Review: Jim Patton & Sherry Brokus – Big Red Gibson

Patton and Brokus are back! This time, the Austin folk-rock duo have brought 20 songs to ‘Big Red Gibson’. Patton takes on most of the vocals on this latest album, as Brokus has been struggling with allergies. As far as the pair go, it is a more rock than folk entry into their discography, but anyone who has a distaste for overproduction will like this album. A little rough around the edges, but all the better for it. With the fun harmonies on ‘Janey Has A Locket’ being a highlight, the rock ‘n’ roll sound of ‘Big Red Gibson’ is really what we are here for – particularly the electric guitar on ‘Wild, Dumb and Unsatisfied’.    Read the full feature in our free digital magazine here: https://bit.ly/3WUe56j Never miss a story… Follow us on: Instagram: @Maverick.mag Twitter: @Maverick_mag Facebook: Maverick Magazine Media Contact Hannah Larvin, Editor, Maverick Magazine Tel: +44 (0) 1622 823 920 Email: editor@maverick-country.com

Review: Cole & Ward – Blues And Other Truths

On their debut album, Cole & Ward introduce themselves most with ‘Deep Blood Moon’. The track features swaggering guitar, whilst maintaining a tongue-in-cheek charm that’s undeniably funky. As the bluesy piano comes in, we are completely hooked. When Cole & Ward are at their most playful, they’re also at their best. There’s something refreshing about their sound, it’s not too overproduced but tracks like ‘Ma Jolie Fille’ sound as if they were made for summer. Spanning rock, country, folk and even a waltz, this album is a strange mix of songs (not that that is a bad thing). Top that all off with the track ‘Weird Dream’ and it all becomes explicitly clear: Cole & Ward are having fun, experimenting with sound and we are loving it too.    Read the full feature in our free digital magazine here: https://bit.ly/3WUe56j Never miss a story… Follow us on: Instagram: @Maverick.mag Twitter: @Maverick_mag Facebook: Maverick Magazine Media Contact Hannah Larvin, Editor, Maverick Magazine Tel: +44 (0) 1622 823 920 Email: editor@maverick-country.com
