Just as I was starting to think that songs about parenthood had said everything they needed to say – filed somewhere between sentimentality and well-meaning nostalgia – along comes George Collins Band with “My Tomorrow Is Already Missing You Today.” And, fair enough, it stops you in your tracks a bit.
A Lifetime in Motion – Bruce Rosenblum’s New Album “Never Too Late”
There’s something quietly disarming about the title Never Too Late – it reads at first like a reassurance, almost a slogan. But in Bruce Rosenblum’s hands, it becomes something much more reflective.
The album, released today, is the culmination of a long arc rather than a comeback story in the usual sense. It’s not about return so much as continuation: threads picked up, set aside, and finally woven together on his own terms.
Rosenblum’s path into this record is unusually layered, and that history is essential to understanding the music’s depth. He began studying piano at age six, and by his teen yeras was already writing songs and performing in the Boston folk scene in a duo called Yamakraw with Paul Chiten, later a multi-platinum songwriter and Emmy winning composer. The group played coffeehouses and colleges throughout the late 1960s and early 1970s, sharing stages with artists such as Livingston Taylor, Phil Ochs and Steeleye Span.
Interview: BOBBO BYRNES
There’s a certain kind of artist who never quite fits the industry mold. For decades, guided more by instinct than infrastructure, Bobbo Byrnes has built a body of work the long way around: through miles on the road, small rooms filled with shared breath and a quiet, unwavering commitment to the craft itself. His memoir, Too Many Miles, captures that journey in full.
Rather than chasing the spotlight, he’s created something more elusive: a career on his own terms. From self-releasing albums like My Affect Is Appropriate to navigating the false starts of industry attention, his story is one of experience over expectation. There’s a lineage here too: echoes of artists like Tom Petty, Kate Bush, and Bruce Springsteen, figures who followed their own compass rather than the market’s, and in doing so, built lasting deeply personal legacies.
Wayward Sparrow Releases “Wayward Sparrow” – A Sparse, Story Driven Introduction to Upcoming Album “Devil By My Side”
Detroit based singer songwriter Rich Clark steps fully into focus with the release of “Wayward Sparrow,” the debut single from his independent project Wayward Sparrow. The track is a well produced introduction ahead of the forthcoming album Devil By My Side.
Self-described as the creator of “whiskey lamentations and hymns of the hopeless,” Wayward Sparrow leans into the strength of stripped down storytelling. Clark’s music is defined by intentional sparsity, often built from little more than voice, acoustic guitar and an unadorned, atmospheric presence.
Beyond the Spotlight: Bobbo Byrnes and the Realities of the Touring Circuit
Despite spending more than two decades on the road, playing everywhere from dive bars to festival stages across the U.S. and Europe, Bobbo Byrnes has largely remained just outside the traditional spotlight. Which makes his new book Too Many Miles: On the Road with an Unofficial Rock & Roll Goodwill Ambassador feel not only overdue, but necessary. It’s a document of the kind of career that rarely gets written about, even though it represents the reality for most working musicians.
Too Many Miles casts a wide net, chronicling Byrnes’ evolution as a touring artist through years of constant movement. This isn’t a rise-and-fall story or a neatly packaged industry success narrative. Instead, it’s a long haul account of building a life in music the hard way: through house concerts, radio appearances, long drives and the word-of-mouth touring network that exists far below the mainstream radar.
George Collins Bottles the Spirit of Paradise on New Release “My Island Life”
Before we even get to the breezy groove and sun drenched sound of George Collins’s brand new single, “My Island Life,” it’s worth talking about something that seems to run through much of his music. That unmistakable sense of gratitude for the moment.
Collins has a talent for writing songs that feel grounded in appreciation, little musical snapshots of life’s better angles. His songs remind us that joy often lives in the simplest of places.
And with “My Island Life,” that joy isn’t subtle. It’s practically swaying in a hammock between two palm trees. From the opening line, “Under my mango tree / No place I’d rather be,” Collins paints a picture of tropical contentment that’s as vivid as a postcard from paradise.
“Palomino” – A Graceful Prelude to Todd Mosby’s Upcoming Album “American Heartland”
“Palomino,” the new single from acclaimed composer and guitarist Todd Mosby, offers a radiant first glimpse into the emotional landscape of his forthcoming album American Heartland. Whimsical, rhythmically buoyant and rich with personal meaning, the track stands as both a nostalgic reflection and a forward looking statement of artistic purpose.
Rene Lopez Digs Deep on “Goin Back To Lovin’”
Bronx born singer-songwriter Rene Lopez has never been one to smooth the edges, and his latest single, “Goin Back To Lovin’,” leans fully into that. Out now, the track offers a stripped down, emotionally direct look at what happens when the bravado fades.
Built on a gritty blend of outlaw country, Latin soul and rock & roll, “Goin Back To Lovin’” finds Lopez confronting his own missteps head-on. The song doesn’t shy away from broken bridges or hard earned lessons, but instead it follows the quiet determination of someone choosing to stop running and start rebuilding. The groove is not forced, and Lopez’s vocals are close and conversational, like a late night confession shared over a drink at a neighbourhood bar.
Eric Selby Finds His Flow on New Release “Five.”
I love records that feel familiar without being predictable. Some of the best music usually lives somewhere in that in between spot between comfort and curiosity, and Eric Selby’s new record Five. achieves exactly that.
The album’s opening track, “The Water,” sets the tone perfectly. It’s a song built on longing not just for a person, but for the calming pull of water itself. Selby has said that he feels most at peace on the beach, and here he captures that almost primal draw towards lakes, rivers and oceans. Deep, sometimes overwhelming, always moving. This is songwriting that doesn’t need to explain itself. Selby says about “The Water”:
A Call for Connection – George Collins Unpacks the Slow Drift in Relationships in ‘”Houston”
George Collins has always had a gift for writing songs that are quietly honest, the kind that don’t demand your attention so much as slowly draw you in.
His new single, “Houston,” might be one of the clearest examples yet.
Though inspired by a playful songwriting prompt about space, the final song is anything but gimmicky. Instead, Collins uses the language of space travel to explore the emotional drift that can creep into even the closest of relationships.
