Steve Martin & Edie Brickell: So Familiar

Steve Martin & Edie Brickell So Familiar Rounder Here is the second collaborative album from Martin and Brickell, accurately named since the pair work so well together and here particularly it feels seamless – in fact Martin is essentially the sideman, could have gone unnamed; why then is it Steve Martin and Edie Brickell not […]

Caitlin Rose: The Stand-In

Caitlin Rose The Stand-In ATO Records Caitlin Rose’s third album is her best – and that’s high praise because, to my ears, the 25 year old started off strong and hasn’t put a foot wrong. But the songs – actual songs; well-written songs – continue to tumble from her and she writes well for characters, […]

The Vinyl Countdown # 1571

 Robert Plant, Band Of Joy (2010) I love the journey that Robert Plant is on with (his) music. Here that journey involves Patty Griffin and Buddy Miller (I’d buy any album that had them on it anyway). There are two Low covers and renditions of songs by Richard Thompson and Los Lobos. This album is […]
