Years from now, when we consider the best roots albums of 2021, we will have great memories. The second year of COVID allowed artists to release music recorded either prior to the pandemic or that which was created in trying circumstances. It was a year of breakthroughs for many wonderful artists, and even a breakthrough… Continue reading Fervor Coulee’s Favourite Roots Albums of 2021

Fervor Coulee’s Favourite Bluegrass Albums, 2021
Each year since 2000, I have been pleased to consider the finest roots music as part of this journey I’ve been on as a reviewer of CDs (then) and (generically now to include downloads and vinyl) albums. It has been a lot of work over the years, and my passion for roots music has only… Continue reading Fervor Coulee’s Favourite Bluegrass Albums, 2021
Not Fervor Coulee’s Favourite Roots Albums of 2020
These twenty-ish albums DIDN’T make my Top 30 roots albums of the year; still, a mighty stout list, me believes. I could spend a very satisfying weekend listening to nothing but these albums. Links to the original reviews included. Bubbling Under- honourable mentions, in no particular order: Victor Wainwright & the Train- Memphis Loud Ashley… Continue reading Not Fervor Coulee’s Favourite Roots Albums of 2020
Fervor Coulee’s Favourite Bluegrass Albums of 2020
This year I decided to limit my Favourite Bluegrass Albums of the Year to ten titles; not only is that a manageable number, it was a place where I noticed a natural break between albums I listened to repeatedly and those that I quite enjoyed but didn’t return to after reviewing. The following didn’t make… Continue reading Fervor Coulee’s Favourite Bluegrass Albums of 2020
Fervor Coulee’s Favourite Roots Albums of 2020…so far
As the first half of 2020 comes to a close (and thank criminy for that) and inspired by Exclaim! magazine’s request that I participate in their ‘top albums of the year…so far’ project (shocker: none of my albums made their list, and I even eliminated the bluegrass albums because I knew there was no point),… Continue reading Fervor Coulee’s Favourite Roots Albums of 2020…so far

Big Country Bluegrass & Della Mae reviews (revised)
My previously published reviews of Big Country Bluegrass http://www.countrystandardtime.com/d/cdreview.asp?xid=6899 … & Della Mae http://www.countrystandardtime.com/d/cdreview.asp?xid=6898 … have been slightly revised & picked up for publishing at Country Standard Time. I suspect both of these will be on my ‘year-end’ lists.
The Wooks- Glory Bound & Della Mae- Butcher Shoppe EP reviews
Glad to have had two reviews published at Country Standard Time this week. The Wooks’ Glory Bound was released in the autumn of 2018, but was only assigned and sent to me this month. What a set! I am not sure exactly how many times I listened to the album during the week I was… Continue reading The Wooks- Glory Bound & Della Mae- Butcher Shoppe EP reviews
Della Mae- Della Mae review
Della Mae- Della Mae (Rounder) I’ve been playing this album regularly for the past few months, but couldn’t figure out what to write about it considering the number of quality reviews that have been published. But, once more into the breach…it is my vocation, after all. Della Mae is the quintet’s third album, and features… Continue reading Della Mae- Della Mae review
