"In My Soul" by Antonia (Classical Artist from Austria)

"In My Soul" is the latest release from the gifted pianist, Antonia. This album is a beautifully sounding collection of Antonia's personal classical compositions. It features just her on the piano, and truly is a recording of the highest quality. In "Once in a Wintertime" she plays hypnotically as her left hand plays the lower register with somber tonality while the right hand caresses the keys with a melody that is smooth and emotive creating a melodic and interesting composition. On the song, "After All Spring" she gives us a pleasantly prancing and hopeful piano piece. Another song, "Joy" Antonia employs the entire piano well, and usually at once, in a complex and moving song. Whether you are a fan of Chopin or Mozart's piano compositions, or maybe an audiophile who enjoys the stunning and beautiful capabilities of a skilled pianist, then "In My Soul" by Antonia is an album for you.

"It's Not Too late" by Brooke Branning (Soft Rock Artist from California(CA))

"It's Not Too Late" by Brooke Branning is a powerful mix of Pop, Rock, and Country that has some real soul. Branning's strong, sensual voice is what gives this album its x-factor. The professional quality of the recordings let the songs show their true potential. The album shifts away from its Country base with tracks like "Love Is The Price" with a bouncy rhythm and melodic lyrics. One track that shines as a favorite is "Given Freely," a Country song with a sweet, catchy chorus accented by its angelic background vocals. If you're a fan of Melissa Etheridge or Sheryl Crow then check out this gifted and talented artist and her latest CD, "It's Not Too Late" as it is soft Rock and Country at its best.

"Salt of the Earth" by Mobetta Loretta (Folk Artist from Los Angeles, California(CA))

"Salt of the Earth," Mobetta Loretta's latest CD, would be best described as a modern folk album with a dash of southern rock. Yet it is much more than that because it is such an ambitious and creative work; it was recorded as a concept album with all the songs being inspired by the 1954 album also titled "Salt Of The Earth." In "Copper Pit Miner," Mobetta sings to us about being a copper miner in an upbeat, danceable folk-blues song that features great harmonica. "I Am the Salt of the Earth" is a song in which Mobetta opts to croon to us over a pleasant combination of acoustic guitar and string section. For "Local 809" she sings about antiquated union life over a more modern and toe-tapping blues beat. The songs on this album stand up on their own, as they are great contemporary expressions of a past generation; yet when one factors in that each song is part of an overall theme it really adds substance. So check out Mobetta Loretta's CD, "Salt of the Earth," if you want to hear great folksy blues stories of a day gone by.

"Mad Forms & Twisted Poses" by R. Scott (Rock Artist from Los Angeles, California(CA))

"Mad Forms & Twisted Poses," by R. Scott, is a sensationally-made Rock/Americana CD. The beginning of the album has more upbeat, honky-tonk rhythms while, toward the end, the vocalist's New Orleans Blues influences are showcased. With many of the tracks performed using only a solo piano to back the vocalist's broad range, the effect is pure and natural, giving the CD a real sense of intimacy between the lyrics, the music, and the listener. The encouraging, "(Ev'rythin'll) Work Out Fine," employs serious piano talent while the vocals are gritty and piercing with the steady tempo of a hit and snare. The aptly named, "Somber Season," tells the story of expectation, loss, and hope in a pleasant and refreshing change to the toe-tappers that precede it; and, although it's slow, it showcases those rich, attention-getting vocals. All in all, this CD is recommended to all Blues/Bluegrass fans, and even those of singers like Randy Newman. It's full, unique, and thoroughly enjoyable.

"Sleep When I Die" by L'NEE (R&B Artist from California(CA))

L'NEE's latest release is called, "Sleep When I Die," an appropriate title since one senses this girl would definitely choose the dance floor over her bed. L'NEE'S CD is a blend of urban R&B, Hip-Hop, and Reggaeton, all produced for loud playback to keep your hips shaking and feet moving. In "Dj Make Em Move," L'NEE sings her story in a clear and poppy style over a gritty and aggressive Reggaeton beat. For "Sleep When I Die," the album's title track, we get to hear her rhyming skills as she raps about her career over a stomping hip-hop instrumental. On "Chilly," L'NEE shows off her vocal talents, singing over a more reserved urban R&B rhythm (but one that is still very danceable). At times this CD reminds one of old TLC, as L'NEE likes to employ some 90's style sounds which she combines with her modern edge. For people who enjoy dance parties, or maybe just making their car feel like a club, L'NEE's "Sleep When I Die" CD just might be something you would enjoy.

"Number Theory" by Richard Potter (Classic Rock Artist from North Carolina(NC))

Demonstrating a real mastery of his '50's and '60's influences, Richard Potter's latest CD, "Number Theory," is a thoroughly satisfying pop-rock hybrid album that succeeds on all levels. From echoes of '60's-era Neil Diamond (CD-opener, "Tell the Angels I Love You") to American Grafitti-era rock'n'roll ("Love is Blind") to the wonderfully Pulp Fiction-esque feel of the title track (featuring a terrific Herb Albert-inspired trumpet lead), Potter's solid sense of melody and pop dramatics gives his new 10-song collection a real cinematic flair. Elsewhere, "So Long" is a tuneful ballad blending Music Hall-style banjo strumming with the melancholy strains of cello, while "AM Radio (Everything I Need To Know)" is a driving rocker that's as convincing as the singer-songwriter's lighter, more pop-oriented songs. With an abundance of captivating melodies, interesting arrangements and solid performances, "Number Theory" is a terrific CD that showcases Richard Potter's original and contemporary musical vision to best effect.

"Illusions" by Terry Lynn Tschaekofske (Instrumental Artist from Utah(UT))

Terry Lynn Tschaekofske and his debut solo album, "Illusions," is a collection of songs in which he lets his expert guitar playing be placed center stage. The album is recorded using a variety of guitars; numerous types of sublime electric and acoustic sounds are featured on different tracks, yet on each track Terry is not accompanied by other instruments at all. He wants the listener to calmly take in the subtle and nuanced sounds of his prized instrument. On the song, "Who Was She," we hear an electric guitar slowly croon a love song. The song "Santa Cruz Lady," features an acoustic guitar employing a more upbeat sound with a slight blues influence. On the track, "Inamorata Mirage," we hear Terry's smooth double picking as he plays what comes off as a pleasing antiquated melody. This album is wonderful for relaxing and reflective moments; when one is curled up by the fire or to have playing nicely in the background for a family BBQ. If you enjoy tranquil yet talented music or simply are a fan of instrumental guitar compositions than "Illusions" is an album that you would enjoy hearing.

"l-10 Assassins" by SOUTHWEST CONNECTION (Hip-Hop Artist from California(CA))

In the popular world of auto-tune and muddying music with keyboard loops and samples, the album, "l-10 Assassins" by the talented Hip-Hop/Rap group SOUTHWEST CONNECTION is a breath of fresh air. SOUTHWEST CONNECTION made a terrific album that you can play front to back at a party and you won't have to worry that your friends won't like the music. The instrumentation on this album ties together the sharp and flowing rhymes this group delivers with smooth and suave expression. "Fast Life" has synth strings and drum beats that groove to the well crafted word play. Tracks like "Reppin' My Block" and "The Jungle's Where I Stay" are best played with the volume on 11 and you may want to crank up the sub-woofer. If you're looking for some honest Hip-Hop/Rap with some modern feel and some old school flavor, you've found it on the CD "l-10 Assassins."

"Movements in the Moment" by Rhonda Lorence (Classical Artist from North Carolina(NC))

"Movements in the Moment" is the latest release from the gifted viola player Rhonda Lorence. This album was recorded employing the use of numerous vocal and instrumentation combinations that definitely qualify the sound as "Neo-Classical." However, in this album Rhonda skillfully uses the viola as the central pivot point for beautiful musical storytelling and mental picture painting. On the song, "Trail of Tears" we hear the viola placed front and center as it gradually sings a sad song which your ears will follow as if it was a tuneful tale. Then on other tracks such as "Doria" the viola takes a background seat to fluttering and airy female vocals simply singing the name Doria. Another outstanding track, "Shift it" Rhonda gives us a weave of viola picking and vocals over a snazzy yet subtle drum line. "Movements in the Moment" is an eclectic mix of classical basics meshed with modern experimentalism, with a seemingly constant emphasis on expressing emotions and stories through the music. If you are a fan of expressive Neo-Classical music or simply the viola itself then "Movements in the Moment" should be on your list of music to hear.

"These Waters" by Jan Peters & The Monday Night Project (Folk Artist from Washington(WA))

From the very first song, "These Waters" the recently released album by Jan Peters & The Monday Night Project, promises a collection of light, poppy, and Progressive Folk/Bluegrass style album. Peter's vocals are well complimented by some sweet and charming female vocals throughout the album while the lyrics are vibrant and uplifting. Among other tracks, "Shaking Away" has some great use of harmonica during the solo. They break out of any single genre by changing the pace with tracks like "Drumming in the Night" that offers a Blues/Soul like quality and "Primera Visita" with a catchy "cut time" bouncy feel. "These Waters" is a catchy and well-made album and is definitely an album worth hearing.

"American Spirit" by Kris Hollis Key (Country Artist from New Mexico(NM))

Kris Hollis Key picked the perfect name for his latest album, "American Spirit." The first thing that comes to mind when you start spinning this album is sitting on a porch in the heartland of America. Hollis sings with a solid Country twang while his songs are splashed with rootsy Country and early Blues music. His vocals complement the laid back lyrics which bring out interesting melodies with down home Southern qualities. Tracks like "Honey I Still Miss You" feature some nice embellishments of fiddle, harmonica, and slide guitar. Other tracks are driven by clean rhythm guitar and a quick drum beat as you will hear on the song, "Gonna Catch a Wild One." Overall, "American Spirit" has all the elements of a great Alternative Country album.

"Better Late than Never" by Ron Kemp (Rock/Acoustic Artist from Maryland(MD))

"Better Late than Never" is the newest release from the talented Folk/Rock musician Ron Kemp. The songs on this album for the most part just contain Kemp's warm and inviting voice and his sweet acoustic guitar which gives the production a nice clean and crisp clarity. On this album you can hear undertones of Folk, Bluegrass and Country in Kemp's acoustic styling. "Keepsake" is a slower moving love song in which we can hear Kemp's wonderfully talented guitar picking and strumming skills. On the song, "First-Sight Love," Kemp lets his voice get a little Country as he tells us another love story. "Crocabye Way" is a more fun and uplifting song in which Kemp lets his strumming get a little poppy. While the songs employ different sounds, the album throughout is relatively relaxed and calm. All in all, this entire album works if you are a fan of either love songs sung well or of acoustic Folk/Rock in the way of something like a James Taylor approach.

"The Dream of 'I'" by Doug Wyatt (Instrumental Rock/Ambient Artist from San Francisco, California(CA))

Doug Wyatt's release, "The Dream of 'I'" is an amalgam of songs that take on different genres all seen through the eyes of an experienced electronic artist. The album is well recorded and produced, as it needs to be due to the large amounts of ambient and psychedelic sounds that Wyatt uses within his tunes. He has mastered the art of computer-aided music, and this is plainly heard throughout this entire album. On the track, "Thrill of the Chase" we get a toe-tapping beat underneath a spacey yet uplifting piano piece. Then on "Talking Points" one is presented with grittier, more industrial sounds over a thick, driving electric beat. These songs are then juxtaposed with others like "Artifacts and Fantasies" which contain numerous intricate psychedelic sounds, and are devoid of a traditional beat structure altogether. If your ears would appreciate a plethora of electronic instruments and sounds masterly interwoven, or you consider yourself an audiophile and just appreciate diverse sounds, then "The Dream of 'I'" is something you'll want to take in.

"Venice Sci-fi" by Ari Dane (Easy Listening Artist from Los Angeles, California(CA))

Like nothing you've ever heard before, Ari Dane will surprise you with his latest album, "Venice Sci-fi." Dane sings with a classic baritone voice that is well balanced and is heard over clean and crisp sounds that are created and layered one track at a time. He touches on island beats, lounge, 80's rap, and big band styles, while keeping his sci-fi tonality undertone. His old style vocals are highlighted on "The Bartender's Point of View" while offering some lyrics that are quite entertaining. The title track "Venice Sci-fi" is aptly named since it sounds like 1950's style green aliens have landed in Italy and started writing music. The album is also splattered with instrumental tracks to give his voice a break. If you're interested in hearing something completely unique, and love the low crooning of a lounge singer, Ari Dane and his album, "Venice Sci-fi" is just for you.

"Chasing Sunsets" by Ryan Cowley (Pop Artist from New Zealand)

Releasing his album "Chasing Sunsets," Ryan Cowley offers listeners a collection of charming and calming Acoustic Pop music. Cowley's lyrics emit an urge to be free and live easy, giving the listener a soothing and relaxing feel. You can feel this vibe as you listen to the track "Orbit" as it is also complemented by sweet, haunting female vocals. "How Do You Mend a Broken Heart?" has the poppy feel of a John Mayer or Dave Matthews Band single. Cowley appears to take the position that too many instruments can dilute the message of a song, and sticks with the classic 4-piece guitar, bass, piano, and drum combo. The outcome of this classic small group is a beautiful blend of delightful, lighthearted pop melodies. "Chasing Sunsets" is an overall good listen and will fit snugly next to the Jason Mraz and Jack Johnson albums in your collection.

"Beatlesque Too" by Alan Bernhoft (60"s Rock Artist from Los Angeles, California(CA))

Alan Bernhoft more than accomplished his intended goal with his recent album, "Beatlesque Too." The British Invasion sound from the early sixties made popular by The Beatles is alive and well on this album. Bernhoft captures the twangy guitars, the easy flowing harmonies, and simple drum beats with ease. The bouncy song, "All of the Time" features a solid harmonica solo while vocals and harmonies are exceptional. The last track "Come On Baby" is an obvious call to "Twist and Shout," the popular Beatles cover. The average track is not long in length but these songs don't lose the nostalgic throwback of this era. This album doesn't take liberties, risks, or get too adventurous as it simply produces quality song after quality song that could have come straight out of 1964. Fans of The Beatles don't miss an opportunity to hear the excellent songs of "Beatlesque Too."

"King in a Temple" by Amie Penwell (Rock Artist from California(CA))

"King in a Temple" is the latest release from the skilled pianist and vocalist, Amie Penwell. Amie's voice is beautiful and well trained, with a soulful, reflective sound that communicates deep emotions on this CD. The simple and crystal clear production of this CD, very nicely captures the power of Amie's voice. She is backed by a plethora of different instruments and musicians on this album, which allows Amie to demonstrate her vocal versatility. On "Momentary Cure" we really hear Amie's ability to create a positive interaction between her voice and piano playing. It is a powerful slower piano ballad that also has a driving sub current. On "So Many Ways" we are introduced to Amie's more bluegrass side as she opts to interact with a fiddle instead of her piano and the result is a quite enjoyable tune. Give "King in aTemple" a listen, if you are a fan of strong, smooth and melodic vocals over mellow yet emotional music.
