Ted Russell Kamp Video Premiere – Home Away From Home

Wednesday, April 17, 2019 By Shawn Underwood

Life on the road is hard.  As the glass of water metaphor describes, though, optimists and pessimists see that challenge differently.  You can put Ted Russell Kamp firmly in the former.  Between his own performances and as a long-time member of Shooter Jennings’ band, Kamp gets double the opportunity to travel.  On his latest record, […]

Fall Music Clean Up

Thursday, December 14, 2017 By Shawn Underwood

Here it is the end of the year and I was going back through all the great music I’ve heard this year and found 3 CDs that never worked their way up to a full review, but for one reason or another they hung around in my playlist.  So as you sit there turkey-drunk and […]

ALBUMS OF THE MONTH Rangers & Valentines by Trapper Schoepp When was the last time that you heard an infectious song about mononucleosis? I can’t recall either but Trapper Schoepp demonstrates that it can be done. The lead-off track to his latest release crackles with energy, driven by an irresistible pop hook and emboldened by […]
