15 years ago Liv Carter Comments Off on CD Review – Achin’ and Shakin’ – Laura Bell Bundy
Achin’ and Shakin’ – Laura Bell Bundy (2010, Mercury Records Nashville) Not many artists will be confident enough to make their major label debut with a concept album but if there is one thing Laura Bell Bundy has in spades, it’s confidence.

‘Christian Kane EP’ – Christian Kane (Bigger Picture Group, 2010) Christian Kane has always struck me as an artist who chooses his work carefully.
