New Threats From the Soul - Ryan Davis & the Roadhouse Band Ryan Davis’s twangy vocals, telling intricate tales with lyrics veering into the realm of absurdity, and the Roadhouse band’s gorgeous instrumentation make listening to New Threats From the Soul an utterly wholesome experience. Highly recommended for a cozy night in over the Christmas break. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6712a3c87082321a8dea73da/fb8286a2-f341-4f9f-bee6-f3567a40f757/When+Youth+Fades+Away.jpg BLOG - 25 for ‘25: Billy’s Albums of the Year - 9. When Youth Fades Away - Somebody’s Child On their second album, Dublin-band Somebody’s Child reckon with the inevitability of getting older and changing perspectives as youthful exuberance is replaced by domestic pleasures (‘Now I’m into porcelain / Oh where did it all go?’ sings frontman Cian Godfrey on the album’s standout track “Porcelain”) backed by melodic hooks and captivating riffs. The band has established itself as one of the most promising and exciting indie acts out there. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6712a3c87082321a8dea73da/9bf7b044-da02-430e-88f4-c16b589e9dd3/Tuff+Times+Never+Last.jpeg BLOG - 25 for ‘25: Billy’s Albums of the Year - 8. Tuff Times Never Last - Kokoroko You can’t pin down Kokoroko to any one genre, with prominent elements of jazz, afrobeats, soul, RnB and funk. But one thing is certain – the South London collective make music that is as enjoyable as it is layered. Their most recent album Tuff Times Never Last lets you drift away into the group’s gorgeous soundscapes and that is a lovely place to spend 50 minutes. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6712a3c87082321a8dea73da/34854d3c-bfd0-4536-9fee-76f4ec5e7de7/Deb%C3%AD+Tirar+M%C3%A1s+Fotos.png BLOG - 25 for ‘25: Billy’s Albums of the Year - 7. Debí Tirar Más Fotos - Bad Bunny With Debí Tirar Más Fotos, Puerto Rican superstar Bad Bunny has taken another huge step forward in an already illustrious career. Complementing his classic reggaeton sound with traditional latin influences has added another dimension to Bunny’s music that leaves you wanting more. Keep an eye out on his halftime show at next year’s Super Bowl! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6712a3c87082321a8dea73da/06d35cce-5c5c-45d7-a730-d4466c283464/From+The+Private+Collection+of+Saba+and+No+ID.jpg BLOG - 25 for ‘25: Billy’s Albums of the Year - 6. From The Private Collection of Saba & No ID - Saba & No ID Saba has been an interesting voice in hip hop ever since I first heard him on Chance the Rapper’s “Angels” in 2015. On his fourth album, he teamed up with fellow Chicago native No ID to create one of the year’s most appealing hip hop records, packed with No ID’s smooth production that meshes perfectly with Saba’s unique flows and vocal hooks, most notably on tracks like “Westside Bound Pt. 4”, “Woes of The World” and “How to Impress God”. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6712a3c87082321a8dea73da/651e0d03-f8ad-4bf8-a2b2-18e37e5d2a1b/Snocaps.jpg BLOG - 25 for ‘25: Billy’s Albums of the Year - 5. Snocaps - Snocaps It’s no understatement to call Snocaps a super group of American 2020s indie-rock. Led by Katie and Allison Crutchfield (Katie of Waxahatchee and Allison of Swearin’ fame) and backed by MJ Lenderman’s beautiful electric guitar licks, the twin sisters provide us with a delightful batch of tracks on the super group’s eponymous debut. Fittingly, the album ends on a reprise of the album’s opening track “Coast” because as soon as it ends you can’t wait to listen to it all over again. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6712a3c87082321a8dea73da/f8621c8d-f894-4bd5-88e2-9f03b7437328/Life+Is+Beautiful%21+Life+Is+Beautiful%21+Life+Is+Beautiful%21.jpg BLOG - 25 for ‘25: Billy’s Albums of the Year - 4. Life Is Beautiful! Life Is Beautiful! Life Is Beautiful! - The Dears The title of Murray Lightburn-led The Dears’ newest project Life Is Beautiful! Life Is Beautiful! Life Is Beautiful! sounds like someone reassuring themselves of life’s beauty in the face of the darkness we are confronted with every day. And that is also what the music on the album sounds like as The Dears deliver 42 minutes of life-affirming, gorgeously arranged indie-rock anthems. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6712a3c87082321a8dea73da/7a1091c8-697d-46be-ac89-3c736e74158c/Let+God+Sort+Em+Out.jpg BLOG - 25 for ‘25: Billy’s Albums of the Year - 3. Let God Sort Em Out - Clipse Brothers Pusha T and Malice reunite 16 years after their last release as rap duo Clipse to bring us what is without doubt the hip hop record of the year. Opener “The Birds Don’t Sing” sets up an awesome five-song run to start the album. And the quality does not drop off throughout the entire record thanks to superb, gritty production, Pusha T and Malice’s sharp bars and a stacked supporting cast led by Nas, Pharrell Williams and Kendrick Lamar. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6712a3c87082321a8dea73da/efbaaed7-bf41-46eb-ad9a-de1ac0ab78ff/Antidepressants.jpg BLOG - 25 for ‘25: Billy’s Albums of the Year - 2. Antidepressants - Suede Oasis’ reunion tour, Pulp’s comeback… Britpop’s heroes are alive and well. And none more so than Suede, whose prolific 2020s run continues with Antidepressants. Enveloping us in atmospheric, eerie post-punk soundscapes, Suede sound raw and fresh, led by Brett Anderson’s emotive vocals and Richard Oakes’ haunting riffs. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6712a3c87082321a8dea73da/9bade6d1-a954-411b-9530-1c4164315f2b/West+End+Girl.jpg BLOG - 25 for ‘25: Billy’s Albums of the Year - 1. West End Girl - Lily Allen A heartbreaking, moving yet also hilarious account of the breakdown of her marriage sees Lily Allen make her grand comeback seven years after the release of No Shame. While each song tells its own story and is great in its own right, the tracks truly come alive within the context of the album, making West End Girl a riveting and endearing listen. Highly recommended! https://www.kaleidiscope2blog.com/blog/rich-albums-of-2025 monthly 0.5 2025-12-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6712a3c87082321a8dea73da/1ffcab2a-f7ee-4222-a07d-860b3885c024/All+Asimov+And+No+Fresh+Air.jpg BLOG - 25 for ‘25: Rich’s Albums of the Year - 10. All Asimov and No Fresh Air - Half Man Half Biscuit The Liverpudlian indie-punk outfit have been making cutting edge albums for decades and this most recent effort has them on top form. Song titles like “Horror Clowns Are Dickheads” and “I’m Going Out of My Mind Trying to Get Into Yours” indicate no letting up in their originality as biting wit wins the day especially on standout “Record Store Day”. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6712a3c87082321a8dea73da/c535f38d-aadf-49b7-92e7-90243df4ce88/Tuff+Times+Never+Last.jpeg BLOG - 25 for ‘25: Rich’s Albums of the Year - 9. Tuff Times Never Last - Kokoroko South London neo-soul/jazz afro-beat collective keep the South London flag flying high on uplifting album’s response to dark times. Taking time out in an isolated location earlier in the year this seven piece have put together possibly their most engaging work to date. If October’s Zurich gig is anything to go by then they should be caught live too. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6712a3c87082321a8dea73da/c5f50798-7a62-4351-85f1-ef3213472e55/Way+To+The+Sun.jpg BLOG - 25 for ‘25: Rich’s Albums of the Year - 8. Way To The Sun - Minor Gold Every so often artists come along that had been hidden under the radar and what a joy it was to discover this duo on their latest Americana offering. Beautiful harmonies, crisp acoustic guitars - this year’s Gillian Welch and David Rawlings. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6712a3c87082321a8dea73da/72977dca-b26a-4edc-b972-cb3e1a9bde9d/Planting+by+the+Signs.jpg BLOG - 25 for ‘25: Rich’s Albums of the Year - 7. Planting by the Signs - S.G. Goodman Kentucky songwriting songstress strikes gold on her third album. Southern country-soul for the 21st century. Closer “Heaven Song” borders on the epic. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6712a3c87082321a8dea73da/37193ad1-cbe0-41cd-be3a-aa6e05acbd74/Remembering+Now.jpg BLOG - 25 for ‘25: Rich’s Albums of the Year - 6. Remembering Now - Van Morrison He’s back! Even the most blinkered fan couldn’t deny that some of Van’s recent output has fallen way below the standards set in his heyday. He seems to have viewed his upcoming 80th birthday last August as a call to arms and a chance to remind everybody why indeed he is the living legend we so eulogise. The beautiful “The Only Love I Ever Need Is Yours” should be reason enough to add this 68 minute effort to your Van collection. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6712a3c87082321a8dea73da/a1e5caf3-9999-4c74-b3c6-428407cf96dc/Get+Sunk.jpg BLOG - 25 for ‘25: Rich’s Albums of the Year - 5. Get Sunk - Matt Berninger The National lyricist and frontman’s second ‘solo’ effort is full of the cultured lyricism and dramatic moments one has come to expect. Opener “Inland Ocean” sets the tone and it continues right through to anthemic closer “Times of Difficulty”. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6712a3c87082321a8dea73da/651e0d03-f8ad-4bf8-a2b2-18e37e5d2a1b/Snocaps.jpg BLOG - 25 for ‘25: Rich’s Albums of the Year - 4.

When Youth Fades Away - Somebody’s Child Outstanding second album release from Dublin indie band tells a coming of age story which may well see them heading for huge stadia in 2026. A chugging powerful tour de force! Recommended. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6712a3c87082321a8dea73da/84e39d78-ae38-4743-a6a0-269b2db13209/Foxes+in+the+Snow.jpg BLOG - 25 for ‘25: Rich’s Albums of the Year - 2. Foxes in the Snow - Jason Isbell Superb musicianship, strong songwriting, painful lyrics in the wake of his breakup to Amanda Shires, Jason, here totally solo, is heading towards the peaks of his South Eastern period on this early March release. Highly recommended. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6712a3c87082321a8dea73da/f0726ec8-f4c2-411e-8724-c7257ad5f26f/Twilight+Override.jpg BLOG - 25 for ‘25: Rich’s Albums of the Year - 1. Twilight Override - Jeff Tweedy A triple album!!! Nooooo!! Can anybody name one decent triple album since All Things Must Pass? The Clash’s Sandinista was an honourable effort but the history of popular music is not littered with stunning examples. Along comes the Wilco frontman and gives us nigh on two hours of his gentler side on a production where little two or three minute gems are found throughout. To be doing this so deep into his career which started with Uncle Tupelo some 35 years ago is nothing less than awe-inspiring. https://www.kaleidiscope2blog.com/blog/a-night-out-with-somebodys-child monthly 0.5 2025-11-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6712a3c87082321a8dea73da/b48206bd-6917-4341-a907-d79b18bd5add/IMG_1146.jpg BLOG - A Night Out with… Somebody’s Child - Make it stand out Playing the air guitar with The Sherlocks frontman Kiaran Crook when the South Yorkshire band came to town in 2019. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6712a3c87082321a8dea73da/c87096fd-1fba-4557-a001-c2dab8442c26/Band.jpg BLOG - A Night Out with… Somebody’s Child - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6712a3c87082321a8dea73da/8f993bab-f60d-4da6-ab47-8e25de939539/Guitar.jpg BLOG - A Night Out with… Somebody’s Child - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.kaleidiscope2blog.com/blog/a-night-out-with-johnny-marr monthly 0.5 2025-11-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6712a3c87082321a8dea73da/ff9387d3-a46c-4e79-b5cd-5009fffe85f5/Johnny+Marr_1.jpg BLOG - A Night Out with… Johnny Marr - Make it stand out The Marr, the merrier: Johnny and his band in great form