Robert Larrabee – Nothing Great Comes From Hate
By indiedockmusicblog | |
Rock and roll has always been, at its marrow, a literature of grievance. From the Delta blues hollering at injustice beneath a Mississippi sky to the snarl of punk tearing through Thatcher's Britain, the guitar has never been a neutral instrument. Robert Larrabee understands this. *Nothing Great Comes From Hate*, the Nashville veteran's latest single, plants its flag firmly in that tradition — and it does so without a shred of apology.
JR – Back In The Day
By indiedockmusicblog | |
*Fort Myers, Florida has produced its share of quietly remarkable things — but rarely does it send us a dispatch quite this emotionally loaded.*
Wattmore – It’s Called Love…It’s Called The Blues 
By indiedockmusicblog | |
**By the time most bands announce a debut album, they've already exhausted their welcome. Wattmore, refreshingly, appear to be just getting started.**
Peningo Riders – Duck That Jeep
By indiedockmusicblog | |
The beauty of American roots music lies in its stubborn refusal to take itself too seriously whilst simultaneously delivering the goods with impeccable musicianship. Peningo Riders grasp this duality with remarkable assurance on their debut single "Duck That Jeep," a track that positions itself squarely at the intersection of cultural phenomenon and legitimate Texas blues.
Molly Devine – Yes   
By indiedockmusicblog | |
The opening bars of Molly Devine's "Yes" arrive with the kind of deliberate quietness that suggests confidence rather than timidity. Those smoky chords, blues-inflected and unhurried, establish a mood of contemplation before the song gradually reveals its true ambitions. This is music that understands the value of restraint, even as it builds toward moments of unabashed abandon.
Lewis Stubbs Junior – Back Home to You   
By indiedockmusicblog | |
The American South has long proved itself a crucible for musical authenticity, and Lewis Stubbs Junior's latest offering emerges from that tradition with quiet, unassuming authority. "Back Home to You," recorded at Nashville's The Insanery with engineer Casey Wood, represents the Fairview, Tennessee native's most accomplished work to date—a meditation on redemption that refuses the easy comforts of sentimentality.
Until They Burn Me – A Carnival of Reveries  
By indiedockmusicblog | |
Cody Carlyle and Travis Jordan have spent three decades refining their musical partnership, and with *A Carnival of Reveries*, they've created something genuinely unsettling and magnificent. Released on the appropriately macabre date of October 31st, 2025, this isn't music for passive listening; it demands attention, lurking in shadows and dragging you through its murky, intoxicating world whether you're prepared or not.
Ezra Vancil – Babylove   
By indiedockmusicblog | |
There's a peculiar alchemy that occurs when an artist stops performing for an audience and starts excavating their own psyche with a pickaxe and a prayer. Ezra Vancil's "Babylove" achieves precisely this—a soul-baring excavation that feels less like a professional studio session and more like a séance with one's own ghost.
Lee Clark Allen – My World Is Yours
By indiedockmusicblog | |
Six years in the making, Lee Clark Allen's debut LP arrives as both confessional and communion, a 20-track odyssey that wears its heart so boldly on its sleeve you can practically see the bloodstains on the fabric. This Assistant Professor of English at the University of Minnesota Duluth—who doubles as a summer groundskeeper in the city's Rose Garden—has crafted something genuinely affecting here, a record that manages to transform personal turmoil into universal balm.
BLUES CORNER – Piggy Bank Blues
By indiedockmusicblog | |
The blues has always been the music of hard truths, and Blues Corner's latest single "Piggy Bank Blues" arrives like a punch to the solar plexus of complacency. This is not the sanitised, tourist-board version of the blues that clutters so many modern releases, but rather a piece of work that bears its scars with unflinching honesty.
