This is a third album from
Jeni Hankins and Billy Kemp, a duo deeply rooted in Appalachian folk music. They take an admirably pure and unfussed attitude to their music making. Whether singing traditional material or their own brand new compositions - and on this album, it's about a 50:50 split - they keep things simple and dignified. They're…

AnnaLena Winter, who also wrote all the songs (in English) for this, their fourth album. With something new I'm always trying to hear where a…

A great way to enjoy the music that doesn't fill stadiums, house concerts are a rising phenomenon across Europe and North America; I was a house concert virgin till tonight but this halfway step between an old style ceilidh and a club gig has got me really enthused. It helps if the first experience turns out to be a corker, as this 0ne was.
Will Kimbrough and Tommy Womack are the core members of Daddy and are currently touring as a…

When it comes to good ol’ southern Americana soul there are few acts coming through any finer than Clarence Bucaro, a careful lyricist and likewise, measured vocalist like a traditional carpenter he shapes a song like he would wood. Smooth and the edges well rounded, Bucaro blends all aspects with unerring ease.

Mark Bates is a youthful chap from West Virginia who has produced an album chockfull of the contradictions inherent in the music of the American south. Ostensibly a God fearin’ population, scratch the surface and there is sex, crime, fear and darkness. Bates was raised in a church going family and drank in the waters of this duality. He sings with passion of whores, murder and alcohol, ingrained with the spirit of the area. With a…

A second album from Bournemouth's
Lou Brown, which she is currently touring, and a distinctive kind of voice she is, too. This album was produced by Clive Gregson and he contributes some quite beautiful guitar playing, but the special quality comes from Lou's own low-key direct approach to songwriting. She deals with the mundane, ordinary things of life and…

Many thanks for having me as a member at the FSR, it's going to be a great opportunity for me to be introduced to the many independent artists that can get under the radar. For the past year and a half myself and John Parsons have hosted a two hour program on Deveron FM, a local radio station on the N.E. coast of Scotland. The title of our show is 'Americano' where in the first half we discuss current affairs from the States, interspersed with a variety of American music, then in the second…
