Sep 14, 2011, 10:57am Small Town Romance
The Jim Sullivan Story
Jim Sullivan's UFO album from 1970, is beautiful and ridiculously overlooked at the same time. It's one of these classic singer/songwriter, nicely orchestrated, beautifully produced, nothing too fancy, just in the right flavor. Sullivan was quarterback, when he was young, ... Continue reading

Sons of Champignon @ Angel City Jazz 1/5 revised
I already mentioned how much and why I love Nels Cline so much. So I won't go into this again. However I do believe that a new album by the maestro of electric guitar, who knows how to fusion jazz, ... Continue reading

Primitive Guitars by Phil Manzanera

Aug 15, 2011, 5:13am Small Town Romance
Phil Manzanera, whom I just wrote about couple of days ago, is a fascinating musician in my opinion, and the term 'rock guitarist' does injustice to his creative mind. I see him more as sound sculpture, that though he holds ... Continue reading

Glenn Jones Can Never Fail

Aug 7, 2011, 3:36pm Small Town Romance
Glenn Jones has a new album out, titled The Wanting. Not many albums can send such an excitement through my body, like a new album by Glenn. Glenn Jones is often treated as the torch barrier of the music of John Fahey and Robbie Basho. This is somewhat true because Glenn is obviously influenced by [...]

Jul 8, 2011, 12:31am Small Town Romance
Matt Baldwin's 2008 Paths of Ignition was released back in 2008 and became a critic's favorite. The album, was a festive march in the American Primitive paths, original, bright and enjoyable. Julian Cope wrote about him in Head Heritage that he sounds like a one man heavy metal band. Cool. Three years later, the west [...]
