As the days of 2022 draw to a close, I was inspired by a Twitter mate to reflect on my vinyl purchases of the past year. In the long ago 90s, I had way too many albums, and as storage became an issue I traded off and sold (both, too cheaply) boxes of them. While… Continue reading Fervor Coulee’s Favourite Vinyl Purchases of 2022

Fervor Coulee’s Favourite Roots Albums of 2019
My gosh, this was hard. How hard? Willie Nelson- Ride Me Back Home got bumped during the last week, and I had to decide Bruce Springsteen- Western Stars wasn’t a roots album. I reviewed 109 albums at Fervor Coulee (and elsewhere) during 2019, didn’t have time to review or chose not to review several dozen… Continue reading Fervor Coulee’s Favourite Roots Albums of 2019
Junior Sisk & Joe Mullins- Hall of Fame Bluegrass review
The best thing I’ve heard all week! An excellent bluegrass album- fluid and lively, without a hint of self-satisfaction.

Pretty Good for a Girl: Women in Bluegrass is almost excellent, and examines the long history of women playing the music some of us love. It is replete with fascinating stories and… Continue reading Pretty Good for a Girl: Women in Bluegrass review
The Gloria Darlings- Come Home To Me review
Long time, no write; what could have happened in the past two weeks? O, yeah…school started. Thanks to my friend Aaron at the Lonesome Road Review, The Gloria Darlings made their way to me last month. Man, their album is good- deceptively simple music that is fresh and invigorating. What I mean by ‘deceptively simple’… Continue reading The Gloria Darlings- Come Home To Me review
Scott Cook- One More Time Around review
My review of Scott Cook’s excellent new album, One More Time Around album is up over at the Lonesome Road Review. The album is available from Scott’s website, http://www.ScottCook.net as well as CD Baby and the digital services; I would hope it is available at finer Edmonton retailers such as Permanent and Blackbyrd. I’m told… Continue reading Scott Cook- One More Time Around review
Alice Gerrard- Bittersweet review
Alice Gerrard is one of the living legends of bluegrass music; combined with her decades of recording and performing old-time and folk music, Gerrard has a stout resume that is as varied and dynamic as anyone you can think of…sorry for the dangling participle. My review of Bittersweet, her new Laurie Lewis produced album, has… Continue reading Alice Gerrard- Bittersweet review
