QUESTION TRADITION AND SURVIVE

Craig´´ Jenkins´ review, of Kasey Musgraves´ newly released album, Star-Crossed, lived up to the promise of that first sentence at the head of this piece, as he looked at her album, making sense of the lyrics and what they say about Kasey´s feelings at the time of writing them.

CLASSIFICATION; SIMPLY PERFECT Los Gofiones

Los Gofiones gave us songs of the sun, sea and sand. They sang working songs of what the late Nanci Griffith might have called Trouble In The Fields. The accompaniment was of strings, percussion and woodwind, and often of that incredible hand-clapping rhythm session.

KACEY MUSGRAVES seen and heard
