"Unknown Man" by Roger and the Rockets (Country Artist from Sweden)
"Unknown Man" is a great upbeat, eighteen track alt-country album from Swedish outfit Roger and the Rockets. Led by phenomenal singer/songwriter Roger Häggström, Roger and the Rockets have created a solid album that draws from the roots Americana, Irish folk, blues, and bluegrass genres. The arrangements are driven by toe-tapping drum beats, nice bass lines, soaring guitars, and great musical additions including violin, banjo, mandolin, harmonica, hand claps, and group vocals. Roger's delivery is with a unique country vocal, refreshing and a great match for the arrangements. The songs are fun and upbeat featuring imaginative and meaningful lyrics about trying to understand women, hope, lonesomeness, and politics. "Unknown Man" is well-produced and sounds nothing but clean and professional. "Out of This Place" has a nice arrangement with a great drum beat and exceptional mandolin and acoustic guitar work and a great group vocal on the catchy chorus. "I Got Hope" is a political track about "hope for a better world" with a great arrangement, thought-provoking lyrics, and more great group vocals. "What a Ride" is a bluesy track featuring harmonica, a classic blues arrangement, and more great lyrics. With "Unknown Man," singer/songwriter Roger Häggström and his backing band, the Rockets, have composed an excellent and original album sure to be met with worldwide acclaim. Fans of upbeat country-lenient alt-country should definitely give Roger and the Rockets a listen. -Chris & the RadioIndy.com Review Team

"Waiting To Fall" by Low Rent (Country Artist from Australia)
"Waiting To Fall" is an excellent debut EP that uniquely blends alt-country with folk from Melbourne, Australia's Low Rent. Low Rent is headed by singer/songwriter and guitarist Dan Swan, but the full sound is fully captured only with the assistance of some of Melbourne's finest musicians. By throwing piano, organ, harmonica, mandolin, steel guitar, bass, and drums into the mix, Low Rent have created five alt-country/folk gems that you will not soon tire of. Swan's vocal performance blends a great country twang with his natural Aussie accent, resulting in a high-pitched delivery great for the genres he captures with the arrangements. "Waiting To Fall" is filled with interesting sound effects, build ups and stellar, heartfelt songwriting. It is well-recorded and, not unlike the musicians themselves, sounds absolutely professional. "Sundays Rain" introduces the EP with a slow build featuring great acoustic and piano work, then moves into a great full alt-country arrangement. "My Only" closes the EP out with nice acoustic guitar work, a great vocal performance from Swan and the female backing vocalist, and more great emotive lyrics. "Waiting To Fall" is overall an excellent EP that leaves the listener in eager anticipation for what Low Rent's debut full-length will have to offer. Fans of alt-country and folk, check out Dan Swan and Low Rent.-Chris & the RadioIndy.com Review Team

"You're Really Bugging Me Now" by Clint Morgan (Country Artist from Texas(TX))
"You're Really Bugging Me Now" is an excellent piano blues/country gospel album from Clint Morgan, a talented musician with a great sense of humor. The entire album breathes Morgan's personality by combining secular and non-secular songs, Morgan's takes on gospel classics, and intelligently humorous songs about women and Wal-Mart. The arrangements center around Morgan's intricate piano work true to the blues, early rock & roll, and boogie woogie genres, though they also feature nice beats and some great blues guitar work. Morgan's vocals on the country gospel tracks are reminsicent to the crooning bass vocals of Johnny Cash, while the blues tracks sound like a fusion between Cash and Stevie Ray Vaughn. "You're Really Bugging Me Now" is well-produced, and it sounds polished and ready for extended play. "The Wonder of You" is a blues rock track with a great arrangement featuring organ, piano, guitar solos and some great, humorous lyrics about married life. "Garbage Man" immediately follows the standard gospel track "Just A Closer Walk With Thee" and features hilarious lyrics about Morgan's wife running around with the garbage man and the milk man and has an excellent piano solo. "You're Really Bugging Me Now" is a great album from an extremely interesting personality and should be picked up by any piano blues fan.-Chris & the RadioIndy.com Review Team

"Remnants of Isadore" by Remnants of Isadore (Country Artist from Ohio(OH))
"Remnants of Isadore" is the excellent self-titled, alt-country debut from singer/songwriter Ernie Arroyo and Remnants of Isadore. Think early Wilco meets Nickelcreek. Arroyo is the brainchild of Remnants of Isadore, but this album could not have been made had it not been for the plethora of talented Cleveland-area musicians Arroyo recruited to give the album its full sound. Together, they channel a number of genres – alt-country, Americana, rock, jam, blues, and Latin, while incorporating the fiddle, organ, mandolin, horns, steel guitar, Latin guitar, great bass lines, and excellent finger picking guitar to create eleven solid arrangements. True to the Wilco/Nickelback fusion, Arroyo's vocals are quite similar to Wilco's Jeff Tweedy – raspy, raw, and great for the genre. The arrangements are mostly upbeat while the lyrics range from sad topics like waiting on porches and drinking thoughts away in corner bars, to optimistic outlooks on love and everyday life. This self-titled album is well-produced and gives the record a full, professional sound. "Georgia Man" has a great arrangement, beginning with an attention-grabbing drum introduction, followed by the incorporation of the Hammond organ, a melodic sound, and sweet lyrics. "Roses in Conflict" is a song about seeing a lost love and has another great arrangement featuring Latin guitar, a driving bass line, and a horn section. Through the striking lyrics and Tweedy-esque vocals of Eddie Arroyo, and the contributions of Cleveland's finest musicians, Remnants of Isadore have created an excellent album you will not soon tire of. Fans of alt-country and great musical collaboration should most certainly pick up "Remnants of Isadore."-Chris & the RadioIndy.com Review Team

"Sunrise Forever" is an impressive country pop album from a talented singer/songwriter in Maurice Mertoli. With this album, Mertoli has crafted ten gems with great arrangements that utilize the piano and harmonica to perfection, and feature nice guitar solos and some great vocal layering.

"Contemporary Country Classics, Volume 3" by Distillery Dave (Country Artist from Ohio(OH))
"Contemporary Country Classics, Volume 3" is the third installment of singer/professor Distillery Dave's covers of classic country songs that bridge the gap between traditional and contemporary country music. Distillery Dave fashions his sound with crooning vocals at once similar to Conway Twitty and George Strait. In addition, well layered arrangements with piano, steel guitar, violin, and great backing female vocals round out the sound. Many of these elements are true to the traditional country form, though Dave adds modern elements with contemporary arrangements and rock-influenced guitar solos. The lyrics these classics offer are timeless, witty and clever, often adding an aura of humor to otherwise sad songs about love and heartbreak, loneliness and drinking. The production quality of "Contemporary Country Classics, Volume 3" sounds great and professional, simultaneously true to the traditional and modern country sounds. Conway Twitty's "Somebody's Needin' Somebody" opens the album and features that subtle interplay of witty humor and sadness, great vocal layering and backing female vocals, and a catchy chorus. "That's the Way Love Goes" is a song about finding and keeping love popularized by Merle Haggard that invokes cliché images of luckiness , horseshoes, rainbows and four-leaf clovers. Overall, "Contemporary Country Classics, Volume 3" is a solid and enjoyable album that takes country classics and intelligently refashions them to combine traditional country music with contemporary country music. Fans of either of these genres interested in witnessing their interplay should give Distillery Dave a listen.-Chris & the RadioIndy.com Review Team
