Carrington MacDuffie - Only an Angel
Review by Gary Hill
This is quite an intriguing EP. It’s very much set in an Americana style with the predominating sounds here based on country music.
 

More
Pete Macleod - Rolling Stone
Review by Gary Hill
Looking just to the album proper, this is nearly perfect.

More
Madd Scientist - New Day
Review by Gary Hill
This fairly short hip hop EP is solid and entertaining. There is a decent range of sound, but it all leans toward the electronic, dance oriented zone.

More
Madeleine - Stoned and Bored
Review by Gary Hill
There was a time when pretty much all music coming out of Nashville, Tennessee was country, or at least heavily country leaning. Those days are gone, and this album is an example of that.

More
Madonna - Ray of Light
Review by Gary Hill
In the interview that appeared on this site last month (see the interview archives - or check out the audio of that interview in the members area), Dave Brock mentioned the title track to this album as being space rock, so I decided to run this review.
More
Madside - Madside
Review by Gary Hill
If you like alternative rock, nu metal or other recent forms of hard edged music, you probably should give these guys a try.
More
Paul Maged - Light Years Away
Review by Gary Hill
This set is a bit uneven. Personally, I tend to think that opener is the weakest cut here.

More
Paul Maged - The Glass River
Review by Gary Hill
This is the newest EP from Paul Maged, and it falls under the alternative rock category. Within that general label, despite the fact that there are only a few songs, there is quite a bit of sonic range.

More
Paul Maged - Diamonds and Demons
Review by Gary Hill

Punk and good old fashioned hard rock merge on this. It has a bit of a DIY vibe, but that’s not a bad thing. 


More
Paul Maged - The Resistance (digital single)
Review by Gary Hill
This new single from Paul Maged is a bit rough around the edges in some ways, but that's one of its charms. This is definitely an indie type release.

More
Paul Maged - Fight to the Death
Review by Gary Hill
I've reviewed quite a few releases from Paul Maged so far. He always manages to deliver.

More
Paul Maged - Culture War
Review by Gary Hill
Paul Maged always delivers. It seems to me that he keeps putting out better and better music, too.

More
The Magic Lightnin’ Boys - The Magic Lightnin’ Boys
Review by Gary Hill
These guys really manage to bring the classic kind of hard rocking sound and make it their own.

More
Magical Beasts - When Love's a Stranger
Review by Gary Hill
There has been a big movement toward roots music in the last decade or so. I have to wonder if it's a response to the over-production of so much modern pop music.

More
Magical Beasts - Peninsula
Review by Gary Hill
These guys are definitely tied to the modern roots music trend. That means they land somewhere in the neighborhood occupied by things like folk, bluegrass and more.

More
Magical Beasts - Yes, My Love, I am Reaching
Review by Gary Hill

I previously reviewed another set from this Chicago based roots music outfit. I think that one was more effective than this one is.


More
Magna-Fi - Burn Out The Stars
Review by Gary Hill
I got this CD as part of my coverage of the bands that will be performing at Ozzfest. As much as I like heavy metal, there is usually a certain sameness to the vast majority of the bands that perform there.
More
The Magnifiers - For the People
Review by Gary Hill
I suppose the big story here is the lineup of this band. The group is made up of four Chicago siblings ranging in age from 10 to 17.

More
The Magpie Salute - High Water II
Review by Gary Hill

When you spin this disc you might feel as if you've climbed into a time machine and wound up in the 1970s. The music here most often feels like it could have been released in that era.


More
Jonathan Bannon Maher - The Fallout of Love (Digital Single)
Review by Gary Hill
I like this a lot. It’s pretty solid pop rock music, but there are other things going on here.

More
Molly Maher - Follow
Review by Gary Hill

This is a hard set to pin down. There is a lot of Americana here, but it also works toward dreamy territory, psychedelia and more.


More
The Mailman’s Children - Spiders We Eat
Review by Gary Hill
I suppose you could call this alternative rock, but there is quite a bit going on here.

More
Major Moment - One Small Step
Review by Gary Hill
This is quite an intriguing set. One thing that makes this stand out from a lot of modern music is the fact that this is really a cohesive set of music rather than a bunch of songs just sort of put together.

More
Man Called Noon - Everybody Move
Review by Gary Hill
The three songs here all fit under the "fun" category. This is best described as "good times pop rock."

