Paul Cargnello: The Hardest Part Is You May Never Know Review

"On his latest 12-track album, released last November, Cargnello's teasing opening invites music brats from Boston to his stomping grounds in Montreal and all around the world to venture into his sonic enclave once more and surrender static genre classifications to fluid interpretations of musical pairings."

Hanni El Khatib: Moonlight Review

"On this bombastic follow-up to his 2013 sophomore album, Khatib invites listeners to dive into his signature garage rock style with lead single 'Moonlight,' a track full of the fuzz and swagger heard on Head in the Dirt and 2011's Will the Guns Come Out."

Davy Knowles: The Outsider Review

"Comprised of 11 official songs and two bonus tracks, the album pays homage to several of Knowles's influences, from his homeland ("Island Bound") to Woody Guthrie (bonus track "Pastures of Plenty," a Guthrie original). Featuring the strong vocals and expert guitar stewardship Knowles gained attention for through performances at popular American festivals like Coachella and Bonnaroo, Knowles's new album shows that, title aside, his music is prized among fans and attractive to new listeners."

Review of Davy Knowles's second solo album The Outsider, released independently in late 2014.

Altered Five Blues Band: Cryin' Mercy Review

"Altered Five have fun with their music: they maintain strong rhythms and stick to a contemporary blues sound, but rules of form and sound don't get in their way. Instead, Altered Five let their music evolve as they play, giving tracks like 'Counterfeit Lover' and 'Who's Your Lover' a live feel."

Review of Altered Five Blues Band's third album Cryin' Mercy, released October 2014.

JW-Jones: Belmont Boulevard Review

"The emotion present on 'Coming After Me' and the impressive soloing on 'Watch Your Step' make these tracks two of Jones's best, though 'Magic West Side Boogie' and 'Cocaine Boy' are also remarkable for the fun-loving and somber intensity they alternately provide."

Review of Belmont Boulevard, released in October by Canadian bluesman JW-Jones.
