Blue Water Highway Band – Medicine Man
I’m really excited about this new band. Blue Water Highway Band has their debut album up on Noisetrade, more on that tomorrow, and their particular brand of infectious Americana is exactly what we need to warm us up on this freezing cold February …
Mark Moldre – An Ear to the Earth – Experimental singer songwriter captures the past in song
[Note: This album is from 2013. We rarely cover albums more than a year old.] Not since I first heard Pokey Lafarge have I been so impressed with an artist’s ability to capture a bygone era. A bit of the 1930s in sonic …
The Lone Bellow – Then Came The Morning – The Only Folk Rock You’ll Need This Year
As any sports fan knows, the sophomore slump is real thing. A fantastic debut season followed by a disappointing second trying to live up the hype. But if you’re not a sports fan and you follow our site, you may not believe that …

The Lone Bellow – Slip Slidin’ Away
The Lone Bellow released a new album on Tuesday and I’ll have a review coming next week. It’s every bit the follow up to their self titled debut that we hoped for. It’s brilliant, but maybe not as beautiful as this cover of …
Duck and Goose – Swan Song – Indie folk duo just the way you like it
The male-female troubadour combo is as ubiquitous as Sonny and Cher these days, but that’s not to say they are all good. Duck and Goose are some of the good ones. From first listen you’ll immediately hear why their friends and fans put …
Bear Medicine–lofty, haunting, astral sounds from the hills.
I love when bands cannot be fit into a genre. When this one arrived in my inbox it said “rocksy, folksy, weird” next to it. After spending some time with this album, I can assure you that it goes way beyond that. There’s …
