Albums
Banjo playing Americana duo The Lowest Pair that we introduced back in 2014 make a double album UK release…Music for sunshine and mint juleps, the albums, like the duo, make a fine pair.
From the Outside is one for the Bert Jansch fans – fifteen songs delivered solo without any of the over-production and superfluous accompaniment that typified many 1980s albums by folk artists.
Whilst not a landmark Colvin & Earle does capture the feel of two artists kicking loose and having a good time, and that’s infectious. They will perform two nights at London’s Union Chapel this month.
In the same way that the idea of home could not exist without the possibility of travel, tradition means nothing without evolution. Storied Sounds encapsulates this concept with breathtaking simplicity and vibrancy.
Still making stylish, powerful and relevant category-defying electro-acoustic music with a keen sense of spaciousness and a supreme confidence that proves their personal chemistry is undimmed, Leo and Sonny are still a creative force to be reckoned with.
Cold Weather Music is the first solo release from guitarist Paul Tasker. If you like your music to be predictable and albums tracks to be homogenous, maybe this is not for you…your loss. Personally, I loved it.
