​European americana shows more punch and emotion.  The Secret Combination take their time to compose decent songs that touch your heart.  Strong album!

​Dark and deep songs, but honest and sincere.  One of the best albums of 2020. Just love it!

​Don’t take the lyrics of Georg Altziebler for granted.  With few words he tells a whole (personal) story.  If you love Townes von Zandt, Bob Dylan or Tom Waits….Georg Altziebler follows in their footsteps.

​Six beautiful songs on Island Creek.  David Massey isn’t a prolific writer but he always impresses with immersive melodies and interesting stories.

​Emotional content from the inner soul, performed with honest skills.  Jano Rix and Brigitte DeMeyer forms the perfect duo. Keep it alive!

​I already miss the melancholic voice.  Apparently  ‘Whispers And Sighs’ appears to be his swan song unintentionally.  After all, a nice ending of a long and rich career.  Thank you David!

​And yes, we cannot really get out of it here. The Covid-19 pandemic also shattered most of John McDonough's plans. But inventive as he is, John used this time to optimize his guitar skills. The acoustic release 'Second Chances' consists of some of his favorite tracks from the albums 'Dreams and Imagination' (2014) and 'Surrounding Colors' from 2016. McDonough's fantastic and clean vocal style and guitar skills are central to every song. With a certain originality and that unbridled passion, John McDonough has delivered an acoustic masterpiece.

Amazing americana (folk)songs from The Netherlands: beautiful melancholic melodies and clever catchy lyrics.  Surprising!

​Every musician wants to show his own skills.  Josh Piché will convince a lot of women as a true ‘charm’ singer.  May I prefer his work with Irene Torres?

It’s never too late to bring beautiful songs to the public.  A landscape of american folkrock made early this century but musically rooted in the seventies. 

​Very recognizable intimate outpourings from Beth Lee's love life. Vulnerable and determined at the same time.

Giulia Millanta flies on golden wings with melancholy, reality and even modesty. A socially engaged woman who deserves to become famous.

​Fresh and intimate americana, worth listening the poetic lyrics. I really love the style variations  from folk to heavy blues.

S​oft, gentle and intimate.  A fresh duo in the mood of amorousness.  Challenge your emotion.

​In the past, Rick Shea has worked with greats such as Dave Alvin, Katy Moffatt and ‘Queen of Rockabilly’ Wanda Jackson. It is therefore not surprising that Shea packages his songs in the almost unbelievable mixes of genres. Rockabilly, blues, country and Cajun pop up with the regularity of a clock in 12 awesome songs. To discover!

​This album will appeal to fans of Americana, with hints of folk and country. The central theme of the album is love, that will help us overcome problems. 

​May I change the album title in Kiss Me Slow?  Deep emotional songs with a few beautiful duets from Peter Gallway and wife Annie Gallup.  They are made for each other.

​Ordinary Folks paints the hard live of people, the darker side of life indeed.  Nice to have The Pawn Shop Saints to confront us with this reality, gathered together around the campfire.

​What a beautiful sweet voice she has.  Jenny’s songs ask for the repeat button…I can’t get enough.  She is a great folk musician. Recommended indeed!

​If you like a combination of roots, blues and Americana, than taste this “water”. 

​With this exciting release we are about to drive away the winter blues! The Gulf Coast Records label is also coming up with a Christmas album, with many renowned artists. The release "A Gulf Coast Christmas" is a record that contains seven original songs as well as many cover versions. The combination of some traditional Christmans songs  and modern stories produces the most original Christmas album in decades. If you like blues, this is probably the best Christmas album for you. Put that stuffed turkey in the oven!

​Strong lyrics and a rich to the point instrumentation makes Train Stories one of the best albums of 2020.  Enjoy, enjoy, enjoy...!!

Ht Roberts new release "The Open Hum Of Things" is the successor to the successful "Stalemate Days" from 2017. We could already admire a lot of songs in his livestream show during this first lockdown. After some scraping and liquidate, Ht Robert recorded, together with Nils De Caster and Sarah De Smedt ten original songs. They went to the castle Laclaireau in the Belgian Luxembourg village Ethe and came home with a record full of nice listening folk music. The title track is like kicking in an open door for Roberts. Nils De Caster's gentle banjo gives rise to Roberts' rough voice timbre, acoustic strings and the sadness vocal styling of Sarah De Smedt. The tone has been set for a very enjoyable album!

​Three years ago, Nikki had her solo debut "Love Will Lead You Home" in store shelves. Followed by the singles "When Do I Tell Him" and “Where Luck Can Find Me” in 2018. Now she is proud to promote the record" World Is Waiting ", which will be released on the Blackbird Records label. The tight backing band, lots of stimulating guitar riffs and acoustic strings, and Nikki's soulful timbre are a constant for many songs. Rock, Americana, country and some blues are the main constituents on this record.What a beautiful and relaxed album is "World Is Waiting"…!

​As a singer songwriter, Greer often chooses to write songs about his personal experiences growing up and living on the Gulf Coast of Texas, near the Louisiana border. All this will ultimately also strongly influence him musically. After a first listen, his musical diversity and storytelling song lyrics are particularly striking. Greer went to Congress House Studio in Austin, Texas to collaborate with multi-instrumentalist / producer Mark Hallman and musical soulmates like Bradley Kopp (guitar) and violinist Richard Bowen. As an acoustic artist, he has a unique style that includes country, rock, Americana and bluegrass. Douglas Greer shares a lot of wisdom on his latest release "My Last Storm".. And for now, Replay please !
