Fundraiser: James Kahn partners with AmericanaUK and Save The Whales to debut his new video for “No More a’ Whalin’.” Donate and receive a complimentary download of his entire new album By the Risin’ of the Seas.

SoCal singer/songwriter, Emmy-nominated TV writer-producer & novelist James Kahn's seventh album, By the Risin’ of the Sea, turns our expectations of traditional sea shanties on their heads by confronting our modern environmental struggles.

Beginning with the low drone of Adam Phillips’ pastoral bagpipes and then Kahn’s timeless folk-vocal, ‘No More a’ Whalin”  succeeds in transporting us across both time and place.  The song is held together by the low heartbeat thump of Rebecca Troon’s bodhran, beating out an absorbing rhythm, while David West and Doug Clegg deliver gorgeous, rich backing vocals, harmonies that rise and soar, lifting Kahn’s own voice. 

Using the power of music to help creatures famous for their song is a great idea.  James Kahn has teamed up with Save the Whales for this exciting project.  We urge everyone to donate to Save the Whales via this link.  On the donations page, write ‘James Kahn’ in the notes section and then you’ll receive a ‘thank you’ from Save the Whales along with a link to download the entire new album ‘By the Risin’ of the Seas’ free of charge.

Ghettblaster Magazine reviews the new album from Portland Maine punk rock trio theWorst

Occasionally the unknown offers things that you wouldn’t normally encounter with the familiar. In this case, we get something that’s obnoxiously loud and abrasive with no fucks given tossing around melodies like dollar bills at a strip club. It’s in reference to TheWorst, the band with no space in between its name, out of Portland, Maine. READ MORE…

OffBeat Magazine reviews Shawn Williams’ new LP, Wallowin’ in the Night, calling it “a fitting album for someone who aesthetically is like Lee Ann Womack entering a goth phase.” 

Wallowin’ in the Night is what it says on the box—sad songs about love and the back and forth between devotion and loss. It’s a fitting album for someone who aesthetically is like Lee Ann Womack entering a goth phase. I don’t claim to know Williams’ story—if this album is about one or more people or if she wrote about real relationships.

Lonesome Highway reviews Shawn Williams’ new album, Wallowin’ in the Night, noting its “driving riffs and hardened edges that allow Williams to deliver incisive and emotive vocals.”

There is a feeling that Williams, like her namesake Lucinda, has picked up on her mantle for delivering female-based perception and attitude in the Americana sphere, something that can only get better as time goes along, and age and experience are further brought to bear on her already impressively honed skills.
