If you remember our interview with Dave Shanaberger of Alberta, you will remember our discussion about listeners characterizing his sound as Yankee Indie…but neither of us know what the hell that means. After listening to It’s A Viral Darling, I know I can give you a description you will understand. Let’s try Ameri-folk-rock. Dave’s composition […]
Bellamys Jesse and Noah, drive hard – “Driven Back”
Big thanks to Kim Grant for sending me a copy of “Driven Back” by Jesse and Noah (Bellamy – yep more Bellamy brothers) of Franklin, Tennesse. This isn’t the first I’ve heard from the brothers, but it is definitely the best yet, and that’s saying something. I really don’t know how to classify the record, […]

Billy D and the Hoodoos’ “Something’s Wrong” is good Voodoo
From the first note I was enthralled with “Something’s Wrong”, the latest record from Billy D and the Hoodoos (Creative and Dreams). It’s been a long while since I was able to get excited about a “bluzy rock” artist, but this was a great surprise! I have to thank Rose at C.D.M.N. for lots of […]
Walking for Pennies will be walking with pockets of cash.
Andy Jobe (vocals, guitar) and Neeley Bridges (vocals, mandolin) of Walking for Pennies have just released their debut, “Forget about Wonderland” and it fraggin’ rocks! I’ve been blessed to hear a lot of great tracks lately, but here I am at midnight penning a review on a record – when I have to be up at […]
Come Into My Kitchen and Meet David Vella
David Vella originates from Chicago, Illinois but this man has done a little bit of travelin’ in his time. David once was the lead singer, guitarist, and songwriter for Satya Graha which released their first album on Ardvark Records in the UK. After Under the Skin released in 2003, the band split ways. David decided […]
Hit The Open Road With Deanna Cartea
Roll down the windows, turn up the stereo, and hit the Open Road with Deanna Cartea. Blurring the lines between folk, rock, and pop, Ms. Cartea delivers an alt-rock-country sound that you can’t help but enjoy. Think Joni Mitchell meets Feist in the beautiful country known as the Sunshine Coast of British Columbia. If you […]

Murfreesboro’s Troubadour – Uncle Don Clark
Whatever Works is now available. Stop lolly gaggin’ around and go get it. A group of friends gathered at The ‘Boro one sunny spring afternoon in 1991. The buzz amongst them was “Uncle Don, Uncle Don!” I had not been in Murfreesboro long, and had yet to meet Mr. Clark. I recall thinking “Who is […]
