Everything changes over time. That’s certainly true for Sea Wolf’s Through a Dark Wood. Some of the pain has passed and now songs that didn’t make sense when the album was released in March of 2020 resonate differently. Eighteen months have passed, and along the way Alex Brown Church has come to grips with who he is really. ...
This Friday we’re playing our first and only show of the year at Union Chapel in Islington. I’ve got quite a history with the place, so it’ll feel even more special to take to that stage again. The first time was with Gavin Clark in 2008. I only played on a couple of songs, and I remember...
Capturing magic in a bottle is hard, doing it twice is almost impossible. But that’s what Robert Plant and Alison Krauss have done with Raise the Roof. The first notes of ‘Quattro (World Drifts In)’ suggest that while it has taken 14 years to recreate Raising Sand, the time has not been wasted. The formula and cast of characters...
by Jonathan Frahm • 11 November 2021 • Comments Off on Premiere | The Ghibertins – Ropes & Kites Courtesy of A Badge of Friendship The Ghibertins carry the torch for clap-along, stomp-along folk-rock well on their latest.

Photo: Vincent Bancheri Matt Dorrien peeks into the kaleidoscope that is life on his latest, ‘Baby, Will You Come Back Home?’ Its accompanying music video is wonderfully dry in its depiction of a man in need of a...
by Mark Buckley • 29 October 2021 • Comments Off on EP | Mr. Alec Bowman_Clarke – A Place Like Home One of the few things that truly helped me through the first few months of the original lockdown all that time ago was Mr. Alec Bowman’s debut album I Used to be Sad but Then I Forgot – an album...
Folk icon Woody Guthrie’s ground-breaking 1940 album ‘Dust Bowl Ballads’ has been reimagined by a cross-genre collective of artists selected by Randall Poster in a brand-new release as the record enters its eighty second year. The ability to speak to topics such as climate change all these years later shows that the struggles of the 1940s that...
At the age of 63, Billy Bragg finds himself in an interesting place, one that he never expected to be in, documented on The Million Things That Never Happened. The thing is the Bragg we expect in some ways has never really existed. Rather than just being a guy with a soapbox, as a songwriter he’s always been...
My Morning Jacket, the band’s self-titled new album is a lesson in inspiration. For a band that was on the verge of breaking up, playing together seemed to have lost much of the glow.
