"Other People's Stories" by the talented artist Teira Doom is simply some silky smooth R&B/Soul. She uses heavy R&B influences in her vocal styles as well as with her instrumentation. Doom also displays her creativity as she implements a chorus of voices that alternates with the bright and crisp piano chords in the stirring song "Break Me Off." The track "Finding Home," is a slow, heartfelt track, which gives Doom a chance to really show off her vocals prowess with stunning vocal range and tonality. "Other People's Stories" is a great album for any fan of R&B/Soul, urban grooves, or strong female vocals and is well worth listening to.

I want to wish you the best of the holiday season - have a great Christ Celebration and an awesome 2010. My Calgary CD Release is going to be amazing (see my website calendar for details) as I'm releasing the CD during the run of "Second Bloom". I am performing in this production playing the part of ex rocker now music therapist Sidney Sargeant (well I'm basically playing me!). It's going to be a terrific show and the sneal peek reviews have been really, really strong!!
Peace and Love,
Daniel

Great Instruction for Great Guitar Players
The Latin Rock fusion band Del Castillo and their self-titled album is a thorough blend of styles from all around Latin America and Spain coupled with sultry, romantic, and even tragic lyrics. All thirteen tracks will pull the listener into dramatic sounds of flamenco guitars and the lively beats of conga and bongo drums. "Boricua del Cielo" is a flamenco salsa crossover that opens the CD giving a perfect introduction to the style of this band. The song speaks of an enchanting woman who seems to have 'magic' in the way that she dances. The harmony in this track brings a lot of life to the lyrics and it's near impossible to not dance or at least want to when listening. "Anybody Wanna" is a Spanglish cumbia-rock combo that has an easy going sound throughout the track, but invites the listener to dance at the same time. A standard drum set is prominent in this track and the lead singer's strong vocal range is fully showcased. Where the Gypsy Kings and Los Lonely Boys met is where Del Castillo was created. This is a CD that can and will be enjoyed by aficionados of multiple musical tastes.

New from Italy's Pedale Baroque, "Balumba Tombo revolution" is another eclectic compilation of Pop and World Music artists and songs reflecting the wide-open scope of the unique project that produced '07's "Balumba Tombo reloaded." From the psych-inspired "Sea Child" by Danger, to the East-meets-West hybrid sound of Gandhi Goes to Bollywood's "Welcome to Legoland," the diversity of the 10 tracks blend perfectly to create a borderless pastiche of pure musicality. "Requiematic" by Maestro Poldo Catara dabbles in classical nuances, while CD-opener, "Distraction physique" by Bohemian Flambe, is straight-ahead rock with a decided French influence. Elsewhere, Frograssa's weird and unsettling "Frogs in frocks" and the ultra-'80's feel of Leonid Sdjalayev' "Eto niemoi film?" push the boundaries without sounding uncharacteristic or out of place. A CD for the musically adventurous, the "Balumba Tombo revolution" compilation is a provocative mix of styles and influences that will leave you wanting more from the compelling and innovative Pedale Baroque collective.

"Down 2 Us" by Roshan & Shivani, was an album released by the duo in 1995. In this album Shivani provides the captivating voice and Roshan the creative guitar play; which are incorporated into a variety of musical genres in an inspirational and Adult Contemporary/Pop style. "Anything You Want" is a Jazzy and upbeat song, featuring a brass section, in which Shivani sings about her love for another. "The Last Ride" is a bluesier track in which Roshan's descriptive guitar playing really shines. "Mankind" is a Reggae/Caribbean style song, replete with steel drums, in which a duo of voices sings to us about how everyone should, and can be kind to one another. This album is a mix of songs from many genres, from all around the world, which overall are played calmly because the true message is in the positive words of the vocalist. Whether you like a good mix of Adult Contemporary/Pop songs or music that celebrates the positive possibilities of life, "Down 2 Us" could be an album for you.

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.
