A/D Rocky – Ashton Davis

A/D Rocky – Ashton Davis – Album Review “Do not go easy but stay constructive…” Fuuuuuuck.  Show me ONE person that wants to be told how to do the job they do every single day. Anyhow.  “Life’s A Bitch,” as A/D Rocky would tell ya himself, so I suppose I gotta roll with it.  Love […]Read More

Katie Underwood – “Feel So Good”

Katie Underwood – “Feel So Good” – Single Review Ayyy…when it’s right, it’s right, you know what I mean? I am going to assume…given the name, given the promixity, given the sound of her voice…that Katie Underwood would be the same Katie Underwood that I learned about…hmm…nearly a decade ago now I suppose…back when I […]Read More

Etcher – Rhythm To The Spin

Etcher – Rhythm To The Spin – Album Review Interesting.  According to the notes I’ve got here, with the exception of the last song on this record, the rest of this lineup was “created and recorded outdoors underneath a 3 sided metal carport on the side of a mountain top glade in the Missouri Ozarks […]Read More

Lenny Williams – “Baby I’m Sorry”

Lenny Williams – “Baby I’m Sorry” – Single Review “I know you’re thinking, is it love or lust?” Well that’s good Lenny…at least we’re on the same page.

Garage T. Rashington III – Inauthentic Slop – Album Review Gather around the fire kiddies…lemme tell ya a story about a man that never was… It was way past late on a windy night in Oregon and the bar had just belched the finality of its contents onto the street, sending its blur of passionate […]Read More

The Real J Israel – Glass Half Full

The Real J Israel – Glass Half Full – EP Review What I can’t tell you about, is how things were working out when The Real J Israel was rocking within a more traditional type of Gospel music…all I can really vouch for is the path I hear he’s on now.  If I had to […]Read More

Simon Safhalter – One Level Deeper Than The Rest

Simon Safhalter – One Level Deeper Than The Rest – Album Review A musical shape-shifter, he most certainly is.
