Russ Brown, hopefully - though you can also reference the list of bands I like up above for a close estimate. I like to think I share the same passion as my heroes if not the same talent :)
Hello, we're back again with great new tracks on our page. This month we have some rural bleakness from The Roe Family Singers, the dark intensity of Eamon Dowd, a new song from roots legend Neal Casal and frenetic but compelling from Novillero on the delightfulyl titled but not-at-all-smelly Paco Rabanne. Hope you like them all.
Hello and a Happy New Year to you. An eclectic bunch of songs new to the site this month. The frankly uncategorisable Icelandic band Storsveut Nix Noltes, the sardonic lyics (plus ukelele) of Dent May. some dark folk from The Deep Dark Woods and emerging US singer-songrwiter Israel Nash. Hope you like them all.
Hello. For our final update of 2008 we have a track from the wonderful Todd Snider, classic sounds from The Snakes, the spellbinding voice of Kate Campbell, the atmospheric Iguanas and some leftfield rock'n'roll from Slithering Beast. Merry Christmas/Solstice/whatever and a Happy New Year!
Hey Russ. Man I absolutely LOVE your new CD. It's one of my favorite. We have to get together so I can buy a bunch of them. I put a little review in my last blog. Check it out. Oh yeah, and start working on the next album.
Hey Russ, Are you going to come and party with us on the 19th?? As I understand it, there is going to be some great drinking arrangements!! Bring some friends as you're gonna love this one..Details to come....
I am of the opinion songs are like poker hands - if they don't get you excited, don't play them
