Album/Single Reviews

At long last! The new album ‘Wild Blue (Part I)’ from Hunter Hayes is out today, five years after his last full-length project. Hunter surprised fans with an announcement on the Today show earlier this week; an interesting strategy in terms of album promotion. We’re so used to the two […]

Isn’t it a wonderful thing when expectation and reality collide in a song. When Kip Moore began teasing earlier in the week that some new music was on the way, a whole subset of the internet began to get those tingles and feels!! After all, new music from one of […]

Arkansas native, Justin Moore’s fifth studio album, produced and co-written by Jeremy Stover, and Moore and Stover’s select team of collaborators and cohorts sees Moore swinging back around to a more traditional sound after the experimentation of his previous album, ‘Kinda Don’t Care’. The paradox for Moore is that whilst […]

Lucky, Revisited is the fourth studio album from Karen Jonas but it contains nothing new. It’s neither a live album nor a ‘best of’. Instead, she has re-recorded nine of her own compositions and two covers to demonstrate how her relationship with her songs has developed. Some of the new […]

‘Beyond The Ranch’ is a really intriguing project from new Australian group Saltbush Six, fronted by UK fan favourite and British CMA Male Vocalist Of The Year, Darcy Crawford.

The UK has become a second home for Sarah Darling in recent years. No stranger to our shores, she’s played a number of times at C2C, built a solid fan base that allows her to headline her own tours, and even has an appearance at Nashville Meets London this summer. […]

Since Tim Prottey-Jones’ time with The Wandering Hearts, you probably will have seen a lot of him on social media, collaborating with a whole bunch of talented UK artists for production and song writing sessions. It’s great to see him continuing to have such a big involvement in the industry, […]

Few would dispute how today’s relentless 24 hour news cycle can wear anyone down. Always connected, coming from all directions the babble never stops and it can be addictive. If any of that strikes a chord then Lukas Nelson has a suggestion; turn it off and take up gardening. And […]

This has been without doubt one of my most-anticipated releases of 2019 – the debut album from Runaway June, ‘Blue Roses’. Naomi Cooke, Hannah Mulholland and Jennifer Wayne emerged back in 2016 with the super-catchy ‘Lipstick’, and followed it up with the stunning ‘Wild West’, which is when we really […]
