Hank is taking the no Hall 2 Small concept to its natural limit and has announced he is up for taking his wild west show to your house concert and has promised to leave the horses at home.
If Daniel O'Donnell is the brightly scrubbed face of British country music then Hank Wangford is its guilty conscience, its dark and troubled grubby… Continue

The Wrights are husband and wife duo, Adam and Shannon who have been making music together for nearly a decade but this is their first album of original material after a bad experience of life on a major label rather pulled the rug from under their… Continue
Ok: fair warning to you guys, I'm coming at this as someone with pretty sparing acquaintance with the blues; I have fits of enthusiasm but it's never become an all-embracing thing for me somehow. As far as I get it though any blues worth its salt has to have a sense of being… Continue
Coming from San Francisco's Bay Area, it seems only right and fitting that Forest Sun's music should be of a relaxed and sunny disposition. He generally plays gigs with just himself, his acoustic guitar and his sidekick Ingrid Serban to provide the sweetest backing vocals. For this… Continue
At long last I have the album completed, its taken 4.5 years!
There are 13 tracks which were written and recorded while living in the Highlands and then moving to Glasgow and the songs relate to this period through the ups and downs of normality.
There are many musicians playing on these tracks and there are 4 studios which have been used. Wild Trax in County Durham (Frankie Gibbon), Barbaraville (Martin Stephenson), Redwood studio… Continue

Saloon Dogs just got a short and sweet review for Shooting Star CD on the Fatea magazine web site, and I quote:
"Born from the ashes of The Bogarts, Saloon Dogs recorded their debut album, "Shooting Star" way back in 1996. It's taken fourteen years and the imminent reformation of the band for it to see the light of day. It's aged well, hopefully like it's audience. There's ten songs on the album, each exploring concepts of love, having both male and female vocalists, in the shape of… Continue

Echoes..echoes..names...places....water....and is that JTE waving or drowning on the cover...or is it cast members of Oh Brother Where Art Thou.....no not this time...remember this is the Harlem river not the Mississippi...but it sounds so southern ..
Although JTE is having his tussles and tribulations he ain't waiting in that water to be saved..or is he. Back story is pure..nobody could have better antecedents to join the Texas… Continue

A second album from Grinderman now a defined band emerging out of the Black Seeds considerable shadow with some aplomb, as Nick, Warren, Martyn & Jim try to cast off that particular musical baggage.
However its conceived and received on mass, the songs of Grinderman and as always with Mr Cave, are awash in an atmosphere of surreal unrelenting malevolence.
"My Baby Calls me The Loch Ness Monster, Two Great Big Hummps… Continue

Self-released last year (2009), this short-ish collection of songs from Toronto's James Clark Jones frequently seems so diffident and laid back that seven of these nine songs sound more like sketches than finished items. Stick with it though, because this… Continue
This gig should be in black and white….and slightly scratchy around the edges. Even before the Wiyos play a note you are transported back to a pre-war movie-hall. This is the look and sound of Dylan’s Theme Time brought up to date, no wonder they appealed to… Continue

Hailing from Canada's Yukon territory, hard-bitten mining country, this is Kim Beggs' third album in a late burgeoning career that has brought her quite a lot of attention and acclaim. For this album she has enlisted the help of Vancouver's Steve Dawson, slide guitar player and producer - and not to be confused with Chicago's Steve Dawson of Dolly Varden fame. He has assembled a fine bunch of players to set the whole thing off and contributed… Continue
