​Scott toured first through Europe with the message "Not My President" on his guitar strap.
A political statement with a real message. And that now also translates into these eight songs. Mickelson does not mince words and syringe unsalted his opinion. An opinion that we gladly share. His roots inspired voice and the tight backing are a constant in the song list. Rock and folk inspired songs, some bluegrass and even some Irish tunes. So, highly recommended release…!

​Third album from this American mandolin player, where he adds a modern touch to the folksongs.  Living in France gives him the freedom to explore not only the French language but also his own life.

You’re not gonna laugh with this folk album, but you will certainly be touched by the emotional load in the songs.

​Extremely beautiful folkalbum.  Hearttaking and heartbreaking songs, timeless and effortless.  Just lovely!!

​The songs on the album "Portraits" are a retrospective collection of songs from Ben's first three albums "Lincoln's Man", "Land Of The Shadows" and "What We Lost". Albums registered in the period between 2005 and 2012. Unfortunately they were never officially released in Europe. They are also three records that scored particularly well in the folk-based singer-songwriter, roots-related charts. Bedford is a songwriter in the tradition of musical icons such as Bill Morrissey and Woody Guthrie

Lost in heaps of shit…the excellent album ‘Breakdown On 20th Avenue South’  from folk/americana musicians Buddy & Julie Miller as a duo.  One of the best releases of 2019 and out on New West Records.  Do me a favor and listen, you won’t be disappointed.

​Based in Toronto, with indigenous roots,  Julian Taylor gives the listener a wonderful feeling of hope and familiarity.  Soulful folksongs right to the heart.

​No more words, only deeds.  Listen to John’s emotional and well balanced songs. We definitely gonna miss him.  Recommended!

​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.​
