Americana UK reviews new Old Heavy Hands album Small Fires calling it “perfectly produced”
“Heard you were leaving town with some other boy / Looking back on everything that I’ve destroyed / Full of misery and heartache,” reflects Nathan James Hall on ‘Runaround’, the opener to North Carolina’s Old Heavy Hands latest release ‘Small Fires’. “I was just a boy and you’re an innocent flower / Did everything I can do in my power / To keep you safe / But that ain’t what you want,” he further adds, both the insightful nature of the lyrics and the roughness of the vocals against some loud but ever melodic guitars letting you know exactly the kind of jagged, perfectly produced southern rock you can expect to enjoy from the album.

Nashville.com reviews upcoming Stephie James album As Night Fades (out Mar. 1)
Nashville via Detroit songwriter Stephie James’ debut full-length album, As Night Fades (out Mar. 1) exudes sparkly, starlit evening motifs, shot through the lens of dreamy doo-wop and romantic Americana rock n roll. James overturns Nashville’s hat and boot culture with her own Iggy Pop-meets-Judy Garland panache. She borrows the storytelling tradition of writers like Townes Van Zandt & Guy Clark but fuses it with 60’s girl group sounds, echoing The Shirelles and The Marvelettes’ “Please Mr. Postman.” James presents us with a record that’s subtly subversive—at one turn familiar and nostalgic, while simultaneously evoking the dawn of something new.
