Not Forgotten: Aretha Franklin – I Never Loved a Man the Way I Love You
From a modern perspective, it’s staggering to look back at the career of Aretha Franklin and realised that at the point in her career in 1967, when I Never Loved a Man the Way I Love You was released, it was in fact her eleventh full length album since 1961. Franklin had already recorded ten …

Meet: Sextile – Dark primitive post punk from outerspace

New Music : Chris Darby’s “Don’t Look Back”
The Chicago-based singer/songwriter Chris Darby first hit my radar back in late 2014.
