Interview with Gilles Snowcat

November 4, 2025

This Brussels denizen has a whiff of enigma about him, and his labyrinthine discography doesn’t make it easy to crack the artist’s code due to Snowcat’s stylistic versatility and his many records’ genre-defying diversity. Still, “something for everyone” – a fitting characteristic of Gilles’ body of work – can indicate his willingness to satisfy any taste, but that may also mean his audiences are always in for a surprise, even though some subjects travel from one of the Belgian’s platter’s to another.

Colin Blunstone Releases First Proper Live Record

November 2, 2025

One may assume that, with a career spanning more than six decades, Colin Blunstone would have quite a few concert albums under his belt, given the ZOMBIES warbler issued a dozen platters outside of the band, yet this is not the case. To date, there has been but a single release like this, 1995’s “Live At The BBC” corralling the veteran’s archival outings. Fortunately, such a strange situation is about to get remedied, as November 21st will see the appearance of the “One Year And More” set, a result of the singer’s gracing the stage of London’s Union Chapel on November 25th, 2024.

Teddy Thompson Puts Out First Live Album

November 1, 2025

It’s almost impossible to believe that, in a career that lasts a quarter-century now, having started with his eponymous album back in 2000, Teddy Thompson didn’t issue a single concert platter – until he did. A few weeks ago, the English singer-songwriter released, via Bandcamp an arresting set titled “Live At The Rogue Folk Club” which was laid down in June 2024 at the titular Vancouver venue and features, among other numbers, quite a few pieces off his latest solo offering "My Love Of Country" from 2023.

Robin Trower Reports From The States On Concert Platter

October 31, 2025

While a lot of octogenarian artists would love to rest on their laurels, Robin Trower has been on a roll lately, the veteran’s recent streak of creativity almost making his reissue programme pale in comparison with albums like "Come And Find Me" from earlier in the year. What the veteran didn’t do for a long time, though, was issuing non-archival records originating from the stage, but finally he decided to deliver a follow-up to “RT@RO.08” which saw the light of day back in 2009. Trower’s trek across the States in the summer of 2025 proved to be so successful that quite a few performances were preserved for posterity.

Bobby Callender Revisits His “Rainbow” On Stage

October 30, 2025

Although it wasn’t customary for black artists to cross over to lysergically influenced side of things in the late ’60s and early ’70s, there were successful attempts to do so, as THE TENPTATIONS’ “Psychedelic Shack” suggested rather convincingly. However, nobody achieved what would be dubbed “proto-prog” as impressively as Bobby Callender whose three platters, first and foremost “Rainbow” from 1968, are considered stone-cold classics in cult circles. He didn’t seem to release anything after 1972’s “Le Musée De L’Impressionnisme” and all but disappeared from public eye – and yet the veteran returned two years ago to perform his debut live, and now this recording is ready to be out.
