• Lindi Ortega - Little Red Boots maandag 24 oktober 2011

  Keepers of country’s tragi-comic flame will clasp Lindi firmly to their bosoms.

  It’s a brave woman who burdens her breakthrough album with a track called I’m No Elvis Presley. Such a move conjures up that period in the mid-1990s when a past-their-best Depeche Mode released singles called It’s No Good and Useless. The reviews wrote themselves.

• Happy Camper - Happy Camper donderdag 17 februari 2011

  Wat gebeurt er wanneer je leden van El Pino & The Volunteers, Room Eleven, Moss, Coparck, Blaudzun, Kyteman en Tim Knol bij elkaar in de studio zet? Dat vroeg liedjesschrijver en animator Job Roggeveen zich ook af. Het resultaat mag er zijn.

• Various Artists - Crazy Heart – Original Motion Picture Soundtrack maandag 22 maart 2010

  Moments of brightness lend an unexpected brilliance to this soundtrack.

  There is an art to the great film soundtrack, a subtle kind of weaving that ensures the music leaves itself as firmly embedded in one's memory every bit as much as the movie's plot or characters. Think Simon and Garfunkel's scoring for The Graduate, Elliott Smith's songs for Good Will Hunting, and O Brother, Where Art Thou? single-handedly launching some sort of great bluegrass revival.

• Drive-By Truckers - The Big To-Do maandag 15 maart 2010

  Whenever life knocks you down, the Drive-by Truckers are there to remind you that things could always be shittier. On the 10th album from this remarkably consistent Georgia band, a sexually abused woman murders her lover, a two-timing rogue goes missing and is hoped drowned, and, on the very pretty waltz "The Flying Wallendas," a group of acrobats take a tragic tumble. Songs like the raucous "Birthday Boy" show off a ragged-glory guitar attack that was absent on the last Truckers album, but per...
