In its original incarnation as a March 1975 release on the British Disco Demand label, the Solid Soul Sensations compilation was important to spreading the popularity of the Northern soul genre. Taken exclusively from the vaults of Scepter Records and its Wand subsidiary, it actually made number 30 on the U.K. charts. In 2004, the Castle CD reissue of the album added ten bonus tracks, making it a 26-track survey of obscure mid-'60s to early-'70s Scepter/Wand soul. So it's one of the more prominent Northern soul compilations. (Richie Unterberger, Allmusic)

Hipbone Slim And The Knee Tremblers - Snake Pit '02
RAW DELINQUENT ROCKABILLY GARAGE LINK WRAY GUITARS AND A BO DIDDLEY BEAT IN THE GARAGE PUNK MOOD FROM LONDON ENGLAND
What can we say about this band? No other than it features three of Britain's most prominent and talented rock 'n' roll musicians, whose individual histories take in the best British Garage, Surf, Trash, Rock n Roll, Punk etc. bands of the last 20 years. Bandleader, guitarist and vocalist, Sir Bald has been described as 'The UK string king'(Kicks Magazine-Norton Records-US); in reference to his deranged Dick Dale-Link Wray surf guitar antics, He also plays with 'The Snags' (freaked out garage punk) and 'The Plus 4' (ska, rnb, funk etc. with Nass 'Big Boss Man' Bouzida). He is 'Britain's Best Kept Secret' according to Maximum RnR (USA). He has recently been playing with Holly Golightly (as heard on White Stripes 'Elephant' album). On slap bass is John 'Lard' Gibbs. He was a founding member of Scottish beat legends 'The Kaisers' and also plays with Holly Golightly and rhythm 'n' punk racketeers 'The Wildebeests'. Drummer, Bruce 'bash' Brand has been in more bands that you've had hot dinners! They include Milkshakes and Headcoats (both with Billy Childish), Masonics, Dutronc, Holly Golightly, Len Bright Combo (with Wreckless Eric), Dutronc, Clique and even played half the instruments on a Link Wray album. Needless to say their own brand of rockabilly, rock 'n' roll and blues is pretty darned hot! Their set consists mainly of original compositions. However, if asked nicely and plied with beer they may play some Garage Punk, Link Wray, Frat Rock or Rock n Roll covers, probably swapping instruments and definitely having a bloody good laugh. Influences include Gene Vincent, JohNny Burnette , Johnny Kidd, Link Wray, Benny Joy, Charlie Feathers, Chuck Berry, Bo Diddley, John Lee Hooker, Junior Parker and Johnny Cash.
Recorded at the amazing Toe Rag Studios/ London by Sir Liam Watson

Kevin Gordon - Cadillac Jack's #1 Son '98
Coming from North Louisiana, Kevin Gordon inherited the sound of Jerry Lee Lewis's rockabilly as a sort of birthright, yet he knew the dangers of simply copying that sound as if nothing had changed in 40 years. On his first full-length album, Gordon marries his twangy, catchy guitar riffs to lyrics that capture the voice of Southern, working-class whites, with the focus and economy of John Prine or Iris DeMent. The bouncy organ riffs recall producer Gary Tallent's old employer, Bruce Springsteen, who reinvented early rock 'n' roll in similar ways. Yet Gordon more closely resembles Dave Alvin, who also overcame vocal limitations with twitchy hillbilly guitar licks and with characters who were more realistic than heroic. The year's most underrated debut. --Geoffrey Himes
All right, I'll confess. The first time I put this disc in the player, I became one of those self-righteous whiners and thought to myself, "In a perfect world, Nashville would put records like this all over the radio, sell a bazillion copies and from now on, this would be mainstream country." Well, the world may not yet be perfect, but as roots rock records go, Cadillac Jack's #1 Son comes damned close.
On his first full-length release, Kevin Gordon has proven himself to be a master storyteller. His characters are so lifelike, and their stories so real, that the record feels like one long road trip with a bunch of friends. On the opening "Company Car", you can feel the beads of sweat on the cold beer between your legs while riding shotgun through small-town America. You can see the disappointment on the face of an underage fan waiting at the stage door in "Pauline", and feel the wind snarling your hair on "Lucy And Andy Drive To Arkansas".
Musically, the record is rock-solid as well. The band is tight on Gordon's songs (Gwil Owen co-authored four of the dozen), and the production of former E-Streeter Garry Tallent holds things together without interfering.
Like many artists whose music resides on the fringe of the country mainstream (Steve Earle, the Delevantes, Prairie Oyster, George Ducas and Kim Richey, to name a few), Gordon's sound is accessible enough to appeal to the masses, while his songwriting is substantive enough to engage those who want more than musical wallpaper. The chances of Gordon and his neighbors becoming the mainstream anytime soon are decidedly slim. But maybe they'll serve to bridge the chasm between the mainstream and all the great music that never makes it to the airwaves of country radio. (No Depression)

Duane Jarvis - D.J.'s Front Porch '94
Veteran sideman Duane Jarvis can be seen as a musician's musician. Before making his first solo album, he served time playing with such diverse acts as Aussie new wave rockers the Divinyls, Canadian power poppers the Odds, and country acts like Dwight Yoakam and Lucinda Williams. For his debut, Jarvis thankfully doesn't try to revisit every stop in his musical past, but instead he focuses on creating some blue-collar Americana. The twangy jangle of the leadoff track, "Full Moon Man," quickly establishes the musical tone: old school roots rock that he serves up in a variety of flavors. This subtle versatility is nicely exemplified midway through the disc. "A Little Bit of Hurt," with its '60s soul pop spirit, is followed by the blues-accented "I Can Hardly Wait." The record then moves on to side two -- another display of Jarvis' traditional musical values -- with the rave-up rocker "Good on Paper" and the slow honky tonk tune "She's Like a Drink." Vocally, Jarvis suggests a twangy cross of Marshall Crenshaw and Ray Davies. The Davies influence becomes more explicit on the enthusiastic cover of the Kinks' "This Is Where I Belong." The record's relaxed arrangements fit in perfectly with the down-home mood of D.J.'s Front Porch. Jarvis' guitar playing is sharp and versatile, while his brother/drummer Kevin Jarvis and bassist Bobby McDonald form a solid and suitably selfless rhythm section. Fans of no-frills bar rock will find a lot to enjoy on this disc. (Allmusic)

Marlon Williams - Marlon Williams '15
The second occasion I saw Williams on stage was later that year at a roots/bluegrass/alt. country festival (JamGrass) in urban Melbourne. This time, he somehow had managed to assemble a band of crack and highly regarded musicians. And the result was mesmerizing. I saw someone who looked like he was born to be on stage, to perform, to entertain us in his own unique way. Part Hank, part Elvis and part Roy Orbison. It was one of my best gigs of the year. (No Depression)
Rising alt-country star Marlon Williams releases his debut, eponymous debut album on April 24th 2015.
Recorded in Lyttelton, NZ with his longtime producer Ben Edwards, the album showcases why Williams has been called "the impossible love child of Elvis, Roy Orbison and Townes Van Zandt".
It is also the culmination of 18 months living in Australia, in which time Williams has established himself as the new face of alt-country, selling out national tours, performing at Byron Bay Bluesfest, Port Fairy Folk Festival, TEDx Sydney, Rockwiz on SBS, and touring alongside Justin Townes Earle and First Aid Kit.
