Dave Alvin- From an Old Guitar: Rare and Unreleased Recordings review

My review of Dave Alvin’s version of “Odds & Sods” is up at Country Standard Time. I reviewed a provided download; I am missing the days when YepRoc serviced me with their Americana releases. Some gems in that catalogue, and I do love my CDs and records. This is an interesting release; the music is…

“New” Dave Alvin album coming our way

Fervor Coulee regulars know how much I appreciate Dave Alvin. His set with the Guilty Women at my first Hardly Strictly is one of the best I have witnessed, made that more poignant by the death of Amy Farris the week prior. For most of the last decade Eleven Eleven was going to be my…

Chatham County Line- Sharing the Covers review

Chatham Country Line Sharing the Covers Yep Roc/ ChathamCountyLine.com Chatham County Line plays bluegrass for people who don’t like bluegrass. Well, not just them. Some folks who like bluegrass also enjoy the music of the long-serving Raleigh group, but their interpretation of the music isn’t for everyone. I’m pretty sure that somewhere in the Fervor…

Jim White vs. The Packway Handle Band review

I wasn’t sure what to think about this amalgamation, and after listening to the album once I still wasn’t sure. But, after three or four listens it started to work its way into me. I ended up quite liking the disc, but I don’t think most bluegrassers will feel the same. My review is up…

Dave Alvin- Harlan County Line

A few weeks ago I read that Dave Alvin was to appear in an episode of Justified, a television series I had never seen and had only heard of in passing. A bit more searching led me to believe that the series would be of interest- the setting was certainly an area of interest and the premise…

Chatham County Line- Wildwood

Several weeks ago, I was assigned to review the fifth album from Chatham County Line, Wildwood. Having previously purchased the album via download, I semi-forgot about the review. I listened to the album several times and somewhere in the back of my mind, I knew I was supposed to write about it, but couldn’t determine…

The Sadies- Darker Circles

This is an album I’ve been listening to for a couple months, but had no intentions of reviewing until Jeff at Country Standard Time asked me to take a run at it. It challenged me, without doubt. It is an album that is a bit overwhelming, but I managed to get my thoughts together after…

Carlene Carter- Stronger

This weekend I made the decision to revamp Fervor Coulee a bit, so you’ll notice a few tweaks. I also realized I hadn’t dug into the non-posted archive for a long time. I dug out this review of Carlene’s ‘comeback’ album originally published just before this blog was born. I’ll make an attempt to update…
