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 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

Gretchen Peters- Dancing With The Beast review
Gretchen Peters Dancing With the Beast Scarlet Letter Records I’m a fan of Gretchen Peters, and have been from the first time I heard “On A Bus To St. Cloud” more than two decades ago. Not an ardent enthusiast as I am for others—Del McCoury, Steve Forbert, Kirsty MacColl, The Go-Go’s—perhaps, where I keep/kept up… Continue reading Gretchen Peters- Dancing With The Beast review
Favourite Roots Albums of 2017, so far
School ended two weeks ago, and I have been able to take the last week to relax, read, and listen—a great start to this summer. It appears that almost every online outlet has released their ‘best of 2017 (so far) list,’ so I figure I might as well get in on the action. If nothing… Continue reading Favourite Roots Albums of 2017, so far
Brigitte DeMeyer & Will Kimbrough- Mockingbird Soul review
Brigitte DeMeyer & Will Kimbrough Mockingbird Soul http://www.brigittedemeyer.com http://www.willkimbrough.com Let’s be straight: I don’t like Will Kimbrough. Will Kimbrough is just too talented and inspiring. I know it is irrational jealousy as I have no musical talent, and I am sure I am better at a couple things that Kimbrough is—not much market for ability… Continue reading Brigitte DeMeyer & Will Kimbrough- Mockingbird Soul review
