Between the barrelhouse , the organic acous- tic folk-pop, the all-out Americana, the sibling harmonies and classic Country-Rock, I have, indeed, waded waist deep and have come up totally refreshed. Produced by White Stripes producer Vance Powell, there’s even the kind of thought-provoking confessional lyrics that make this spectacular debut more than just a feel-good assemblage of well-worn comfortable clichés. There’s meat on these bones. Highlight? I’ve been playing “We Could All Die Screaming” for friends and neighbors just to see their reaction. Wholeheartedly recommended.” - Aquarian Weekly, 7/12/17

The HuffPost asks if Beth Ditto is the new Stevie Nicks “Beth Ditto has always been ready for her close-up, but now the fashion-forward singer is ready for a brighter spotlight, too. After years of churning out upbeat anthems which felt at home in both dance halls and punk clubs, today the former Gossip frontwoman is belting power ballads on her new album, Fake Sugar – and the vibe is completely addictive. The 36-year-old singer, clothing designer, and staunch feminist says songs such as “Love in Real Life” and “Lover” showcase another side of her voice – one she discovered after undergoing throat surgery while writing Fake Sugar. “Removing the polyps made all the difference,” Ditto says of the procedure (the same one endured by before the making of her album, 25). The contrast is noticeable in Ditto’s “cleaner” alto vocals, which soar on the rhythmic standout track, “We Could Run.” The hit-to-be sounds as if it was plucked from Stevie Nicks’s early-1980s solo catalogue. “I wrote that song about (Gossip bandmate Nathan Howdeshell) and me before the breakup (of the band),” Ditto says. “The song is about being teenagers in the the middle of nowhere, escaping from Arkansas, and making up adulthood as you go along.” The abandon in the song’s chorus gets at the heart of Ditto’s upbringing in a Southern town with no malls, no rock shows and a conservative Christian college which she says dominated every aspect of daily life. “I grew up between two worlds – it wasn’t like Nashville or Atlanta or even Little Rock. It was isolated, so music was our only way to break out.” Between its late-1990s beginning and 2016 split, Gossip formed in Washington state after Ditto left Arkansas, toured with Sleater-Kinney, released music on the indie-pedigreed Kill Rock Stars label, built a huge UK following, played Glastonbury music festival, recorded with , and synced its song “Heavy Cross” to a Dior parfum commercial. Along the way, the trio’s sound floated between Giorgio Moroder-inspired beats and Southern punk-funk. Pitchfork readers may have found the concept of Gossip too mainstream in its final days as a band but Ditto’s metamorphosis from alterna-babe who plays dive bars to TV talk show frequenter has no doubt inspired singers such as Alabama Shakes’ Brittany Howard and younger acts such as Haim and Hey Violet down a similar path toward wider recognition. Just because Fake Sugar is long on listenability doesn’t mean diehard fans of Gossip should worry this second solo effort from Ditto (she also released an EP in 2011) is too soft on attitude: “Fire” and “Oo La La” – which recall the tribal sound of Bow Wow Wow’s remake of “I Want Candy,” only with an added dose of second-millennium steroids – keep the deep bass, heavy drums and “zero f***s” spirit that has defined Ditto’s career thus far. The Stevie Nicks comparison might seem like a lazy example, but this journalist is not afraid to be the 100th to say it. There’s something big brewing on Fake Sugar inside these melodic choruses about childhood dreams. Ditto’s voice may recall the way the Fleetwood Mac singer gravitates between a vulnerable vibrato and a massive arena wail, yet who wouldn’t want to hear a vocalist like that on the airwaves in 2017? Let’s hope chiffonheads (as Nicks’s diehard followers refer to themselves) embrace the comparison, because it’s too late to turn back now: Ditto’s hair is already blowing in the wind on a stage near you.” - HuffPost, 6/27/17 Paste Magazine profiles the new single from The Lone Bellow “Strange as it may be, The Lone Bellow sound, um, happy? The three main members—Zach Williams, Brian Elmquist and Kanine Pipkin—have all found the loves they seemed like they lost (or never had) on 2013’s self-titled debut. They all have kids now, and they all recently re-located from Brooklyn to Nashville. Whether by causation or correlation to these life changes, the country-folk trio has adjusted its sound that’s now fit for its new major label audience. After about two and a half years since the band’s sophomore effort Then Came The Morning, The Lone Bellow returns with “Time’s Always Leaving.” Kicking off with a stomping rhythm and radio-ready riff, the tune offers a chastising personi- fication of time—that cruel mistress who never takes off her coat when she comes or leaves a note when she leaves. If “Time’s Always Leaving” is any indication, the trio built on singing together through pain has grown up to become the group who lived to tell the story of how they evaded death and overcame heartbreak. They’re the band that turned commiserating tragedy with each other into celebrating life with thousands of their friends and fans. And with those signature harmonies that cut right to the soul, The Lone Bellow could sing about anything and make it sound convincing. The Lone Bellow’s third studio album, Walk Into A Storm, is due out September 15th via Descendant Records/Sony Music Masterworks.” - Paste, 6/15/17 Coming up... 7/24: Kenny Wayne Shepherd Band “Nothing But The Night,” Picture This “Take My Hand”... 7/31: Will Hoge, Good Old War...
