Mike Holober Achieves a Rare 'Balancing Act' on New Palmetto Release [REVIEW]
Prepare To Be Scared by the Aaron Irwin Quartet's Self-Released 'A Room Forever' [REVIEW]
This one's scary. It's dark. It puts the listener in a state of unease. It's uncomfortable listening. You don't so much "like" a recording like this but instead respect it. I had to turn off the opening title track and recompose myself because it got inside my head. Once I knew what I was in for, I kept at it and, eventually, the alt-charm and twisted beauty of the Aaron Irwin Quartet's 'A Room Forever' came to the fore. But it didn't come easy, then again, the best things in life are never easy. Eric Bibb & JJ Milteau Make 'Lead Belly's Gold' Vital on New Stony Plain Release [REVIEW]
Eric Bibb comes from a long line of roots heroes like Taj Mahal and Keb Mo who are bound to keep American blues and folk alive for future generations. JJ Milteau is a French harmonica player. Together, with full band, they perform 11 live and five studio interpretations of the legendary Lead Belly [1888-1949], a giant of a man, born Huddie Ledbetter in Louisiana. The release is titled 'Lead Belly's Gold' and is released on Stony Plain.
