Review: Our favourite compilers Numero Group have been at it again. This time they have put together Barnyard Beehive, which in their words "lassos 16 Opry hopefuls from across the Numeroverse." These are ones that dig deep into evergreen subjects and themes such as heartbreak, trouble and booze. They are raw, expressive folk and Americana sounds that will have you forgetting you are in the drab UK winter and not on some prairie somewhere, chewing on if not smoking some grass.

Review: Numero Group double up as lassoing ranchers on this cattle-prodding long player of Nashville Americana. Raiding the airwaves of grand 'ole opry - the term "opry" began as a reference to a regular live country music radio broadcast originating on Tennessee's own WSM Radio station, then eventuating more broadly to mean any establishment serving folk and country music in Tennessee - the head honchi at Numero do a fine job of introducing us to the lesser-known, achy yet heart-mending (if you'll hear it out) tones of Connie Caddell, Joyce Street, Mona Lunsford and Country Girl Kay, all pan-American starlets from the 60s and 70s.
