Joseph Childress – Chariots [Exclusive]
After championing ‘Animal’ as one of my favourite tracks of last year, I’ve finally got a copy of Joseph Childress’ debut album, The Rebirths, and have barely stopped playing it all week.

Joseph Childress – Animal
This gem of a song was recorded in a closet somewhere out on the road over the last few years. What else do we know about Joseph Childress? Next to nothing. There isn’t even an album out to promote by posting this; it’s just too beautiful not to… Continue Reading »
