Americana Highways recently caught up with Lorenzo Gillis Cook of Petite League. The band’s fifth studio album Joyrider, released in January, is a delight on multiple levels. Imagine if Brian Wilson recorded Pet Sounds with just a guitar and Dennis. That’s pretty close to Joyrider. No kidding. Straight out of Syracuse, NY, and now making […]
Monica Sorenson has an amazing voice that sounds like no one else, but evokes great female singers ranging from the queens of early blues to mid-century rockers like Ann Wilson and Chrissie Hynde, popular singers like Cher and Dolly, and even jazzier voices like Ricky Lee Jones. Combine that voice with lyrics that embrace a […]
On January 15, Buck Meek released his second full length solo album, Two Saviors. My 20-something daughter, knowing my tastes better than I do, recommended I check it out. Now, my daughter has impeccable taste in music. Unfortunately, I don’t. So, I have only myself to blame when my initial reaction to Two Saviors was […]

On prior releases, but not the Joyrider album, he also did the art. Henry Schoonmaker plays the drums. Zeke […]

The project name, “Marjorie,” is the name of McMahon’s grandmother who owned the house in Mattapoisett, Massachusetts, where he wrote and recorded […]
On November 13, 2020, Mitch Dembin released his second full length album Nothing Up My Sleeve. From the opening piano figure (is it a Fender Rhodes?), you just know that this album is going give late Boomers/early Gen-Xers something to smile about. Perhaps more than any time since the advent of rock & roll, musicians […]
Thirty-five years ago this month, The Waterboys released the extraordinary album This is the Sea. It was the band’s third album – the make or break point for all the great ones, right – and boy did they make it. This is the Sea culminated Mike Scott’s “Big Music” period, a unique style featuring widely […]
