"Let It Go" by Fishing With Dynamite (Country Artist from Georgia (GA))

2009-03-20T08:21:00.001-07:00

Charlie Daniels once said "The South's Gonna Do it Again" and it very much has with the recently released CD, "Let it Go" by the country rock group Fishing With Dynamite. The Southern Rock genre has had a gaping hole in it every since the tragic lost of Lynyrd Skynyrd's front man Ronnie Van Zant, but Fishing With Dynamite is gladly taking the reins of contemporary southern-fused rock. Give "Gone and Faded" a good listen and you'll know exactly what we mean. The band oozes Charlie Daniels with the use of violin as the primary solo instrument and kicks it up a notch with the rocking vibes of the band, The Outlaws. They also tone it down a bit and play some heartfelt country tunes on songs like "For Granted" and "Hank, I Hope You Were Right." Also, be sure to listen to the excellent slide guitar work on "Backwoods Man." Any fan of Charlie Daniels or Toby Keith will love "Let it Go" as this disc is filled with good old country rock.

"Take My Soul" by Shak (World/New Age Artist from Washington (WA))

2009-03-20T08:07:00.001-07:00

Instrumentalist and songwriter, Shak, has written a very unique love story on his latest album, "Take My Soul." Although it is all instrumental, Shak does an excellent job depicting a couple's blossoming and sometimes tumultuous relationship through song. Listen to "A New Dawn," a track which screams of hope and curiosity, much like any new relationship. Along the way, the couple goes through extreme highs and lows, all documented through the creative mind of Shak. Sometimes the couple's relationship is doing well as heard on "Close to My Heart" and sometimes not, which "I Am Sorry" clearly portrays. Shak does an outstanding job composing his well written emotional feelings through melody and instrumentation about what most average couples all go through. If you are looking for a really interesting CD and you love instrumentals, then you won't be disappointed when you listen to "Take My Soul."

"Never Give Up" by Cuba Gooding (Urban/Soul Artist from New York City, New York (NY))

2009-02-20T13:31:00.001-08:00

Former lead singer of the Main Ingredient, Cuba Gooding, unveiled his stunning single "Never Give Up" at the 2009 presidential inauguration. This spectacular single is not only inspirational but should be considered poetry in musical motion. The lyrics are uplifting and soar straight to the heart. Gooding's vocals are exceptional as they are strong and project emotional expression with an excellent range. There is also some solid support from the orchestra as the violins sustain a sweet touch while the piano maintains nice chord progressions. "Never Give Up" is a magnificent anthem of encouragement and confidence with memorable lyrics of faith and hope.

RadioIndy is pleased to present John Neville with a GrIndie Award for the CD "Bird Songs of the North American Prairie"

2009-01-19T20:22:00.001-08:00

RadioIndy is pleased to present John Neville with a GrIndie Award for the CD "Bird Songs of the North American Prairie"

Nature recorder John Neville is at it again with "Bird Songs of the North American Prairie," a 182-track double CD release that gives the listener the pleasure of hearing the calls of 168 birds and, as an added bonus, six mammals. Neville narrates over each of his live recordings, informing the listener about which bird they are hearing. This release, like his others, serves a wonderful, instructional, and informational purpose, especially for those interested in birdcalls and bird watching. "Bird Songs of the North American Prairie," is well-produced, and Neville's narrative dubs, as well as his initial live recordings are lively and distinct. "Cd1 Introduction" introduces the release with Neville informing the listener that he is spending sixteen weeks recording these birds, many of which are rare and nearing extinction. "Common Loon" displays the calming night chorus of the common loon on a lake. The majority of the other tracks are as straightforwardly approached, so if you're curious about one particular bird you can skip right to it. "Bird Songs of the North American Prairie" is a success, both as an instructional album and as an exploration of nature, and should be picked up by anyone interested in birdsongs and birdcalls.

"Mediterranean Myths" by Yiorgos Magoulas (World Artist from Greece)

2008-05-11T20:22:00.001-07:00

"Mediterranean Myths" by Yiorgos Magoulas is an emotional instrumental album that features innovative combinations of instruments. Somewhere in these eclectic arrangements a Mediterranean feel is present. The tracks all hold a certain power to them and are very cinematic. The tracks on this CD envoke emotion. The production quality is great, especially considering it is electronic/sample based. All in all, Mr. Magoulas' musical style is highly unique and refreshingly undefinable. Highlights include "Promise," which is very well arranged, has a great build and a wonderful medley of instruments. "Color Suite - Prelude" is a string arrangement that will pull right at your heart. "Phaedra" is an intense orchestral piece with nice percussive elements and more interesting instrument choices. If you like unique, emotion driven orchestral music, you'll like this CD.

"Tumult" by Vincent (New Age Artist from Virginia(VA))

2008-04-15T21:19:00.001-07:00

"Tumult" by Vincent is an imaginative instrumental CD that is, in a way, a conceptual album.The intent of this album is to reach into your mind and stir various emotions. The sound is worldly and yet traditional. The arrangements are definitely outside the norm. Since the CD is meant to envoke emotion, expect some romanticism, but also expect some ecclecticism. On that note, the arrangements are quite interesting, full and well-layered. Highlights are "Forest Glade Creatures, " which features an angelic harp and a very active woodwind arrangement. "The Tempest" is a wild and archaic blend of creative sounds. "The Takeover" is another big number and features some intense pipe organ and a cinematic flair. If you like John Williams with an interesting twist, you'll like this one.

"O Holy Night" by Elizabeth (Easy Listening/Spiritual artist from Oklahoma (OK))

2008-04-04T10:46:00.001-07:00

"O Holy Night" by Elizabeth is a 3-song collection of spiritual songs that feature the incredible voices of Bet and Ashtyn Wallace. The strong and lilting rendition of an old favorite religious melody, "O Holy Night," brings the talent of both mother and daughter to light, and displays the especially beautiful mix of their voices when they harmonize. Both vocalists have pitch-perfect vibrant voices and clear diction which enhances their performances. The keyboard work at the beginning of "I Don't Wanna Go" gives a full appreciation of the strong backup work on this selection and blends extremely well with the gentle voices of the vocalists. If you enjoy beautiful spiritual music or emotionally-moving female vocalists, you will enjoy this CD.

Into the Mouth of the Tiger is a live recording that highlights the musicianship of this fine instrumental progressive rock band. The recording provides a flash back into live performances of a very talented band. Considering that these are live performances of complex songs, the band is very tight. The recordings, which apparently are over 20 years old, capture the energy of the live performances nicely. Hunting Extremely Large Animals is a track that highlights the interesting sounds of the different instruments, and also features impressive drum fills. The virtuoso skill level of all of the members of the band is apparent throughout. If you enjoy instrumental rock music and big-name bands such as Genesis and Yes, you will enjoy this CD.
