"Amber In The Clay" by Davie Gayle (Country Artist from Riverside County, California (CA))

If Emmylou Harris had ever decided to rock out in her career, then the result would have sounded something like Davie Gayle's latest record, "Amber In The Clay." With songs ranging from country to contemporary ballads, Gayle takes us for a trip down Americana lane and does not disappoint. Her pristine country vocals sound wonderful and emulate classic Dolly Parton, but still have an original feel to it. You can hear Gayle's sweet voice on songs like "Get Me" and "You Don't Say." Looking for the Americana feel? Look no further than the title track as it is a perfect listen for anyone who enjoyed Robert Plant/Alison Krauss's disc ("Raising Sand"). There are also some fine pedal steel guitar moments on this record, as heard on "3:09." If you are looking for that timeless female country vocal tone with a little rock 'n' roll under it, then this Davie Gayle's "Amber In The Clay" is for you.

"Each Lifetime Is A Voyage" by Howce Clemens (Rock/Pop Artist from New York City, New York (NY))

Howce Clemens brilliantly fuses the sounds of pop, rock, and R&B on his new EP, titled "Each Lifetime Is A Voyage." Clemens' voice throughout the entire album has a musky Johnny Cash vibe to it. That country vocal tone shines through on numbers like "Please Take Care" and "Little Darlin'." Taking a nod from another rocker band fused with country, the Eagles, Clemens delivers a wonderful piece of music with the title track, "Each Lifetime Is a Voyage." The vocal harmonies in the chorus and complementing instrumentation give this track a happy, lighthearted feel. Howce Clemens' "Each Lifetime Is a Voyage" is a great album for any Johnny Cash or Eagles fan looking for a new and fantastic set of tunes.

"Whitelite Britelite" by Auradrone (Electronica Artist from Los Angeles, California(CA))

Imagine if the members of The Cure decided to replace lead singer Robert Smith with a sexy female vocalist. If you can't, then perhaps listening to "Whitelite Britelite" by Auradrone will help you see the big picture. Hailing from Los Angeles, the band is fronted by the very talented Jon Mack. Her vocals are filled with tasty lyrics and sex appeal to the max. Just give a good listen to songs like "Auto Erotic" and "A Channel," and listeners will be able to hear her vocals at their best. The band is also very good and is great at changing the style of songs while still keeping that "Auradrone" sound throughout it all. "Indigo Child" is both classic 80's and super erotic at the same time, so be sure to give that track a few spins. If you love The Cure or the sound they represent, give Auradrone's "Whitelite Britelite" a good listen.

"A Heaping Helping Of Perspective" by The Conniption Fits (Pop Artist from Vermont(VT))

Boston rockers The Conniption Fits give a solid performance on their long awaited album of new material with "A Heaping Helping Of Perspective." Hailing from New England, they carry with them the rock sound that many Boston-based bands are known for (which is something mixed between The Mighty Mighty Bosstones and Blink-182). Front man Steve Blanchard leads the band through rousing numbers such as "Now I Take My Leave" and "Grit Your Teeth." One of the tracks that stands out the most was "She Just Needs To Go Away," an obvious nod to the late 70's sounds of Cheap Trick. Blanchard has opened for many well-known acts like 3 Doors Down, The Mighty Mighty Bosstones, and Blue Oyster Cult and it shows, as he and the band's maturity and knowledge really help make this album something special. The Conniption Fits' "A Heaping Helping Of Perspective" is a great addition to any fan that enjoys the work of Jimmy Eat World or the Boston music scene.

"Where We Come From" by Ray William Roldan (Country Artist from Los Angeles, California(CA))

If Tom Petty ever went full-on country, then it would most likely sound something like Ray William Roldan's latest effort "Where We Come From." Roldan does a terrific job fusing country with pop-riddled vocal melodies and honky-tonk guitar riffs. There are some typical, yet well played country moments on this disc, particularly on songs like "My Country Rocks" and "Cowboy Cadillac." However, what make this album shine are tunes like "Back to Texas," which strongly resemble some of the later Traveling Wilburys work. Another nod to that sound comes by way of Roldan's vocals which emulate Jeff Lynne and cult country legend J.J. Cale. Ray William Roldan's "Where We Come From" is a very enjoyable disc whether you are a diehard country fan and/or love that Americana/pop style.

