Awhile ago I said I was going to run for President of the United States in Pennsylvania. My motivation was explained and I had hopes that it would come to pass that my name would be on the ballot, unfortunately this is no longer possible. But wait, there is a bright side. My Candidate Package came today. Cashing in at 9 pounds my stack of papers would choke even the most hardy of bureaucratic '...

After overloading on nothing but Coachella artists for the past month, it is nice to get to check out some of the stuff I have been reading about here.

When Willy Mason released his first album, 2004’s Where the Humans Eat he became the latest in a long line of troubadours to earn the “new Dylan” moniker. These comparisons weren’t without merit, especially when you consider first single Oxygen, a raging polemic against the evils of the modern world. The rest of the album was a triumph of gentle guitar, meandering vocals and witty lyrics t

WILLY MASON – IF THE OCEAN GETS ROUGH (2007)RATINGThere’s something endearing about the way in which Willy Mason conducts his singer/ songwriter lifestyle, a sense that he’s not bound by the chains of his art. He carries no inclination to appear hip, has no ego, chooses not to appear aloof from his audience, and reading and listening to interviews, one gets the impression that monetary rewar

Willy Mason is an exceptional folk-rock kind of artist. He's young and passionate and his music reflects real thoughts and feelings. No jive. Check out this track, "When The River Moves On," off his recent and second album, If The Ocean Gets Rough.Just so all the cards on the table here, my son co-manages Willy Mason (he also co-manages Bob Pollard of Guided By Voices fame, the French Kicks, De...

I've had Willy Mason's album 'If The Ocean Gets Rough' for a month or so now and I just can't stop listening to it. The whole album is amazing, there's not one dud track on it. It's difficult to pick out a favourite track, but if I did, I'd have to say...Riptide. It's just gorgeous and it also happens to be my most played track on my ipod at the moment.This album could well be a number one con...

First post :)Even though Tindersticks is releasing their new album (The Hungry Saw) this week, I think they will have to wait (after all, We had to wait a long time for it).I found this artist a while ago. Can't remember even how..He's amazing and his albums are beautiful. Here's his cover to George Michael's Careless Whisper. It's Bloody great.

Although the majority of Willy Mason fans will no doubt be revelling in the delights of the new album, i myself am still stuck on the first album. Im not taking anything away from this second album because i think whatever Willy Mason puts his voice or lyrics to is pure genius, but there is something raw and simple about 'where the humans eat'. I guess it could be the fact that the majority of ...
