Americana UK debuts the new single from Moon Shine, “I Tried to Keep on Loving You,” noting its “shimmery take on the country end of Americana, bringing to mind Emmylou Harris or say, for a modern comparison, Courtney Marie Andrews.”

Moon Shine (aka Angie Glasscock) is a Brooklyn based singer-songwriter whose debut album ‘The Land in Between‘ will be hitting the streets on November 11th.  The name Moon Shine was chosen because, Angie explains, “The Moon is a female symbol, the name ‘Moon Shine’ refers to women shining.”  And it’s certainly true that this is a shimmery take on the country end of Americana, bringing to mind the approach of Emmylou Harris or say, for a more modern comparison, Courtney Marie Andrews.

Americana UK reviews the new album from Matthew Check, Without a Throne, noting, “There’s a definite feel of Jackson Brown and Warren Zevon… lively and energetic … classy pedal steel playing.”

Now sober, the second song – ‘Old Wooden Floor’ – looks at the harsh reality of drinking, but again this is an upbeat song with some classy pedal steel playing. Check’s bluegrass background surfaces on ‘Pretty Mama’ and he stays close to home on ‘The Way That You Are’, which was written by his brother Jonathan and is a lovely tale of unrequited love – again enhanced by some superb ivory tinkling. Jonathan’s a talented sibling as another of his songs is included – ‘The Shape It Appears’ – a country waltz about being able to see an era clearly only after it’s over – amazingly its author was only a teenager when he penned it.
