Dennyiah - Sailor [Music Video Review]

July 18, 2020 by Travis Erwin in Music Videos, Singer/Songwriter, blues

Rating: 4 out of 5

“A slow, soulful track that hints at the Blues behind a songwriter emotional vibe. The ocean and our journey through life form a strong metaphor that is brought to life by these emotion laden vocals and a nice arrangement that serves this track quite well. This is stripped down songwriting and performing that feels far bigger than it actually is thanks to the talent behind it.”

    The Customers - Lost The World [Review]

    May 01, 2020 by Travis Erwin in Music, Alternative, blues

    Rating: 3.5 out of 5

    “A rocking Blues number, that delivers a hard punch musically. The vocals lean to a spoken Blues style, but for me it was the hard edge of the music that kept me listening here. Something tells me this band is one that puts on a must see show on stage and I hope they venture down to Southern California so that I can see them live for myself.

    Rock and Roll isn’t dead but it is hard to find and The Customers out of Oakland, California are hell bent to keep the sound alive and well. ”

      SISTER COOKIE - ON GOLGOTHA [Review]

      April 16, 2020 by Travis Erwin in Music, Jazz, Soul, blues

      Rating: 4 out of 5

      “The 12 Bar Blues with a Jazz infused bit of funky Gospel is how I’d describe this darkly twisted track from SISTER COOKIE.

      Energetic and danceable, this one has a retro Rockabilly vibe that makes it perfect for a swing around the dance floor, but don’t underestimate the twisty lyrics of this soulful single. ”

        Hollyy - What A Shame [Review]

        March 13, 2020 by Travis Erwin in Music, Indie Rock, Alternative, blues

        Rating: 4.5 out of 5

        “This track incorporates a bit of a 50’s do wop vibe into a modern Indie Rock/ Americana sound, making it feel as if the single could be a hit across many different decades.

        A slow dance track with soul and introspection behind it. You certainly will not be saying ‘What A Shame’ after giving this latest single from Hollyy a thoughtful listen.

        Hollyy is an up and coming alternative soul band from Chicago.”

          Von Deckle - Devilish Girl [Review]

          February 29, 2020 by Travis Erwin in Music, Commercial, blues, Alternative

          Rating: 4 out of 5

          “This track delivers a rich and earthly Blues Roots vibe. Hard driving guitar energy backs the vocals, which feels like a ride down a rough gravel road. That is a good thing here, because the vibe fits perfectly with the lyrics and spirit of this song. The songwriting puts a twist on the trope of selling your soul to the devil to gain the thing you most desire. In this case, the love of a woman. ”

            Kendall Rucks - Everybodys Girl [Review]

            November 15, 2019 by Travis Erwin in Music Videos, Indie Rock, Indie Pop, Alternative, blues

            Rating: 4.5 out of 5

            “This track is about attitude and sensuality and the preconceived notions of society. Kendall Rucks delivers a sultry rock siren performance that lyrically unravels the idea of conformity as it progress. Intricate, complex, and alluring, I can’t wait to hear more from this artist. ”

              Rating: 4.5 out of 5

              “Bluesy and moody, this track conjures emotion and imagery before the vocals ever hit. The attitude continues in both the performance and lyrical content. ”
