★★★½ 3 and half star review of HEATH GREEN and The MAKESHIFTERS from SPILL MAGAZINE
Straight ahead, blues based, hurting songs, played by a very talented group. But then, that is what happens when you pay your dues. Green has been playing clubs in his native Birmingham, Alabama for over 15 years before landing a record deal and the time he and his band put in shows. The band is […]
Nice review of DATURA4 “Hairy Mountain” from BLANK GOLD COAST
While a strong grasp of classic hooks and memorable melodies remain, this musical coming together is an altogether hairier beast. On Hairy Mountain the band lovingly channel the meatier sonic spectrum of the late 60’s and early 70’s, with cult Aussie bands such as Buffalo and The Coloured Balls springing to mind across the album’s […]

There’s little doubt, these songs are going to sound best in their native environs, a smoking blues rock club full of sweaty revelers eager to be elevated by the gritty and soulful delivery of Green and his Makeshifters, but the recording is so well crafted, the performances so ecstatic that it transcends the limitations often […]
♠ HEATH GREEN and The MAKESHIFTERS featured in WELD for Birmingham
“”I think if you’ve listened or if you’ve watched me play over the years, you won’t see a difference,” he said. “The only difference will maybe be the style or the loudness of it. I think I’ve always been me. It’s hard for me to pretend to be anyone else. This is the way I’ve […]
