"The Ancestry" by Jillian LaDage (World Artist from California)

The shimmering Contemporary World/Celtic songs on the album, "The Ancestry," by Jillian LaDage are rich in sound and texture. These melodies are not only interesting and melodic, but offer a mysterious quality to them. LaDage voice is crisp and clean as she sings with intense lyrical content. The song, "Midsummer's Night" is a beautiful blend of instruments that swirl around the dynamic rhythms. Tender and sweet, "The Black Woods," is delicate in sound and filled with mysterious poetic lyrics. A hint of Middle Eastern tonality on, "Keltoi" gives way to an alluring ambiance as each instrument is genuine about its roots and sound. If you're a fan of Contemporary Celtic music that is fresh and inviting, then you will be delighted when you hear the charming songs on, "The Ancestry."

"American Coal" by Stella Parton (Country Artist from Ireland)

"American Coal" is the newest released album from the talented singer, Stella Parton, and is comprised of wonderful Country music. As the title of this album suggests, it is dedicated to the men and women who spend their life working in the coal mining industry. Parton also includes brief narrations within the CD describing the history of coal and the significance it brings to our nation. Her bouncy rendition of "Sixteen Tons" on the song "Coal Medley" is sweet and charming as she sings of the labors of the hard working coal miner. Another song, "Coal Tattoo" generates heartfelt lyrics with tasty Country Rock tonality. "I'm A Coal Mining Man" is pure Country at its best as Parton voice is strong and sincere accompanied by a smooth and flowing beat. If you like good old Country music with a splash of Rock then "American Coal" is an album you will really enjoy, especially if you're a fan of Loretta Lynn or Tammy Wynette.

"On the sunny side" by Vokalt Selskap (Jazz Artist from Norway)

Vokalt Selskap releases the debut album, "On the sunny side" and reveals memorable renditions of superb Jazz songs. This album is based upon the vocal talents of a tight knit Jazz quartet who sing with strong and emotive style and grace. Their voices blend with a brilliant dynamic balance as each song is articulate and expressive. Their performances of timeless standards such as, "Smile," "Autumn Leaves," and "Mack the knife" are hypnotic as their harmonies flow together with sweet and tender expressions. Most songs are a cappella but there are a couple of tunes such as "Accentuate the positive" and "On the sunny side of the street" that are splashed with a charming piano accompaniment. If you're a fan of the group Manhattan Transfer then you will be hooked on the stunning Jazz vocal talents on "On the sunny side."

"Vision Of Dreams" by UnS (Electronic Artist from Pennsylvania)

"Vision Of Dreams" is the newest album brought to us by UnS. It is an album of calm Electronic music that fuses Middle Eastern and Western sounds to create a relaxing collection of songs. For "Desert Rain" we hear a briskly calm beat as well as Middle Eastern musical tones combined with soothing chanting clips. "Just For You" is a more playful song with a kind of electronic funky beat with Arabic vocalization over it. "Africa" is a very calm piece in which African percussion is combined with Western style synth playing. UnS has given us a very eclectic mix of World musical influences and has put them to relatively relaxed electronic beats. If you enjoy World Music or simple Electronica, then sit back and relax to the music of "Vision Of Dreams" as it is an album well worth listening to.

"LIGHT IT UP" by LIBERTY N' JUSTICE (Classic Rock Artist from United Kingdom)

Liberty N' Justice has a new album, and it is called "Light It Up." This album, unlike their previous, is a studio project with the talents of songwriter/lead-singer Justin Murr featuring guest artists on nearly every song, in an album loaded with 80's metal music that have subtle Christian undertones. "Treading On Serpents" is a pulsating heavy rock song with soaring lyrics as Murr implores his listeners to "come walk with me and tread on serpents!" "Best Time You Never Had" is a gritty hard-rock song, with grisly guitar sounds and intensely thumping drums leading the way. For "Greed" we hear how Murr can belt out powerful lyrics and do it well, in this tenacious song about the evils of greed. This album is created for those who love the sound and attitude of metal rock from the 1980's, and for those who can appreciate a Christian message as well. Musically, if you are a fan of Bon Jovi or Def Leppard then this is an album you would be thoroughly pleased with.
