Haunting country blues singer Liz Stringer goes pop (a bit) on her fourth album Warm In The Darkness.

Stringer is up to her fourth album of heartbreaking roots blues but this one is a very different beast from the stripped-back and solo Tides Of Time.

Warm In The Darkness sees her bringing in lap steel, keys, backing vocalists to complement her full band, for her most lush (and almost pop) album yet.

She discusses Australiana in her lyrics, orchestrating the crew of guest musos, how her evocative stories appear, the blessing and curse of being a musician’s musician and critical darling, plus much much more.

ZZ Top Without Dusty and Frank Must Be Bittersweet for Billy Gibbons

It must be a strange feeling for Billy Gibbons to have to celebrate 50 years of ZZ Top on tour without his co-founders and best friends Dusty Hill and Frank Beard. The good news is that Gibbons is continuing the legacy of one of America’s greatest Blues-Rock bands.
