Mayer’s Playlist for Fall 2020, Part 3

Thursday, November 12, 2020 By Mayer Danzig

When You’re Gone, Lydia Loveless (from the Honey You’re Gonna Be Late Records release Daughter) Daughter isn’t an easy album.  Sure, the album has some strong and engaging melodies, not to mention the wonder that is the singer’s commanding voice.  Yet it is also a lyrically and musically dense album, one that finds Loveless continuing […]

A Twangville Premiere from John Pedigo’s Magic Pilsner

Wednesday, October 28, 2020 By Mayer Danzig

I’ve been waiting patiently for John Pedigo to release the follow-up to 2018’s self-titled release.  Pedigo, with his Magic Pilsner compadres, have been taking their time on their sophomore release, in part due to Pedigo’s “side gig” as a producer extraordinaire for the likes of Joshua Ray Walker and others.  And then pandemic.  Without the ability to […]

Mayer’s Playlist for Fall 2020, Part 2

Thursday, October 15, 2020 By Mayer Danzig

Fine, Bonnie Whitmore (from the Aviatrix Records release Last Will & Testament) Bonnie Whitmore lulls you in with a chorus of harmonies on the opening track to her latest album.  But before one can settle into the lushness, a fuzzy bass, quickly joined by ominous strings and a resonating electric guitar, interrupts to create a […]
