Sarah Lee Guthrie and Johnny Irion: Bright Examples
This husband and wife team have been playing together for over a decade but various distractions (playing with the Guthrie Family Rides Again tour, having a couple of children, producing a well-received children's album) seem to have got in the way of their career as a duo, so that…

Society: A Crooked Mile
Country rock bands are supposed to come with at least five or six players, but this three piece band from Sussex are doing things their own way. True enough, there's plenty of guest musicians on this album with Spencer Cullum's pedal steel a particularly strong presence. How this all translates…

My Album of the Week: Charlie Parr - Cheap Wine
A UK compilation on Tin Angel Records, Cheap Wine should help latecomers like myself appreciate what a wonder Charlie Parr is. His website announces him thus: "One man, one guitar, one foot in the grave"; between that and the image of the fulsomely bearded Charlie sitting on a stool blasting out his own songs, you'll have a fair idea what…

Buddy Whittington: Six String Svengali
Texan blues guitarist Buddy Whittington spent many years as John Mayall's sideman and only stepped out as the leader of his own band in recent years; it's one thing polishing your reputation as a great blues guitarist but it's quite another to take on the responsibilities of writing the material and singing it, and…

Water Tower Bucket Boys: Where The Crow Don't Fly
More likely to be seen sporting baseball caps than dungarees, these exponents of bluegrass from Oregon are rather more "up from the street" than "down from the mountain". Bluegrass is the core of their music making, old-timey music that comes with huge exuberance and a punk music attitude -…

My album of the week: The Lost Pines - Sweet Honey
A six-piece bluegrass band from Austin, The Lost Pines acquired the services of the great Lloyd Maines to produce this, their second album; the result is a fourteen song collection that is fast and precise as bluegrass should be, yet simultaneously warm and laid-back. There seem to be so many ways to try and take…

Brothers Reid: Top of the Old Road
The Brothers Reid are not The Proclaimers in another guise, they are Michael and Christopher Reid from Aberdeen, and Top of the Old Road is their debut album - due for launch this week with a gig at The Lemon Tree in Aberdeen. The nine tracks clock in at a…

Belladrum 2011
Right, this is going to be kind of like a Saturday night football report, telling you about the bits that caught my eye and ear, but Belladrum is a hugely varied festival these days and there’s probably 14,000 different versions of what Belladrum 2011 was like. Me,…

Paul Wassif: Looking Up, Feeling Down
If you're a British blues guitar player and you can have a photo on your debut album cover which shows three guitarists in the studio together, you've got to feel pretty chuffed if the two extra guitarists are Bert Jansch and Eric Clapton. It's a huge recommendation of Paul Wassif's talent, which has seen him journey…
