"City Walls" by Andy Gorwell (Blues artist from Australia)

"City Walls" by Andy Gorwell is an impressive bluesy rock CD. Andy's raspy vocals are very effective on these raw rock tracks. The production on the CD provides a cool, retro 60s rock feel. There was a lot of energy in the tracks we checked out. "Drifting Away from you" is a song about a relationship that effectively uses a slide guitar to evoke a strong emotional feel. "Be My Little Queeny" has a very catchy chorus, and includes an impressive bluesy guitar solo. If you enjoy the music of the Rolling Stones, you'll enjoy this CD. Check it out.

"Been To The River" by J R Roberts (Spiritual/Blues artist from Gainesville/Jacksonville, Florida (FL))

"Been To The River" by J R Roberts is a unique cross between traditional blues and today's contemporary Christian music. The musicianship, songwriting, and recording quality of this CD is very impressive. Opening with the blues-groove "You Are King," listeners are immediately introduced to J R's soulful and powerful vocals. It is clear that J R has quite a keenness for crafting memorable songs. Lyrically, these tunes are perfect for the congregational worship setting. J R showcases his unrefined country blues side with the very intimate title-track, "Been To The River." Moreover, "Jesus Be The Lord Of My Life" ventures into the adult-contemporary genre and demonstrates J R's vocal and musical versatility. All in all, this CD flaunts a wide appeal to fans of gospel, blues, jazz, and adult-contemporary and is well worth a listen.
