Erin Rae: Lagniappe Session (ep)

Erin Rae Lagniappe Session (ep) Independent / Aquarium Drunkard The great Aquarium Drunkard site/blog started up this thing a while back called the Lagniappe Sessions – getting artists to record covers and inspirations, a short-form thing, an EP the result. It’s been a great way to discover both new musical talent (the artist) and rediscover […]

The 1001 Albums Challenge # 43: Gene Clark – “White Light”

Okay, it’s sorta weird – to me at least – that I had never heard this. Never heard any of it. Not only did I love The Byrds (and how could you not?) but I’m a huge fan of Gene Clark’s contributions in particular. And one of my all-time favourite albums by anyone ever is […]

One Song To Make You Late: A Song Like No Other

Just another day surfing the net, collecting up the ephemera, the flotsam and jetsam that gets posted and passed around, linked to and laughed over. And then, there it was, a screen-shot of an iPhone. And I had to share it. It was obviously not at all true. But you kinda wanted it to be […]

V/A: Bobby Gillespie presents Sunday Mornin’ Comin’ Down

Various Artists: Bobby Gillespie Presents Sunday Mornin’ Comin’ Down Ace Records/Border I’m a sucker for a great artist-driven compilation/mix-tape. They’ll tell you that you can do it yourself via Spotify or almost any other platform. And you can. But the best mixtapes are the ones your friends make you – because you get to see […]

Roy Orbison: One Of The Lonely Ones

Roy Orbison One Of The Lonely Ones Universal Music Catalogue My first favourite album of 2016 and the last great release of 2015 was actually recorded – and intended – for 1969. This is no touched-up, phoned-in set of remakes, digitally reconstructed from remnants, this is an extant Roy Orbison album from 1969 – and […]

V/A: Country Funk Volume II – 1967-1974

Various Artists: Country Funk Volume II – 1967-1974 Light In The Attic The first volume – one of Light In The Attic’s masterstrokes in the compiling/reissuing game – was the introduction of a genre that might have seemed to some like a Buzzfeed–styled click-bait headline; a fake genre you just had to hear – even […]

Chance: In Search

Chance  In Search 1-2-3-4-GO!/Southbound Chance Martin used to knock around with Cowboy Jack Clement – he was sound engineer for the wonderful Nashville and a trusted stage-hand and side-kick of one Johnny Cash. He got on the gas with Tanya Tucker and when that all got to be a bit of a bore, or at […]
