​A bloody good singer-songwriter and a real storyteller.  American Folk with a lot of British influences. Love it!

​Nels Andrews’ stories seem to be more important than his music.  However, drift away on the Irish tunes of Nuala Kennedy and the landscape lyrics of Nels.

​Grant Dermody is from Seattle, but traveled to Louisiana to record this record. There he entered the studio with producer / guitarist Dirk Powell, with whom he also composed for his 2015 album 'Sun Might Shine On Me'. The duo Dermody / Poweel is joined by the rhythm section with drummer Jamie Dick, bassist Jason Sypher and his there are guest appearances by accordionist and washboard virtuoso Corey Ledet and Rhiannon Giddens. The sound embraces a lot of Zydeco and Canjun, just like a lot of downhome harp blues. Brilliant release ..!

​After the previous ‘Thistle & Thorn’ album I taught it would be difficult to improve.  But, how wrong could I be.  Lovely enchanting songs on his new birth ‘The Embers’. Strongly  Recommended!

​Jeffrey Foucault uses daily live for the most intense inspiration. Masterly transformed into melancholic songs. Great American folk.

​A fine voice, a lot of charm, full of intimate emotion.  A singer-songwriter pur-sang.  

Now he creates musical space for himself and this sweet project. The release appears on Karmanian Records. Thomas wrote a lot of acoustic songs. The acoustic guitar, piano and string arrangements and minimalist setting ensure an extremely pleasant timbre. The vocal harmonies run straight into the alternative guitar tunes. The songs are all quietly rippling roots and folk song. We don't find an outlier here, but there are no disappointments either. And that is already an art in itself. Hones tand delicious..!

​Traditional folk tunes from Sweden in classical arrangements.

​Beautiful debut from Swedish quartet with distinguished folkmusic. 

​Stephen Fearing seems to be a nostalgic and realistic crooner from Canada… but also full of talent.  

​The release "Moon & Mercury", the debut album by Madison Galloway, is a collection of thirteen songs. Elements of folk, rock, country and blues are combined with worldly music that creates an eclectic sound. Brilliant! 

​The album "Ride Again" was produced by Sjaak de Bruijn and is the successor of his solo album "Harmonium" from 2005, which was only released in Japan. The release was recorded in his home studio in London . Shawn is a multi-instrumentalist and gets help from pedal steel guitarist Joe Harvey-Whyte, Carwyn Ellis on keyboard and saxophonist Andy Ross and violinist Everton Nelson on a few songs. The opening song "Wichita" has been gathering dust for twelve years, so it was high time to finish the album.

​The Texan Bianca De Leon resides somewhere along the border with Mexico. With "Dangeous Endeavor" she wants to make a statement. The title track is here an example of how a desperate Mexican woman tries to cross the border. More contemporary is hardly possible in that American area. Binca has a sultry and mysterious voice that complements her lyrics. She is also an accomplished guitarist, who uses fingerpicking and flatpicking for her sound. Beautiful, captivating songs from the border regions of South Texas.

​The Monotrol Kid, the band around singer / songwriter Erik Van den Broeck delivers an extremely tasteful album with 'Exhale'. Erik wrote a number of beautiful Americana and folk songs and provided them with sublime arrangements, which resulted in a completely original sound. 'Exhale' is an album that is worth exploring!

​Fantastic album with virtuoso compositions of the great Mark O’Connor.  This is the real stuff: strings with a tradtional soul and a stunning rhythm.

Catherine Maclellan has the roots in her blood.  Great as a singer-songwriter. Wonderful folkballads.​

If you’re not feeling well, don’t listen. If you have a funeral in the family, suggest a song.  Pure emotion, in words and in music.

​What a great concert: inventive, spiritual and magically spellbounding.  Can’t wait to see and hear them live!!

​This album brings the sound of Hardanger fiddle in traditional Norwegian folk music. 

​“Enough!” was the latest collaboration with Eddie Seville and Karl Allweier. Steve is also joined by his Hard Road compatriots. Steve Mednick has recorded 15 CD’s  and published 191 songs, including his latest CD, “Enough!”. “Enough!” is a series of songs, including the first 7 which were inspired by and dedicated to the young victims and survivors of the Parkland Stoneman Douglas shootings of February 2018. His amazing sound is blues, counrty and great folky tunes. 

​Nice English sung debutalbum from French duo on acoustic guitar.  A honest scratchy smoked voice with some beautiful fingerpicking guitar parties.  But missing female backing vocals. Next time?

Alice Howe, realized with a profound respect for blues, folk and country a ten-track debut album.
Many original songs, together with some well-thought-out covers, create a very satisfying sound. The songs were produced by bassit Daniel ‘Freebo’ Friedberg. Alice Howe has a warm voice that is perfectly guided by heavenly colored instrumentation.

With this debut solo project Tim Buchanan will inspirate young musicians never to give up their dreams. There’s always a platform, a stage, a club,  where you can show your skills and your intimate soul.

​What a superb album: full musical richness and poetic lyrics. Autumn Of The World will definitely be the best folkalbum of the year!

​Boyish harmony vocals, folkie instruments and innocent lyrics.  Union Duke can turn a smile on your face and gives a good feeling when going home…. or to the next bar.
