Jaime Wyatt “Neon Cross” (New West, 2020)

September 11, 2020 Mark Nenadic 0

This record does seem to come with a fair amount of hype. One of those that ‘takes Americana to a different level’ pitches. The ‘new Queen of Outlaw Country’, so we’re told. Wyatt’s backstory jumps from […]

Will Johnson “El Capitan” (Keeled Scales, 2020)

September 11, 2020 Lyndon Bolton 0

Musician, writer and painter Will Johnson, one of Americana’s most prolific creative spirits, has released his seventh solo album, ‘El Capitan’. Stripped back hardly does justice to the sparseness of this recording. It is just him, […]

August 28, 2026 1

Well that’s it from us for this week, and what a sad week it’s been for not just the americana and country communities but for, well human decency. Plaudits can be cloying when someone moves on […]

Chris Murphy “Songs From the Trees”

August 28, 2026 0

A strong storytelling album, highlighted by good songs, exemplary playing and a fascinating soundscape. Chris Murphy was born into an Irish-Italian family in New York, growing up surrounded by a wide range of traditional music such […]
