The Big Bottle of Joy is about celebration – hard-won, overflowing, exuberant celebration. Matt Andersen’s latest long-player lives up to the grand title. Andersen finds reason to sustain this celebration of the life we share together everywhere. Here, he’s on the road, missing a lover; then, between the sheets in a southern Ontario motel room. The album is infused with raw blues-rock, rollicking Americana, thoughtful folk, and ecstatic gospel. Moreover, he testifies to something we could all do well to remember. He reminds us that the time we have together is special, so let’s spend it the right way.

After 25 years in music, building an unimpeachable reputation as a truly independent artist and entrepreneur, Julian Taylor now owns his legacy. It’s rare in this era to see an artist build slowly and reach a new level of widespread acclaim decades into their career. But Julian’s ethos, work ethic, and artistry has always had a timeless quality to it.
