Album Review: Robben Ford - A Day In Nashville
Highlights include Poor Kelly Blues and the sombre Midnight Comes Too Soon, which suits Ford’s guitar style and slightly awkward singing.

Album Review: Rogues On The Sea - Rogues On The Sea
They lie somewhere between Cold War Kids and The Black Keys with a dash of, dare I say, Coldplay.

Album Review: Various - Eric Clapton’s Crossroads Guitar Festival 2013
A generous host, at the end of the day, though you’ve got everyone from Derek Trucks and Gary Clark Jr to Earl Klugh and Los Lobos, it’s Clapton who remains the star. Even Keith Richards can’t upstage him.

Album Review: Rose Cousins - We Have Made A Spark
Finally, someone who can give Aimee Mann a run for her money.

Album Review: Steve Balbi - Black Rainbow
There is a joy in these songs that is a rarity in music these days. As Balbi says, “It’s good to be alive.”

Album Review: Ry Cooder & Corridos Famosos - Live In San Francisco
It’s a perfect time to get on board and enjoy the ride. Cooder gets better with age.

Album Review: Lisa Crawley - All In My Head
The wonderful thing about All In My Head is that this second album is a step in the right direction as the slight folk sounds merge into a more structured style

Album Review: James Iha - Look To The Sky
Compared to his first solo album Let It Come Down, released 14 years ago, this album is definitely more experimental and not as pop driven

Album Review: Perfect Tripod Australian - Songs
Taking the piss whilst paying homage is no easy task for any performer, but somehow the Tripod/Perfect foursome succeeds

Album Review: Travis - Where You Stand
Decent songs played with affection and nuances

Album Review: Glen Campbell - See You There
Campbell exudes love and understanding in this simple ballad and his true emotions are laid bare on the old hits.
Reviews / Album
Album Review: The Lone Bellow - The Lone Bellow
It takes a few listens to appreciate the depth of this album and a good sound system to hear the power of their harmonies.
