Michael Leonard Witham has just released his debut album, A Scandal In The Violets. Over the course of 10 tracks, Witham is able to establish an eclectic style that touches upon country, rock, alternative, and folk music while sounding utterly current.Sorry Girl But The Show Is Over is an interesting composition that is a mélange of alt-country and singer-songwriter style. Imagine hints of Conor Oberst, Rufus Wainwright, and Billy Joel…
Patterson Pumpkin is the first pumpkin-focused beer that we have had the chance to review so far this year. The imperial aspect to this pumpkin ale allows the beer to have a proper bite to it instead of focusing on the sweetness of the pumpkin. The beer pours a darkish amber / orange with a thick, off-white head that is slow to dissipate.
Smuttynose released Bouncy House last year in a Short Batch series, and has shifted production of this session IPA / American pale ale over to a more consistent format. The beer pours with a golden brown. There is a small amount of off-white head that rapidly dissipates quickly. The effervescence of the beer creates a lighter profile on one’s palette, while hints of hop and juniper come forth with each…

The beer pours with a head that lasts, with a body that is boldly yellow and slightly hazy / cloudy. The initial nose is a little bit sweet with hints of herbs.
Though Bonnie Raitt was nearly 20 years into her career by the time she released Nick of Time, her 10th album, it was that record that really brought her Blues-infused rock to the masses. UMe has just re-released this seminal album on vinyl in honor of its 25th anniversary, remastered from the original analog tapes.
Hello, Josey. It’s a pleasure to meet you. Cowgirls is your latest track. Can you provide us with an insight about how the track came to be? Cowgirls is a song that we had on the back burner for a while because we could not completely decide on if I should do it or not. Finally we decided we would go ahead and cut the track. I worked with the same…
