DANI DORCHIN One Man Band
DANI DORCHIN One Man Band. Autoprod. This is one of those albums that take you back to the days of the old one man and a dog sort of raggy, bluesy thumping-along style of jangling blues.

DAN BAIRD & HOMEMADE SIN Circus Life
DAN BAIRD & HOMEMADE SIN Circus Life Jerkin’ Crocus Promotions These guys are 75% of the original Georgia Satellites and 25% of Jason & The Scorchers which info should give a clue to this band’s music – loud, sweaty, shit kicking, good time rock ‘n’ roll which, if you are old enough, will immediately transport you […]