More
Henry Mancini - Mancini in the Sixties: Two Classic Film Soundtracks
Review by Gary Hill
I've always enjoyed Henry Mancini's soundtrack work. Sure, it's often a bit on the light side of the musical spectrum.

More
Harvey Mandel - Snake Box
Review by Gary Hill
This is a massive set.

More
Manilow - Cease and Desist
Review by Gary Hill
There are only four songs on this EP, but there is a lot of variety.

More
Ray Manzarek & Roy Rogers - Twisted Tales
Review by Gary Hill
Roy Rogers is a slide guitar expert and Ray Manzarek was the keyboard genius behind the Doors.

More
The March Violets - The Palace of Infinite Darkness
Review by Gary Hill
I have to admit to never hearing this band before. This collection is an intriguing introduction to an unusual group. 

More
MARG - The Voices
Review by Gary Hill
"MARG" is the stage name of Margarita Landry, and this is her new album. Fans of modern female pop singers will like this a lot.

More
Chrystyna Marie - Loaded Gun
Review by Gary Hill
I absolutely love this EP. My only complaint is that I wish there was more of it.

More
Elisha Marin - Shining Out
Review by Gary Hill
There is not a weak song here. However, this set would probably be a case where less is more.

More
Frank Marino - and Mahogany Rush-Eye of the Storm
Review by Gary Hill
There were two predominant views of Frank Marino in the '70s. The first was that he fit into the guitar hero group of such people as Pat Travers, Ted Nugent, and Robin Trower

More
Frank Marino - and Mahogany Rush - Real LIVE!
Review by Bruce Stringer
Almost 2 years ago MSJ published an exclusive interview with Canadian rock legend Frank Marino concerning his upcoming live album, which at that very time - literally - Frank was editing.
More
Mars Hall - Is Anybody Out There?
Review by Gary Hill
I have never heard of this Madison, Wisconsin band before. Well, I am definitely glad they are on my radar now.

More
Marsden - Tune It Out
Review by Gary Hill
This is quite an interesting album. It sits firmly in the alternative rock zone, but there is a good range within.

More
Flav Martin & Jerry Marotta - Soul Redemption
Review by Gary Hill
With Jerry Marotta as part of this (and Tony Levin as a guest) I had been expecting something along the prog or fusion lines of sound.

More
The Mascot Theory - Every Sign of Life
Review by Gary Hill
This album is a classic example of less being more. There is not a weak song on the disc.

More
Jason Masi - Power of a Woman
Review by Gary Hill
There is a real retro, classic soul element to this. That works really well.

More
Hugh Masterson - Lost + Found
Review by Gary Hill
This is the kind of set that gets into your ear and just won't let go. It's a roots music based excursion that's very effective. 

More
Joe Matera - Terra Firma
Review by Gary Hill
This is a good album. It’s got some cool songs.

More
Nathan Mathes - Anajune Rival
Review by Jason Hillenburg
Nathan Mathes, a Wisconsin based singer/songwriter with a handful of self-released collections to his credit, has released his latest effort, Anajune Rival.

More
Ajay Mathur - Little Boat
Review by Gary Hill
This album covers ground ranging from folk rock to blues based stuff and psychedelia.

More
Krissy Matthews - Monster in Me
Review by Gary Hill

This set features a nice selection of songs. The music here works between hard bluesy rock, alternative, more melodic stuff and nearly metal songs.


More
Max Fite - Shake It On Down
Review by Gary Hill

This EP is an intriguing release. It has a lot of alternative rock along with roots music and more.


More
Maxx the Muffin Man - Every Summer Since
Review by Gary Hill
This is an intriguing hip hop album. The musical backdrops are always interesting.

More
John Mayall - and the Blues Breakers - Road Dogs
Review by Gary Hill
John Mayall is without question a legend. The man has been making blues for more years than a lot of musicians around today have been alive.
More
John Mayall - and the Bluesbreakers – Stories/Road Dogs/In the Palace of the King
Review by Gary Hill
This three CD set is a great value and allows fans to get three killer John Mayall albums in one place.

More
Mazz XT - At the Brink of Eternity
Review by Gary Hill

I dig this hard rocking set. The mix of sounds lands in the vicinity of alternative rock, but there is metal, punk and more here.


