Jared Deck “Bully Pulpit” (Continental Blue Heaven, 2019)

October 7, 2019 Tim Merricks 0

Not many tracks are under the belt before you start to get a good feeling about Jared Deck. He sounds familiar, but that’s because we’re familiar with great music. He sounds a little hard-bitten, until the […]

Wilco, Albert Hall, Manchester, 27th September 2019

October 7, 2019 Clint West 2

The Orphan Brigade “To The Edge Of The World” (Independent, 2019)

October 4, 2019 Mark Johnson 1

The Orphan Brigade make location albums. The first in a haunted Kentucky mansion, the second in medieval Italian caves. Now comes the third, written and recorded on the wild Co. Antrim coast in Northern Ireland. This […]

The Wolff Sisters “Queendom of Nothing” (Independent, 2019)

October 4, 2019 Sean Hannam 0

From listening to ‘Queendom of Nothing’, the third full-length album from Boston’s The Wolff Sisters, you get the impression that they’re a restless bunch. On the opening song, the moody and twangy country-rock of ‘Drive’, they’re […]

Those sufficiently long in the tooth may remember Margaret Thatcher’s purported praise of senior Conservative Party politician William Whitelaw: “Every prime minister needs a Willie”. For americana enthusiasts, their Willy could well be a Vlautin, songwriter […]
