2025 has been a good (albeit expensive) year so far, with some quality album releases before we're even halfway through.
I've compiled a 45-minute selection of a dozen artists that have been floating my boat.

There's been a few superb releases on LNFG, and I'm particularly enjoying the Garth Sager releases. The Cowboy Mouth gig to launch their album was also a more than decent night out.
ReplyDeleteI'll second your opinion on the Gareth Sager albums, likewise The Cowboy Mouth. I'd never heard of the latter before LNFG, so another reason to appreciate Ian and the label for what they do.
