Music Reviews
Altan – The Poison Glen (Gleann Nimhe)
Great bar room instrumental work from these chilled Celtic masters.
Amaziah - Straight Talker
Interesting for historical purposes only.
Tord Gustavsen Quartet - The Well
This excellent serving of chilled jazz one is already on my short list for the best of 2012.
Bloody Strummers - Returnn of the Halcyon Days
Josh Lory (Western Grace, LS Underground) and Matt Biggers offer up a blend of late 60's psychedelic/garage rock produced by Masaki Liu. 'Nuff said.
Shane and Shane - The One You Need
Another release from Shane and Shane that shines with their signature harmonies.
The Exkursions - The Exkursions
The Exkursions mix grove, fuzz, blues, and hard rock together for a classic Christian rock album that is finally seeing the light of digital day thanks to Born Twice Records.
Barnett, John - Never Look Back
God inhabits stark places as well as places of plenty.
Flying Colors
Soaring voice, flying sticks, flying fingers.... Flying Colors. Steve Morse, Neal Morse, Mike Portnoy, Dave Larue and Casey McPherson get together to take us where rock and roll meets prog, metal, and pop.
Daugherty, Derri - Clouds Echo in Blue
Deceptively melodic shoegaze from a Tollbooth favourite.
Various - Live from The Old Town School
Out of the box: hundreds of vintage performances of classic roots moments now released.
Insomniac Folklore - A Place Where Runaways Are Not Alone
Insomniac Folklore offer up something a little different from a place where runaways, dreamers, freaks and misfits are all welcome.
