MusicAlbum Review: Gasoline Lollipops – All The Misery Money Can BuyOne of Colorado’s most popular bands, The Gasoline Lollipops, will be delivering what can arguably be considered their masterpiece on September 11, 2020. “All the Misery Money Can Buy” has been described by the band as a politically charged union of soul music and Southern rock, blending singer Clay Rose’s gritty singing style with what appears to be a full-on gospel choir.

MusicAlbum Review: Estin & The 86’D – Long Live The RiverLong Live the River by Estin & The 86’D kicks off with an ode to classic southern rock filled with pure, unadulterated attitude.

Full of emotion, great songwriting and musicianship, “Long Live the River” (out August 14) is like a stiff drink at the end of a long day.Nate Wilde · Aug 7, 2020