https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6712a3c87082321a8dea73da/ace72284-c219-4b7a-9571-955b4ae3ad69/Johnny+Marr_2.jpg BLOG - A Night Out with… Johnny Marr - Make it stand out The legend at work - see you soon, Johnny! https://www.kaleidiscope2blog.com/blog/a-night-out-with-lemonheads monthly 0.5 2025-09-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6712a3c87082321a8dea73da/3c17b760-7b94-4c9a-b59a-5bab61299d8f/Dando+Lemonheads.jpg BLOG - A Night Out with… Lemonheads - Make it stand out Evan Dando’s performance at Zürich’s Bogen F suggests rumours of his demise may actually be true. © Gareth Jones https://www.kaleidiscope2blog.com/blog/the-perfect-song-oasis-slide-away monthly 0.5 2025-07-25 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6712a3c87082321a8dea73da/54e5fc85-8ac7-4942-9b4a-b0a6d1991623/Oasis-walk-out-Cardiff.jpg BLOG - The Perfect Song #4 - Slide Away - Oasis - Make it stand out Noel and Liam Gallagher walk out for their first gig reunited on stage as Oasis in Cardiff, 4 July 2025. © Angus Jenner https://www.kaleidiscope2blog.com/blog/the-summer-of-neil monthly 0.5 2025-07-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6712a3c87082321a8dea73da/f858166e-f4d0-4a88-b664-7711f875c87f/Live+in+Berlin+with+Porges.jpg BLOG - 2025 - The Summer of Neil - Make it stand out This blog post’s author Rich (on the right) looking forward to once again seeing Neil live at Berlin’s Amphitheatre Wald Bühne together with long-time friend and (not so long-time) Kaleidiscope reader Adam Porges. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6712a3c87082321a8dea73da/edcd7834-a683-4936-8726-8947ee5f899d/Living+With+War.jpg BLOG - 2025 - The Summer of Neil - #12: Living With War (2006) His sixtieth birthday not long behind him Neil is not holding back as he vents his anger on the Bush regime. Tracks like “Let’s Impeach the President” and “Lookin’ for a Leader” indicate where his wrath is aimed. This three-time Grammy-nominated album showcases Neil at his most belligerent. Even without his trusty Crazy Horse backing band, the songs are belted out with gusto as choirs join in to provide optimism on the choruses of Dylan-inspired “Flags of Freedom” and closer “America the Beautiful”. An essential late period work. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6712a3c87082321a8dea73da/f2f51a79-617d-454f-bdbc-7bd2affcf96b/Sleeping+with+Angels.jpeg BLOG - 2025 - The Summer of Neil - #11: Sleeps With Angels (1994) The final words of Kurt Cobain’s suicide note were Neil Young lyrics from the album Rust Never Sleeps (more of which later) so Neil is here paying his respects with the grungy title track (he’s always on someone’s mind). Immediately followed by standout track “Western Hero” which reflects on other heroes who left too soon the album reaches a 14 minute peak with “Change Your Mind”. It’s possibly the most unlikely Crazy Horse album in style, but played a huge part in attracting new fans as he soon was to team up with Pearl Jam for the following year’s Mirror Ball. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6712a3c87082321a8dea73da/826be37d-324a-416d-a5cc-b354700e4922/Harvest+Moon.jpg BLOG - 2025 - The Summer of Neil - #10: Harvest Moon (1992) Harvest Moon represents a return to the middle of the road, which he had left twenty years earlier in search of something more interesting. If the waltzy title track itself doesn’t evidence this then the opening two songs surely do, the beautiful ode to then wife Peggy “Unknown Legend” followed by the contemplative “From Hank to Hendrix”, both songs gems of the softer side of Neil. A magnificent start to an album on a par with Harvest’s opening two tracks two decades before. And the similarities don’t stop there as the band on Harvest, the Stray Gators and backing singers all re-formed for the recording of the ten songs on the successor two decades later. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6712a3c87082321a8dea73da/7ea60977-fba0-44db-adfe-9b1198cfb96d/Greendale.jpeg BLOG - 2025 - The Summer of Neil - #9: Greendale (2003) Neil rounded up his trusty Crazy Horse members Ralph Molina and Billy Talbot for this - what many would consider surprise - entry in our top twelve. More a TC Boyle-esque short story than a collection of songs, Neil is in ranting mode again, venomously launching attacks on corporate giants and the mass media whilst issuing a rallying cry to protect the environment, often through the aptly named character Sun Green. It is no surprise given the direction of the political world in the days since this album’s release that Neil still includes two of its tracks on his recent live sets. “Be the Rain” - the track that most encompasses the message of this gem of an album with its simple call to ‘Be the ocean when it meets the sky (you can make a difference if you really try)’ - is a standout. The second 21st century album on this list and like the aforementioned Living with War this is essential. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6712a3c87082321a8dea73da/47191289-c0fc-4c72-8fe7-a5b51631b62e/Tonights+the+Night.jpg BLOG - 2025 - The Summer of Neil - #8: Tonight’s the Night (1975) The first 1970s album in our chart and certainly not the last, this is classic Ditch Trilogy Neil. The songs here were all recorded in preceding years, which is why Danny Whitten who passed in November ‘72 can be heard on “Come on Baby Let’s Go Downtown”, which re-surfaces here after its 1970 Live at Fillmore release. The musicians on this album are the core members of Neil’s two most trusted bands The Stray Gators and Crazy Horse, with the mercurial Nils Lofgren too making several appearances. For the album’s purposes they are now named The Santa Monica Flyers. It is a ramshackle record that veers all over the road to use Neil terminology. From the quivering voice of the title track through the seemingly preachy classic “Tired Eyes” to the gorgeous “Albuquerque” let us not let Neil kid us that this is not indeed some of his finest work despite the haphazard nature of its release. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6712a3c87082321a8dea73da/d6848715-10c4-4ed7-b84d-aba16c8cc6a3/Ragged+Glory.jpg BLOG - 2025 - The Summer of Neil - #7: Ragged Glory (1990) There are times in Neil Young’s life when he needs ‘the Horse’ and the sessions at his California Broken Arrow ranch with the classic Crazy Horse line-up (Talbot/Molina/Sampedro) was certainly one of those times. What stomping grungy rocking sessions they must have been as the Ragged Glory track selection was completed with classics that would form part of live sets for decades to come. It is the ultimate mid-period Young album as the 44 year old trades guitar licks with Sampedro backed by a relentless Molina/Talbot beat. The opener, the classic ode to his farm “Country Home” sets the scene and eight to ten minute follow-ups like “Over and Over”, “Days That Used to Be” and “Love to Burn” continue the relentless charge of the Horse over its hour long duration. Aficionados of this album would love the recently released live set Way Down In The Rust Bucket, which includes practically the whole of this glorious rock album. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6712a3c87082321a8dea73da/a20fb483-2c67-4c55-88ca-67d44a661456/Rust+Never+Sleeps.jpg BLOG - 2025 - The Summer of Neil - #6: Rust Never Sleeps (1979) Neil finishes the seventies on a high! With his trusted producers David Briggs and Tim Mulligan on board and the now classic Crazy Horse line-up re-convened for their second studio outing Young’s tenth album is littered with classic moments. So many in fact that a rank of six seems miserly. Many of the songs on this album were recorded four years earlier for the Zuma sessions, and appeared here for the first time highlighting the prolific nature of Young’s songwriting in first half of that decade. The track “Powderfinger” took Young eight years to complete. It is a monster, arguably his greatest song and greatest guitar riff. We can all offer our own interpretation. Personally, I like to see it as an attack on colonialism and the senseless loss of young lives in war, making the song as relevant today as it ever was. I continue to marvel at its brilliance some fifty years after it was written. Side one is acoustic, and “Powderfinger” opens the electric side two. Both sides of Neil close the decade with Neil musing that it’s better to burn out than to fade away. Magnificent. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6712a3c87082321a8dea73da/619138fa-a43d-4e70-ae14-f9f603dd833b/After+the+Gold+Rush.jpg BLOG - 2025 - The Summer of Neil - #5: After the Gold Rush (1970) Announcing his permanent arrival on the stage of singer songwriters, but one just as at home with a softly strummed ballad as a rock song, it is the softer songs that dominate. From the magnificent title track where he already seems to be predicting environmental destruction, through the beautiful “I Believe in You” and “Birds” and the song he wrote for Graham Nash on that bandmate’s split with Joni Mitchell, “Only Love Can Break Your Heart”. The original Crazy Horse with Danny Whitten and Nils Lofgren alongside Ralph and Billy provide the musical backdrop so were probably pleased when anti-slavery rocker “Southern Man” allowed them to let rip a little. Strange to think that on its release he was only twenty four with so much more to come. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6712a3c87082321a8dea73da/0c638a82-9c39-4ead-9dd3-79184f344448/Zuma.jpg BLOG - 2025 - The Summer of Neil - #4: Zuma (1975) Danny Whitten died in 1972, Neil Young’s Crazy Horse guitar-playing sidekick from the late sixties and early seventies. His song “I Don’t Wanna Talk about It” lives on as a hint of what might have followed. After the turmoil of the years 73/74 Neil was lucky to be offered a potential replacement in the form of Frank ‘Poncho’ Sampedro, who joined the Horse for Zuma and stayed for nigh on forty years allowing the band to develop that trademark sound with Neil thrashing his trusty Old Black with their unwavering support. Zuma is a classic album. Opener “Don’t Cry No Tears” is Young finally getting over his break-up with Carrie Snodgress. “Danger Bird” and the explosive “Barstool Blues” hint at the greatness to come on side two in the form of fan favourite “Cortez the Killer” as Young again - as he would do over the years - shows his distaste for the exploiters and destroyers of native communities. ‘And the women all were beautiful and the men stood straight and tall.’ Devastating comment on imperialism. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6712a3c87082321a8dea73da/4c8728a2-d400-4d20-894c-49f68b50f440/Harvest.jpg BLOG - 2025 - The Summer of Neil - #3: Harvest (1972) 1972, a 15 year old boy visits his friend, who is sitting on the sofa with an album cover in his hands whilst the disc plays a song about a man needing a maid. Some images stay forever. What an introduction to Neil Young. Vaguely aware at the time of his existence, this was when the seeds were planted for a lifelong relationship. The album itself is not too different in tone from the Goldrush of two years earlier, but in a way the songs are stronger with the Stray Gators and in particular Kenny Buttrey’s drumbeat and Ben Keith’s slide work giving the album a much more complete feel. From the auspicious beginnings of “Out on the Weekend” through “Harvest” to the song that gained him a million fans, “Heart of Gold”, we are in the presence of an album for the ages. Once “The Needle and the Damage Done” and “Old Man” have weaved their magic his job is done. Superstardom awaits, the thought of which doesn’t interest him too much, and leads us to… https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6712a3c87082321a8dea73da/49811d7f-2693-488b-baff-e170d19ee23c/On+the+Beach.jpg BLOG - 2025 - The Summer of Neil - #2: On the Beach (1974) Harvest was recorded during his relationship with ‘the actress’, the follow-up was