More
Steve McCormick - Louisa
Review by Gary Hill
I really like the retro sounds on this release. The album covers quite a bit of range within that basic concept. .

More
Charlie McCoy - Screamin', Shoutin', Beggin' And Pleadin' - The Rock 'n' Soul Recordings 1961-69
Review by Gary Hill
This collection of music from Charlie McCoy covers a lot of territory. I really like parts of this a lot, particularly the more rocking stuff.

More
Jimmy McCracklin - Rocks
Review by Gary Hill
Have you heard of Jimmy McCracklin? Well, he was a musician plying his trade for decades.

More
Andrew McCutcheon - Out of the Lion`s Mouth
Review by Gary Hill
This CD is the debut for both McCutcheon as a solo artist and Plum Meat as a label. It is a very pleasing EP that combines varied `60`s influences with modern leanings
More
Andrew McCutcheon - Second Sun
Review by Gary Hill
On this, his second CD, McCutcheon shows a different side of himself musically. Still firmly rooted in the sounds of the `60`s and `70`s, this release seems to take on more modern alternative sounds as well.
More
Julia McDonald - Gravity
Review by Gary Hill
Julia McDonald is talented. There is nothing in this set that I would call "weak."

More
Kenny McGee - Kenny McGee
Review by Brian Angotti
From the "where are they now files" we find Kenny McGee, a soulful vocalist and the mastermind behind the band Julliet.
More
Chantel McGregor - Shed Sessions - Volume 1
Review by Gary Hill
Chantel McGregor, who I have covered in the past, did a lot of musical performances during Covid lockdown.

More
Chantel McGregor - Shed Sessions Volume 2
Review by Gary Hill
I've reviewed a couple things from Chantel McGregor before. That includes the first "Shed Sessions" disc.

More
Jimmy McIntosh - Jimmy McIntosh And...
Review by Gary Hill
If you like guitar music, you really should give this a try. 

More
Gus McKay - Talisman
Review by Gary Hill
Gus McKay's sound is gritty and down to earth. He calls to mind people like Bob Dylan, Tom Waits and Lou Reed.

More
Scotty McKay - Rocks
Review by Gary Hill

This new compilation CD captures some solid rock and roll music. This is very much old school music.


More
Sandy McKnight - W/ Fernando Perdomo - San Fernando Blitz
Review by Gary Hill
This short EP contains some effective music. There is a real mainstream pop rock vibe to all of it, but there is a decent range within that heading.

More
Sandy McKnight - with Fernando Perdomo - San Fernando Beat
Review by Gary Hill
I have two reviews of this duo in this issue of Music Street Journal. The other one, the newer of the two, is definitely the better release.

More
Sandy McKnight - w/ Fernando Perdomo San Fernando Blast!
Review by Gary Hill
This duo previously released a couple EPs that I reviewed. Fernando Perdomo is a frequently covered artist at MSJ.

More
Ali McManus - Unbreakable
Review by Gary Hill
On the one hand, I feel it does the music here a disservice to focus on the health adversities that Ali McManus has faced (and is still living through).

More
Big Jay McNeely - Blowin' Down the House - Big Jay's Latest & Greatest
Review by Gary Hill
This album is a classy set. I'm not blown away by everything here, but it works reasonably well.

More
Big Jay McNeely - Honkin' & Jivin' At the Palomino
Review by Gary Hill
This is a two-disc set. Still, it's basically in the range of 41 minutes.

More
Big Jay McNeely - I'm Still Here - Big Jay Sings the Blues
Review by Gary Hill
As you can probably tell from the title, Big Jay McNeely's new set turns the attention to the blues. This is quite an effective disc with several standout tunes.

More
M. CRANE - Swearing off Fame
Review by Gary Hill
While the name "M. CRANE" might make one think that this is a solo artist, that is actually the band name. Over the years the one constant in the band has been singer, song-writer Nick Maskill.

More
Jenna McSwain - Enjoy Your Space
Review by Gary Hill
This is such a great EP. I had no idea what to expect going in, and I was completely blown away. I think that this will probably make my "best of 2022" list.

More
David McWilliams - Lord Offaly
Review by Gary Hill
This is a new reissue of an album from 1972. I like the blend of folk music and mellow rock on this set.

