Show Review: Jeff Tweedy w/ Case Oates at the Mahaiwe
Jeff Tweedy w/ Case Oates at the Mahaiwe Performing Arts Center on October 30, 2026 The idea that one singular person could keep a sold-out venue entertained, amused, and at times spell bound all in one night with just a guitar and some well-crafted original songs is…

REVIEW: Feral Foster “New World Blues”
Feral Foster – New World Blues This is NY’s folk/blues virtuoso Feral Foster’s first album in 12 years. Some may not be familiar, but he was named Village Voice’s Best Folk Artist & has had a place in keeping the folk revival, roots & blues traditions active. The LP was recorded…

REVIEW: Dida Pelled “I Wish I Was A Single Girl Again”
Dida Pelled – I Wish I Was A Single Girl Again I like classic rock music, alt-country, singer-songwriter tunes, folk-rock, blues, (both modern & vintage). But what can be compelling is a generous dip into soft jazz – not the middle-of-the-road type, lounge or piano bar-type jazz…

REVIEW: Prinz Grizzley “Tilda”
Prinz Grizzley – Tilda While this concept album is, on the surface, an Appalachian folk/bluegrass showcase, it has a darker thrust, a deeper, dense musical immediacy. Prinz Grizzley shines on the unorthodox “Put Me Down (A Foreign Man),” that plays like a Tom Waits tune done by…

REVIEW: Abby Posner “Rest and Rise”
Abby Posner Rest and Rise Abby Posner made nearly every sound on Rest and Rise herself. She produced it, engineered it, mixed it, and played almost every instrument on it, including a cello banjo that turns up like a character in a novel. On a record about rebuilding a life that…

Music Reviews: Zombies Reissues, plus a Jimi Hendrix Concert and a Dave Alvin Standout
It’s a safe bet that many rock fans—even those with a penchant for sixties music—know of the Zombies only via their three Top 5 hits: “She’s Not There” (1964), “Tell Her No” (1965), and “Time of the Season” (1969). But as a recently launched reissue series makes clear, this…

Bentley’s Bandstand: October 2026
Bentley’s Bandstand: October 2026 Christopher Wyze & the Tellers, NAPTOWN BLUES. Sometimes the blues can use a major shot in the arm by those who toiled hard and deep, but didn’t quite knock it all the way over the fence. Leroy Carr and Scrapper Blackwell were hardcore…

REVIEW: Wasperjaws “In-Law Country”
Wasperjaws In-Law Country Wasperjaws is back, and, like the Avett Brothers did with Emotionalism, the band now has an album whose title names its genre: “In-Law Country.” What is “in-law country,” you ask? I’m not going to define it. I’ll let the album do the talking. What I can…

REVIEW: Lydia Loveless “Accolades”
Lydia Loveless Accolades Comparing yourself to your erstwhile peers is rarely a positive experience, and it’s something that Ohio-based singer-songwriter Lydia Loveless said they’d never do. Not only is the music business financially contracting at an alarming rate, but overall…

REVIEW: The dB’s “Cycles Per Second: US Tour 2024”
Cycles Per Second : US Tour 2024 by The dB’s on Propeller Sound Recordings This album is a dream come true for me. I 100% missed The dB’s until after they had basically broken up. I was a freshman in college in fall of 88 when a friend gave me a copy of their criminally […] The…

REVIEW: Zoe FitzGerald Carter “Chaos by Design”
Zoe FitzGerald Carter Chaos by Design Chaos by Design is the fourth album by singer-songwriter, journalist, and memoirist Zoe FitzGerald Carter. The album explores memories, connections, things we yearn for, and what we lose. “Writing the songs on this album, I found myself…

REVIEW: Joey Stuckey “King of Strings”
Joey Stuckey – King of Strings – EP This is Macon, Georgia’s Joey Stuckey’s final release. Instead of a new endeavor, it became an epilogue. A durable sign-off. He was only 53. It’s happened before; David Olney died between songs on stage & apologized to his audience before…

REVIEW: Mary Kaye Holt “Midnight Mustang”
Mary Kaye Holt – Midnight Mustang This is Ms. Holt’s 7th album, designed to paint a smile on the faces of old school country traditionalists. Her voice is pristine; her country accent is pure, & the music simply flows like a brisk cold stream over smooth rock. The songs were…