recorded when the two were in break-up mode and also in the wake of a demanding and ultimately draining series of live dates which resulted in the Time Fades Away live album. Emerging from the debris, Young hits not so much ditch form as hard shoulder, spurning commercial hits but nonetheless making an album to stand alongside his very best. Gathered together are some Stray Gators, some Crazy Horse amongst others. Holding the whole album together is the title track which showcases some of his most sublime and controlled guitar playing and is worth the entrance fee alone. “Motion Pictures” and “See the Sky About To Rain” hint that the middle of the road wasn’t so far away, but “Ambulance Blues”’ Nixon reference is an indicator that Neil isn’t averse to ruffling a few feathers. ‘He never met a man who told so many lies’. As apt today as it ever was. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6712a3c87082321a8dea73da/24ea25e7-55df-4338-ac04-0c1f15f1ca03/Everybody+Knows+This+Is+Nowhere.jpg BLOG - 2025 - The Summer of Neil - #1: Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere (1969) For our top album why not go back to the very beginning when Neil, Billy, Ralph and Danny made that first Crazy Horse album and within it conjured up no less than three all-time Neil Young classics where the template for the harder side of Young’s songwriting was originated. It may be 56 years old now but “Cinnamon Girl” performed live these days sounds as fresh as it does on the opening three minutes here (Danny joining in the vocal). “Down By the River” closes side one in epic fashion and sets the standard for all the ten minute long Crazy Horse rockers to come, but the pièce de résistance which sends this album into 10/10 territory is surely the wonderful “Cowgirl In the Sand” with some of his most mesmeric guitar work together with Whitten, sounding even better on the Live at Fillmore East album that followed. Who knew in 1969 that we were in the presence of greatness? https://www.kaleidiscope2blog.com/blog/a-night-out-with-king-hannah-nick-cave-and-wunderhorse monthly 0.5 2025-06-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6712a3c87082321a8dea73da/b8750ed5-92c2-4a99-8f10-bf6e64d018fe/Wunderhorse+Selfie.jpg BLOG - A Night Out with… King Hannah, Nick Cave and Wunderhorse - Make it stand out This blog’s authors enjoying the pre-gig buzz at Mascotte awaiting Wunderhorse. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6712a3c87082321a8dea73da/156bd54a-9416-408a-a07b-7a1422ad4c43/King+Hannah_Live.jpg BLOG - A Night Out with… King Hannah, Nick Cave and Wunderhorse - Make it stand out King Hannah mostly played material from their recent Big Swimmer album, which ranked at #10 on this author’s 2024 Top 15 list. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6712a3c87082321a8dea73da/aff39cb9-d1e1-45c7-8563-0cb2221b4f13/Nick+Cave_Live.jpg BLOG - A Night Out with… King Hannah, Nick Cave and Wunderhorse - Make it stand out Wednesday’s gig was spent with a proper popular music legend in Nick Cave. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6712a3c87082321a8dea73da/dc281d7f-7d67-4778-a627-fd8df76b43ce/Wunderhorse_Live.jpg BLOG - A Night Out with… King Hannah, Nick Cave and Wunderhorse - Make it stand out Wunderhorse frontman Jacob Slater working his way through a high-octane set. https://www.kaleidiscope2blog.com/blog/the-album-intruders-ep-1-it-aint-easy monthly 0.5 2025-05-25 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6712a3c87082321a8dea73da/1677eb95-aca0-46a7-90cc-c007e5677dfb/David+Bowie+1972.jpg BLOG - The Album Intruders, Ep. 1 - It Ain’t Easy - Make it stand out David Bowie at the height of his powers as Ziggy Stardust. © Mick Rock, 1972/1973 https://www.kaleidiscope2blog.com/blog/the-return-of-the-grievous-angel monthly 0.5 2025-05-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6712a3c87082321a8dea73da/f4d513e7-befb-48ef-bc4d-37048a13652a/GramEmmylou.jpg BLOG - The Return of the Grievous Angel?

