C.W. Stoneking: Jungle Blues

http://cwstoneking.com

The clue is in the name of the label: Hokum - tall tales and nonsense, which was a fairly popular form of entertainment in the early 20th century but has kind of fallen by the wayside since. It takes somebody with the heroic individualism of Australian Christopher William Stoneking to marry that tradition to an extraordinary melange of between the wars music and bring us this… Continue

THE JOHN HARTFORD STRING BAND —MEMORIES OF JOHN (Compass Records)

www.compassrecords.com

Oh, how good it is to hear this tribute to John Hartford. Acoustic, stripped back and simple from the outset this is something he would be so proud of and righty so.

Eric Brace and Peter Cooper - Master Sessions

Kudos to Red Beet Records for producing two of my favorite albums of 2010. First there was Peter Cooper's The Lloyd Green Album and released almost simultaneously Eric Brace and Peter Cooper's album Master… Continue

Get your Government Cheese, its ready

Even if you weren't party to The Cheese on their first time round, you may like me be a huge Tommy Womack fan (if your not, you need to be, believe me Tommy's one of the true wonders of the songwriting world) and if so you may have been lucky enough to read his cult classic Cheese Chronicles: The True Story of a Rock ‘n’ Roll Band You’v Never Heard Of

The cd has come about from fan subscription, in the wake of a… Continue

CHATHAM COUNTY LINE —WILDWOOD (Yep Roc)

www.yeproc.com

Wildwood is the bands fifth album and with current members Dave Wilson, John Teer, Chandler Holt and Greg Readling at the helm and, like the previous recordings it is the business.

Combining bluegrass, country and rock the North Carolina band produce a dynamic mix of music that offers shades of varying degrees of the Old Crow Medicine Show and funny enough vocal harmonies… Continue

JUDY COLLINS —PARADISE (Wildflower Records)

www.wildflowerrecords.com

I am a long time fan of Judy Collins, forever taken by the purity of her crystal clear vocals, but Paradise on first listen came as a disappointment. Yet such is her performance with the help of contributions by Joan Baez, Stephen Stills and Michael Johnson the album makes the finishing line with an ease that only Collins and the like could manage.

With the cd… Continue

Loz Netto Band: Bridge of Dreams

www.loznetto.co.uk

Loz Netto was once in hit maker Sniff’n’The Tears; being more in love with music making than hit making, I suspect, his projects since then haven’t quite had the impact of ‘Drivers Seat’ but he plugs away for all that. This latest album is something that has apparently been on his agenda for a while and is a fair distance from a pop album in the chart-oriented sense. Bridge… Continue

Gerry Griffin: Moment to Moment (www.gerrygriffinmusic.com)

Making a fair stab at rivalling Johnny Cash for memorable last works, Canada’s Gerry Griffin presents here a collection of songs written over the last five years or so which are pretty much all washed through with intimations of mortality. These are the songs of a man obsessed with life in the shadow of death, a man determined to make the most of the time left to him. It’s not… Continue

Joe Bonamassa @ The Royal Concert Hall, Glasgow 18/10/2010

Gone is the shy young man who I saw at The Ferry in Glasgow a few years ago. He walked through the crowd unnoticed before stepping onto the small stage and blowing everyone away with his playing. These days, Joe Bonamassa sports a sharp suit, has a light show and has arrived on the big stage.

He opened with a perennial favourite of his, Rory Gallagher’s Cradle Rock and peppered the evening with songs from his latest album, Black Rock, along… Continue

Walter Trout & Mitch Laddie @ The Ferry, Glasgow 08/10/2010

It’s October so it must be Walter Trout in Glasgow. Walter and his superb band just keep coming back to Scotland and they sound better each year. This time he brought his Provogue stable mate Mitch Laddie with him and young Mitch opened up the evening superbly. Showcasing songs from his debut album, This Time Around, the 19 year old held the crowd in the palm of his hand at times and the future is bright for this young North Easterner.…
