Our Content
We have published over 4,100 posts and we have prided ourselves on posting new content every single day for 6 years! Of those posts, over 1,000 of those were interviews with indie artists and industry professionals and over 1500 them were CD Reviews! We are read in over 60 countries and on all continents, (though we have yet to break into the Greenland Market). Not bad for a bunch of crazy musicians, producers, engineers and Music Fans!
Of course I could not do this alone. Our CD review staff works tirelessly to review the best in Roots, Americana, Jazz, Funk, Soul, Rock, Blues, and so much more! I would like to thank them all!