MJ Lenderman - Manning Fireworks MJ Lenderman’s fourth solo effort is a 35 minute angst-ridden, guitar-fuelled tour de force that harks back to Zuma-era Young, early Adams (not Bryan) and the heyday of Wilco. Heartbreak lonesome tales for the bedsitland generation. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6712a3c87082321a8dea73da/82dd5325-d92e-41d8-876e-914c597a7256/NickCave.jpg BLOG - 2024 Albums of the Year - Rich’s Definitive List - 2. Nick Cave - Wild God It seems as if Nick Cave’s late career from Skeleton Key, through Ghosteen and Carnage has all been leading up to this essential epic of quasi-religious grief-inspired explosion of rapture as the choir urge his public to join in the highs and lows of his quest for redemption in the wake of the tragedy of loss. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6712a3c87082321a8dea73da/f015ad6e-9d88-4305-be8f-85e8a081452f/Songs_of_a_Lost_World_the_Cure.jpg BLOG - 2024 Albums of the Year - Rich’s Definitive List - 3. The Cure - Songs of a Lost World I stand to be corrected but Neil Young has released about twelve new studio albums since the Cure’s last effort hit the stores. Robert Smith does things at his pace and this is relected in this wonderful late-period work that allows his avid followers to join him on the inevitable road to mortality. At times sensational. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6712a3c87082321a8dea73da/26c6d835-d028-4593-bdbd-000d833088bd/Waxahatchee_-_Tigers_Blood.jpeg BLOG - 2024 Albums of the Year - Rich’s Definitive List - 4. Waxahatchee - Tiger’s Blood How do you beat a classic album like Waxahatchee’s 2020 masterpiece Saint Cloud? Answer: You don’t. But here on Tiger’s Blood she makes a fine attempt crossing her alt-folk roots with a little touch of alt-pop. Tracks like Right Back to It and Lone Star Lake maintain little Katie Crutchfield’s hitherto excellence. The veritable shining star of the 2020s. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6712a3c87082321a8dea73da/0818fcdf-cdf5-45ce-bae2-09d904ac4e18/BrightEyes.jpg BLOG - 2024 Albums of the Year - Rich’s Definitive List - 5. Bright Eyes - Five Dice, All Threes If brass band backings, singalong choruses, whistling or harmonica intros all combined with guest appearances from vocal legends such as Matt Berninger are your cup of tea, then look no further than the magnificent return to form of Conor Oberst with his Bright Eyes collective! Their best since the classic 2005 album I’m Wide Awake It’s Morning. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6712a3c87082321a8dea73da/6dfd8e31-dc43-44b8-8c59-1831af74a717/The_Black_Keys_-_Ohio_Players.png BLOG - 2024 Albums of the Year - Rich’s Definitive List - 6. The Black Keys - Ohio Players The Black Keys (Dan Auerbach and Patrick Carney) hit the heights recently with their 2021 tribute album to Hill Country Blues, Delta Kream. Not ones to stay typecast for long, this latest effort pays homage to sixties soul, with outstanding singles grammy-nominated “Beautiful People (Stay High)” and the William Bell classic “I Forgot to be Your Lover” among the standout covers on parade here. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6712a3c87082321a8dea73da/5ecc2c12-7e58-4652-972f-881ad93ab727/TheDecemberists.jpg BLOG - 2024 Albums of the Year - Rich’s Definitive List - 7. The Decemberists - As It Ever Was, So It Will Be Again When a band bring out an album that makes you realise why you enjoyed them so much 15 years earlier it is indeed a time for celebration and this is undoubtedly the case with The Decemberists latest, replete with tales of yore. Colin Meloy’s brand of lyrical alt-folk could come from sixties Byrdsland. Dig those horns, strum those guitars. They are back! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6712a3c87082321a8dea73da/cf985db1-8faa-4392-a441-466256b3939e/Hurray-for-the-Riff-Raff.jpeg BLOG - 2024 Albums of the Year - Rich’s Definitive List - 8. Hurray for the Riff Raff - The Past Is Still Alive ‘We don’t have to die if we don’t wanna die’ sings Alynda Segarra in the opening line of this career peak offering, countering the rather morbid statements emanating from the Cave/Smith albums mentioned earlier. Leaving school at 15 didn’t harm Segarra’s career at all. A gem of American music. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6712a3c87082321a8dea73da/451d46cc-4ef7-42d0-b272-d88dbf9e4b20/TheVaccines.jpeg BLOG - 2024 Albums of the Year - Rich’s Definitive List - 9.

King Hannah - Big Swimmer On their second full length album, this Liverpudlian duo have made their breakthrough with their unique brand of alt-rock à le Lou Reed.

Muireann Bradley - I Kept These Old Blues What kind of precocious 17 year old acoustic country blues guitarist thinks she is already good enough to cover blues standards performed by the legends of the genre over a one hundred year timespan?
