Little Feat have a new album out shortly entitled Sam's Place. Comprised of blues classics, this is the lead single, You'll be Mine, written by Willie Dixon. A tune I hadn't heard before, it's very pleasing to these ears...

Haven't heard Little Feat in a long time. Another lot that were the darlings of the music press for part of the 70's. Blues covers seems to be the thing at the moment. Not that I'm complaining. Anything that deflects from Lewis Capaldi and Olly Alexander is OK by me

The Black Crowes new single, Wanting and Waiting, released just two days ago and a welcome return to form, I think! Happy to be very wrong. I thought the single - with its welcome return to the old sound, was too little to late. I've just heard the album and its great 👍👍

Scottish band, Jesus and Mary Chain, have a new album out this week, Glasgow Eyes. The Eagles and the Beatles is a single/track off it and is cool in a nicely retro fashion.

I heard this the other day funnily enough. I never really 'got' Jesus and Mary Chain. And I have tried over the years. I should have liked them. They're sort of up my strasse. Alas....

Me, I'm all for a nice melodic hook in a rock song, something to hum along to. However, here's a band from Sweden, Quantum, whose latest single, On the Verge, is for release soon... with hardly a recognisable chord sequence in sight. Though somewhat jarring to these sensitive ears (who just loves a 12-Bar riff), there's a certain intensity to it that made me re-listen to it several times. So, for us musical dinosaurs (speak for yourself!), it's where new music's at, I suppose...

The Treatment's latest release, When thunder and Lightening Strikes, off a forthcoming album (I think). Big beefy anthemic tune, they're becoming a bit of a new favourite in chez quodec...

So, for us musical dinosaurs (speak for yourself!), it's where new music's at, I suppose... I love that! It almost MAKES you listen. Makes you concentrate. And when you do, the melody shines through. The opening bars are quite similar to Porcupine Tree's, The Sound of Muzak.Can't see it being no.1 next week though. Alas, it may be new but its not where new music's at.

Belfast's finest, Dea Matrona, have a new album out shortly ... and this is the lead single off it, Every Night I Want You. Nice jazzy, summery feel to it. Seen these talented girls open for Quo in Dublin two years ago, and they can also rock and roll with the best of them ...

So, Johnny Cash has a new single out, over 20 years after his death. He had recorded vocals for a number of tracks a decade before his passing, but began working with Rick Rubin and left the tracks unfinished ... until now. This is one of them, Well Alright...
