Got a new one from Glasgow based singer-songwriter Lloyd James Fay – an album titled ‘The Black River Chronicles.” An acoustic guitar and vocal based record of 10 very intriguing songs, beautifully played. Fay has excellent finger-style chops and uses them to build lush beds for his lyrics to lay in. It’s not all strictly acoustic, […]

Waves and Spikes – Lunar Pulse is Radiating by Plastic Willow
Right. So, this cat sends me a record to check out but, says that I’m not going to like it. Plastic Willow is a one-man-show, but a lot more (even a one-mic record)! In the introduction to Lunar Pulse, I was told, “people love it or hate it.” And that he really didn’t care if […]

Ladies and gentlemen allow me to introduce to you what I would call “Bret’s Band of the Week,” if there were such a thing. Neil Lipuma sent me a copy of Come On, released by Scares the Daylights (white shoe records) on May 7. I could tell from the first few bars that I ain’t scared of […]
Kelsea Little’s Personal Myth
After the first time I listened to this one, I woke up the next day (and the day after) with the melody for Blue Feather stuck in my head. I even found myself humming the tune as I went about my daily tasks. Typically this doesn’t happen so considering this is track 1 on Kelsea […]
Mistletoes and Warheads
Great To The End by Mistletoes and Warheads is a self-proclaimed “epic rock opera” that falls a bit short of that title. Mistletoes and Warheads is an independent garage rock band from Rochester, New York. Back in 2011, Nelson Scott began this adventure as a solo project but after releasing a few albums, he became […]
Bonnaroo bound Nocona will be a Must See!
Heading to Bonnaroo? I am! When I got a message from a friend about one of her acts, I had to check out these “Nocona” cats… Damn! All I can say is they instantly got added to my Must See list. These cats rock some alt country sounds like nobody’s business. Look out, Mumford, there’s […]
