"Concrete Country" by the Gene Butler Band

  "Concrete Country" is an excellent Americana/country CD by the Gene Butler Band. The CD is filled with excellent visual songwriting, excellent musicianship, and excellent recording quality. Gene's raspy voice adds a very distinctive, real sound to the music. The songwriting effectively combines thoughtful lyrics with memorable melodies. The band is tight and talented. We especially enjoy the up-tempo songs on the CD. "You Go On Anyway" and "Ride that Train" have an excellent upbeat rhythmic pattern, harmonica fills, fiddle solo, and 2-part harmonies in the memorable chorus. "Love's the Real Thing" is one of our favorite tracks, with its excellent up-tempo rhythmic pattern and harmonica fills. If you enjoy Americana/country music, you will enjoy this CD. Pick up a copy today!

"Wake Up America" by Helen Brown

The best way to describe "Wake Up America" is AUTHENTIC country. This is a heart-felt traditional country CD with Americana and patriotic influences. From the beautiful love songs "You Lose" and "Without You" to the patriotic "Wake Up America" to the foot-stomping "Walk Alone," this CD will keep your interest throughout. In fact, some of the deeper tracks, such as "He's a Good Ole Boy" are our favorites. Another one of our favorite tracks, "Country," features tasteful guitar countermelody riffs that contrast Helen's voice very nicely. The backing band is very tight and talented, and the production and recording quality are very professional. If you enjoy traditional country music that is real and comes from the heart, you'll enjoy this CD. Pick up a copy today!

"Set It Free" by Cindy Boehler


Wow! That's the word that comes to mind when you listen to Set It Free by Cindy Boehler. This mother of seven can sing! Her voice has a very smooth sound with great pitch that will remind you of Karen Carpenter. The CD also includes tremendous backing music by top musicians, including the Jordanaires! The musician's fly up the fretboard in You Gotta Know. One of our favorite tracks is One Step, with a memorable chorus and nice banjo and fiddle fills throughout. If you are a fan of talented mother's who put down their talents to take care of their families, or a fan of country or Americana music, you'll enjoy this CD. Pick up a copy today!

"Mov'n On" By Angela Siracusa

"Mov'n On" is an excellent country/pop CD that features the excellent vocals and songwriting of Angela Siracusa. The songs bring to life the powerful lyrics of Desiree Corso. The CD sends Angela to rising star status. She has all of the elements of a star - A great look to match her excellent voice that is featured on this outstanding CD of country/pop songs. The production and sound quality are excellent. The backing band is tight and impressive. Every track we checked out was solid. "Still Standing" has a strong message, strong vocals, and a memorable chorus. "Concrete Feet" has more of a pop feel, with a powerful chorus that includes a memorable keyboard/violin middle-eastern sounding countermelody.

"Country Soul" by Curtis Clay

"Country Soul" is a powerful collection of songs that cross a number of genres, including country, R&B, and pop. In crossing several genres while highlighting Curtis' strong vocals, the CD underscores one of the advantages of making a CD without the constraints of a big recording label. Curtis' memorable vocals remind us of Lionel Richie, although most of the songs are of a more country style. The solid songwriting provides hook-filled choruses and counter-melodies. The lyrics are well thought out, reflecting on life and love. If you enjoy hearing a talented vocalist sing powerful country, pop, or R&D songs, you will enjoy this CD. Pick up a copy today!
