Starr is not only the vocalist on this album but he plays all instrumentation will a highly talented style and grace. The energy to under take this project really paid off as this album is swarming with excellent songs. When you hear the song, "Nothing Short," one can feel his honesty in his voice while the soothing guitar sweetly strums along. Starr also adds a bit of mystifying synth tones to the song, "Night Sky/Wichita," as the vocals are rootsy and melodic. "Halfway Home" is another great song with guitar, strings, drums, and Starr's flair for sweet and charming vocals. If you're a fan of the Eagles or Jackson Browne, then "Songs From the Witness Tree," is an album you will really enjoy.

"Return from Broken" by Matt Soren (Rock Artist from Utah)

2010-04-19T14:17:00.001-07:00

Matt Soren's newest album is "Return from Broken." It is one in which Soren fuses intense Electronic and Psychedelic Rock techniques to present a very cutting-edge sounding album that was made after Soren's successful battle with addiction and recovery. In "Breathe" we hear an echoed and industrial-type beat interact with Soren's effected voice and dancing synth tones. "Become" is a complex and building song with a lot of electronic sounds moving in and out giving way to a more soothing sounding tonality. For "On the Edge" we hear Soren play a relatively simple song as he begins by playing on his acoustic guitar before more hallucinatory sounds slowly move in. This is an album that is best described as Psychedelic/Industrial Rock, where the traditional use of the guitar is abandoned for more industrial sounding effects. Fans of Nine Inch Nails or Muse would find themselves drawn to Matt Soren's album, "Return from Broken."

"Together" is a song that has more of a traditional Blues beat to it but is unique through the emotive vocal interplay between Ritzy and his talented female guest vocalist. In this album, Ritzy has channeled the varying Rock styles of the past few generations and expresses them through zestful Blues/Rock songs with style and attitude. Fans of Stevie Ray Vaughan or Led Zeppelin will thoroughly enjoy the rocking songs of "Real Tapes."

"Millennial Sequence: Jailbreak!" by Tom Lucas (Rock Artist from New York(NY))

2010-01-25T15:33:00.001-08:00

Tom Lucas' long-awaited 3rd album(packaging of this CD is available in English, French and German), "Millennial Sequence: Jailbreak!," finds the singer-songwriter returning to the scene after a too-long, 25-year hiatus. With a style that's been referred to as Psych / Folk Rock (but perhaps more closely approximated mid-'70's, NY-centric Punk / New Wave 'artistes', such as Patti Smith, Richard Hell or Lou Reed), Lucas reached legendary status with 2 albums that now command hefty collector's prices for their rarity and uniqueness. His new CD, "Millennial Sequence: Jailbreak!" - while more expansive than his earlier albums (3 songs clock in at over 6 minutes in length), bears the same trademark idiosyncratic – but completely accessible, piano-based pop-rock songs. CD-opener, "Out of Jail," is a well-crafted David Bowie-meets-Leonard Cohen ballad, both urbane and autumnal in its wistfulness, while "Paris of My Heart (Paris de mon Coeur)," with Lucas crooning in a wide-eyed David Byrne-like wonderment, is an impressive 8-minute-plus epic. Other highlights include the soulfully infectious "Nothing But Joy," with Lucas backed by what sounds like a rag-tag street chorus, and the ethereal "Birds of Prey," which takes the singer full-circle, invoking the above-mentioned Patti Smith in its quiet intensity. Twenty-five years in the making, Tom Lucas' new CD, "Millennial Sequence: Jailbreak!," is just in time to re-introduce the enigmatic artist to listeners who would rather forego formulaic pop for genuine and uncompromising - if rough-around-the-edges, artistry.

RadioIndy is pleased to present Pixilated Theory with a GrIndie Award for the CD "Top Secret "

Step into a dominion of artistic Experimental synth Pop/Rock music as Pixilated Theory's imagination runs wild on their recent album, "Top Secret." Pixilated Theory, which is comprised of two outstanding musicians, Jonathan Hall and Michael Hall, powers this fourteen track album with sometimes strange and mystifying tonality. Even as you browse through the song titles, each one produces images of space age mystery. Setting the tone for the album, "SETI Communication" stirs eerie visions as a synthesized, child- like voice penetrates deftly over the chilling sound effects. The cryptic poetry on "White Walls" easily spins around the creepy synth sounds. Displaying a softer pop style, "Angel of this World" is sweet and tender with thoughtful vocals and lyrics. If you're a fan of the groups Depeche Mode or Pet Shop Boys, you will surely want to hear the inventive mixture of experimental music on the CD, "Top Secret."

RadioIndy is pleased to present Evolve IV with a GrIndie Award for the CD "Decadent Light "

"Decadent Light" by Evolve iv is a deep, hard-hitting progressive/alternative rock CD. This album doesn't hold back the talent of the guitarists at all.

"Listen Up" will have the listener nodding their head as they mentally try to follow the tricky, melodic guitar and catchy lyrics.

2010-01-17T16:21:00.001-08:00

RadioIndy is pleased to present Media Line Road with a GrIndie Award for the CD "Sagittarius Passing Through"

Media Line Road mix '60's and '70's-era pop-rock sensibilities with kaleidoscopic flair on their fine new CD, "Sagittarius Passing Through." Recalling classic rock bands such as Pink Floyd ("We're Not From Here"), The Doors ("I've Been Trying"), Moody Blues ("Fly"), and especially, the solo work of George Harrison, the 14-track collection features the kind of echo-y psychedelic effects that defined a lost era of Rock. CD-opener, "Old Belle's Bop," a tremolo-laden pop song with tasty slide licks, boasts more than a hint of George Harrison-like Top 40 charm, while "It's Kinda Creepy Baby" sounds like a demented carnival nightmare (check out the backward guitar overdubs). Re-visiting the Harrison reference, "Prayer" is a spiritual ballad with some excellent interplay between slide and mandolin, and "Good To Have You Back Again" exudes the polished pop of Harrison's work with Jeff Lynne. All told, Media Line Road's "Sagittarius Passing Through" CD is a potent and winning blend of classic and psychedelic rock influences that touches all the right bases.

"Threshold" by Sugar Blue (Rock Artist from New York City, New York(NY))

2010-01-12T19:01:00.001-08:00

"Threshold" is the latest record from the highly acclaimed recording artist Sugar Blue. It is a record comprised of songs that fuse Rock, Funk, Jazz, and Blues all around Sugar's Grammy-winning harmonica playing and features a cast of highly professional musicians. The track, "Messin' with the kid," is a classic Blues tune with a little bit of exhilaration thrown in and features some gritty and soulful harmonica playing from Sugar. "Noel news" is a funky piece, played with a little bit of Creole influence, that celebrates what Christmas is like down in the crescent city of New Orleans. "Don't call me" is more of a tranquil jazz song in which Sugar lets his harmonica playing be a soulful backup to his vocals as he emotionally croons to the one he loves.

"Illusions of Control" by Aerial View (Rock Artist from California(CA))

2010-01-12T17:50:00.001-08:00

The second released album from the talented group Aerial View is "Illusions of Control." It is an album recorded in the Rock styles of the 80's and early 90's. The song, "All You Need," is a throbbing rock song with scathing guitar solos and dynamic vocals. Another song, "Doubt," has catchy lyrics and vocal patterns that are combined with dancing guitar sounds to make for a toe-tapping rock song. With the track "Kapygna," they release their aggressive side on this song that almost sounds like the music of Rush as the tight chemistry of the guitar, bass, and drums runs full throttle with a hard rock style fury. This album is one in which a band successfully harks back to that time when rock was between classic rock and the alternative movement. For those who enjoy the music of Rush, Tool, or similar bands, "Illusions of Control" is an album you will want to check out.

"Occupantional Hazard" by Gary M Hall / The Occupants (Folk Rock Artist from Colorado(CO))

2009-12-19T18:10:00.001-08:00

Gary M Hall / The Occupants latest album goes by the comical name of "Occupantional Hazard." This is an album of songs that range from Folksy/singer-songwriter to quasi-psychedelic rock, always led by Gary M Hall and his honed guitar playing. "Welcome Black" is one of the more dream-like songs, in which Gary sings slowly and with much reverb over guitar picking in an almost early Pink Floyd like number. For "The Hills of Platonia" we encounter a song that features just the guitar, yet it is a beautifully moving and serene song. "I'd Rather Be Round" is more of a frolicking and playful tune that features mostly silly vocals and quick guitar playing, think Bob Dylan meets Raffy. Gary M Hall is an accomplished guitarist who has played almost four decades and has been involved with many musical genres, and it shows within this album. Check out "Occupantional Hazard" if you think you would enjoy an album of guitar-led and amusing, yet quasi-hallucinatory, Folk/Rock.

"Restoring Balance" by The Bards of Balance (Rock/Acoustic Artists from Connecticut(CT))

2009-12-19T17:58:00.000-08:00

The Bards of Balance have a different goal than most artists out there and their music proves to be quite interesting. Their album, "Restoring Balance" is a collection of Folk/Pop music written by the band leader Kirk Sinclair to coincide with his book "Systems out of Balance." The music obviously has a lot to say, seeing as it's taken from the 564 page epic from Sinclair. The feeling of the album is some mix of acoustic Dan Fogelberg music mixed with The Schoolhouse Rock sound. The track "Middle Class Harmony" is a good example of this combination. They try to change their style a bit from song to song as you can hear on, "I'm Working," which has steel drums giving it a tropical island feel. "Restoring Balance" features interesting and entertaining lyrics of economical, political, and cultural inclinations and if you are looking to hear something new and original with a Folk/Pop feel then take a listen.

"Shoot Em Up" by Ramblin Dawgs (Rock Artist from New Jersey(NJ))

2009-12-13T20:35:00.001-08:00

Ramblin Dawgs' newest CD goes by the name of "Shoot Em Up." This album is a collection of upbeat, sometimes aggressive, traditional blues-rock songs. In "Cross the Line" we get a frolicking blues song that is at times gritty with electric guitar, and at times groovy with funky synthesizer and bass interplay. For "Thrill is Gone" we hear the Dawgs take on a BB King classic, which they execute well in a dance-friendly rendition which does the original justice. Then in "Steppin Up" we hear a more contemporary blues song sung in a head-bobbin' style sure to make blues fans want to move. The Ramblin Dawgs are for anyone who not only appreciates traditional blues, but also for those who like funk and blues-crossovers. If you are a fan of Muddy Waters or Stevie Ray Vaughn, then the new CD, "Shoot Em Up," is right for you.

The most recent album from Brokenworks goes by the name of "Blaze Away." It is an album recorded, to be very vague, in a "Rock" style mentality but that doesn't say much as the songs of the album fall everywhere on the Rock genre spectrum. What unites the music of the album is that is it created as a tuneful affirmation of God's love. "Count It All Joy" is a boisterous and fun Rock song that celebrates the feelings of joy one can feel within their life. "Long Live the King" is a slow moving Rock ballad, with a focus on the piano that is in reverence to the creator of us all. "Sanctuary" is a song that decides to simplify things and focus on the harmony between male and female vocals, with a beautifully played acoustic guitar in the background. This album is perfect for those who enjoy a band who attempts to show many sides of Rock music within one album, as well as those who appreciate Contemporary music that is in celebration of the divine.

"Unbroken" by Patrick DeGennaro (Pop/Rock Artist from New York City, New York(NY))

2009-12-12T17:10:00.001-08:00

Patrick DeGennaro's latest album, "Unbroken," is an album recorded in an adult Pop/Rock fashion with songs that take from the Blues, Rock, and Jazz genres. "Standing Up Straight" is a toe-tapping blues song, in which groovy guitars and solid organ chords interact with Patrick's unique vocals. The song, "The Best of Me," is a slow moving ballad in which Patrick shares heartfelt feelings over sweet and soothing piano playing. Another song, "Let Me Be Your Eyes Again," is an adult contemporary song which uses a jittering beat in a song that takes from both the Blues and Jazz. This music works well for those who can appreciate an adult contemporary artist who makes their voice the central instrument around different types of musical styles. People who appreciate Billy Joel's slower songs would do best to check out Patrick DeGennaro's latest release "Unbroken."

RadioIndy is pleased to present IYAM with a GrIndie Award for the CD "Better Than Ever "

RadioIndy is pleased to present IYAM with a GrIndie Award for the CD "Better Than Ever "

Released for '09, IYAM's "Better Than Ever" CD, a collection of Classic Rock with Heavy Metal theatrics, sounds as fresh and relevant as ever. Since the likes of Pink Floyd and Black Sabbath popularized grandiose, anthem like Hard Rock virtues back in the day, many other sub-genres of Rock have come and gone, but Hard Rock and Metal's appeal has never waned. IYAM prove themselves accomplished purveyors in their own right, displaying said virtues on an album that hits all the right marks: songs built on riffs of unstoppable force, slashing lead guitar work worthy of Randy Rhodes, well-crafted and exemplary lyrics that get to the heart of what Metal is all about; and a singer with the rage, fire, and immediacy to bring it all home. Highlights include "Witches And Warlocks," built on a thundering blues riff, CD-opener "All Is Well," a rocker with soaring hooks, and "Going Through The Motions," with its Gothic atmosphere. IYAM's "Better Than Ever" CD is, simply, well-executed and powerful classic hard rock.

RadioIndy is pleased to present Graham Gorrie with a GrIndie Award for the CD "Mark on the Stage "

2009-11-21T18:17:00.000-08:00

RadioIndy is pleased to present Graham Gorrie with a GrIndie Award for the CD "Mark on the Stage "

Graham Gorrie refuses to be bound by convention or stylistic constraints on his fine debut CD, "Mark on the Stage," instead carving out a rock 'n' roll path that emphasizes smart songcraft . Like his brilliant fellow Aussie singer-songwriter, Paul Kelly, Gorrie's originality is borne out over 13 rock / folk-rock songs that are as meaningful as they are satisfying. Songs like CD-opener, "Closing My Eyes," with its alternating guitar and harmonica fills or "Hard to Do," with its effective female-lead interpolations, each display a deft touch for finding the right textural context for the composition at hand. On "Red Wine Dreams" Gorrie offers up a rare jazz-like ambience while the socially-conscious "Resistance," with its engaging melody, calls to mind yet another Australian act, the great Midnight Oil. Throughout the album, though, Gorrie's songs resonate with conviction and true-believer passion, making "Mark on the Stage" not only a particularly noteworthy debut CD, but one that will likely be a jumping-off point for an artist of considerable talent.

"Space Between The Drops" by Sky Cries Mary (Ambient/Rock Artist from Seattle, Washington(WA))

2009-11-19T19:01:00.001-08:00

Sky Cries Mary, the Seattle Trance Rock band, has released a new album titled "Space Between The Drops." It is an album undoubtedly recorded in the audiophile style, as it is an exercise in playing with spacey sounds and psychedelic rock compositions. The song "Rain" begins for a while with a growing soundscape of rain falling heavily and interspersed with moving and floating talking in the background, eventually progressing into a slow and pulsating pysch-rock song that never fully leaves the feeling of the rain it began with. The song "Want" is an emotional track that dances with darker feelings in a song that coolly extracts its feel through a medium tempo beat, strong and solid bass riff, and highlighted with expressive vocals and some sweet string synth play. "These Old Bones" is more ballad-like with a heavy focus on the sound of guitar and an outstanding male/female vocal interplay. This album is for those who appreciate the creativity of psychedelic sounds with interesting and melodic vocals and love musicians who play with that in mind. So, for those who love bands like Pink Floyd or maybe Tortoise, "Space Between the Drops" should be something you should hear.

"Movin' On" by Papasean Johnson (Blues/Rock Artist from British Columbia, Canada)

2009-11-18T19:20:00.001-08:00

"Movin' On" is the latest album from Papasean Johnson. It is an album recorded in the Blues/Rock style of a generation past, with catchy guitar riffs over driving beats coupled with energetic and loud vocals. "Ain't No Friend of Mine" combines elements from 50's rock with a contemporary edge in a rock song that really swings. "Young And Restless" is a grittier song that reminisces about the good old times of youth. For "Still Love That Girl" we find a more traditional blues song that is adapted into the groovy and loud style of Papasean Johnson. Overall, "Movin' On" is filled with a plethora of cool riffs over rhythmic beats that lie somewhere in-between straight-rock and dance-rock. This album is a good find for people who enjoy the likes of ZZ Top or other high tempo Blues/Rock acts.

RadioIndy is pleased to present Sierra Hurtt with a GrIndie Award for the CD "8 or 80 "

Songwriter/vocalist Sierra Hurtt's debut album, "8 or 80," is comprised of crisp and refreshing contemporary pop/rock while highly flavorful with folk attitude. Hurtt, who is no stranger to the music scene, charts her own course into the music industry with a voice that is strong and emotive, and emits qualities of deep, rooted, soulful distinctions. Peaceful and serene comes to mind when hearing "Solace," with the soothing acoustic guitar and the tranquility in Hurtt's voice. Laid-back and full of solid vibes, "Rooftops" is embedded with expressive rock guitar riffs that swarm around the sultry vocals that Hurtt generously delivers. A beautiful blend of tingling vocals and thoughtful lyrics meld together with the sweet guitar licks on the gem, "Circles." Don't miss a chance to hear this wonderful album, "8 or 80," especially if you're a fan of Joni Mitchell or Carole King, because with Sierra Hurtt at the helm, you're in for a fantastic ride.

RadioIndy is pleased to present JK Rockets with a GrIndie Award for the CD "Songs From The Cradle of Rock 'N' Roll "

"Songs From the Cradle of Rock 'N' Roll" by the trio known as Jk Rockets takes listeners on a euphoric trip back to the classic era of rockabilly. The flagships of this CD - superior instrumentation, authentic vocal performances, and top-notch production - meld to create a collection that is nostalgically irresistible and delightfully energetic. The light-hearted and groovy "Text Me Baby" highlights the highly refined musicianship and cleverly composed lyrics displayed on this record. "Brand New Me" slows down the pace a bit, seducing listeners with a contagious blues vibe. Furthermore, the anthem like "Never 2 Late 2 Rock" reinforces the theme of this work, while delivering a powerhouse rock performance filled with brilliant guitar leads and solos. Fans of roots rock, blues, and country marked by relentless energy and excitement will discover a new era of musical euphoria with "Songs From the Cradle of Rock 'N' Roll."

RadioIndy is pleased to present Too Slim and the Taildraggers with a GrIndie Award for the CD "Free Your Mind "

2009-11-10T17:19:00.001-08:00

RadioIndy is pleased to present Too Slim and the Taildraggers with a GrIndie Award for the CD "Free Your Mind "

With their 10th studio album, titled "Free Your Mind", the roots-rockers of Too Slim and the Taildraggers deliver an album deserving of a broader recognition than the semi-legendary regional status the band has garnered as a live-circuit fixture in their area. Leader Tim "Too Slim" Langford has mixed classic rock with R&B sensibilities as the Taildraggers more than ably provide a powerhouse ensemble backing on the 11 original compositions. Setting the tone with both his raspy vocals and fiery guitar work, Too Slim exhorts redemption on the slow rocker "Peace With the Maker," does battle with his demons on the blues-rock stomp of "Been Through Hell," and mines the depths of the times on the charged, minor-key gem, "Last Train." With the help of a talented trio of female singers, "Free Your Mind," while relying on a roots-rock vernacular, otherwise transcends easy categorization. The accoutrements are classic guitar-stoked rock, but the individual songs make this album less a product of a genre or type than a fully-realized rock statement. For a band whose recording career spans almost 20 years, it is no less accomplished than what you would expect, and the grit & polish of Too Slim & the Taildraggers' "Free your Mind" will be enjoyed by fans of Tom Petty and ZZ Top.

RadioIndy is pleased to present The Leftovers with a GrIndie Award for the CD "Reheat and Serve "

2009-11-10T17:03:00.001-08:00

RadioIndy is pleased to present The Leftovers with a GrIndie Award for the CD "Reheat and Serve "

Classic power-trio rock driven by the kind of fiery and blistering guitar flourishes that defines the genre is the order of the day on The Leftovers fine new CD, "Reheat and Serve." Alternately flashing the kind of licks a fan of Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton, or Stevie Ray Vaughan would drool over, veteran rocker D. Logan Foster leads a 3-piece band through a 9-song workout of blues fire and rock dynamics with drama and flair. With wife Cassandra Roxanne (Bass) and Bennie Bee (drums) proving a rock-solid and inventive rhythm section, classic blues rock gets a makeover on the Santana-inflected "Simple Woman" while the Southern chug of "Your Eyes Give You Away" are right out of the Lynyrd Skynyrd playbook. CD-opener, "Let's Do It Again" surges with a Hendrix-like fury as Foster's slashing chops cuts through the song like lightning bolts. But in the best of power-trio traditions (e.g., Cream, Hendrix Experience, Blue Cheer), sheer sonic power is often tempered in service of the song, as on the closer, "Mississippi Blues," a blues shuffle that features Foster's earthy and down-home vocals to best effect. Classic by design and execution, The Leftovers CD, "Reheat and Serve" is anything but warmed-over: instead, it's a vibrant and charged tasting of blues-rock that will always have a place on the classic rock menu.

RadioIndy is pleased to present Tom Lucas with a GrIndie Award for the CD "Red Letter Day "

2009-11-10T16:37:00.001-08:00

RadioIndy is pleased to present Tom Lucas with a GrIndie Award for the CD "Red Letter Day "

Originally released in 1976, "Red Letter Day" by Tom Lucas is a CD packed with the truest form of American Rock. Lucas' lyrics deal with the never-ending political issues of our time and don't hold back on his sentiments. Close your eyes and listen to Lucas' vocals as they are pure, crisp, and simple, whereas you might even think you are hearing Neil Young. "Babylon Rising" is piano-driven with an energetic Blues/Rock tonality. The original album contained nine tracks, but the addition of a new track, "Stars In The Night," gives the listeners a taste of nice harmonies and moving beats. The ballad-like song, "Days Numbered," displays emotive vocals and laid-back piano interplay. The entire collection of music on this album is straightforward and well-produced. Fans of Bob Dylan or Neil Young will most certainly want to add Tom Lucas' "Red Letter Day" to their collection of politically-charged albums.
