Little Axe - If You Want Loyalty, Buy A Dog (Vinyl) Arlo Parks The First Time3

The First Time3

and more to suggest a quashed normalcy amidst dangerous circumstances

Adrian Utley's delightfully creepy guitar and keyboard work adorns the proceedings tastefully and effectively

Little Axe - If You Want Loyalty, Buy A Dog (Vinyl) Arlo Parks The First Time3An album that is beautiful, gently funky, and deeply, deeply sad against all odds, McDonald has taken musical elements that have little in common with the blues and used them to draw out the blues' deepest essence. There is not a single weak track on this album. It's an unusually moving and haunting document from one of the unsung heroes of American (and, oddly enough, Jamaican) roots music.
