REVEW: Douglas Wayne “Coyote”

April 23, 2022April 26, 2022Christine Steele1

Douglas Wayne — Coyote Singer songwriter Douglas Wayne, aka DW’s debut album Coyote sounds more like a collection from a seasoned songwriter than a first album. And that’s because it is.

January 19, 2022January 19, 2022Christine Steele0

Janis Ian — The Light at the End of the Line The legendary songwriter Janis Ian never shied away from tough subjects in her songwriting and her latest album is no exception.

Jason Boland

REVIEW: Jason Boland and the Stragglers “The Light Saw Me”

December 9, 2021December 8, 2021Christine Steele0

Jason Boland and the Stragglers — The Light Saw Me While many singer-songwriters went internal with their songwriting during the pandemic, digging deep into emotions surfaced from time away from the road, Jason Boland went external —extraterrestrial, even.

REVIEW: David Tribble “Golden Junk”

November 8, 2021November 8, 2021Christine Steele0

David Tribble — Golden Junk Texas singer-songwriter David Tribble’s new album, Golden Junk, is full of honest, beautiful, songs that draw you in and have you listening to them again and again.
