updated on

Let’s get this out of the way. I’m a Swifty. This is the second track of hers that I’ve reviewed this year. I know that the media and the world at large tends to have a love hate relationship with her but that’s their problem. They’ll find someone else to love to hate eventually. Ms. …

Single Review: “Heavy Weather” – WLDLFRS

updated on

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 …

Single Review: “Sense Of Reality” – Lindsey Hinkle

updated on

This song is so simple… Just an acoustic guitar and vocals, sometimes that’s all you need. Lindsey’s voice just sits comfortably over this and it may sound a little cheesy but this is the kind of song I could just imagine someone sitting in a coffee shop and performing. You can have your stadium fillers …
