Together Red Beet Records acts
Eric Brace and Peter Cooper are a force to be reckoned with since on singing harmonies like all classic duos they join as one. Close your eyes and you get that feeling a multitude of occasions. Plus they have in Julie Lee and Jon Randall who sing on three cuts two wonderful foils and better still Master Sessions have legendary…

Lets dart across the other side of the world now to meet a Rebel Riffs request, this time from a three piece band from Australia. New Nobility (there's a band in the name too but pfffttt) comprise of Maja St. Louis, Zoranic Munib, Krga Zoran, Sead Trnka and Juventus Kantat, none of which - you must admit - sound anything but Australian, but that's the beauty of this multicultural world of ours - what's in a name, right? It's the music that counts and judging by the labels rock and punk attached…

From deepest Louisiana comes
Yvette Landry and her own high quality take on honky tonk music. All the familiar elements are here: the fast and raucous numbers to dance your socks off to are interlaced with the slower numbers that give the chance for a slow smooch, a breather or to get the drinks in. Yvette herself has played a variety of instruments for a whole bunch of…

An old one this, in two ways. This cd was actually made back in 2005, trying to catch the wave of enthusiasm for all things 'Americana' I guess, and then there's Panama Red himself who belongs to the post-war generation that were still young enough to make the most of the 60s - which is when he picked up the Panama Red soubriquet; it was a favoured form of hash at the time. His career in music seems to have been a bit stop-start for various…

Marathon – Darden Smith
tracks: 15
Darden Smith is one of Austin’s most revered musicians, and with an impressive catalogue over twenty five years, (one CD of which saw him collaborate with British folk singer Boo Hewerdine) to his name already, Marathon is his new release.
Interestingly, the result wasn’t quite what Smith set out to create. After composing a performance work for the Austin…

Larkin Poe – Summer EP
Tracks: 12

Summer follows Spring, not only in life, but in the EP set being launched by Larkin Poe. Equally wonderful, it shows progress, in their style and sound. Whilst at times it seems they have moved forward, at times they also seem to flash back to their Lovell Sisters days, but whatever, the result is a fabulous EP of over…

The first thing I have to note about this CD is that the cover art is exquisite. The second is that I didn’t think Ottowa’s
Lynn Miles could produce a song which would outdo Casinos el Camino (from 2005’s Love Sweet Love CD), which spent a long time on repeat in my house. Do you know? I think maybe she has given it some touch competition.
Often compared to…

This is the third album in for Montana based
Ben Bullington and he's assembled a stellar bunch of musicians to help him present this latest batch of songs. Recording at George Bradfute's Tone Chapparal, outside Nashville, is itself a sign of high quality as far as I'm concerned. But if George at the helm wasn't enough, how's about this for a collection of…

Matt Schofield is one of the hot properties of British blues, a guitarist of blistering talent who's earned high praise and a considerable following here in the UK, in continental Europe and in North America, too. This new album actually goes back a few years to present, pretty much untouched, a performance he gave live on Dutch radio in 2007. At that time Matt fronted a trio that comprised himself, Jonny Henderson on Hammond organ and…
