August 28, 2020 Viv Fish 0

The migration of people of Oklahoma, ‘the Okies’, to California from the mid-’30s to the mid-’50s, stirred by the Dust Bowl era, is a huge part of American history captured in the award-winning Steinbeck novel ‘The […]

Grain Thief “Gasoline” (Independent, 2020)

August 27, 2020 Tim Newby 0

It is a pretty great time for bluegrass right now, as a number of younger bands who have been clearly schooled in the traditions of the music, but who have also been raised with interests that […]

Shane Casey “Silver Star” (Independent, 2020)

August 27, 2020 Keith Hargreaves 0

Opening with ‘Oh Father’ Casey’s arresting but ultimately disappointing album goes big on page one. Melancholic lyricism, swooping guitar solos over a frame of a handpicked acoustic guitar. It’s all loud, quiet, loud, quiet and we […]

Gillian Welch “Boots No. 2: The Lost Songs, Vol.1” (Acony Records, 2020)

August 26, 2020 Paul Kerr 1

Lockdown seems to have spurred Gillian Welch into action. Hardly a prolific artist, this latest disc comes hot on the heels of her covers album, ‘All The Good Times’, and a further two volumes of so-called […]
