Signature Sounds / Continental Song City

In recent times few acts have come to my attention any finer as all round acts than singer-songwriter, Jeffrey Foucault, and who not only writes a fine song but can play a bit too! Also, as this album with a sub-title of A Collection —Jeffrey Foucault Sings The Songs Of John Prine he is likewise a fine interpreter. John Prine fans would argue, and quite rightly, that no one can better or in most cases come near the… Continue

THE FLATLANDERS. HILLS AND VALLEYS (New West Records)

Made up of old friends, Texans Jimmie Dale Gilmore, Joe Ely and Butch Hancock with the help of among others, producer / multi-talented musician Lloyd Maines they once again come through with a fine album. Each act has a unique rough-hewn vocal style and a cutting edge that has remained strong. Added to this is their ability to tell a story in song in such a fashion to rank with the best —today or yesterday.

Gurf Morlix —Last Exit Happyland

GURF MORLIX

LAST EXIT HAPPYLAND www.gurfmorlix.com

When it comes to hard, gritty and richly coloured Americana few people create it better than Gurf Morlix, whether as a producer (Lucinda Williams, Slaid Cleaves, Ray Wylie Hubbard etc) or as a recording act.
