SLAID CLEAVES —EVERYTHING YOU LOVE WILL BE TAKEN AWAY...(Music Road Records)
Co-produced by Gurf Morlix, this is Slaid Cleaves first album in quite some time (regards songs from his own hand, 2004 and his album, Wishbones) — and, like with all his other records the wait has been worth it. With regulars Rick Richards, Charles Arthur, Billy Harvey, Michael O’Connor and of course, Gurf himself aided by guest slots from Gene Elders and vocalist Trish Murphy Cleaves’ songs are as sharp as ever. Hence, the music races out of the chute in exciting fashion. His wor… Continue

JOHNNY CASH —JOHNNY CASH’S AMERICA (Sony) CD/ DVD
Rich in emotive edge, honesty this selection of fare from the late Johnny Cash may for the main part be familiar to his followers but there are a handful of songs seeing daylight for the first time. We are talking about rousing live versions of ‘Children, Go Where I Send Thee’ (featuring Carl Perkins), Woody Guthrie’s ‘This Land Is Your Land’ and the previously unreleased studio tracks ‘Come Along And Ride This Train’ —that, marked with typical chicka-boom rhythm chugs a… Continue

RYAN BINGHAM & THE DEAD HORSES — ROADHOUSE SUN (Humphead)
If the music of Woody Guthrie and Bruce Springsteen are part of your diet then now you now have another flavour to spice up your life! Since, young aspiring Texas singer-songwriter Ryan Bingham is straight out of the same stable, honest and ragged, vocally he is capable of going the distance.
Following on from his debut album Mescalito, Bingham has come up with a strong collection of tunes, and he wrote them all. Yes, he does on occasions become a little too ragged as he… Continue

J.B. BEVERLEY & THE WAYWARD DRIFTERS —WATCH AMERICA ROLL BY (Hell Train Records)
www.helltrainrecords.com

Coming undiluted straight from the bottle (‘an organic road record that may as well have soil falling off it’s roots’), J.B Beverley and his band, the Wayward Drifters produce a sound that takes me back years! Since JB’s lead vocals possess a great likeness to one-time 1970s top country music earner Roy Clark, and then there are the pickers who, in donating huge slices of dobro, steel guitar, banjo, double b… Continue

Rachel Harrington and Zak Borden - Southport Arts Centre 26th June 2009

http://www.zakborden.com
Southport Arts centre is a beautiful venue, which puts on acoustic music thoughtfully and sympathetically. Both Rachel and her support act, Cara Luft, ex ‘Wailing Jenny’, commented on the excellent sound, and they were right.
Cara played the opening set, accompanied on a range of instruments by the extremely versatile Hugh McMillan, from ‘Spirit of the West’. Hugh played… Continue

Diana Jones in concert - Pacific Road, Birkenhead 21st June
June 21st 2009.
How can a place name be quite so misleading ? Pacific Road surely makes you think of Ocean vistas, sea breezes, and warm white sand. When what you get is the Birkenhead water treatment plant, and a large sandstone barn like venue. Diana Jones obviously felt the same when she arrived, commenting with some understatement to the audience that ‘its kinda unprepossessing outside, isn’t it ?’. And it was disappointing also that the a… Continue
