News: Albums Of The Month (October – December 2023)

HANFORD FLYOVER - Source

HANFORD FLYOVER Source (Fruits De Mer Records)

There are several bands operating in the psych/blues rock space and female fronted such as Dead Feathers and Blues Pills, and even label mate Crystal Jacqueline. But Hanford Flyover are less late sixties Jefferson Airplane and arguably of even wider appeal.
****1/2

Review by David Randall

Robin Trower - Joyful Sky

ROBIN TROWER with SARI SCHORR Joyful Sky (Mascot)

‘Joyful Sky’ reaffirms the qualities of a truly great guitar player who delivers enough quality songs for Sari Schorr to transform them into a slice of mature, groove laden rock- blues. ****

Review by Pete Feenstra

Trevor Rabin - Rio

TREVOR RABIN Rio (InsideOut Music)

‘Rio’ may have been an album with one of the longest gestation periods in the history of rock, but Trevor can be rightly proud of the results. ****

Review by Dave Wilson

Ann Wilson & Tripsitter - Another Door

ANN WILSON & TRIPSITTER Another Door (Dualtone)

Ann Wilson shows no signs of slowing down, either creatively or touring wise. An album of quality musicianship and songwriting, perfect musical escapism. ****

Review by Jason Ritchie

CARE OF NIGHT - Reconnected

CARE OF NIGHT Reconnected (Frontiers)

(Calle) Schonberg takes the fragile quality of the lyrics and amplifies the emotions.

His voice is electrifying at times. He never under-commits. Even on the rockier tracks, like ‘Follow Through’ and ‘End Of A Chapter’, every word, every line is delivered with conviction.  ****1/2

Review by Brian McGowan

Will Pike - Under A Delphic Moon

WILL PIKE Under A Delphic Moon (Indie)

There’s never a wasted note and tone colour is sacred. Each musical element finds its space in an ethereal musical journey that spans space-rock, ambient-rock, prog, funk, fusion, psychedelia and electronica. ****
