Si Kahn and the Looping Brothers Album: It's A Dog Life Label: Strictly Country Genre(s): Alternative Folk Posted By: Joe Ross

Review
For 40 years, Si Kahn has been writing, performing and recording folk and bluegrass music. I first became familiar with the prolific artist and activist in the late 1980s and his releases on the Flying Fish label. All 13 songs on this album are originals, with ten previously unrecorded. Kahn’s writing is clear, coherent and expressive. Songs like “Government on Horseback,” “It’s a Dog’s Life,” and “Rats in a Maze” are witty, sarcastic and insightful. His music encourages people to assemble, collaborate and make a difference. Recorded in Germany, the project pairs Si Kahn with the Looping Brothers (a takeoff on the Louvin Brothers), a European band with a 23 year history that includes Ulli Sieker (mandolin, fiddle), Matthias Malcher (guitar, banjo) and Ralf Strottman (bass). Guest Nicke Widen plays Dobro on two songs. Of

Mark Doyle Album: Watching the Detectives: Guitar Noir III Label: Free Will Genre(s): Surf Posted By: Robert Silverstein

Review
Guitar fans in the know have been hip to Upstate NY guitarist Mark Doyle, and specifically his rock-based Guitar Noir series of albums. Released in the summer of 2019 is Watching The Detectives: Guitar Noir III, the third installment of Mark’s acclaimed guitar-noir series. For this third Guitar Noir album, Mark mixes up a fine batch of cover songs and new originals and the results are sonically stunning. The 1960s and the early ‘70s was clearly a great time to be into movie and TV soundtrack music and Mark chooses a pair, including the themes from television shows “Get Smart” and “The Untouchables”, merged with an early track by Elvis Costello called “Watching The Detectives”, to start things off on the opening “Detectives Medley” track. Theme songs from “Kojak” and “Man From U.N.C.L.E.” rub shoulders
Incendio Album: Summoning The Muse Label: Self-Release Genre(s): Crossover Jazz Posted By: Robert Silverstein

Review
One of the finest Contemporary instrumental, flamenco-flavored, guitar-based instrumental groups on the planet, Incendio returns in 2019 with their latest CD masterpiece appropriately entitled Summoning The Muse. A number of guest artists add in a range of instruments—from horns and percussion to accordion, Hammond B3, strings and even ‘virtual’ orchestration. Looking for a way to make their new album different or perhaps to move the sound a step forward compared to their earlier albums, Incendio co-founder / guitarist / composer Jim Stubblefield explains, “With Summoning the Muse, I’d like to think we’ve moved away from our rumba roots and into a broader contemporary instrumental sound that includes acoustic and electric guitars, keyboards, violin, etc. In fact, I think there is only one rumba out of 12 songs on the new album." Featuring a
Mark Cameron Album: On A Roll Label: COP Genre(s): Contemporary Blues Posted By: Duane Verh
Jul 8, 2019
Review
More of the same is a very good thing in the case of Mark Cameron’s new set. The not-the-everyday blending of a classic blues sound & ahead-of-the-pack songwriting that was the hallmark of 2017’s Live at Blues On The Chippewa is back, with a stack of tracks flavored with the MCB’s distinctive guitar-sax-and-harp front line and varied in mood and attitude. The infectious, darkly-shaded title track is a standout as is the slyly humorous “Dicey”. Other tracks of note include “Trouble Brewin’”, “Dirty Biscuit” and “Next Stop Is The Blues”.
Jon Durant Album: Alternate Landscapes Label: Alchemy Genre(s): New Age Posted By: Robert Silverstein
Jul 6, 2019
Review
Ambient-fusion guitar composer Jon Durant continues to amaze the music world with his 2019 solo CD called Alternate Landscapes. The perfect follow-up to Jon’s 2017 Parting Is album, the four-track Alternate Landscapes album features several cuts that clock in over 15 and 20 minutes with track 2, “Aragon” being the shortest, at nearly 7 minutes. As Jon has said, Alternate Landscapes heavily accentuates his ‘Cloud Guitar’ technique and as a result, his usual lead guitar sound has been further sublimated into the mix, replaced by ethereal, atmospheric ‘Cloud Guitar’ patterns for which Jon is very well-known. Compared to Jon’s work as a member of the adventurous instrumental fusion band Burnt Belief, Alternate Landscapes is yet another compelling Jon Durant solo album filled with impressionistic soundscapes that will surely appeal to listeners
