Live Review: Dawes
Dawes || The Bullingdon Arms, Oxford || Sunday 15th July Unavoidable delays meant we missed the undoubted delights of Jonny Corndawg as support to Laurel Canyon’s Dawes, and by the time we squeezed into the back of a packed Bully, the main attraction were already taking centre stage. Still riding high on the acclaim for last year’s excellent Nothing Is Wrong release, which featured in many … Continue reading Live Review: Dawes
New Felice Brothers Record – $5 Download
At midnight last night, the wonderful Felice Brothers released God Bless You Amigo – a new ‘album’ of 20 songs (eight traditional folk songs and twelve originals the band have always liked “but never had a chance to put on record“) as a digital download from their website for a paltry $5 minimum purchase. They are adamant it is not a follow up to Celebration Florida, … Continue reading New Felice Brothers Record – $5 Download
More From Diamond Rugs
We are loving the Diamond Rugs album, the rowdy collaboration between John McCauley (Deer Tick), Robbie Crowell (Deer Tick), Ian Saint Pe (The Black Lips), Steve Berlin (Los Lobos), Hardy Morris (Dead Confederate) and Bryan Dufresne (Six Finger Satellite). The band has made another track off their raw, sweaty, dirty, rockin’ self-titled debut available for posting.

MM Shorts 187: Denver
Hot on the heels of Middle Brother and Diamond Rugs, comes Denver, the latest Americana ‘supergroup’ collaboration – this time between members of the wonderful Blitzen Trapper and Alela Diane’s Wild Divine. The Way It Is is the first song to be released from their forthcoming self-titled debut album, and a better slow-burn of dusty, country rock you’ll be hard pressed to find this side of Laurel … Continue reading MM Shorts 187: Denver
Time For Another Video Round Up…
Although we now have a regular Video of the Day post on Mad Mackerel, we still can’t keep up with all that we’re being sent and here are a few more of the videos we would like to have featured well before now.

Mad Mackerel Recommends…The Driftwood Singers
Weaving worn guitars, Autoharp, banjo, fiddle, mandolin and two hauntingly powerful voices and embracing a love for the Carter Family and a DIY punk ethos, The Driftwood Singers encapsulate an old timey era with decidedly forward looking and somehow timeless songs. They have announced a string of US summer tour dates. Download If I Take That Notion from their most recent 7″. Tour dates can be … Continue reading Mad Mackerel Recommends…The Driftwood Singers
Mrs Mackerel’s TFI Friday (6th July)
Well, Jesus may not want me for a sunbeam, but Beth Jeans Houghton has made me an honorary Hoof of Destiny. That tops all previous great life achievements, barring children/childbirth I think. I have been balancing on four coconut shells ever since, eating from a nosebag, rejecting my piscine ways and embracing the equine style. There are now plenty of flies on me, but none … Continue reading Mrs Mackerel’s TFI Friday (6th July)
