Make room on your folk revival shelf for something that may be influenced by folk, but is in no way a revival.” – Splendid Magazine “The melodies are ravishing throughout – sparse and simple, solemn and uplifting. … Alec K. himself has a rich yet fragile voice, joined by equally delicious high female harmonies - classical voices with a hint of eccentric Americana. … Soaked with genuine feeling and deep spirituality… there's extraordinary depth to this music… The melodies…promise hope and celebrate fragile humans despite the darkness. Haunting, compelling, quite unique…” – Organ Magazine "All Praise Be Yours, My Lord, Through Sister Death From Whose Embrace No Mortal Can Escape" – Saint Francis of Assisi, from “Canticle of the Sun” Alec K. Redfearn and The Eyesores have been surprising audiences with their hypnotic, gently explosive rock music for more than a decade. Never one to follow trends, Redfearn’s kaleidoscopic visions, anchored by his extraordinary accordion work and sonorous vocals, exist on the fringes of pop music, songs that are as familiar and individual as snowflakes or fingerprints. While his deep knowledge of folk, classical and world music allows him to slip effortlessly from genre to genre, more often, he creates pieces that subvert established forms to produce work of startling originality.

    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE MARCH 2021 UNCUT PREMIERES RETRO SPACE AGE VIDEO “SOUTHERN COASTS” FROM TEXAS ROCK TROUBADOUR ISRAEL NASH, WATCH HERE EUROPEAN PRESS RAVE OVER NASH’S NEW RELEASE TOPAZ OUT MARCH 12 VIRTUAL FROM THE HILLS WITH LOVE BENEFIT MARCH 26 Nashville, TN – UK music magazine UNCUT has exclusively premiered Israel Nash’s “Southern Coasts” video from his upcoming release Topaz, out March 12. The nostalgic clip was directed by Nash and filmed in his studio in Dripping Springs, TX. Watch “Southern Coasts” via UNCUT HERE. Listen to tracks from Topaz and pre-order the album HERE. For Topaz, Nash teamed up with Adrian Quesada of the Grammy-nominated Black Pumas to produce the effort. Topaz is a triumphant rock-and-roll experiment, full of fat horns, gospel choruses, swagger, hope, and pain. The meaty rock foundation, with touches of psychedelia and skylark folk that fans have come to love, blends seamlessly with a soulful heft that nods to Muscle Shoals and Memphis. Political and personal, Topaz is moody and vast, cohesive and compelling. On March 26 via YouTube and Facebook, Nash will present his annual “From The Hills with Love” festival that brings together like-minded people for a day of great music and conversation to create a community of friends amongst the beauty of the Texas Hill Country. Due to the pandemic, the event is virtual this year, with proceeds going to the Dripping Springs Food Bank. Nash says, “‘I am so bummed that we aren’t doing the in person festival this year, but we’re going to celebrate what FTHWL is all about this March with a special virtual hang where I’ll be hosting and jamming from Plum Creek Sound, joined by friends from all over the world.

  • The Critical, Opinionated, and Judgmental Ravings of an Angry, Old Soul
    The critical, opinionated, and judgmental ravings of an angry, old soul. <... http://www.feastofhateandfear.com/reviews.html The critical, opinionated, and judgmental ravings of an angry, old soul. OMAR KHORSHID - Guitar El Chark DOUBLE 12" LP ( Sublime Frequencies ) I hear that this sucker is already sold out, and I can understand why. Guitar El Chark , which translates to 'Guitar of the Orient', is a collection of singles, and album cuts that spawn the Lebanese years of Omar Khorshid's musical career. The Egyptian Khorshid began playing guitar in the early 60s, and soon formed Le Petit Chats, who were modeled after The Beatles. Later he would join Abdel Halim Hafez and Baligh Hamdi in their orchestra, and that was when his fame began to spread throughout the Middle East. In the early 1970s he moved to Beirut, Lebanon, and recorded several solo LPs from 1973 to 1977. This later solo work is where the songs on Guitar El Chark come from. This release, and Omar's later work, consist of a blend of surf guitar, traditional Arab music, Flamenco, and psychedelic keyboards that form an instrumental, almost early-Bollywood sound. Seventeen tracks, and one promotional radio spot, adding up to over eighty minutes of awesome. I cannot express how wonderful it is to finally get my hands on some of his work. Well, neither can thousands of others, as this limited edition, gatefold, double slab of 12" wax has apparently flown off the racks. Hopefully, Seattle's Sublime Frequencies Records will reissue this in CD format for the newly schooled masses.

    FolkWorld #51: CD Reviews 28/08/13 11:31 FolkWorld #51 07/2013 CD & DVD Reviews The Irish Rovers "Drunken Sailor" Rover Records; 2012 When a band called the Irish Rovers releases an album with the bawdy classic “Drunken Sailor” as the title www.irishroversmusic.com cut, I would guess that you would not a review to tell you what to expect. And certainly if you know anything about the Irish Rovers during the last 50-odd years they have been together, you should know what you will get here. And with founding member George Millar leading the way with his cousin Ian and some fine traditional players, there is classic Irish style and some good energy present in these songs… all suitable for a late night in the pub. © David Hintz Current Swell "Long Time Ago" Nettwerk, 2013 This is modern folk-rock that has a little bit of that Felice Brothers meets Elliott Brood style here at work. I particular like the way the www.currentswell.com electric guitars kick in during “Honest Man” which offsets the more folky songs. There is a rhythm and blues feeling in the vocal work, which along with the percussion brings a little swing into the arrangements. There may be even too much R&B for some people, but the music is comfortable and engaging throughout the album. There is also a nice sting in the guitar work as well, even when they are not rocking out. The songs consistently connect and show enough creative spark allowing the band to resonate with a large audience.
