Year: 2008

Albums

Dropkick – Patchwork

December 24, 2008 Garwood Pickjon 0

The ink hasn’t even dried after I’d finished writing about fellow Scotsman Mr. D’s debut Wings & Wheels (read the review somewhere around these pages), and in comes the 8th (!? … I must’ve been […]

Albums

Rob Smith – Trick Of The Light

December 22, 2008 Garwood Pickjon 0

Compiling particular tracks from each one of Rob Smith’s albums would’ve made one hell of a Beatles’64-‘65 tribute album. Trying to be even more precise, I’d say that it would be like a Scott-McCarl-fronted-Raspberries-doing-64/65-era-Beatles kind […]

Albums

Brimstone Howl – Guts Of Steal + We Came In Peace

December 21, 2008 Garwood Pickjon 0

It might not appeal to the Howlers themselves if I say so, but I prefer their previous longplayer to the new one … so much that I was waiting for their gig here in Serbia, […]

CDS

Colin Hare – Down From Pitswood

December 20, 2008 Garwood Pickjon 0

If there’s only one Colin Hare solo release you’re allowed to choose, I say go for this one! He might’ve written some better tunes while riding the Honeybus in the ’60s, but then again, had […]

Albums

Doc Thomas Group – The Italian Job

December 19, 2008 Garwood Pickjon 0

A Pete Frame kind of a family tree would’ve probably been too branchy to be included within the already chunky booklet, and not to mention a 200+ word review, so to cut the long story […]

Albums

Buffalo Killers – Let It Ride

December 16, 2008 Garwood Pickjon 0

Seeing that the album was produced by Dan “owner of the Black Key” Auerbach, I expected it to be kind of bluesy, but this is a whole other approach. Mixing equal parts of late’60s and […]

Albums

Mike Badger – Country Side

December 15, 2008 Garwood Pickjon 0

Forever tagged as “The La’s founding member that didn’t stick around”, unlike the-other-one, Mike Badger keeps churning out all kinds of audio and visual arts on a pretty regular basis. Always steeped deep into the […]

Albums

Luke Jackson – … And Then Some

December 14, 2008 Garwood Pickjon 0

“Why not make an album with my favourite musicians on the planet?” was the question this Londoner and Svenska-pop aficionado asked himself. After years of virtual correspondence with former Beagle / Favorita band member Magnus […]

Albums

Freddie Steady’s Wild Country – Ten Dollar Gun

December 13, 2008 Garwood Pickjon 0

“Nashville touch, a British beat and a Texas feel”, as referred to in the press release, all happen to be present throughout most of Freddie Krc’s recorded output, but it’s mostly the Southern country flavour […]
