The Mother Hips

REVIEW: The Mother Hips “When We Disappear”

January 25, 2023January 25, 2023John Moore0

The Mother Hips – When We Disappear (Blue Rose) It’s almost cliche to cite the Black Crowes when talking about San Francisco’s The Mother Hips, but here goes. While the Georgia-based Crowes were playing Blues and Jam influenced Roots Rock to the masses starting in the early ‘90s – at a time when that music […]

Zach & Maggie

REVIEW: Zach & Maggie “The Elephant In The Room”

January 19, 2023January 18, 2023John Moore0

Zach & Maggie – The Elephant In The Room (Self-Released) Even three songs deep into The Elephant In the Room, the 10-song effort from husband-and-wife band Zach & Maggie, you’re still not sure what to expect as the album plays on. The opening title track, with vocals and violin supplied by Maggie sounds like a […]

Little River Band

REVIEW: Little River Band “Ultimate Hits” and “Masterpieces”

December 19, 2022December 19, 2022John Moore0

Little River Band – Ultimate Hits; Masterpieces (Universal Music) It’s a little shocking that it took the recent yacht rock rebirth, (the seemingly ironic, but in reality propelled by pure love, revival) to finally bring the music loving world’s attention back to musicians like Hall & Oates, Fleetwood Mac and Christopher Cross. But just as […]

Last Year's Man

REVIEW: Last Year’s Man “Time Is A Sparrow”

December 1, 2022December 3, 2022John Moore0

Last Year’s Man – Time Is A Sparrow (Self-Released) On his second release under the moniker Last Year’s Man, Tyler Fortier offers yet another beautiful sweeping folk album brimming with pain, heartache and ultimately optimism if you listen hard enough. The opening track, “Better Left Unsaid,” with his near whispered vocals laying over a mix […]

Caitlin Rose

REVIEW: Caitlin Rose “CAZIMI”

November 16, 2022November 15, 2022John Moore0

Caitlin Rose – CAZIMI (Pearl Tower Records / Missing Piece Records) It took seven years for Caitlin Rose to follow up her sophomore effort, but CAZIMI, her latest, proves the time off – though not intentional – did little to blunt her creativity. Across a dozen tracks, Rose excises her influences from Graham Parson and […]

John Fullbright

REVIEW: John Fullbright “The Liar”

September 28, 2022September 28, 2022John Moore1

John Fullbright – The Liar (Thirty Tigers) It’s been eight years since Oklahoma’s John Fullbright last put out a record and for fans it’s felt even longer. His sophomore effort Songs, released in 2014, was a stellar album from start to finish, and The Liar – his latest – proves he was just getting started. […]

Nikki Lane

REVIEW: Nikki Lane “Denim & Diamonds”

September 22, 2022September 22, 2022John Moore1

Nikki Lane – Denim & Diamonds (New West Records) While Nikki Lane hasn’t completed ditched the Americana world, her latest, Denim & Diamonds, is her most rock-centric record yet. The stroll into the rock lane likely comes courtesy of her producer, Queens Of The Stone Age frontman Josh Homme, who also played guitar on the […]

Mr Sam People People

REVIEW: Mr. Sam and the People People “People People People People!”

September 21, 2022September 21, 2022John Moore0

Mr. Sam And The People People – People People People People! (Free Dirt Records) There is something irresistibly endearing about the music from People People People People! the debut album from Mr. Sam And The People People. Cumbersomely playful title aside, the nine tracks that make up this record are uncompromisingly positive, making for one […]

Brittany Collins

REVIEW: Brittany Collins “Things I tell My Therapist”

September 1, 2022August 31, 2022John Moore1

Brittany Collins – Things I tell My Therapist (Self-Released) By John B. Moore The title of Brittany Collins’ first LP is more than just a smart quip. Based on the soul baring revelations spread across the nine tracks that make up Things I Tell My Therapist, Collins was definitely working through some personal issues here. […]

John Anderson

REVIEW: Various Artists “Something Borrowed, Something New: A Tribute to John Anderson”

August 3, 2022August 2, 2022John Moore1

Moore Over the past four decades John Anderson has sold millions of albums and managed to influence an entire generation of country and Americana musicians.
