Album Reviews

Since 1993, Germany’s Bear Family label has been reissuing rockabilly sides—and in some cases, unearthing previously unreleased gems—and to date, the series comprises a whopping 49 albums.

Review: an expanded reissue of the Beckies' only album, featuring Michael Brown of the Left Banke.

We can argue about the wisdom behind the decisions to induct—or not induct—various artists into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. What seems undebatable is whether its annual induction ceremonies have been musically memorable.

The Third Mind, a wonderfully anachronistic band whose music recalls the best of 1960s psychedelia, got off to a terrific start with its eponymous 2020 debut. Now they're out with their first live set.

Reviews of blues albums from Mark Muleman Massey and Tommy Castro.

Reviews: the Tasty Kings' obscure but excellent 'Native Tongue,' plus Dave Murphy and Massy Ferguson.

Vivian Maier's photographs prompted Walkate to compose this atmospheric, richly textured music. If it helps to further popularize Maier’s fascinating work, so much the better.

A new release pairs a historic recording of Erich Wolfgang Korngold's only symphony with a treasure from the family vaults: a performance by the composer of his piano transcription.

Wainwright's lines sometimes sound like ones you might hear in a therapy session. In fact, he released an album titled 'Therapy' back in 1989.

Nobody sounds quite like Hardwicke Circus, whose music exudes enthusiasm and emotion. Its performances are tight but, importantly, never overly polished or slick.
