Albums

Morning Way deserves its reputation as one of the unsung musical treasures of the 1970s; a charming and magical album which still sounds fresh, with much to offer a new generation of listeners.

The raspy voiced Canadian Ben Rogers is back with a four-piece band featuring the likes City and Color’s Matt Kelly and a new offering in the form of ‘The Bloodred Yonder’.

On their latest offering Trevor Moss and Hannah-Lou join forces with producer Ethan Johns for an often down to the bone sound on which they spread their musical roots a little wider.

Sounding both retro and fresh, the latest offering from The Psycho Sisters, is an album that certainly warrants discovery and of which both can feel justifiably, if rather belatedly, proud.

Whilst hailing from Boston, Jenna Moynihan’s debut album ‘Woven’ proves that her heart lies with the Scottish fiddle tradition. At twenty-four years old, she is already playing beyond her years and leaving listeners around the world with baited breath for her next move.

Corb Lund returns with his highly-anticipated album, Things That Can’t Be Undone, his first new studio album in three years which finds him pushing out into new musical territory.

Real World Records release ‘Fatteliku Live’, Youssou N’Dour and his band’s live set supporting Peter Gabriel on the landmark ‘So’ tour, recorded in Athens in 1987 and making its long-awaited debut as an audio release.

We rejoin Jonathan Day on the road for a series of guest posts written during his Atlantic Drifter launch tour. He heads over the sea in a force 6 to Rhum for the perhaps the most essential launch gig of the tour.

The Ballads of Child Migration is an album of brand new songs from some of Britain’s finest folk musicians inspired by these heart breaking true stories and coincides with a new exhibition taking place at London’s Victoria & Albert Museum of Childhood.

I’m Walkin’ Here is the latest gem from Rab Noakes, featuring new songs, lovingly described as 21st Century skiffle, as well as songs he’s collected for interpretation. Rab is joined by a a great lineup including a stellar array of singers with Roddy Hart, Emma Pollock, Jimmie Macgregor, Barbara Dickson and more.

Michael Chapman’s latest release ‘Fish’ is a beautifully constructed album. It’s a delightfully un-sanitised recording of a master guitarist completely at ease with his playing.

Vancouver-based band The Sumner Brothers return with their fifth album, The Hell In Your Mind. A musically and lyrically dark and dense affair that, if not quite in the 16 Horsepower league of intensity, is still a raw and exposed nerve.