           


More
The Meatmen - Savage Sagas from the Meatmen
Review by Gary Hill
There is a definite link between hardcore punk and metal.

More
Medicine Hat - Blood and Bone
Review by Gary Hill
This is quite an intriguing set. It calls to mind things like the Rolling Stones most often, but it moves into full country territory, modern alternative rock stylings and more.

More
Michael Medley - Christmas Piano-We Three...
Review by Gary Hill
 Michael Medley (who although not a household name, has done 5 recordings, including a live video) released this CD of solo piano Christmas songs several years ago.
More
The Members - Version
Review by Gary Hill
The Members are a punk band dating back to the original days of the 1970s. This new album includes their covers of a lot of great music.

More
Jake Merritt - Old Soul
Review by Gary Hill
There is a fairly wide range of sounds here from roots music to jazz, alternative and more. It's all delivered with a maturity and proficiency that is admirable.

More
Metaspion - Pyros (digital single)
Review by Gary Hill
Metaspion is a Norwegian electronic artist. This song features vocals from hip hop artist Skam R' Tist.

More
Metaspion - Cryptomeduza
Review by Gary Hill
There are definitely hints of heavy metal at times here, but more often industrial music. That said, the electronic elements are one of the largest driving factors, leaning it toward EDM.

More
The Meteors - Skull N Bones & The Curse of Blood and Bones
Review by Gary Hill
This music is something called "Psycho Billy." To me that means a blending of old school rock and roll, surf music, punk rock and frequent horror and science fiction themes.

More
The Metronomad - Opening Doors
Review by Gary Hill
This is a pretty cool set. It has a lot of folk in the mix, but there is more here, too – from jazz to alternative rock and more..

More
Midwest Dilemma - Searching For The Cure For Loneliness
Review by Gary Hill
This set is varied and intriguing. The sound is at times quite folk based.

More
Midwest Soul Xchange - New American Century
Review by Gary Hill
I dig the blend of classic sounds on this beast.

More
Mighty Quinn - Mighty Quinn & the Oakland Ronin
Review by Gary Hill
The easiest description here is to say that this is punk rock. Everything you love and everything you don't like about punk rock is present on this set.

More
Jarad Miles - Standing Upon This Array
Review by Gary Hill
I have to say that I really like this release a lot. The musical genre is hard to pin down, and that's just one of the appeals to this.

More
Sean Miller - Everywhere I Roam
Review by Gary Hill

Sean Miller hails from Michigan where he is part of the band The Real Ingredients. This is his new solo release.


More
Mimo - Mars Took Over
Review by Gary Hill
Mimo is an intriguing artist, with an emphasis on the "art" portion of that equation.

More
The Mirage - The World Goes On Around You
Review by Gary Hill
This is a collection of music from an outfit that went by a number of different names. They seemed to touch on as many types of different 1960s music, too.

More
The Missing Frets - Pipe Dreams
Review by Gary Hill

The roots of this act go back to South Africa. That's where songwriter, guitarist Shaun Lovell linked up with bassist Bind Lovell.


More
Missing Persons - Missing in Action
Review by Gary Hill
I always liked Missing Persons.

More
Missing Persons - Dreaming
Review by Gary Hill

More
Damon Mitchell - Like You're In A Dream
Review by Gary Hill
Ohio-based songwriter and musician Damon Mitchell has released a fine album with Like You're In A Dream.

More

More

Review by Gary Hill
This is not the usual folk music collection. These songs were recorded in 1981.

More
Joey Molland - Return to Memphis
Review by Gary Hill
Joey Molland’s greatest claim to fame is arguably his tenure as the guitarist in Badfinger. 

More

First off, this album is actually released under the name “Joe Molland.”

More

Review by Gary Hill
Joey Molland is probably best known for his work in Badfinger.

More
Molly Hatchet - Warriors of the Rainbow Bridge
Review by Mike Korn
After more than 30 years of riding the highways of America and elsewhere and a year full of tragedy and trial, Jacksonville Florida's Molly Hatchet release a defining album that stands as a kind of Southern rock mission statement.
More
Molly Hatchet - Fall of the Peacemakers: 1980 - 1985
Review by Gary Hill
This four CD set captures Molly Hatchet in a period of time where they seemed to be struggling to find their identity.

More
The Mollys - Hat Trick
Review by Gary Hill
The description "Irish stew spiced with jalapenos"(No Depression No. 3 Jan/Feb 1998) has been applied to this band, and it seems to fit quite well. T
More
MonaLisa Twins - When We’re Together
Review by Gary Hill
So, if you liked a lot of the music of the 1960s, you will probably like this outfit.

More
MonaLisa Twins - Play Beatles and More
Review by Gary Hill
I like MonaLisa Twins a lot. So, I was looking forward to this set of covers.

More
Colin Roy Monette - Lucky*
Review by Gary Hill

There is a lot of good music here. None of this lands in the category of weak, either.


More
Colin Roy Monette - Simple Gifts
Review by Gary Hill
This album is a mostly acoustic set that has plenty of roots music at its core.

More
Money For The Toll - Do`s Cup Of Tea
Review by Gary Hill
This release is a live recording of the band Money For The Toll. The music on this album is hard-edged rock with solid prog elements.

Review by Gary Hill
When I reviewed their previous EP in the last issue of Music Street Journal I remarked that I’d like to hear more from these guys.

Review by Gary Hill
These guys have done a very smart thing.

More

Review by Gary Hill
I’ve always been a big fan of Gary Moore’s brand of rocking blues (or bluesy rock, depending on the song).

More
Liam Moore - Visions of a Perfect Life
Review by Gary Hill

A lot of modern music draws heavily on roots music. This is one such set.


More
Todd Warner Moore - Spark
Review by Gary Hill
If you like artistic, creative folk music, there is plenty here that should please. There are no particularly weak songs here.

More
Todd Warner Moore - Love & Change
Review by Gary Hill
I reviewed a previous set from this artist. I liked that one a lot, but thought that perhaps a few songs could have been pulled from the disc to make it stronger.

More
Todd Warner Moore - Starry Sounds
Review by Gary Hill
I previously reviewed another disc from this artist. In that review I said that it needed some more variety to keep it more interesting throughout the release.

More
Todd Warner Moore - Path Overgrown
Review by Gary Hill

The latest disc from Todd Warner Moore, this continues the basic musical journey he's been on throughout the other sets I've reviewed. This album focuses heavily on folk rock sounds.

Review by Gary Hill

Vinnie Moore is probably best known for his work in the band Thin Lizzy. He's also played with Alice Cooper and is in the Lizzy spin-off band Red Zone Rider.


More
Vinnie Moore - Double Exposure
Review by Gary Hill
This album has a good mix of sounds, but since Vinnie Moore is the guitarist, you know it's going to be guitar forward and strong.

More
Moors & McCumber - Pandemonium
Review by Gary Hill
Moors & McCumber is a duo, and they land in the territory of mellow music.

More
Moors & McCumber - Survival
Review by Gary Hill

More
Sarah Morris - Ordinary Things
Review by Gary Hill
The blend of sounds on here is quite cool.

More
Sarah Morris - Hearts in Need of Repair
Review by Gary Hill
This set leans well toward the country music end of the spectrum. The main selling point here is the vocal delivery.

Review by Gary Hill
This EP is quite cool. I really wish there was more music here.

Review by Gary Hill
Be careful what you wish for they say. When I reviewed Bobbie Morrone's three-song EP previously I wished that there had been more music.

More
Ken Will Morton - All’s Fair in Love and War
Review by Gary Hill
There is a lot of great music here. That said, this isn’t an entirely successful disc.

This outfit hails from Minneapolis, and they have produced an alternative rock set that seems to have nearly equal parts grunge and psychedelia at play.


More
Mother Yeti - My Best Please

More
Motörhead - Aftershock
Review by Gary Hill
We’ve all heard the stories of cancelled gigs.

More
Motörhead - 1916
Review by Gary Hill
This might not be an obvious choice, but for me 1916 is one of the better Motorhead albums.

More
Motörhead - March Ör Die
Review by Gary Hill
This is a reissue of the 1992 album.

More
Motörhead - Iron Fist 40th Anniversary Vinyl Box Set
Review by Gary Hill
Apparently I'm in the minority as someone who loved this album from the day I bought it, and that was the day it was released.

More
Motörhead - Another Perfect Day 40th Anniversary triple-vinyl edition
Review by Gary Hill
I didn't realize it at the time, but a lot of people didn't like this album when it came out. Guitarist "Fast" Eddie Clark was out of the band, and his replacement was Brian "Robbo" Robertson. 

More
Mountain - Eruption
Review by Gary Hill
This live collection is a good album that probably could have been a great one. I have read reviews where people have full on trashed this one.
More
Mourning Noise - Mourning Noise
Review by Gary Hill
This CD from Mourning Noise gathers up a number of recordings from the early to mid 1980s. The general concept here is hardcore punk, but there are some twists and angles at play.

Erich Mrak - Fake It (digital single)
Review by Gary Hill
Erich Mrak is working toward an ambitious goal. He's releasing a new single every month.

More
Erich Mrak - Riptide (digital single)
Review by Gary Hill
The latest in a string of singles being released as a seven-month project, ultimately to be assembled into an EP, this has merits. It's also stumbles a bit by getting into the over-produced zone.

More
Erich Mrak - Girls (digital single)
Review by Gary Hill

Here is proof that you can create modern pop songs, with all the usual trappings, and make them work.


More
Erich Mrak - No Ways (digital single)

Review by Gary Hill
Country music, folk, blues and more combine on this disc.

More
The Multi-Coloured Shades - The Lost Tapes (vinyl)
Review by Gary Hill
This new 10-inch vinyl disc is cool. It's on red vinyl and has two songs on each side. That makes it land in the 20-minute range.

More
Scott Mulvahill - Himalayas
Review by Gary Hill
This is an intriguing set. Probably half the songs are just vocals and upright bass. The other half have more instrumentation in the mix.

More
Mumford and Sons - Wilder Mind
Review by Laura Turner
The long awaited Mumford and Sons CD finds that the group dropped their original banjo sound we all know and went all electric.

More
Mungo Jerry - The Albums 1976-81
Review by Gary Hill
I'm sure there are a lot of people who know Mungo Jerry for one tune, "In the Summertime." As this five CD box set shows, there is a lot to this act beyond that song.

More
Chris Murphy - Surface to Air
Review by Gary Hill
There is a lot of roots music in the mix here, country, folk and more.

More
Chris Murphy - Red Mountain Blues
Review by Gary Hill
There is a big roots music revolution underway these days.

Chris Murphy - The Tinker's Dream
Review by Gary Hill
Celtic music and country music are surely kissing cousins. All you have to do is to listen to some down-home old school country to make that clear.

More
Chris Murphy - Hard Bargain
Review by Gary Hill
I like Chris Murphy. I've reviewed a number of his albums in the past. I like this set, too, but not as much.

More
Chris Murphy - Water Under the Bridge
Review by Gary Hill
Chris Murphy puts out consistently solid releases. His musical styles tend to vary quite a bit, from Celtic music to things like this.

More
Chris Murphy - Sovereign
Review by Gary Hill
I've reviewed quite a few releases from Chris Murphy over the years. You can always count on him for quality.

More
Peter Murphy - Wild Birds Live Tour
Review by Gary Hill
Probably Peter Murphy is best known as the singer for Bauhaus.

More
My Politic - Anchor
Review by Gary Hill
There’s a big movement toward roots music right now. It’s not quite what you’d call “the thing,” but it’s certainly trendy.

More

Review by Gary Hill
My Ruin is Tairrie B.'s newest project. Tairrie got her start as a rapper and went on to be in bands Manhole and Tura Satana. She is joined on this project by a host of musicians.

Review by Gary Hill
The main man behind My Silent Bravery is Matthew Wade. With this new single he has produced an energetic cut that belongs on pop radio.

More
My Son the Bum - Follow Me Like Me (feat. Brian Kroll)
Review by Gary Hill
There are quite a few elements of progressive rock that show up on this set.

More
My Woshin Mashin - Evil Must Die
Review by Gary Hill
First, it has to be stated that this outfit should get some bonus points for that band name.

More
A. C. Myles - Reconsider Me
Review by Gary Hill
You could say that this is a solid pop rock album.

More
Meanr Mynr - The Sacrifice
Review by Gary Hill
A lot of times electronic music is strictly keyboard based. This set makes good use of guitar, too.

More
Mystic Pete - BassPop
Review by Gary Hill
There is a lot of electronic music in the mix here.
