about

Weekly Independent Music Taster #45

I'M GOING UPTOWN is the title of this week's compilation. It is dedicated to the brilliant Justin Townes Earle who sadly passed away last week, a brilliant and talented songwriter. I was a huge fan of his since I heard the haunting 'Harlem River Blues'. Rest in peace, Justin.

This week we have a number of old friends returning. The album opens with the unforgettable bluegrass revival of Nick Shoulders and the classic rock and roll of Joe Cotton. We also bring back the rootsy rock of Matty Simpson and the blues rock of Mr B & The Wolf. There is also the exciting inclusion of Monroe, keys and saxophone player on Brandon Flowers' Desired Effect World Tour, and Thousand Dollar Wedding who contribute their previously unreleased track, 'Pedal Steel'.

Plenty more too... Irish Americana from Denver McCord, a modern rhythm and blues retake from Staretz, and a blues rock explosion from Gary Ritchie. We then have the neo-alt soul of Anonymous Willpower, the German Britpop revival of Fountainhead, and the English folk rock of Ellis.

Alice & The Rainbow String Band bring us some progressive indie folk, The True Deceivers deliver some country and western, and The Satin Cowboy & The Seven Deadly Sins give us brilliant Americana storytelling. Justine Vandergrift continues the Americana theme, The Big Believe delve into some synthwave post-punk, and Goodbye Goni get expansive with some neo-psychedelic rock. To finish, we have the alt rock of Laser Tusk and the punk approach of Mr. Hanky.

Another far-reaching collection sourced from all around the world! Discover your new favourite band today.
