Mickey Newbury – Looks Like Rain

Elvis Presley’s performance of “An American Trilogy” in his groundbreaking 1972 global satellite concert and subsequent multi-platinum album Aloha From Hawaii helped bring one singer-songwriter to wider attention, far beyond his Nashville base. The portmanteau of traditional, patriotic songs from the 19th century was first assembled by Mickey Newbury who, back in country music’s stomping ground, was already making a serious name for himself. Starting out as a jobbing songwriter, he fashioned hits for Roy Orbison, Tom Jones, Kenny Rogers and many more, while also working tirelessly to give others a leg-up. He persuaded old-school country chart regular Roger Miller to take a chance on “Me And Bobby McGee” by new kid on the block Kris Kristofferson, and also encouraged cut-from-similar-cloth contemporaries Guy Clark and Townes Van Zandt to move to Nashville. Advertisement Newbury’s own recording career had humble beginnings, with the underwhelming 1968 debut Harlequin Melodies comprised mostly of self-penned material others had already put their mark on. The man himself all but disowned the record, unhappy with the production and arrangements foisted upon him by RCA, prompting a bold step away from industry norms into the realm of the fledgling country outlaws. The result was Looks Like Rain,… Read More →

Ryan Davis & The Roadhouse Band – New Threats From The Soul

This Ryan Davis is a happening type. A longtime mainstay of the Louisville, Kentucky, alternative arts and music scenes, he also co-founded the multimedia Cropped Out festival and runs his own Sophomore Lounge record label. He’s also a virtuoso storyteller, whose songs are mostly vast unfurling narratives with more verses than a poetry anthology. Davis served time previously in State Champion, across whose four albums of mostly familiar alt.country – think Son Volt, Silver Jews – there are tantalising hints on tracks like “Death Preferences”, “There Is A Highlights Reel” and “Brain Days” of the music he’s currently making with The Roadhouse Band. Davis took a five-year songwriting sabbatical after State Champion’s Send Flowers (2018). The songs he eventually started writing that duly appeared on 2023’s Dancing On The Edge uniformly had a fantastical new heft, often unspooling in the lengthy manner of Neil Young’s “The Last Trip To Tulsa”, say, or Songs: Ohia’s “Farewell Transmission”, cryptic, discursive, touched by the absurd. The sensational New Threats From The Soul is a further elaboration of this digressionary poetry, seven songs that mostly find Davis ruefully considering life and what it’s become, asking the question on everyone’s lips. Is there a point… Read More →
