In The Whale- Full Nelson
by Tim Wenger In The Whale brings the over-the-top energy of their stage show and momentum of the last year+ spent on the road into their new EP Full Nelson. I went back and listened to the opening track “Radio” again two additional times after a full listen thru of the five tracks and actually […]
Trout Steak Revival- Brighter Every Day
by Tim Wenger In Colorado, there is no shortage of bluegrass music. Quite the opposite in fact, and from what we have seen cross the desk here at CMB the groups that stand out have two things in common- knockout vocal harmonies and the ability to showcase solid lead parts on instruments other than the […]
Sub Station- Crack In The Mirror
by Thom Jackson Sub Station has continued doing what they do well with the new record Crack In The Mirror. An interesting fusion of Americana and jazz with smoky trumpet lines and coupled with soothing, heartfelt lyricism. The only problem is, I cannot seem to figure out when would be the optimal time to listen […]
Luna Sol- Blood Moon
by The Swami “We like it loud, dark, and heavy.” Yes, they do, and a successful achievement at that.

The Stubby Shillelaghs- Uisce Beate: The Water of Live
by Tim Wenger First off- the intro track to Uisce Beata: The Water of Live, the new live album from The Stubby Shillelaghs, is a winner in itself. Any band that takes the opportunity to throw a nice jab at EDM and frat boys in front of a live audience is by default a friend […]
Cary Morin- Tiny Town
by Tru Blue It’s a rare occasion when you hear a down home blues beat that sets your feet to tappin’ in an instant. Cary Morin’s Tiny Town CD does just that. It’s full of perfectly written and performed good time music masked with broken hearted blues. Cary Morin’s story telling prowess is as good […]
Chris Daniels and The Kings- Funky to the Bone
by Jennifer Marriott Hot Damn! This album is great! If you are ready to dance your butt off, this is the album to buy. One track “Dance, Dance, Dance” is an old Freddi Henchi Band tune revived again by Chris and Freddi, along with the title track “Funky to the Bone”. There are so many […]
