection […]

The Mother Hips “When We Disappear”

March 3, 2023 Kimberly Bright 0
Over thirty years into their career, The Mother Hips’ new album is adventurous, restless, and rock-influenced. The Mother Hips have been creating cosmic country rock-infused power pop for three decades, with one mid-career hiatus that is […]

Whitehorse “I’m Not Crying, You’re Crying”

March 2, 2023 Ljubinko Zivkovic 0
On ‘Im Not Crying, You’re Crying,’ Whitehorse show how complex Americana/Canadiana music can be. Whitehorse, or the Canadian duo comprising Melissa McClelland and Luke Doucet, are no newcomers to Americana, or Canadiana (the same thing?) since […]

Meg Baird “Furling”

March 2, 2023 Jonathan Aird 0
Travelling beyond the ghosts of previous bands. Meg Baird will, of course, always be associated with Espers – and that’s nothing to be ashamed of or to regret.  They towered over the psych-folk revival of the […]

The Vagaband “Beautiful World”

March 1, 2023 Andy Davidson 0

Big Harp “Runs to Blue”

March 30, 2026 0
Los Angeles-based Big Harp duo relaunch with plainspoken album after ten-year hiatus. Farmland and ranches make up close on 90% of Nebraska’s land area. Not the likeliest place to find a thriving indie music hub, perhaps; […]

For the Sake of the Song: Jefferson Airplane “Comin’ Back to Me”

March 30, 2026 0
If I were to casually name-drop Jefferson Airplane’s Surrealistic Pillow (1967), you might find yourself thinking about Grace Slick’s voice bellowing through Somebody to Love, or the rolling-drum acid-trip stylings of White Rabbit. God knows those […]
