It’s as thin as the edge of a razor, the road separating Heaven from Hell, sin from salvation, redemption from despair. It’s a lonely road to go down and like the old gospel says, you’ve got to walk it for yourself. Kelly Joe Phelps has been doing lot of soul searching since his last record, ‘Western Bell’ came out in 2009. Three years later, his journey has wound its way to a recording studio…

A little while ago Joe West made a trio of albums over a five year period that remain essential listening as far as I'm concerned. Using country music as his background (always played in the finest loose-but-together style) he brought to life a succession of tales of the world around him, singing about lovers and friends and…

Otis Gibbs – Joe Hill’s Ashes

Tracks: 12



Otis Gibbs has been described as ‘a man in search of an honest experience.’ As someone who has only recently discovered Otis Gibbs, I found his story fascinating. a man who has planted over 7,000 trees, slept in hobo jungles, walked with nomadic shepherds in the Carpathian Mountains, been strip-searched by dirty cops in Detroit, and even has an FBI file. He has, it seems, spent the… Continue

I've seen New York's Joe Cassady And The West End Sound at Belladrum Festival two years running and absolutely loved 'em each time: 'a classic rock band with a star guitarist' is how I described them and that's pretty much how they come over in a live setting. (see fan video below) I… Continue

Joe Fournier is the real deal. He simply plays Americana roots music - funky, country soul, folk, rockabilly and blues - with stories that will make you laugh, cry and cringe, sometimes all in the same verse. You’ll find elements of John Fogerty, Bruce Springteen, Kris Kristofferson, John Hiatt, Shel Silverstein, Fred Eaglesmith - all covered in southern fried swamp rockin' blues and a good dose of Bakersfield twang. He plays all the… Continue

Joe West , immediately created a buzz in Austin Texas when he formed Joe West And The Sinners, earning fans and a regular spot at Austin's… Continue

A new blog from Chris. We've arrived in Joshua Tree from LA. The action starts in room eight of the Joshua Tree Inn:



Body clock still running fast, I woke up at 5.30 a.m. for the third day in a row despite a concerted effort the previous evening to give myself a fighting chance of sleep – by staying up late and getting drunk on the Coronas we’d bought at the Canyon Country Store. I should have known better. Here of all places I was… Continue

I'm Chris Price. My friend Joe and I go by the name of Missing Parsons. We blog about our experiences on the road in search of the roots of our favourite American songs - a coast-to-coast road trip searching for the spirit of rock and roll America. It was kind of a… Continue

Here's a best of the decade list; I'd like to have put both of Drew Nelson's albums in, partly because nobody seems to have picked up on him much and I reckon he's quite special. In no particular order. All of these I love everytime I hear them and some of them are definitely comfort music for me by now.



AJ Roach: Revelation

Nels Andrews: Sunday Shoes

Bruce Springsteen: Magic

Drew Nelson: Dusty Road to Beulah Land

Joe West: Human… Continue
