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)

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.

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

Tinderbox: State of Play
www.tinderboxacoustic.com
Tinderbox are Monique Houraghan and Dan Tucker; based in Bournemouth, they write songs together that combine Monique's high, clear and sweet singing with Dan's quite exquisite finger-picked acoustic guitar. They've gathered a fair crowd of musical friends to gently flesh out the sound of 'State of Play' but there is no doubting the starring roles here as… Continue

New release from Buddy Guy, FSR gets his thoughts and a free download of him with BB King for you.
Release Date ~ October 26, 2010
"When I was 21,” says Buddy Guy, "some of my older friends, who are no longer with us, they’d say, 'You’re still a baby.' And then they said the same thing when I was 31, then 41, and I thought, ‘Man, when do I get old?’ I've been hearing that ever since I first went to Chicago—'You’re still wet behind the ears.' So when do I get dry?"
With his new album, Living Proof, Guy takes a… Continue
