Back catalogue: Folk/Americana

Review: RECOMMENDED
It has been ten years since Turner and Snodgrass' first musical plan to work together. Back then, the whisky was apparently flowing as freely as the ideas, and the resulting record, Buddies, arrived to widespread acclaim. An album made with such love and comradeship you had to ask why the two weren't regular sparring partners.

A decade on and look where we bloody well are. As a result of coronavirus, Turner and Snodgrass couldn't even be in the same room as each other for the making of this, let alone stay drinking until the job is done. Nevertheless, the job is done, with a full album written in a single day, and friends like Stephen Egerton (Descendents/ALL) and Todd Beene (Lucero, Chuck Ragan, Glossary) drafted in to help. Not your average production, the result is equally unique - a heartwarming, personal, funny and often surprisingly uptempo rock 'n' roll collection-cum-talk show recording.
