REVIEW: “Rather charming”

The album’s twelve tracks represent some of the best Americana you’ll hear this year from the title track chronicling the story of Cattle Annie and Littles Britches, two cowgirls who rode the outlaw trails in the late 1800s, to the marvellous rock out tale of Annie Oakley – How The West Was Won, it’s a […]

REVIEW: “vivid songwriting skills”

Thanks Maverick of the UK for the review: “Though currently based in Portland, Oregon, Ashleigh Flynn grew up in Kentucky and on this latest album she takes the various diverse roots of American music and channels them through her own vivid songwriting skills.

Freight Train Boogie, thanks! “Released on her own Home Perm Records, Ashleigh Flynn’s latest studio album is described on her website as “true blue Americana featuring a bit of folk, blues, country and rock.”  With that type of variety, it would not be unusual to have a couple missteps or at least some issues with […]

Roots Song of The Week

And another top pick for the first week of July. Thanks Fervor Coulee who writes: “This week’s Fervor Coulee Roots Song of the Week is a track that floored me when I heard it while on the way to work one day in early June.” Read the review

Edging closer to equality, thanks Supreme Court!

June 26 was an historic day as the Supreme Court made a landmark decision on the Defense of Marriage Act, a federal law that blocked the federal recognition of gay marriage. This means that married gays now have access to federal benefits like Social Security survivor benefits, immigration rights and family leave. Also on the same […]

REVIEW: “Resolve, conviction, and sweetness.”

Over at The Aquarian Weekly, Mike Greenblatt sure had some nice things to say about A Million Stars. Thanks Mike! Check out his review: “Since I keep telling everybody to turn off country radio and the crap it promotes, it’s only fair—since I love country music—to turn folks on to the real deal. A Million Stars (Home […]
