Paul Gabriel Album: Man of Many Blues Label: Smoke Ring Genre(s): Contemporary Blues Posted By: Duane Verh
Oct 8, 2019
Review
With Duke Robillard producing, it’s hardly surprising that fellow guitarist/vocalist Paul Gabriel’s current offering sports a brawny backup band, abundant moments of high quality swinging and bluesy balladeering and tasty fretwork from the featured player. Fans of Mr. R should feel right at home with Mr. Gabriel’s lyrically tasty, roots-steeped original fare, abundantly laced with nice play from his side players in addition to his own. Standouts include “Cold, Cold, Cold”, “It Be That Way Sometimes” and “Face Full of Frown”.

Review
Anytime The Supertones release a new album is a cause for celebration, not only among long time fans in their hometown NYC, but also for all fans of the world-wide Surf-Rock instrumental genre that the band specializes in. With guitarist / composer Tim Sullivan at the helm once again, the 2019 CD release of Unknown And Other Hits From Outer Space features 15 newly recorded tracks of instrumental surf-rock gold. Recorded at Brooklyn’s famed Cowboy Technical Services studio, the album spotlights Tim Sullivan on lead guitars, Seth Lipscher (rhythm guitars), Simon Chardiet (bass guitars) and Tommy Mattioli (drums). With production chores by Simon and Tommy, the album sounds excellent and features a number of musical surprises, not the least being instrumental covers of two classics penned by the late great rock legend David Bowie. A cover of Bowie’s “Starman” classic

Review
There are many people pulling for this up-and-coming bluegrass band that takes its name from a North Carolina community where the founding members first met. During 2019, their showcase appearances were well received at the Society for the Preservation of Bluegrass Music of America (SPBGMA) and International Bluegrass Music Association (IBMA) conventions. In 2017, they released their first album on the Rural Rhythm label called “Playing Hard To Forget.” Picked up by the Mountain Fever label, their 2018 album was “No Escape.” This latest project, “Road Signs & Highways,” features two of the band’s original members (guitarist Jacob Greer, mandolinist Zack Arnold) along with 2019 additions Jason Davis (banjo), Kameron Keller (bass) and Jamie Harper (fiddler). It’s a strong lineup of younger guys who seem ready to take their music to

Colorado-based guitarist / composer Wayne Wilkinson is making jazz fans happy with his 2019 album Proceed To Route. Having gigged all over the world, Wayne strikes jazz guitar gold with his new eleven cut album. Combining a range of originals and covers, Proceed To Route has something for both jazz fans and guitar buffs. For pop fans looking for a melodic approach, Wayne tackles the Paul McCartney / Wings era classic “My Love”, as a guitar instro and there's also uptempo covers of Jimmy Webb, Irving Berlin, Count Basie, Duke Ellington, all well situated among new tracks penned by Wayne. The band featured here, backing up Wayne on his eighth indie label release is also worth mentioning, including Andy Burtschi (bass), Todd Williams (drums) and Thomas J. Dawson, who, in addition to producing the album, adds in piano and strings on a pair of tracks. Jazz guitar fans will be
Rick Sparks Album: Hushabye Label: Self-Release Genre(s): New Age Posted By: Robert Silverstein
Oct 7, 2019
Review
No sooner had composer / keyboardist Rick Sparks released his Half Moon Bay album in 2018, that he released his latest masterpiece Hushabye in 2019. Rick’s eleven-track Hushabye follows Half Moon Bay with a splendid, new assortment of relaxing, meditative instrumentals incorporating a sound that has made him a favorite among modern day New Age music listeners. It’s no secret that Rick is a huge fan of American music icon Brian Wilson and, in fact the song “Hushabye” was actually written in 1959 by song writing hero Doc Pomus and recorded by The Beach Boys in 1964. Different Hushabye I know but there isn’t a song called “Hushabye” on Rick’s new album. The artist explains, “Brian always said he used three-part vocal harmonies because to his ear it sounded like angels. I took that to heart by using angelic-sounding wordless voices