"Ty I Ja" by Carol of Harvest (Pop Artist from Germany)

Carol of Harvest soothes the soul with its newest disc of European pop, "Ty I Ja." Composer and original Carol of Harvest band member Axel Schmierer provides the songwriting for this relaxing disc of dreamy acoustic jazz and pop. His technique is well-represented in songs like "Ty I Ja" and "In Between", a song which also features some tasty lead guitar work. The most notable impression left on listeners is the voice of Polish singer Ewa, whose voice is very refined and angelic. Her vocal performances alone are worth the money for this disc. Be sure to check out the song "Nagi" for one of her finer vocal performances. If pop music fused with an international flair is your thing, you are going to love Carol of Harvest's "Ty I Ja."

"Back to Basics 2009 Remix" by Finlay Morton (Rock Artist from The United Kingdom)

Finlay Morton takes a crop of classic rock influences and fuses them together with some country, resulting in a fine album called "Back to Basics 2009 Remix." Morton's songwriting is very similar to that of Tom Petty, with Americana flowing throughout the album and the sound of an organ whirling about. This influence is most evident on songs like "Hang On To Your Dreams" and "My Friend". The best attribute about Morton is his silky rock voice, emulating the more recent vocal tones of Pink Floyd's Roger Waters. Give "Scary Monsters" a good listen and you will hear those vocal tones similar to Waters'. There is also some nice country lap steel work on the song "Back To The Start". If you own Petty's "Wild Flowers" album or anything put out recently by Neil Young, you will love Finlay Morton's "Back to Basics 2009 Remix."

"The Temple of Humanity" by Freestone (Rock Artist from The Netherlands)

Looking for something new and different? Then you should give a listen to the album "The Temple of Humanity" by pop/rock band Freestone. This band emulates the cosmic tones familiarized by Pink Floyd and does a great job at reproducing those sounds. "The Ancient of Days" is a mellow song, featuring talented saxophone playing that makes the instrument sound almost as if it is singing. The title track exhibits a relaxing drum beat and equally soothing vocals. The instrumentation on this disc drips of Pink Floyd, with lush synth melodies and haunting guitar work. Although the material of Freestone's "The Temple of Humanity" is rare compared to what is "standard" today, it is a great listen for any Pink Floyd fan or ancient ritual buff and should definitely be checked out.

"Moontime" by Kelly Moon McGinnis (Rock Artist from Colorado(CO))

Colorado-based songwriter Kelly Moon McGinnis delivers a one-two punch of blues and rock on his latest effort, "Moontime." McGinnis is a well-known staple in the Denver area and has opened for famed acts such as Big Head Todd & the Monsters and Leon Redbone. The most likeable thing about this album is McGinnis's vocals and the way in which he delivers them. In "Your Wishing Well," listeners get to hear his gritty singing voice, very similar to that of Tom Waits or Bob Dylan. McGinnis's songwriting also stays true to the blues roots and features some exciting guitar work as well. Another standout track is "God Is Love," which has a tropical feel to it and is very reminiscent of late 70's George Harrison work. This album is a must-have for any Waits fan or anyone who loves that nitty-gritty blues sound.

"The Ballad Of Billy Saigon" by Wes and Victoria (Folk Artist from Colorado(CO))

"The Ballad Of Billy Saigon" by Wes and Victoria is folk rock/Americana at its best and deserves a good listen from any fan of that genre. Originally hailing from Texas, the duo's work has that southern feel and is a great mix of folk, rock, country and good ol' cowboy music. Wes has a very unique singing voice that is particularly raw, letting you feel every note and word he is singing. The harmonica talent of Victoria is well highlighted on songs like "Trail of Tears," and it sounds great. There is also a very welcoming Rolling Stones-influenced number called "Love Got a Mind of Its Own," a song that could easily be compared to anything the Stones did in their best years. For listeners that enjoy folk rock and Bob Dylan, Wes and Victoria's "The Ballad Of Billy Saigon" is definitely worth listening to.

"Organic" by B. Keyler (Rock Artist from Norway)

B. Keyler's latest album, titled "Organic," is a wonderful blend of moving adult contemporary ballads and avant-garde rock. Keyler's lush voice gets all kind of action with ranges from lounge jazz (like in "The Sweetest Kiss") to hard rock (such as "Seven Stars"). The ballad "When You're Gone" is a very sentimental piece and also features another classic vocal track from Keyler. For something a little different, check out the opening track titled "Freaky Moments," a song which will have you singing along during and after hearing it. The title track rocks the hardest and, like "Freaky Moments," will have you singing along. B. Keyler's "Organic" is a great listen for anyone who enjoys listening to Liz Phair or adult pop/rock that strays just a bit from the norm.

