Ciaran Lavery is not a musician to sit on his laurels. Just a mere few months after the release of Live at the Mac, a record preserving his concert at the venue in December 2015, Lavery has returned with a…

Album | Bob Dylan – Triplicate
Outside of seldom few this side of Lennon, McCartney, and Cohen, Bob Dylan is, among other things, often considered to be the greatest songwriter of modern times. Though his gritty, offbeat vocals may be seen as less than preferential by…
Album | Jay Regan – Wash Me
In the ever-expanding world of indie records that are far better than their cover art may imply comes Jay Regan’s Wash Me. Developed with an admittedly rather captivating swirly, 70s-inspired psychedelic center, Regan’s pasted-on logo and Arial font title prove…

The voice of Charlie Fink is a joy to hear, especially so in the current climate of political and social upheaval and troubles. Noah & The Whale were unfairly typecast after the success of ‘5 Years Time’, a shame, as…
Album | Karen Elson – Double Roses
Seven years have passed since Karen Elson’s debut record first wowed audiences with its blues-tinged ballads of murder and desolation. Unfortunately, this was a time where Elson met celebrity not for her music, but rather for the one she was…
Album | Joan Baez – The Complete Gold Castle Masters
Joan Baez is an artist who needs no introduction. Often lauded as the greatest folk artist to ever grace our planet Earth—and often sparking debate with Cohen and Seeger diehards who would argue otherwise—Baez has made a name for herself…
