Album Reviews

Jon Boden and The Remnant Kings “Rose In June” (Hudson Records, 2019)

November 5, 2019 Elise Kennedy 0
Ed Dupas’s third album truly merits the definition of a self-reflective LP. Across its eleven tracks you can clearly hear a more personal edge on ‘The Lonesome Side of Town’ with a slightly rockier take than perhaps […]
