Kenny Wayne Shepherd Band, The Traveler. Album Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 8.5/10

The journey is not meant to be smooth sailing, occasionally the wind will drop and you will find yourself becalmed, motionless, moored in a sea that wants to rage but find finds no tempest calling. In those times the voyager might find that the journey is of no consequence, the diary running dry, the memories made fading into the far recesses of the mind, only to be caressed back to life with careful thought.

Gavin Sutherland, A Traveller’s Tales. Album Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating * * * *


How often do we truly sit down and seek enlightenment from the anecdotes and mysteries entwined within the set of A Traveller’s Tales, how often do we sit in silence and let the narrator’s words flow over us and sit in silence, reflecting not on the appearance or the situation, but solely on the legend being created? In this fast-paced modern world in which we cannot even let a day turn without a sarcastic remark or subtle dig in the ribs go past on social media, we don’t let the story sink in, a traveller’s tale deserves more respect.

Paul Anderson, Beauties Of The North. Album Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating * * * *

We listen to the multitude who sing off the same chorus sheet, we applaud and make a fuss over the group dynamic which ranges in degrees of finesse and performance because we feel that there is safety in numbers, that there is a sense of cause in the army containing baritones and sopranos, an expression of grief and joy that is harnessed by the collective over the passion of the one.

Christina Larocca, These Are My Whiskey Dreams. Album Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 8.5/10

We are actively urged to change the world and yet how many of us find the direction in which to pursue these goals, to keep on the straight line and absorb the bumps in the road that have been placed to throw us off course; it is enough to make us throw away the keys to our own success, ditch the vehicle we are driving and head on into the bar of existence and breathe in the fumes of our neighbours favourite dram.

Hollis Brown, Ozone Park. Album Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating * * * *

When you are asked to look across the Atlantic and implored to describe what you might find, you would not be blamed or judged for thinking in terms of New York City, specifically the Island of Manhattan and whilst the towers gleam, the streets bustle with excitement and seemingly to the ghostly tunes of old style Jazz and Blues and the enticing face of Capitalism, it lures you in and then spits you out onto the streets, there is far more to the greater area that surrounds 42 Street, that looks across to the symbol of French platitudes and shines a beacon to the world.

John Cee Stannard Blues Orchestra, The Doob Doo Album. Album Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating * * * *

What you create today is by no means the final moment into which you will inspire somebody, even if it yourself somewhere down the line, where you stop to take in the possible reflected glory of your pain-staking effort, and realise that at some pint along the path there is a moment in which you can revisit, in which the foundations you once laid down with bare knuckles and hopeful design, can still serve as a resolution to continue striving for excellence.

Daria Kulesh, Earthly Delights. Album Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 8.5/10

We look upon this world as if we are but spoilt children, the only amusement we find is that in which others give us when we demand, the only appreciation gained is when we regret that it has been taken away from us, and then with petulance we kick and scream our displeasure, we become spiteful and then as a final act we begin to steal what is not ours and hold it for ransom, the highest bidder gaining ground, the Earthly Delights not realised.
