Lady Antebellum Archives – Just Listen To This

A country act comprising six men and two women, produced by veteran helmsman Dan Huff – so likely of quality and interest, given his track record and history. The main chunk of writing appears to fall to Eric Holljes and Ian Holljes, presumably brothers.

Dan Tyminski

by Pete Sargeant | Nov 23, 2018

The American singer-songwriter is in London for the promo on his dark artefact of a new album. We meet Dan to get the lowdown on the project and he answers all queries in this conversation hinging on how songs communicate. Thanks, Mr T…

Darius Rucker – Straight To Hell (Single)

by Pete Sargeant | Sep 8, 2018

This new single stars Darius Rucker but also features Jason Aldean, Luke Bryan and Charles Kelley (from Lady Antebellum, no less) so quite an assemblage of stardom and talent.

Dan Tyminski – Southern Gothic

by Pete Sargeant | Jul 19, 2018

You have likely heard this man’s voice – Dan provided the George Clooney singing parts to the tongue in cheek country comedy film ‘O Brother, Where Art Thou?’ This new album gives a vivid sampling of his art, his composing talents and his approach to life, the world today and all its tensions.

Cornbury Music Festival 2018, July 2018, Great Tew Park, Oxfordshire, United Kingdom

by Pete Sargeant | Jul 16, 2018

A phoenix-style return to love for 2018 – and beyond – found us Cornbury fans trekking back to the middle of nowhere (aka the Tews) for more music and entertainment . And some winceworthy ‘comedy’..It’s quite Ok driving around this area in the day and we found the signposting somewhat better this year. At night, driving around is hideous, for a stranger to the area. Whatever the expenditure on facilities in this neck of the woods, it sure ain’t going on lighting!

Shane Filan – Love Always

by Pete Sargeant | Jan 3, 2018

Another album from the still young Irish singer and once again we have tuneful singing, a crisp delivery that still has warmth, clear production and professional arrangements. But once again, what’s missing?

Little Big Town – The Breaker

by Pete Sargeant | Sep 7, 2017

Well just look at those titles, readers – very Brian Wilson/Beach Boys, are they not ?
But this talented quartet (adding a band for touring) can play many instruments and all sing lead, so they have their own thing going.

Lady Antebellum – Heartbreak

by Pete Sargeant | Aug 27, 2017

These three characters and their band make very listenable music, with the occasional absolute gem.

Jesse & Joy – Jesse & Joy

by Pete Sargeant | Mar 9, 2017

Here comes Latin America’s much-favoured musical duo with their first dual-language album..the Mexican pairing have amassed a string of Grammys, No 1 chart hits and 1.5+ billion views on YouTube. They have put this album release together from their four studio albums so you could regard as a kind of Best Of…so far
