“Guitar Language” by Nebojsa Buhin Nebo (Blues artist from Croatia)

"Guitar Language" by Nebojsa Buhin Nebo is an impressive pop-rock/blues instrumental album. The musicianship on this CD is exceptional – powerful electric and acoustic guitars steal the limelight, backed by soothing drum arrangements. The pop-oriented "Remember Feat Marko Ramljak" stands out with its compelling lead guitar melody, beautiful violin accompaniments, and very epic climax. "Blues for You Feat Dimitar Božikov" assumes a softer, more soulful blues sound and carries a very vivid emotional life of its own. Moreover, the Latin-flavored "Big Girl Feat Ricardo Luque" is the only non-instrumental track on this CD, serving up some delightful vocals. Professional production finishes off this musically superior assembly. This CD is an excellent addition to the collection of any fan who enjoys rock guitar virtuoso music.

“Travelin’ Man” by Donald Ray Johnson (Blues artist from Canada)

"Travelin' Man" by Donald Ray Johnson is an all-around great blues album. Immediately grabbing the attention of listeners is the eclectic instrumentation – electric guitars, organs, and brass instruments mix to produce a uniquely compelling sound. Donald Ray's soulful tenor timbre is full of passion and control. Furthermore, the songwriting on this CD is crafted with highly relatable and poetic lyrics.The tear-inducing love ballad "Always On My Mind" ventures away from this CD's general upbeat pace, and allows Johnson to show off a softer, more personal side. "Last Two Dollars" shines with a hint of R&B flare, and draws listeners in with a powerful saxophone intro. Every aspect of "Travelin' Man" exemplifies professionalism. This is one CD that will not go unnoticed.
