[Album Review/Listen] – William Elliott Whitmore – “Field Songs”
Buy the album on Amazon – Vinyl | MP3 | CD William Elliott Whitmore is a jack of quite a few trades.

[Listen] – Brian Fallon’s New Solo Project – The Horrible Crowes – “Behold The Hurricane”
LBYB peeps, it’s been a great music day and it all started out with “Behold The Hurricane” – not literally, of course – that would actually suck…a lot. This is a hurricane of a different kind.
