Album review : SON OF MAN – Gaslight
…o figure, strings and acoustic guitar intro sounds like a film soundtrack, until it’s ripped asunder by another Page style riff. It’s framed by Celtic guitar tone and a choral drenched wall of sound which has an eerie Micky Jones quality. Not a bad ghost to have in the machine. Marco James’s concluding piano coda is the perfect finish to an album you will want to revisit. **** Review by Pete Feenstra Featured Artist: JOSH TAERK Since early 2020 J… Continue reading

…cordings section and altering his original opinion in places. Hindsight is a fine thing and demonstrates the “permanence” of the printed page and the need for accuracy versus online material which can easily be amended. ***1/2 With the passing of David Crosby in 2023 we can take a fresh look at his early band The Byrds with Andy McArthur. The band’s jangly, commercial psychedelic pop gave way to country/roots rock and influenced… Continue reading
