Tommy Womack: Now What!
I’m not sure what happened to the release of this album; officially, it was let loose on the world back in February but I’m not sure it’s been seen on this side of the Atlantic till recently. It doesn’t really matter, because this should be an album that people will be hunting down years from now. Tommy Womack is a one-off, a one man…

Viper Central: Thump and Howl
Probably my favourite bluegrass band of the moment, Vancouver’s Viper Central are back with a new album of eleven original songs, one Bill Monroe cover and a couple of old tunes from the Canadian Métis tradition. Their debut album, The Devil Sure is Hard to Please married wonderful musicianship with original, contemporary songs absolutely steeped in the tradition. This new album, again produced by band member…

Scotty Alan: Wreck and a Mess
Released in America last year to some acclaim, Scotty Alan’s new solo album has recently received its UK release and this former punk rocker from Upper Peninsula, Michigan will, I’m sure, be making friends over here on the back of it. Marrying a country/folk vibe to a punkish energy, these fifteen songs chart the progress of a relationship that didn’t work out. Opening with the “goodbye” song, Scotty winds back to the days when it all looked good, finding along the way that…

Ed Romanoff: Self-titled
Ed Romanoff’s debut album shows all the signs of being a long time in the gestation, with ten original songs that dig deep in their search for truth. Along the way to becoming a recording artist in his own right Ed has made good friends of Mary Gauthier, Josh Ritter and Crit Harmon (who produced this record), all good people to have…

Grant Peeples: Prior Convictions
Having abandoned music making for a decade or so, Florida native Grant Peeples has been back with a bit of a bang in the last few years with this new one being the fourth album in the last five years. He’s quite an old style left wing protest singer and if you asked him what he was protesting against, he would answer, as per…

Screen Door Porch: The Fate & The Fruit
"Roots Rock” seems to be the tag this Wyoming based band attracts, but from the first notes of The Fate &The Fruit I feel we’re in alt-country/country noir territory and the kind of sounds that seemed to emerge around the turn of the century. A dark rhythmic pulse has a sparse banjo line riding over it with a…

Hatful of Rain: Way Up On The Hill
Here’s more hugely enjoyable Appalachian inspired music from the deep south of England; Hatful of Rain add a little English folk feel to the ten original songs that appear on this debut cd and that, of course, is all to the good when you’re making music that springs from a shared tradition. The band comprises Chloe Overton…
