Mia Wilks is back with a new single, and this one is a stunning acoustic number in 3/4 time. Having had Mia on my radar for the last year or so, I know that she’s very capable of multiple genres. She’s very thoughtful with her lyrics, and this is a case in point. “Don’t be …
Hello Riley how are you? I’m actually pretty well all things considered. Thanks for being so patient with me getting back to you on this. The fires here have been devastatingly surreal, but thankfully our firefighters and first responders have been doing an incredible job. Everyone I know and love is safe, which is the …
This track is bluesy, and I LOVE IT! You’ve got everything on here. They through everything at this track – is that a Jewish Harp??? Very possible. The guitar at the beginning starts off with a bit of a growl, I think I can imagine Eric Clapton giving a nod of approval and nudging John …
What caught my ear with this particular song is Freya’s voice – her tone is rich. It’s nice and deep, and touches the soul. I think that is intentional because of the content of the lyrics, this will cause a literal resonance within you to make you want to progress. What do I mean? Well, …
This song is one of those ones you’re supposed to have with your morning cuppa. It starts off with a cymbal swell, then Naima Girou comes in with this beautiful BEAUTIFUL vocal that for some reason really just made me smile. She’s playing her double bass and it fits in so smoothly. This switches from …
Oh my word. On first hearing this track I thought it was a long forgotten track from the 60s left in the archives of some studio in Memphis. The vocals are rough, and full of blues and soul, Ben l’Oncle Soul’s voice does not show his 41 years of age he sings with a power …
This is a great combination of jazz and acoustic soul. I’m all chilled out from listening to it and it’s setting my Sunday afternoon off perfectly. This is an acoustic led track with percussion, and I could be wrong but sounds like an acoustic bass plus keyboards. The harmonies are solid, nicely layered. What caught …
Congratulations on the release of “I Feel The Earth Move” how does it feel? I’m stoked that this is out! The band and I put a ton of work into it and it’s time for it to be out there in the world. It’s a track album of covers and originals what was …
This is pretty appropriate given that we are in that dull part of the year where it’s still dark when we get up in the morning, pay day is still a decade away, and it’s the winter blues. This song is a bit of a statement to say, it’s going to get better no matter …
This song came out in 1971, and I thought I’d revisit it. It was a song that was written in a time of turmoil – Vietnam War, the Cold War,, economic crisis and while World War II was long over, the message still needed to be heard. Earth Songs were being written to illustrate that …
