Well, I shouldn’t say I hate it, because I’m a big fan of some bands that do exactly that, but it’s really nice ..."  [+]  Reply

"Another mellow laid back album from J.J.Cale. Troubadour, adds brass to his already relaxed grooves. Good songs in, cocaine, travellin' light, and, hey baby. Cool stuff."  Reply

"In my opinion this albums varies a lot in quality, too many tracks borders on a more reggae/dub-foundation than her previous album, which I don't think suits the amazing Merrill Garbus. The last track also sounds like M.I.A., which doesn't suit her either. And frankly Nikki Nack lacks some of the..."  [+]  Reply

"God willin', is Ray Lamontagne's Americana album. A lovely collection of superb acoustic tracks. Obviously inspired by the Laurel canyon scene of the late sixties/early seventies, it's best cuts include, repo man, new York's killing me, and, this love us over.
