Blakely, Mike - West of You – CD (Swing Rider Records) Mike Blakely sings good old country flavored tunes with a folksy flair. I’m one of those people who isn’t too keen on the pop styling that country music has adopted, the so-called new country. So if you...

Catch 22 – Alone in a Crowd – CD (Victory Records) Alright a new release from Catch 22. I’ve loved these guys since I first heard Keasby Nights back in 97. I felt their last release Washed Up wasn’t quite as strong, but I think they’ve come back strong. If...

Cream – The Millennium Collection – CD (Universal Records) Obviously, Cream is a band that needs no introduction. Comprised of Eric Clapton (who was recently elected into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame), Ginger Baker, and Jack Bruce, this seminal...

Deep Reduction – “2” – CD (Get Hip Records) These guys sound very early seventies punkish ala MC5 or the Stooges. I get this picture of a bunch of leather-clad long-haired stoners rocking out in a basement somewhere in the rust belt. However, they are from...

Duster – Contemporary Movement – CD (Up Records) If you are the type who is really into depressing sounding music, then you will love Duster. For those of you who just like good music, you will love this CD as well. And when I say depressing, I’m not...

F.Y.P. – Toys That Kill – CD (Recess Records) This is actually supposed to be the last F.Y.P. or the first Toys That Kill release. Whichever it is, it is classic punk at it’s best. The CD actually starts off with a tune I like to call pub-punk. From...

Gryp – Left Behind – CD (W Recordings) Not great but not horrible rock music that is currently permeating the airwaves on those pseudo alternative rock stations. {Grog} (2001)

James Hunter – Kick It Around – CD (Ruf Records) James Hunter has a sound that’s reminiscent of the 60’s blues type sound. Listening to this release reminds me of the better albums that my parents had. Mr. Hunter’s voice is smooth and the songs are so well...

Tom Jones – Tom…Sings the Sixties – CD (MCI) The Welsh Wonder is known for his unbridled vocal power and intense charisma and it comes through on this album of (other people’s) 60′s hits. Sure many of the songs are overblown with bigger...

Land of Loops – Puttering About a Small Land – CD (Up Records) Land of the Loops is a perfect name for this band. It says it all, but I’ll say it again. This beat is fueled with music loops and sound bites that swirl around soft fun-ky synthesizer....
