Paul Brady’s The Liberty Tapes
Judith Gennett wrote this review. This is only in a limited sense a new album. The story goes that The Liberty Tapes were made of a legendary Paul Brady concert in 1978, using a domestic reel-to-reel and tape. Brady immediately … Continue reading

Llio Rhydderch’s Melangell, and Boys From The Hill’s Boys From The Hill
Tim Hoke wrote this review. Welsh music isn’t something that’s easily found, at least not where I live. I have found that it’s usually worth the effort when I do manage to track some down. I was thrilled to hear … Continue reading
