Review: Michael Hosier – Take Our Country Back

Leave a Comment / Top Picks / Rebecca Morpeth-Spayne

Hosier goes patriotic with this single. An anthem for American pride and faith, Hosier’s deep, raspy voice provides the perfect amount of grit to this country rock track. Hosier’s voice alongside the distorted guitar and organ lines make this track what it is: absolutely, instantly re-playable. The Arkansas native gives it his all, with a

Allen is gearing up to release her third album ‘Eight Pointed Star’. The Americana artist comes back with a single that is a celebration of entering a new phase of life.

Review: Doug Schmude – Cavalry

Leave a Comment / Top Picks / Rebecca Morpeth-Spayne

‘Cavalry’ by name, cavalry by nature. Schmude explodes onto this EP with ‘Tumbleweed (Roll On)’, it’s a huge track that instantly makes an impact. Where Schmude excels is in the imagery of his lyrics, they paint a picture whilst his mixture of country, rock and folk combine to create a six-song EP with gusto. ‘The

Patton and Brokus are back! This time, the Austin folk-rock duo have brought 20 songs to ‘Big Red Gibson’. Patton takes on most of the vocals on this latest album, as Brokus has been struggling with allergies. As far as the pair go, it is a more rock than folk entry into their discography, but

Review: Cole & Ward – Blues And Other Truths

Leave a Comment / Top Picks / Rebecca Morpeth-Spayne

On their debut album, Cole & Ward introduce themselves most with ‘Deep Blood Moon’. The track features swaggering guitar, whilst maintaining a tongue-in-cheek charm that’s undeniably funky. As the bluesy piano comes in, we are completely hooked. When Cole & Ward are at their most playful, they’re also at their best. There’s something refreshing about

Hammond Dallas achieves the romance with this track. Combining together Americana and blues seamlessly, this track serves to highlight Hammond Dallas’ impeccable vocals.

Review: Abbie Mac – Dead Inside

Leave a Comment / Top Picks / Rebecca Morpeth-Spayne

Everything started off well for Mac on this track, with a big, semi-epic mix that melded seamlessly with her voice. The guitar lines are almost blended completely into the mix, so that they are nearly imperceptible, but they still add a shimmer here and there at the end of each line. Another victim of the

Review: Erin Duvall – One By One

Leave a Comment / Top Picks / Rebecca Morpeth-Spayne

This track sways too into the lane of musical theatre for us. It would be a good musical theatre song! As the Texas native singer-songwriter is clearly influenced by the likes of Janis Joplin and Shania Twain, with the rock and blues sound coming together with gospel elements. Vocally, Duvall is undeniably talented, but the
