Mark Cameron – Blues Factory This is Minnesota-bluesman Mark Cameron’s 9th album & unlike many blues efforts, his is made from an unpredictable seed. Mark does mix up his blues tradition with some rowdy rock ‘n’ roll flavors, a shuffle, musical romps, & instead of popping the blues as an entertainment balloon, he goes for […]

Samuel Wilbur – Ivory Tower This artist’s a topical troubadour tackling topics of concern, some controversial, & keeping an eye focused on modern-day America. 13 tracks may not all fly with everyone, but are worth hearing, nonetheless. The effort is well-recorded & sincere. Fortunately, he doesn’t go too radical. Is everything going to appeal to […]

A career best. For years, Jake Owen was simply known as the beach-country guy. Typically getting categorized with the likes of Kenny Chesney and Zac Brown Band due to his early summertime aesthetics and songs, the Florida native has a laundry list of radio hits such as “Barefoot Blue Jean Night,” “The One That Got Away,” “American Country Love Song” and “I Was Jack (You Were Diane),” all of which hit #1 on Billboard’s Hot Country Songs chart.
