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). This offering boasts an...
The human condition. It is immeasurably complex, multi- faceted, beautiful and terrible, mournful yet joyous – and it has been an endless fountain of inspiration for artists through the ages. It is into this source that Tennessee-born singer-songwriter Kate Prascher taps with her debut full-length album ShakeThe Dust. It takes an honest, raw look into human experience,...
David Rawlings & Gillian Welch Challenges come in many forms. For Gilliam Welch and David Rawlings one of the biggest was just surviving the hurricane that tore the roof off their Woodland Studio just as Covid was putting the world into a forced hibernation in 2020. By the light of an iPhone they moved boxes full of...

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...
The world tends to play tricks on you when you least expect it. Though the Felice Brothers have been recording for almost two decades, singing songs of faith and despair, hope and heartbreak, dealing with every aspect of the human condition. Yet when it came time to release Valley of Abandoned Songs Ian Felice was content to...
Songwriter is the latest posthumously released album showcasing the talent of the great Johnny Cash – and this one is perhaps his most personal yet. Co-produced by his son John Carter Cash and longtime sound engineer for ‘The Man in Black’, David ‘Fergie’ Ferguson, Songwriter brings Cash’s wonderfully rich vocals into the modern era.

Lankum are unruly. While they play traditional Irish music, they don’t play it traditionally. At times this folk group seems closer to playing Irish heavy metal.
