Uncut Magazine’s year-end issue is now out in the world, featuring a trio of Paradise of Bachelors artists that they have graciously included on their list of the 75 best albums of 2017. Many thanks to Uncut for the kind words.

Jake Xerxes Fussell’s What in The Natural World came in at #44 on the list, and was called “A roistering investigation of the traditions of the south-eastern United States”, with shoutouts to “easygoing virtuosos” Nathan Salsburg and Nathan Bowles.

Michael Chapman’s 50 placed at #29 on the list. “British folk’s fully qualified survivor celebrated an ornery half-century in the game with one of his best albums in decades: a full band electric set, cooked up with a bunch of young Americans led by Steve Gunn.”

And last but not least, Uncut named The Weather Station’s self-titled release as one of the best albums of the year, at #4.

“Tamara Lindeman deftly moved her career into a new phase this year. She artfully transcended her folk background, rocking out a little without ever losing intimacy and focus, or detracting from the precision or valence of the exceptional poetry with which she stocked her songs.”

The Weather Station was also the subject of an extensive multi-page feature in this issue of Uncut – filing what they call the “essential Weather report”.

“Lindeman’s latest is a bolder demonstration of her talent and of the turbulence that’s always threatening to overwhelm the more placid kind of beauty in her songs.” – Jason Anderson
