REVIEW : Puddleglum - Where the Wondering Got Us

This album came out last October, but I was only recently made aware of it when guitarist/vocalist Craig Phillips reached out for coverage, just before moving to Eurasia to work overseas.

Each song has it’s own tale to tell, making “Delusions of Grandeur” a story that any music fan should not miss.

God Gave Rock and Roll to You: Part 1 - Restless Youth

RESTLESS YOUTH In the year 1998 a small, quiet town in rural North Dakota was the place that I called home.
