On one of his most guitar driven solo efforts yet, Lee Baggett once again proves he’s the Pacific Northwests most relaxed virtuoso (and boy is competition stiff.) I don’t know if Jorma Kaukonen can surf but this is what it would sound like if he did. […]
BASIC is a new trio from guitar luminary Chris Forsyth and longtime collaborator Nick Millevoli named after the amazing Robert Quine album of the same name (which Chris waxes poetic about in this 2019 interview on the blog RSTB.) Angular but deeply structured jams with a […]
A wonderful collaborative album between the legendary American psych collective Sunburned Hand of the Man and Finnish krautrock band Circle. Like the finest krautrock (and pretty much every album by any self styled collective,) they jammed live to tape for hours and hours before cutting it […]
This is a live record of a concert on December 23rd, 2023, by the guitarist Hayden Pedigo. It’s a home town Christmas concert, an emotional full circle moment for the man from Amarillo and is his first live album after a decade of consistently brilliant studio […]

On this new record “Goodbye Till I Do Good By You” Blaine Todd dives headfirst into cosmic country taking a half step back from his earlier more ambient Americana vibes, and sets a new high-water mark for the genre. The Blaine Todd sound is higher and […]
I’ve loved this band since seeing them a couple times in spring of 2024- first opening for the inimitable Brian Jones town Massacre and again at my favorite place on earth, Treefort Music Fest. This new record of theirs really captures the fresh young energy they […]
One of the most well kept secrets of early 70s jazz rock is definitely Madura, a band which released only two albums of sublime jazz rock, s/t and II, respectively from 1971 and 1973 (and it must be said that the latter one has one of […]
There’s so much character and creativity in this record by Winged Wheel. I have been enjoying it more than most of their experimental/kraut contemporaries and find it better than their (excellent) first record. Unlike their first record, 2022s No Island, their sophomore album Big Hotel was […]
