Angela Ortiz has an album titled All About You and it serves as a very descriptive lead in to what is inside the CD sleeve. This recording seems to be a biographical and storytelling adventure. I suppose its all in the perception of the listener as it would be with any album. It is hard […]

For Immediate Release: 
October 25, 2006 — Jimi Hendrix died more than 35 years ago, without a will and with a year left on his Yameta agreement. There has been no A-list film on his life and music in spite of the fact that he has been recognized as one of the greatest musician/guitarists of all […]

I just listened to an excellent interview with Liam O’Maonlai & Fiachna O’Broainain from the Irish band Hothouse Flowers and Jon Russell over at KYOU radio.
The Hothouse Flowers have an interesting sound and hearing the diverse selections of songs that Jon played during the interview gave me more of an insight into their musical style. […]

Ventura, CA–October 12, 2006— Most people know Hugh Hefner for his renowned publication Playboy. The famous publisher has more than one love in his life in addition to his spicy magazine. Hef’s other passion, horror films, is celebrated this and every year at Halloween. This year we can all put on our makeup and costumes […]

Los Angeles–CA–October 09, 2006– Still Waters do indeed run deep on Louise Setara’s maiden voyage into the world of recorded music. Louise has been singing since the tender age of three, and fifteen years later-a culmination of an entire lifetime jells into one impressive debut album.
Still Waters was released September 12, 2006 and it features […]

Clearly, ELO was a progressive band, although most people never looked upon them as that because of their long run on the pop charts. They had it all going for them-a unique brand of rock music with parts of an orchestra mixed in and a singer/songwriter/guitar player on level with the best in the world. […]

I have been following this young lady’s career for a few years now and every time I have the opportunity to review one of her new projects, whether its music or film, I enjoy it immensely. The one important factor that is putting this woman in the public eye more every time out is that […]

Eleven years is very long time between albums but some people can get away with it and pick up where they left off, like Bob Seger.
Face The Promise is a fantastic new album from Seger. This is the deluxe set with a DVD. What I learned about Bob in the DVD, besides watching some choice […]

Louise Setara is a very mature looking 18-year-old female. When I discovered this after reading about it on her website, I was stunned. The first picture I saw of her was very different, her hair was down, and actually, she looks like a different person. This picture was on a special three-song sampler I received […]

Matthew Fogg & Nicole Hajj had a history before this album came together. They met and found a mutual admiration and respect for one thing, the art form of jazz.
It is unusual to release a debut album as a live recording, but the duo decided this was the best way to present their music at […]

I like what John Fogerty says to the audience at the beginning of this concert. He states his music is simple straight-ahead rock ‘n’ roll. I always said the same thing about Fogerty and that is the strongest reason why I continue to enjoy his music-solo and CCR tracks.
The Long Road Home-In Concert is […]
