C.W. Stoneking: Jungle Blues
http://cwstoneking.com
The clue is in the name of the label: Hokum - tall tales and nonsense, which was a fairly popular form of entertainment in the early 20th century but has kind of fallen by the wayside since. It takes somebody with the heroic individualism of Australian Christopher William Stoneking to marry that tradition to an extraordinary melange of between the wars music and bring us this… Continue

Loz Netto Band: Bridge of Dreams
www.loznetto.co.uk
Loz Netto was once in hit maker Sniff’n’The Tears; being more in love with music making than hit making, I suspect, his projects since then haven’t quite had the impact of ‘Drivers Seat’ but he plugs away for all that. This latest album is something that has apparently been on his agenda for a while and is a fair distance from a pop album in the chart-oriented sense. Bridge… Continue

Gerry Griffin: Moment to Moment

Making a fair stab at rivalling Johnny Cash for memorable last works, Canada’s Gerry Griffin presents here a collection of songs written over the last five years or so which are pretty much all washed through with intimations of mortality. These are the songs of a man obsessed with life in the shadow of death, a man determined to make the most of the time left to him. It’s not… Continue

Tinderbox: State of Play
www.tinderboxacoustic.com
Tinderbox are Monique Houraghan and Dan Tucker; based in Bournemouth, they write songs together that combine Monique's high, clear and sweet singing with Dan's quite exquisite finger-picked acoustic guitar. They've gathered a fair crowd of musical friends to gently flesh out the sound of 'State of Play' but there is no doubting the starring roles here as… Continue

Tensheds: Crazy Beautiful
www.tensheds.com
Anybody remember the Monty Python sketch about Arthur 'Two Sheds' Jackson? It's probably not relevant, but having someone called Tensheds coming along is bound to bring it to mind. Anyway,… Continue

David Vidal: After The Storm
www.davidvidal.net
New Mexico raised, LA-based David Vidal's newest recording has its heart and soul along the gulf coast. Recorded in Houston and with a title song that evokes Hurricane Katrina, David Vidal sings with sly nasal tones frequently reminiscent of Dr John. With some swampy funk and a little waltzing cajun… Continue

Steven L Smith: Outside of Tupelo
Large parts of this short-ish collection of songs (33 minutes, including a second take on one of the best songs) sound pretty much like what would have happened if Bob Seger had recorded in Nashville. Which is to say that this is very enjoyable, uncomplicated, straightforward rocking country music fronted by a man with a wonderfully large, gruff singing voice. Steven L… Continue
