“Onetime Mmoss singer Doug Tuttle will release his new album, It Calls on Me, on February 19 via Trouble in Mind. It’s a little It’s a bit more pastoral than his 2014 solo debut. With 12-string guitar and mellotron flutes and strings, first single “Falling To Believe” is gorgeous stuff”Brooklyn Vegan

“Alongside their showstopping instrumental version of the Kinks’ “You Really Got Me,” this was one of the standout covers on Mott the Hoople’s eponymous debut album, a characteristically evocative slice of Doug Sahm-composed Texas-centric Americana which the group reduced to a stately organ and tasteful guitar-led ballad, shaded with a mood lifted straight from Dylan’s “Like a Rolling Stone,” then layered with one of Ian Hunter’s own most-Dylanesque vocals. The instrumental break alone could have slipped out of a Highway 61 Revisited-era jam session. The song was a positive standout in the band’s early live set — tapes of Mott’s 1970 Fillmore West engagements are positively dominated by it.”Allmusic

“San Francisco DIY pop king Kelley Stoltz is a very prolific artist though his releases tend to come in spurts. (His last album was 2013’s Double Exposure.) Get ready for Stoltz overload, as he’ll have not one, not two, but three new records out this fall.

His love of Echo & the Bunnymen and The Fall rears its head on In Triangle Time which features more synthesizers than usual and will be released by Castle Face on November 6. You can check out opening track “Cut Me Baby,” which owes a little to Bowie’s Eno records…”Source

“There is so much truth in the sounds and lyrics coming from Frankie Lee’s debut album American Dreamer it resonates pure working man blues country and the grit of been there wallowed around in it. With mixed Haggard swagger and Flying Burrito Brothers take it easy story telling it is hard to understand why this fella isn’t on the tongue of every music purest. Soon.”Source

“Rocket From The Tombs is back. ‘Black Record’ delivers eight new tracks, as well as definitive recordings of Rocket classics ‘Sonic Reducer’ and ‘Read It And Weep’ and a cover of The Sonics’ ‘Strychnine.’ Still fighting mad.

Fronted by founding members Crocus Behemoth and Craig Bell, ‘Black Record’ delivers anthems borne of decades of raw energy coupled with decades of experienced musicianship, firmly assuring its place in the extraordinary history of the band.

“No one else in American rock, underground or over, in 1974 and ‘75, was writing and playing songs this hard and graphic about being f**ked over and fighting mad. No one else is doing it now.”
David Fricke, editor of Rolling Stone”

“I Don’t Want to Talk About It” is a song written by Danny Whitten. It was first recorded by Crazy Horse and issued as the final track on side one of their 1971 eponymous album. It was Whitten’s signature tune, but gained more fame via its numerous cover versions, especially that by Rod Stewart.”Wiki
