Moonshiner and Bridge To Gaia are two previously unreleased gems, and the former which we … Continue reading Kevin Morby – Moonshiner
Tijuana Bibles mix grunge-based riffs, groove laden rhythms and heavy traces of swampy Louisiana blues. They sit somewhere between Black Sabbath and the Black Keys… We posted a free download of their fierce track Toledo last year and now they are back with a new single Ghost Dance taken from forthcoming EP, Ghost / Dance / Movement, both of which get a digital release on the 4th September. … Continue reading MM Shorts 758: Tijuana Bibles
Back in the 1980s when I first moved out of home and into a shared house, our days and nights were soundtracked for a long time by the wonderful Ted Hawkins. Largely overlooked in the States, he became hugely popular overseas later in his lifetime, but now, Cold and Bitter Tears: The Song of Ted Hawkins, (out on 23rd October on Austin-based Eight 30 Records), marks … Continue reading (At Last) A Ted Hawkins Tribute Album
The pensive and drifting combination of hazy, wistful guitars and crooning vocals define Table Talk, the leading cut off of Grand Courriers debut self titled EP (out August 24th). It is a lovely warm blend of Americana and indie rock that gives an expansive, cinematic feel and is well worth some listening time below. . Continue reading MM Shorts 756: Grand Courriers
We’re loving this track, City Of The Angels from Elyse Weinberg’s previously unreleased 1969 album Greasepaint Smile. It was the planned follow up to her well received debut Elyse, but due to financial difficulties at the label it never saw the light of day and as the 1960s were closing their doors, the bright lights began to dim and she quietly walked away. Informed by her astrological study … Continue reading Elyse Weinberg – Greasepaint Smile

Small town prairie life is the heart and soul of Brady Enslen‘s music. His songs and lyrics embody the nostalgic simplicity of growing up in rural Alberta; his steady-going guitar playing and accessible melodies create a backdrop for lyrics that are honest and meaningful. Debut album Beautiful Things is songs from the road, of love and innocence, trains, geography and whiskey. Have a listen to lead … Continue reading MM Shorts 755: Brady Enslen
We loved Kyle Cox’s recent cover of the Rolling Stones’ classic Sympathy For The Devil and now he is shortly about to release a new EP that collects up some of his B-sides. The first single from it, which he describes as “real ethereal and sombre with a big build at the end“, is called I Ain’t Been Lonely, Until I Met You. Listen below. .

Salt As Wolves, the title of the new album from Jeffrey Foucault is a line from Othello describing boldness; a fitting title to frame a record of blues played bold and loosely, without rehearsal or cant. With his fifth collection of original songs Foucault continues to quietly build a deep, resonant catalogue of songs about love, memory, God, desire, wilderness and loss. The first track available … Continue reading New Album From Jeffrey Foucault
