If you’d read my review of Lady Antebellum’s Own The Night World Tour Blu-ray you’d know how much I liked it and was therefore really excited about the new album from the band; Golden, of which I was lucky enough to receive a review copy of. On the first couple of listens I liked what [...]

Gig Review: Kacey Musgraves at Slipped Discs’, Billericay – April 20th 2013
April 22nd, 2013
No Comments
A month or so ago the name Kacey Musgraves started to pop up, a lot, on Twitter amongst the country music community. So much in fact that after reading this great review of her album Same Trailer Different Park there was only thing left for me to do – jump aboard the bandwagon and order [...]
Album Review: Brad Paisley – Wheelhouse
April 9th, 2013
No Comments
It was less than 3 months ago that I wrote about my discovering Brad Paisley and liking his music, a lot. It was Hits Alive that got me into him and since then I’ve listened to and really enjoyed This Is Country Music and American Saturday Night, particularly the latter. So what was that mini [...]
Review: C2C Country To Country Festival – Sunday 17th March 2013
March 18th, 2013
No Comments
A little over a year after I started to really get into country music and I finally attended my first country gig. Actually better make that 4, well, 3 and a bit – but more on that later. I booked tickets for the inaugural Country To Country music festival back before Christmas, and having to [...]
Review: Rock of Ages at the Garrick Theatre, London
February 9th, 2013
No Comments
This time last week I was stood in a bar as 18 and Life by Skid Row was playing. When we got to our seats Cherry Pie by Warrant was playing. There should be more establishments with a playlist like this, at least in the eyes of this hair rock enthusiast. Since the age of [...]
Review: Lady Antebellum – Own The Night World Tour Blu-ray
January 18th, 2013
No Comments
I’m not usually one for watching gigs on DVD or Blu-ray, but this release from Lady Antebellum appealed to me, maybe because they were the first band that really struck a chord with me when I started getting into country music 11 months ago. That disclaimer out the way, the Own The Night World Tour [...]
Review: Kellie Pickler – 100 Proof
January 16th, 2013
No Comments
I’m not really sure what made me get this album, I think it could have something to do with Taste of Country mentioning Kellie’s name on Twitter regularly as she is up for a few categories in their awards. That and I’m sure I remember seeing this album recommended in the latest issue of Country [...]
Review: The Band Perry – Better Dig Two
January 14th, 2013
No Comments
I thought it only right that I start this blog by writing about my favourite country song at the moment, that being Better Dig Two by The Band Perry, which you may have guessed from the title of this entry! The Band Perry were one of the first bands I heard when I got into country music [...]
Gig Review: Diana Vickers at Cargo, London – February 9th 2012
February 11th, 2012
No Comments
When it comes to X-Factor I’ve always liked the first half of the show – I get some kind of sick pleasure from seeing people with bewildering lack of self-awareness. However occasionally, very occasionally, you do see someone who seems genuinely talented, and that’s what happened when I saw Diana Vickers audition for X-Factor in [...]
Review: Iron Maiden at The O2, London – Saturday 6th August 2011
August 11th, 2011
No Comments
I’ve been a fan of Iron Maiden for over 24 years but never managed to catch them live. A combination of being in the wrong place at the right time or not having anyone to go with has meant that seeing one of the greatest shows in rock has eluded me, until now. If there [...]
