"Winds of Time" by Dr. David Klee (Jazz artist from Iowa)

"Winds of Time" is a new age smooth jazz album highlighted by the feel-good flute styling of Dr. David Klee, which at once reminds the listener of Herbie Mann's jazzy flute styles. Klee's musicianship is superior, and his arrangements are refreshingly pleasant. The album features a good mix of moods with touches of various voices and themes. As a whole, the songs present an upbeat feel while sending you off into a dream world. With the flute at the forefront, the instrumental variety from the backing band gives each song its own identity, each sounding vastly different from the next. Highlights include the opener, "Atlanta City Nights," a very upbeat track with a distinctive flute line that will liven up any room. The title track, "Winds of Time," opens with some dramatic organic sounds and works its way into a mystery-filled dreamscape. "Missing You So Much" features a nice piano progression and has a bit of an Asian feel to it. If you like new age jazz or beautiful flute-led lullabies, you will enjoy this one.

“Fragile” by Bo Ramsey (Rock artist from Iowa (IA))

"Fragile" by Bo Ramsey is an excellent Americana, folk rock CD full of tracks that paint vivid pictures around Bo's excellent songwriting. Bo's deep, raspy vocals nicely stand out in the mix and softly, yet effectively deliver the powerful lyrics on this CD. As you would expect from an artist with Bo's impressive credentials, this CD is totally pro in musicianship and production. The music features Bo's outstanding, yet subtle guitar work. The production nicely layers the instrumentation to provide a rich, deep sound. The tracks that we checked out have an ambience of a smoke-filled room and a man who has been there and done that. "Tell Me Now" features some nice electric guitar licks, and a powerful, visual lyrical message that paints a gloomy picture. "Burn It Down" features an interesting tremolo guitar sound, outstanding songwriting and a passionate vocal performance that effectively delivers the strongly visual lyrics. If you enjoy Americana and/or adult folk rock, and the work of master songwriters, you'll enjoy this CD.

"Pop The Cork" by Static Paradise (Rock Artist from Iowa(IA))

"Pop The Cork" by Static Paradise doesn't mess around. We're talking straight up rock with no funny business. Alright, maybe a litle funny business. It's all about hooks, riffs and lyrical debauchery with this band. The musicianship is superior, with some great guitar work and steady beats. The overall sound of the album is raw. You'll hear some guitars buzzin' from time to time. It's a fun ride, for sure. "Judgement Day" leads things off with heavy guitars and a big Southern attitude. Another notable is "Temptation," moving from a traditional blues riff into an "walk in the clouds" feel with heavenly female backups. "Sacred Cow" wraps things up, taking you to outer space with a drum machine, synths and a sitar/guitar. If you like The Stones on a bender with Sonic Youth, try some Static.
