One of the great lost treasures among record collectors is Buckingham Nicks, an album released over fifty years ago, long out of print, never officially released on CD and unavailable on streaming services like iTunes. Featuring a pre-Fleetwood Mac Lindsay Buckingham and Stevie Nicks, the album (a commercial failure in 1973) has attained a mythical status with...
The musical path Jason Isbell has taken isn’t recommended. At the age of 22 he joined the Drive-By Truckers, ending up addicted to alcohol and coke, eventually being asked by the rest of the band to leave. Sober for over a decade, he has taken control of his life, making the kind of choices that lead one...
John Murry has lived a series of nightmares. At times it plays like a William Faulkner novel, no surprise since he was adopted before birth by his parents in an agreement with a pregnant Cherokee schoolgirl. Raised by his grandmother (Faulkner’s first cousin) he was sent to a fundamentalist Christian rehab center for smoking and drinking where...
In The Dark We Grow is the fourth full-length album by UK-based folk duo Hannah Sanders and Ben Savage and takes listeners down a different path than their introspective 2022 release Ink of the Rosy Morning, which was born in the throes of the pandemic (perhaps the ‘dark’ from which this album grew).

By the light of an iPhone they moved boxes full of...

It’s said that absence makes the heart grow fonder, but twelve years seems like a lifetime in the music industry. Yet fans waited with bated breath for the fire of Beachwood Sparks to be rekindled. With the release of Across the River of Stars, the long wait is finally over. The pieces that made the band unique...
Jake Xerxes Fussell seems like music’s answer to Dos Equis’ “the world’s most interesting man.” He hosts a radio show on North Carolina’s WHUP-FM in Hillsborough with Jefferson Currie II every Wednesday afternoon. Covering music from Bob Dylan and June Tabor to Nigerian soul music and Swedish fiddle tunes, they are both American folklorists, which only adds...
“It was a warts and all album in a way that I never had done before a funeral to the life I was living”, Canadian singer-songwriter Donovan Woods muses on his seventh studio album, Things Were Never Good If They’re Not Good Now. In it, he scrutinises his life and his choices and it is plain...
