    Steve Cole - True album review »

    True is Steve Cole's fifth album. I like the title because the feel of the entire recording is that Cole is being True to his own musical self-portrait throughout the run of this CD.
    There are nine tracks in total and I loved every one. This music reminded me of when I first got into David [...]

    Lance Reegan-Diehl Chasing My Reflection review »

    Lance Reegan-Diehl gave me what I have been asking for, an entire album of instrumental tracks. Chasing My Reflection is a compilation of tracks dating back to 1992 all the way through 2006.

    Patrick Yandall releases New York Blues »

    I had a feeling this was going to happen. Patrick Yandall has decided to play the blues after releasing a series of outstanding jazz releases. New York Blues is a welcome change for the guitarist and as I would expect, a fine recording straight on through.

    Donna Sammarco Flys On Eagles Wings »

    Although On Eagles Wings was released in 2004 the music remains bright and relevant at any time, simply because what the intent and meaning was behind producing it the first place. This kind of Christian new age instrumental sound is for ears that want some relief of daily demands.
    Donna Sammarco goes solo with her piano [...]

    Hill Briggs is a one man show on his simply and fittingly titled Solo Album. I find it difficult to begin to articulate all the feelings and complete satisfaction I felt listening to this music.
