April 12, 2022 David Jarman 0

June 1, 2021 Martin Johnson 0

How personal tragedy can help produce music that sounds uplifting. While D. L. Rossi’s musical path had taken him to Nashville that doesn’t mean his story is automatically similar to the many other aspiring singer-songwriters making […]

September 27, 2018 Del Day 0

A collection of songwriters holed up on the outskirts of Santa Fe in a ramshackle house, fuelled by alcohol, camaraderie and hot tubs, Glorietta sounds like some kind of creative utopian dream. Delta Spirit’s Matthew Logan […]

For the Sake of the Song: Marah “Round Eye Blues”

March 23, 2026 0

Marah is at their best when singing about lonely urban streets where bums warm their hands around trash fires in rusty 50-gallon cans, transvestite prostitutes wrap their feather boas a little tighter against an unforgiving 4:00 […]

Elgin and the Marbles “The Sun Never Sets”

January 22, 2019 0

From his new album, Songs From Various Places, out on February 22nd, this is a slightly wry and distinctly catchy song about the titular mammal from London’s Simon Stanley Ward. Very good it is too.

Red River Dialect describe themselves on their site as “a six strong band of human animals, brewing a lightly carbonated folk-rock from the psycho-spiritual malt of David Morris’ songwriting”. We rather liked their new record, which […]