"Mysteriously In Love" by Christopher K. G. Hagadone (Pop Artist from Salt Lake City, Utah(UT))

Christopher K. G. Hagadone dishes out some original electronica music on his newest EP, titled "Mysteriously In Love". The album is comprised of European-sounding dance beats with various rapping/vocals layered on top, making for a very interesting album. Hagadone says on his website that "Mysteriously In Love" is "a CD about a mysterious girl. Who in fantasy is like no other girl." Each song is like a chapter in a book, each telling the story of Hagadone's dream girl through lyrics and intense background music. Two of the four "chapters" that stand out are "Hey You Standing There," describing Hagadone's attempt to flirt with the dream girl, and "I Can't Find Her," a song in which the storyteller awakes from his dream and realizes his fictional girl is gone. This EP is perfect for any electronica fan or someone looking for an album with an underlying story.

Accomplished solo female artist Carla Seidl has released her debut album "Under My Skin," exhibiting the musical style of folk with a touch of jazz. Seidl has a talent for writing heartfelt lyrics with emotional flair. Her vocals are sleek, and they shine through each single. On the title track "Under My Skin," her first original song, the lyrics reflects on one's inner being and bonding with others.

This album is performed with vocals and acoustic guitar, which give a soft and soothing quality to the entire collection.

"Yes We Can - Obama's Dance Anthem" by DJ Coz (Pop/Electronica Artist from District of Columbia)

DJ Coz has skillfully arranged a patriotic single, "Yes We Can – Obama's Dance Anthem," with grooving dance beats. Coz sends a motivational message of inspiration using selected lines from President Barack Obama's recent historic speeches. There is a great loop effect on the chorus of the song with subtle, yet bouncy synth strings on the verses. Various clips of Obama's speeches are eloquently synced to the rhythmic beats of the drums. "Yes We Can" and "Change is Coming" are just a few of the unforgettable quotes Obama made during his campaign and they will live on forever both in history and in this song. As a skilled artist of the house music genre, Coz has spiked up the mood with this dance single and is a great listen for any house fan or any voter who was won over by Obama's memorable speeches.

There is also a nice melodic guitar riff on "Wasting the Day Away", with its catchy rhythmic run. Koval has a special talent for making his lyrics fun, as is heard on the song "Alien To Me."

"Never Give Up" by Cuba Gooding (Urban/Soul Artist from New York City, New York (NY))

Former lead singer of the Main Ingredient, Cuba Gooding, unveiled his stunning single "Never Give Up" at the 2009 presidential inauguration. This spectacular single is not only inspirational but should be considered poetry in musical motion. The lyrics are uplifting and soar straight to the heart. Gooding's vocals are exceptional as they are strong and project emotional expression with an excellent range. There is also some solid support from the orchestra as the violins sustain a sweet touch while the piano maintains nice chord progressions. "Never Give Up" is a magnificent anthem of encouragement and confidence with memorable lyrics of faith and hope.

"The Warm Up" by Nypoleon (R&B/Urban Artist from New Jersey (NJ))

Rising star Nypoleon and his CD "The Warm Up" is an amazing debut filled with soulful R&B and is guaranteed to make a big impact on the music scene. His influences stem from Boyz II Men to Michael Jackson, helping create his unique songwriting which blends old school R&B with Hip- Hop and Reggae. "One Last Time" highlights Nypoleon's smooth vocal performance and his ability to fuse his influential genres, creating a tone that is somewhere between Ne-Yo and Bob Marley. On "Always Be Around," his R&B side shines brightly and once again gives us another standout vocal track. His songwriting is well worth mentioning as it separates him from his contemporaries who just deliver the same old beats over and over again. If you love Usher, Babyface or Kanye West, then "The Warm Up" will be spinning in your CD player for quite sometime.

"Fire...Brimstone & Love" by Connie Strange (Spiritual/Country Artist from Indiana (IN))

Vocalist Connie Strange whips up a fantastic album, filled with gospel, blues, country, and even the slightest touch of jazz in her newest effort, "Fire…Brimstone & Love." The lead off track states what the entire CD has to offer with "He Said," an eclectic mix of blues and gospel spreading the word of God. Strange wasn't being clever when she named the disc "Fire…Brimstone & Love" for no reason. Although most of the songs are upbeat with a faith based message, tracks like "Are You Ready" talk about death and when the time comes, He will take you away… that is, if you are ready. A hidden gem on this album is Strange's cover of Louie Armstrong's "What a Wonderful World." We have all heard this done by so many, but Strange throw hers country/gospel flare into the mix and creates a great atmosphere with a song that could have easily fallen flat amongst a million other versions floating around in record stores. Gospel and country music fanatics will really enjoy "Fire…Brimstone & Love" and it may just get you to church on Sunday!

"Becoming" by Gnos-tel-jah (Rap Artist from California (CA))

Hip-Hop takes a strange trip with Gnos-Tel-Jah and their latest album of original (and we mean original) material on "Becoming." Comprised of 2 male vocalists and 1 female vocalist, Gnos-Tel-Jah offers up a psychedelic ride of Hip-Hop fused with rock and spoken word. "Midnight Swang" represents the rap side to their debut disc with easy flowing rhymes and is reminiscent of the group Outkast. When you break it all down, Rap/Hip-Hop is basically spoken words with beats underlying the phrases. The band shows their love for this genre with 13 "chapters" which are 13 separate spoken tracks. Any fan of Outkast, Gnarls Barkley, or of spoken word will thoroughly enjoy "Becoming" as it is a new and innovating CD.

"Bolo!" by Swaha (Spiritual Artist from Ontario, Canada)

Did you ever just want to pop in a relaxing CD at the end of a long day? If so, Swaha's newest CD "Bolo!" is a great choice to soothe your soul. Taking hints of Indian mantras and spiritual music, Swaha does a magnificent job with their newest disc. Vocalists Dave Stringer and Tara MacLean serve up some excellent performances on this CD. The balance of Dave's vocal tone with Tara's angelic pitch is easy on any listener's ears. As for the music, the raga flare sets the mood for some beautiful sounds on songs like "Shiva Manas Puja" and "Jaya Ram Shri Ram." Another great feature of "Bolo!" is the pop sound that is delivered on many of the songs including "Govinda Gopala." Swaha has taken the mantra/Indian genres to a whole different level, fusing India's musical roots with traditional pop instrumentation. "Bolo!" is a perfect listen for anyone who enjoys Indian music fused with spiritual and uplifting textures.

"Destiny" by Al Sofia (Pop Artist from Illinois(IL))

Talented vocalist Al Sofia shares his love for pop/easy listening music with his latest disc, "Destiny." With hints of Bobby Darin and Michael Buble, Sofia delivers an exceptional disc of both originals and cover songs. The title track "Destiny" shows his knack for creative songwriting and has that Philadelphia soul vibe to it. Although the album does feature some great original work, it is Sofia's covers that really shine through. Taking someone else's music and making it your own is never easy, but Sofia does it with ease on songs such as "You Raise Me Up" (popularized by Josh Groban). There are also some jazzy takes on well known Broadway numbers like "Seasons of Love" from the musical Rent and "It's Possible" from Suessical. "Destiny" is a great album for any fan of Hall & Oates or Michael Buble and is well worth listening to.

"I Will Do It" by Patrick Rydman (Jazz Artist from Sweden)

Singer/songwriter Patrick Rydman takes listeners on a journey through the years of classic jazz and delves into the Great American Songbook genre as well. Although he does stick with traditional jazz form, Rydman separates himself from being pinned as just a jazz artist by layering pop voicing over his music on the new album "I Will Do It." One fine example of this is the song "Flying Angel," which could easily be heard on any adult contemporary station today. Sticking to the standards of jazz, Rydman gives us "Walking in Our Sleep" with soft drum beats and complimentary organ progressions. Besides great songwriting, Rydman also has a very smooth and silky voice that echoes the sounds of James Taylor or even Greg Lake of Emerson, Lake and Palmer. If you are looking for a smooth jazz CD that is going to offer more than just another version of "Take the "A" Train," then Rydman's "I Will Do It" is the way to go.

"Euphony" by Randolph (Jazz Artist from Los Angeles, California(CA))

The widely eclectic album "Euphony" by Randolph offers a vast variety of both songs and acoustic instrumentation. Most full band albums consist of the usual key instruments (drums, bass, guitar, and vocals) but Randolph has opened the door wide open on his newest collection of jazz/blues/world pop with use of djembe, cajon, congas, bongos, tablas, timpani, drum kit, violin, trombone, sax/flute, alto flue, bassoon, oboe, and numerous ethnic instruments. The result is magnificent and is well displayed on songs like "That Piece of Me" and "Analog Man." The album is also filled with numerous lead vocal appearances, all of which are tastefully done and fit well within the song choice. There is also a great throwback to the singers of the '60's on songs such as "Let's Get Connected." If you are into pop/jazz or anything Elvis Costello has put out in recent years, you will enjoy "Euphony."

"Excellent Distraction" by Miles Stiebel (Jazz Artist from Washington D.C.(DC))

Notable band leader, Miles Stiebel, proves he is one of the most sought after musicians in his field with "Excellent Distraction." This album is a vibrant mix of emotionally charged jazz instrumentals, covers, and some of Stiebel's originals. Not only is he a well known band leader himself, but the disc was produced by Grammy nominated Bob Dawson and mastered by Grammy winner Ted Jensen (who has also worked with Norah Jones). Stiebel shows us what he does best on "Sir Duke," the first single off the record that strays from the typical jazz progressions and offers up a little bit of funk. Although the violin is not common in most jazz records, Stiebel uses it generously on many tracks such as "Midnight Fifty." The addition of the violin provides a rousing country feel to what could have been just a typical jazz number. Although Stiebel already has many fans, "Excellent Distraction" will be bringing in many more.

"Hide and Speak" by Nessi (Country Artist from Germany)

Award winning singer Nessi flaunts her angelic voice on her newest album which is embedded with acoustic folk/jazz material on "Hide and Speak." Her partner in crime, Canadian guitar player William Mackenzie, also does his part with some solid acoustic playing. Nessi showcases her polished vocal range on songs "Like Steel" and "Empty" while also depicting her stories through her lyrics quite well. Mackenzie's guitar playing shines through on "Midnight" with his James Taylor-esqe finger style picking. In addition to these two fine musicians are notable guests Harry Manx and Kevin Breit who has played with Norah Jones. "Hide and Speak" is a must have for any fan of Carla Bruni or Norah Jones.

"Rockin Blues" by Ramblin Dogs (Blues Artist from New Jersey(NJ))

The Ramblin Dogs energetic three song EP "Rockin Blues," is full of classic 70's/80's blues tone we all love and remember. The first single, "Steppin Up" is a wonderful throw back to the sound of the Fabulous Thunderbirds with some dirty guitar work by Carlos "C-Dawg" DC. "You Let Me Down" also showcases "C-Dawg's" Clapton infused playing and lets us hear the band jam out some soulful, slow tempo blues. Closing out the three single EP is "Worse Without You," a Chicago style blues number with solid chord progressions and guitar driven riffs and solo. The band as a whole is extremely talented, but Carlos' guitar skills stand out amongst anything else on this disc and deserve to be noticed. If you like Clapton or that old school Chicago blues sound, then "Rockin Blues" is a great CD to add to your collection.

"SpiritSpa" by Joshua Mills (Spiritual Artist from California(CA))

The piano is undoubtedly one of the most soothing instruments to calm one's nerves and musician Joshua Mills knows exactly how to do the job. His latest album of elegant piano compositions, "SpiritSpa," is not only delicate and dreamy but also a collection of wonderful piano ballads. The title says it all as this music does in fact belong in every spa across the country. His opening track, "Peaceful Soak," wraps you in beautifully written melodies very reminiscent of Billy Joel's latest work. "Ascending & Descending" is a bit darker than the rest of the album, but gives us something to listen to on one of those off days when we are all a little frustrated and need that one song that describes our day. Mills was also creative in the song names he chose as they very much reflect the ambiance of this album: "Glorious Horizon," "Fly," "Fragrant Oil," and "Heaven's Delight." Whether you just want to relax or hear some magnificent piano playing that soothes your body and soul, then "SpiritSpa" is for you.

"Ugly Beautiful" by Lachi (Pop Artist from New York City, New York(NY))

Pianist and songwriter Lachi, ornately blends the sounds of contemporary jazz with early '90's pop/rock with a wonderful result. Don't let the word jazz fool you, "Ugly Beautiful" is more of a pop record than anything else. The small hints of Diana Krall are very nice and fit well within Lachi's songwriting structure. One of those jazzy standouts is "Broke My Heart" which also highlights Lachi's talent for piano playing. The pop influences, a la Alanis Morrisette, come into play on the opening track "We Can Fly." The expression Lachi delivers when singing or speaking her lyrics and the tone of the guitars captures what was once a great time for music, the early '90's. If you are looking for something reminiscent of that period in music or just want to hear some good, female fronted piano rock, then "Ugly Beautiful" is a CD well worth hearing.

"Imposi-bull" by Infinite Tone (Rock Artist from Quebec, Canada)

With their debut release of "Impossi-bull," rock band Infinite Tone has compiled a collection of powerhouse rock songs. Reminiscent of '80's head-banger music, Infinite Tone centers their sound around big guitars and melodic vocals. The lyrics are well-written and are sung with confident and crisp vocals. The keyboards also play an immense part in this group's sound. Take note of the Hammond B-3 organ sound on the solo of "Burn!" or the chord stabs on the title track "Impossi-bull." Listeners will be able to notice the diversity in the tempos in "Picture of You" and "In My Eyes," which are slow rock ballads driven by power chords on guitar. If you're a fan of Guns N' Roses or AC/DC you will thoroughly enjoy listening to the edgy hard rock tunes on the Infinite Tones' album "Impossi-bull."
