Andrew Combs isn’t someone who can be accused of sticking to a tried and tested formula in an attempt to court popularity. Quite the contrary. Since he burst onto the music scene in 2012 with […]

Andrew Combs “Ideal Man” (New West Records, 2019)

October 10, 2019 Rick Bayles 0

This is a very interesting album – not least because it’s asking you to expand the concept of what you consider “Americana”; and we’re not just talking about a bit of pop sensibility or some […]

Album Reviews
February 23, 2021 0
Passionate, well-constructed, generously-spirited protest music that can’t be ignored. There’s a quote attributed to Americana/folk musician Todd Snider out there where he says ‘I didn’t write this song to change people’s minds, I  wrote it [...]

Columns

A half-term of maniacal walking and second-guessing. So the dull sun sets on a week of enforced stasis; walks with one friend at a time through sodden fields, cack-handed DIY that promises to cause problems […]
