Americana Highways highlights the new Kurt Deemer album, calling his recent Lloyd Cole cover of “From the Hip” one that’s “equally deep & melodic”
Some engaging singles include a fine cover of Lloyd Cole’s classic “From the Hip,” by Baltimore vocalist Kurt Deemer. Having an equally deep & melodic voice as Cole, Kurt’s new LP “World Upside Down,” should be equally striking.

BTRtoday praises David Croley Broyles’ new single/video “Hot Water”

Folk Radio UK debuts the latest video from Emily Moment for “Santa Maria,” calling it a “powerful, empathetic and moving song – the kind of song you can imagine Joan Baez singing.”
Emily breaks through the media noise to the reality of the situation with a very personal story of a mother, worn out and broken, praying to her god for salvation and mercy. There’s a lovely warmth to the sound of this recording, no doubt helped by her choice of studio: Urchin Studios — the London-area studio where Laura Marling tracked Short Movie several years earlier.
She makes it a human story…with her emotive voice at the forefront, it’s a powerful, empathetic and moving song – the kind of song you can imagine Joan Baez singing, let’s hope this one reaches as many ears, it deserves to.
