Amy Winehouse in The 27 Club: Ten Years On

Ten years ago, Amy Winehouse lost her fight. Addiction won. She joined The 27 Club. If she was shown more love, taken better care of, if the pressures weren’t the same, you could even say if she was stronger – that might, after all, be someone’s read on it – she could still be with […]

Amy Winehouse: Live At The BBC [3CD]

Amy Winehouse Live At The BBC [3CD] Republic It’s been ten years since Amy Winehouse’s addiction won – and we lost. We lost a great and very finite talent. The two studio albums completed in Winehouse’s lifetime were perfectly imperfect. She was jazz and she was hip-hop and she wasn’t quite either but was so […]

Charles Moriarty: Back To Amy

Back To Amy  Charles Moriarty  Cassell  The death of Amy Winehouse made me feel very odd – I couldn’t process my feelings about it; I’ve realised now – in many ways that’s because I said a goodbye to her around the time of her “Rehab”-fame. The second album, Back To Black, is largely superb. And I can acknowledge that now. But even with that acknowledgment […]

Shannon Shaw: Shannon in Nashville

Shannon Shaw Shannon in Nashville Nonesuch The obvious aim here is to reference Dusty in Memphis and though this can’t quite hold a candle – its got lighter-in-the-air attitude and if just some of the fans of that sublime Dusty Springfield gave Shannon Shaw a chance it might be a better world. Shannon in Nashville has […]

The Vinyl Countdown # 744

Amy Winehouse, Back To Black (2006) I was never as sold on this album as Frank – because I’d discovered Frank first, on my own, felt like I’d found it, this album was the one that was given to everyone – and no, that doesn’t matter, not really. But it did to me at the […]

The Vinyl Countdown # 757

Amy Winehouse, Frank (2003) I was such a huge Amy Winehouse fan when I first heard this album – I got it early, review copy, I felt like one of the first to hear it and it felt like brand new music – built from the parts of some old songs and singing styles and […]

Quadron: Avalanche

Quadron Avalanche Vested In Culture/Epic Records Danish soul-pop duo Quadron return with their second album, offering – I guess – the sort of thing I was hoping for when I sat down with Solange’s True. Where that was just one great track surrounded by fluff, Avalanche has the hit single, Hey Love is a little […]
