Son Volt: Sound Signal Serenades

Read "Sound Signal Serenades" reviewed by Doug Collette

by Doug Collette

With the purposefully under-the-radar release of Son Volt's Sound Signal Serenades--which was not originally issued on Record Store Day in April 2026--long-time (long-suffering?) fans of Jay Farrar may be subject to raging cases of the “what if"s. In the early days of soon-to-be alternative country icons Uncle Tupelo, the St. Louis native was the chief songwriter ...

Danielle Nicole: Fireflies

Read "Fireflies" reviewed by Doug Collette

by Doug Collette

It does not in any way disparage the efforts of bassist/vocalist Danielle Nicole or her fifth full-length album, Fireflies , to state that guitarist Luther Dickinson's sole appearance on these eleven cuts, during “Take Me Back," is the flashpoint of the long player.  The co-founder of the North Mississippi Allstars has made a career of reconfiguring ...

Wesley Stace: One Last Heist

Read "One Last Heist" reviewed by Doug Collette

by Doug Collette

With the title of One Last Heist so closely juxtaposed with the album's cover image, the acerbic expression on Wesley Stace's face says it all. Or it might if this were not the same iconoclast who distinguished himself from the likes of Elvis Costello and Graham Parker back in the New Wave/punk heyday of the late ...

Matt Choboter: Visceral Totems: Improvisations for Microtonal Prepared Piano

Read "Visceral Totems: Improvisations for Microtonal Prepared Piano" reviewed by Doug Collette

by Doug Collette

Conceived and executed as an extended aural narrative performed on a custom-built microtonal prepared piano, Matt Choboter's Visceral Totems: Improvisations for Microtonal Prepared Piano radiates an orchestral  air from its very inception via “Prologue."  Intentional or not, the tones recall those of a child's music box, the plucked nature of which complements those bell-like ...

Luca Benedetti: Slow Down For Turtles

Read "Slow Down For Turtles" reviewed by Doug Collette

by Doug Collette

Guitarist/composer Luca Benedetti is emerging from the same hallowed Brooklyn community that has nurtured the alchemy of Medeski Martin & Wood as well as the chameleonic likes of his fretboard peer Will Bernard.  The winsomely titled Slow Down For Turtles, Benedetti's third album with bassist Tony Scherr and drummer Tony Mason, is an object ...

Christian Parker: American Cosmic Revival Vol. 2: Miles From Nowhere

Read "American Cosmic Revival Vol. 2: Miles From Nowhere" reviewed by Doug Collette

by Doug Collette

Cover bands abound within contemporary music circles, both on stage and in the studio. But a chosen artist's interpretation of the songs and music of another rarely matches (and never exceeds) the authenticity of spirit displayed by Christian Parker and those kindred spirits with whom he has been collaborating in recent years on the esteemed canon of ...

Peter Parcek: Most Of The Time

Read "Most Of The Time" reviewed by Doug Collette

by Doug Collette

The contemporary blues community is densely populated with posers long on affectation and short on authenticity. Not so Peter Parcek for whom the blues carries truths that resonate in such a deep and abiding way that his own musical articulations, plus those of kindred spirits within and without the genre, become expressions straight from the heart ...

Michael Falzarano: Sunrise Over The Unknown

Read "Sunrise Over The Unknown" reviewed by Doug Collette

by Doug Collette

With various and sundry activities spanning the continental United States, from Woodstock to San Francisco and in between, guitarist-songwriter Michael Falzarano is something of a master of space and time.  Such rarefied status thus renders the title of Sunrise Over The Unknown perfectly appropriate. The album is as full of promise as accomplishment, a ...

GA20 with Charlie Musselwhite: Blues Now

Read "Blues Now" reviewed by Doug Collette

by Doug Collette

The contemporary blues community is densely populated with posers long on affectation and short on authenticity. Not so GA20 or Charlie Musselwhite, for whom the blues speak truths that resonate in such a deep and abiding way, their respective musical expressions become truly personal statements.  Boston-based trio GA20--fittingly named after a vintage Gibson amplifier--have ...
