…When listening to this 'Time' is like hearing angels sing.

Talented siblings working their magic warms the sometimes frozen heart of reviewer yours truly. Joel and Ethan Coen, Walt and Roy Disney, Mark and David Knopfler (and many, many others) have left their mark on popular culture. Even squabbling couples (Noel and Liam Gallagher, Olivia de Havilland and Joan Fontaine) have made the artistic world a better place to be. Belgian examples? Koen and Kris Wauters of Clouseau, for sure, but don’t forget Sarah and Gert Bettens of K’s Choice. ‘The Phantom Cowboy’, their new album, is a major aural treat. Fast, hard, cunning, hungry, vivid, funny ... adjectives aplenty to aptly describe the record. No idea about the eventual evergreen status, but as of now ‘As Rock & Roll As It Gets’, ‘Private Revolution’, ‘Down’, ‘I Was Wrong About Everything’ and the title track score points in our book. ‘The Phantom Cowboy’ (the song) is the biggest surprise, a veritable country song that could easily be sung by Don Williams. ‘The Phantom Cowboy’ (the album) thus deserves all the praise it gets. The American release is scheduled for September. How will it fare overseas? We are just as curious as you are.

The eclectic musicality in this project is typical of Wille and The Bandits.

The release ‘The Jazz Giants’ is a killer of an album, but only for those who loves the postwar jazz…

Another excellent album made by musicians with an longterm career. Whether this is about well-known covers or material of Abrahams himself, their music simply sounds perfect. Another proof that music made by older –and superbe- musicians sounds better than those of the contemporary ones... and this without offending them. An insurmountable cliché.

Graham Gouldman is undeniably a fantastic songwriter, and he do not need 10cc or The Mindbenders to prove his point. Everything what's flowing out of his pen (or now keyboard) are songs that we must cherish completely simply because his music is so variable, nowhere boring at any time and each song tells its own heartwarming story.
A Richard Strauss or even a Beethoven amongst the rock music composers. Pure class!

With catchy songs, a twangy guitar and a slightly in echo drenched voice, Cuddy guides us on a fantastic way through all the faces of rock & roll.

On her 10th album singer-songwriter Annie Gallup proves that she is not only a great instrumentalist but also an artist who writes excellent lyrics about the things that keeps her busy. ‘Ghost’ is poetry put to music.

For lovers of blue-eyed soul, rhythm and blues and rock made in the 70’s in San Francisco.

This album cannot sound like one of their live shows, but comes close. A collective of talented musicians that sounds positive.

A collection of myths and muses from all over the world, now on techno and rock melodies. Difficult to categorise, but original.

Great Western folksongs from a fantastic musician

Instrumental Music that fuses jazz-rock with other influences.

Melodic country music on this debut from singer-songwriter Richard Schumacher. A must have for the diehard Americana and roots fan.

A diversified album with hip-hop and classical, but also some great smooth & contemporary jazz.

The third album in the ‘Dictionary’ series contains jazz fusion with wild guitar riffs.

Two albums on a double album, the first with only flutes and bass, the second with more musicians. Jazz fusion for lovers of Chris Hinze, Yusef Lateef etc

A new way of bringing Americana with influences of country, rock, surf and folk, brought by a more mature band.

A catchy country trilogy about the emotional ups and downs in a relationship!
