Resilient and enticing in the song’s most powerful moments, the beat in “Stone Cold” is at the impenetrable soul of the epic new single from Old Man Jack. “Stone Cold” blends elements of blues and old-school rock n’ roll to push out a plethora of textured harmonies inside of its seemingly short running time, but…

Canadian country singer, Lynne Taylor Donovan, has just released a new album titled Movin’ On. And no, this 10-song set does not contain that old Hank Snow country hit of the same name. It does include a set of strong country tracks, though. Some of these songs lean closer to pop-country. Not so with “The…
Chilled-out jazzy licks adorn Russ Spiegel’s spry, mid-century-leaning sounds of “Caribbean Blue.” Bossa Nova, Hard Bop, and everything in between they go for this gorgeous setting. The grooves are immaculate. Lyrical instrumentation adds to the lush, serene environment of the work. Never rushing themselves, the songs have this superb, languid pacing. Atmosphere matters as it…
Wabi Sabi is an inventive collection of musicians. Its album, The Love Insane, brings together eleven memorable rock/pop songs. The album’s title track is a slow-tempo-d song that sounds like a love song from the early days of rock and roll. It prominently features steel guitar, but it’s not a country tune. Instead, this instrumentation…

Phil Gammage’s album, Redeemed, is comprised of simple folk songs. Gammage sings these ten songs over mostly acoustic instrumentation, including saloon piano and lonesome harmonica. It’s a gentle, but honest, selection of songs. One called “Right On” has a title that reads like something out of the ‘70s. That was a phrase often uttered in…

An old-school hard rock style rages forth on Stays In Vegas’ stark vision of “Nevermore.” With a slight nod towards more gothic elements, they build the sound up into a wall of fury.
