Review Leading the new releases this week is Imelda May. 11 Past The Hour is hauntingly beautiful and I deliberately didn’t watch the accompanying video, as the lyrics immediately created my very own personal interpretation. Every song means different things to...
Review Bailey Tomkinson’s Silent Suffering is a perfect slice of pop/rock country showing UK country artists are creating their own authentic sound. It feels odd reviewing a song that has already achieved Number 1 in the iTunes UK Country single chart and the...
Review Abby Inez has a clarity of vocal that is absolutely beautiful. She is bang on every note, not under, not over, bang on. Since launching her singing career in 2014 (whilst holding down a day job to support her music), Abby started out in a country duo called...
Review Before Midnight is the latest single from Liverpool based trio Motel Sundown. Fast making a name for themselves, this is a beautiful and unique sound produced by Naomi Campbell and Karen Turley from County Tyrone and Robert Johnson from London. All...
Review Hallway #1 by The Nelson Brothers (that’s siblings Simon and Steven from Stafford not twins Matthew and Gunnar from California), is an enigmatic track set in Amsterdam. The notes from The Nelson Brothers state that this song was written from an old notebook...

Review If you need a song to raise the spirits and get you off the couch to Dosey Doe around the living room, then ‘Wherever You’re Going?’ is the perfect antidote to these times of struggle. If you were to imagine a massive hoedown party in Ireland, then this...
Review From the get go Midasville has a hint of the Leonard Cohen about it. It is melancholic and cynical telling the story of a forgotten town. In a world that has got so much smaller recently, confined to our own towns and homes and the feeling of isolation, the...
Review When Yola sings it’s like a masterclass in pitch, phrasing and finesse. But add in Brandi Carlile, Natalie Hemby, Sheryl Crow and The Highwomen to the mix and if it doesn’t hit the number one slot, something is seriously wrong. As a track, Hold On has the best...
Review Ready to Love is a well-crafted romantic, country pop song that will appeal to the masses and should secure Saint Eden’s place on the festival programmes of the future, as well as take them swiftly into the iTunes Country Chart. Sam Bradley (lead vocal,...
