Single Reviews of Salem Wolves: “So Desperate” and “November”Providence, Rhode Island’s Salem Wolves are Gray Bouchard (vocals, guitar), Justin Tisdale (bass), Sam Valliere (guitar), and Steven Shepherd (drums). “So Desperate” and “November” were two of the singles released last year from the band’s The Psychotron Speaks album. I’ve not yet given the full album a listen, but these two singles are a great introduction.

Album Review of Travellin’ Blue: Take the Edge OffHere at the blog, I reviewed a couple singles from the kickass Belgian blues band the Travellin’ Blue Kings, most recently a little more than a year ago. Well, after some line-up changes, the band has released a brand new album of powerful blues and blues rock, Take the Edge Off, now as Travellin’ Blue.

Album Review: Pure Prairie League – Back on TrackOld-school country pop-rock from a legendary band. Sure, I wasn’t initially as excited as I would have been by a new Garth Brooks disc. Or, going back to a more comparable ’70s star, a new Crystal Gayle record. But then I listened to Back on Track and remembered why we all know Pure Prairie League‘s name. Damn, these guys know how to write – and perform – a pleasant soft country pop-rock song.

Single Reviews of Lansdowne: “Here to Stay” and “Oxygen” (AFM Records)Lansdowne is a heavy-rocking Boston band you’ve read about at this blog before. Well, this fivesome – Jon Ricci (vocals), Shaun Lichtenstein (lead guitar, vocals), Glenn Mungo (drums), Josh Waterman (guitar, vocals), and Mike LaRoche (bass) – has released two more kickass singles since my last review, “Here to Stay” and “Oxygen.”“Here to Stay” kicks off with a fiesty guitar rock intro that softens as Ricci’s vocals kick in.

Single Review of Sister Hazel – “All Goes By So Fast” (Rock Ridge Music)“All Goes By So Fast” was an August 2024 single released by Sister Hazel in advance of the band’s 13th studio album, Sand, Sea & Crash Debris, which dropped in November. Now, I haven’t yet heard the album, but I’ve heard this very cool song, “All Goes By So Fast,” quite a lot; of course, I’ve also heard “Coconut Trees,” which was released as a single shortly before I reviewed it back in 2023.
