Hans Zimmer & David Fleming: Hillbilly Elegy (Music from the Netflix Film)

Hans Zimmer & David Fleming Hillbilly Elegy (Music from the Netflix Film) Milan Like everyone, I would hope, I struggled with the movie Hillbilly Elegy – I wanted to like it and in fact I could not flat out hate it. Because the lead performances are very strong. And there was something about it that […]

Shelby Lynne: Shelby Lynne

Shelby Lynne Shelby Lynne Everso Records marketed and distributed by Thirty Tigers Shelby Lynne is a class act – one of the finest voices of the last 30 years, a great writer, also a producer and multi-instrumentalist, but that seems to be buried somewhat in the bio – never mind, it’s well on display here […]

The Vinyl Countdown # 722

Kenny Rogers, Love Will Turn You Around (1982) When my grandmother’s husband died I inherited some records – which meant finding a small handful of gems and wading through a couple of crates of junk. In a way I’m still searching through the detritus – because it’s of no use to anyone else really, can’t […]

Danny Bensi & Saunder Jurriaans: The Gift [OST]

Danny Bensi & Saunder Jurriaans The Gift [Original Motion Picture Soundtrack] Sony Classical Joel Edgerton’s debut as writer/director, The Gift, was an excellent thriller, breathing fresh air into a much-visited trope – the stalker-film – and part of the magic of the film, or at least assisting the magic of the film was the score […]

The Vinyl Countdown # 1252

V/A, Angel Heart [OST] (1987) It’s pretty easy to fall under the (dark) spell of this record. Brownie McGhee and Bessie Smith tracks – that wonderful score from Trevor Jones (the man’s a genius) and memories of the film, a sinister, evil, powerful film. Only seen the film the one time but whenever I play […]
