‘Goodbye Rock ‘n’ Roll’ – Derek Hoke (Electric Western Records, 2010) This disc has been around for a while, but only now got a full release, and I had heard very good things about it but just couldn’t get around to giving it a listen. My mistake. Right at the start of ‘Goodbye Rock ‘n’ Read More

CD Review – Christian Kane EP – Christian Kane
15 years ago Liv Carter 11
‘Christian Kane EP’ – Christian Kane (Bigger Picture Group, 2010) Christian Kane has always struck me as an artist who chooses his work carefully. Whether it be acting or music, he seems to have picked projects he believed in, not just those who were the shortest route to fame. Maybe because of this, I feel Read More

‘My Best Days’ – Danny Gokey (RCA, 2010) Having never seen a single minute of ‘American Idol’, I was unfamiliar with Danny Gokey until debut single ‘My Best Days Are Ahead of Me’ was released. If his label reps ever wondered how his music would have been received without reality TV, here’s their chance. When Read More

15 years ago Liv Carter Comments Off on CD Review – American VI: Ain’t No Grave – Johnny Cash
‘American VI: Ain’t No Grave’ – Johnny Cash (American/Lost Highway, 2010) I’ve always found that songs sound just a little different in the hands of Johnny Cash. Right from the opener and title track, ‘American VI: Ain’t No Grave’ grips and it stays with you long after the CD stopped spinning. Some have questioned whether Read More

The first time I heard it, Read More
