Beautiful Prince Edward Island, Canada (my mother's birthplace) is home to Haunted Hearts, whose 2009 disc Thank You, Goodnight is a winner. The disc was recorded at band member Mike MacDougal's house in Charlottetown. The band consists of Dennis Ellsworth (Singer/guitar), Mark Geddes (Bass), Mike MacDougall (drummer) and Johnny Ross (Piano/Organ). I'm a bit [...]
While recording, I came to the realization that a lot of albums are only self titled by the artist. What happened to the day when artists would name the album something catchy or even related to something within the album. The naming of an album is a lost art. Music in this episode: - Road AND Goin' [...]
Here is a disc I had in a stack for a month or so. Frankly, I can't even recall getting it in the mail and don't know who sent it. So I pop it in the car cd player and thought, "Wow, what a great sound. Who are these guys?" Turns out the band [...]
Most music lovers have some artists whose new music they will automatically pick up without ever hearing a note. Mike Farris is one such artist for me. I reviewed his stellar cd SHOUT! LIVE and a concert by him in the past year. When Mike is passionate about something, he is REALLY passionate, be it [...]
By day, John Stirratt and Patrick Sansone sell thousands of albums and tour the world as members of indie juggernaut Wilco, while lending their writing, playing and producing abilities to dozens of high-profile recordings. But by night these renowned pros are able to sit down, relax and create something special that comes straight from the [...]
Two of my all time favorite bluesmen are out with new discs this fall. Duke Robillard has just released Passport To The Blues while Ronnie Earl and the Broadcasters have just released Spread The Love. Both discs are on Canada's Stony Plain Records. The two musicians are linked by their past involvement in the blues [...]
One thing is for sure. If you spent any part of your youth in the Detroit area in the 70s then you have some Seger in your blood. His 70's live album Live Bullet caught Bob and the Silver Bullet Band at they're rockin' best in concert at Cobo Arena in Detroit. Many a fan [...]

Releasing three records in a span of three years is no small accomplishment. It is even tougher to create three successive records each with their own unique quality and sound. Justin Townes Earle has accomplished this rare feat with the release of Harlem River Blues. I recall from an earlier interview with Justin (I should have [...]
