"I Love Myself When I Am Laughing" by Lenora Zenzalai Helm & The Zenzalai Project (Jazz Artist from North Carolina)

2011-04-23T17:52:00.001-07:00

Lenora Zenzalai Helm releases a spectacular Jazz single, "I Love Myself When I'm Laughing." Helm, who is a highly talented vocalist, composer, lyricist, arranger, and teacher, based this single on the writings of Zola Neale Hurston. This inspiration creates a song that is soft and charming as Helm's silky voice sings the poetic lyrics with a polished style and grace. She projects her strong vocals with expressive qualities that gently float above the relaxed instrumentation. You will find the lyrics will be etched in your mind as they speak of Hurston describing a photo with an amusing flair. This song will have you wanting to hear more from this fabulous Jazz artist. If you like smooth Jazz that moves with sophisticated style, then you will enjoy the single, "I Love Myself When I'm Laughing."

"Courage" by Si Kahn (Acoustic Artist from North Carolina)

2010-09-12T07:18:00.001-07:00

The wonderful Folk CD, "Courage," by singer/songwriter Si Kahn is a collection of insightful acoustic songs that will move your heart and soul. Kahn spins a marvelous set of 16 tracks as he shares his political point of views with polished style and versatility. His voice is sincere while his narratives have heartfelt values. He adds flavors of Celtic persuasion to songs such as, "Molly Maguire" and "Ireland of My Dreams." The fun and lively song, "On This Old Farm," beams with Country style as the melodic lyrics gives an in depth look into the life of a farmer and also features some great harmonies. Listen, as the earnest lyrics on "Hunter," interacts with the banjo that gently plucks away. You will like the songs on the Folk album, "Courage," as they are performed with expressive lyrics, finely tuned vocals, and acoustic instrumentation.

RadioIndy is pleased to present Paul T. with a GrIndie Award for the CD "The Grace of God"

2010-01-20T18:06:00.001-08:00

RadioIndy is pleased to present Paul T. with a GrIndie Award for the CD "The Grace of God"

"The Grace of God" by Paul T. puts a new and palatable spin on spiritual music. Wrapping the traditional message of Christianity in the uncommonly delightful sounds of African/world compositions, Paul brings something fresh to fans of gospel and contemporary Christian music. Paul's smooth timbre creates vocal performances that leave lasting emotional impressions. The riveting "Don't Listen" takes on the sounds of more conventional contemporary Christian music, consummated by heavenly female chorus background vocals. "Come On" is representative of the overall upbeat, energetic vibe of the record. Moreover, "Woza[come]" takes on a very soulful edge, and illuminates Paul's ability to craft poignant poetic lyrics. Fans of spiritual and world tunes will find enlightenment in this heartfelt collection.

RadioIndy is pleased to present Rodney Wayne King &The Nite Kitchen with a GrIndie Award for the CD "Another Dirty Deal "

2010-01-19T15:59:00.001-08:00

RadioIndy is pleased to present Rodney Wayne King &The Nite Kitchen with a GrIndie Award for the CD "Another Dirty Deal "

Capturing the essence of Country and Blues, Rodney Wayne King's excellent CD, "Another Dirty Deal," instantly charms the listener with eleven well-crafted songs. The energetic opener, "Outlaw on the Run," will grab the listener's attention right from the start with its gruff and tough vocals, razor sharp guitar, and solid beat. Showing country blues at it best, "The Richest One," with its slow and steady tempo, has an easy-flowing piano accompaniment and stirs up some thoughtful lyrics with memorable and warm vocals. Down and dirty blues is what "Dealing With the Devil" is all about with guitar and harmonica riffs complementing the powerful, driving vocals. Country flavor abounds in "Dusty" with an outstanding steel guitar and also offers some great harmony on the chorus. The compilations on this disc confidently alternate a mixture of a good old vibrant and energetic country feeling to a slow and steady blues vibe, which gives this album a nice texture. Don't miss a chance to hear the talented treasures of country and blues on the Rodney Wayne King's great new release, "Another Dirty Deal."

RadioIndy is pleased to present Smoochy Smith with a GrIndie Award for the CD "Originals By Smoochy "

2010-01-19T15:48:00.001-08:00

RadioIndy is pleased to present Smoochy Smith with a GrIndie Award for the CD "Originals By Smoochy "

"Originals By Smoochy," by the highly talented rockabilly piano player Smoochy Smith, is a charming and energetic collection of piano driven blues/country tunes. The instrumentation presented by Smoochy Smith on this CD is nothing short of phenomenal. His keen sense for groovy piano blues leads infuse each of these tunes with unforgettable energy. Moreover, Smoochy Smith's skillful and heart-felt lyrics conjure visceral emotional responses. Highlights include the mid-tempo, soulful love ballad "Soul Mate of My Life." The danceable "Smoochy's Boogie" demonstrates why this CD receives such musical acclaim with its polished big-band sound. Additionally, the patriotic "Stand Up for America" deserves mention for its beautifully assembled vocal arrangements. Fans of passionate rockabilly will find countless evenings of listening pleasure with Smoochy Smith's "Originals By Smoochy."

RadioIndy is pleased to present Michael W. Arrington with a GrIndie Award for the CD "Michael Arrington, Vocal and Saxaphone "

2010-01-18T19:20:00.001-08:00

RadioIndy is pleased to present Michael W. Arrington with a GrIndie Award for the CD "Michael Arrington, Vocal and Saxaphone "

Whereas Michael Arrington's outstanding debut CD was a straight-up country effort showcasing the refined singer's well-crafted songs and the classic guitar-piano-steel accessories of the album's country roots, on "Michael Arrington, Vocal & Saxaphone" Arrington and his crack Nashville sidemen deliver a more diverse collection of mainly traditional songs that more than ably cover the rest of Nashville's grand legacy. With Arrington stepping back from the mic to concentrate on his ample sax talents, this 10-song CD of mostly instrumental covers recalls no less a figure than Arrington's childhood inspiration, the renowned saxophonist and bandleader Boots Randolph. With excellent renditions of such traditional nuggets as "Rolling in My Sweet Baby's Arms," and "Rocky Top," and the jazz ambience of "Misty," "Michael Arrington, Vocal & Saxaphone" has a throwback vibe that verily channels a bygone era. In that same vein, Arrington and band tackle standards such as "Summertime" and "Tennessee Waltz" with the kind of detail and precision one would expect from seasoned vets, while a vocal take of Merle Haggard's "Big City" has all the bounce and swing of the original. Michael Arrington and his fine "Michael Arrington, Vocal & Saxaphone" CD is testament to the depths of talent this man has to offer.

RadioIndy is pleased to present Michael W. Arrington with a GrIndie Award for the CD "Something Old, Something Blue "

2010-01-18T19:15:00.000-08:00

RadioIndy is pleased to present Michael W. Arrington with a GrIndie Award for the CD "Something Old, Something Blue "

Michael Arrington's relaxed tenor voice proves the perfect vehicle for a terrific 10-song collection of traditional country on his debut CD, "Something Old, Something Blue." Actually featuring Loretta Lynn's outstanding backing band, the album swells on polished and dynamic arrangements which, combined with Arrington's often George Jones-like vocals, turn hook-filled, engaging songs like CD-opener, "Austin," or the small-town narrative, "Jack Jolly" into instant classics. The rocking "Where You Been All Night," with Arrington's trademark sax trading riffs with a rollicking honky tonk piano, fires on all pistons, while the Hank Williams-inspired "Hank's Grave" showcases the kind of pedal steel playing to make a grown man weep. Coming from a deep musical family (with roots that reach to the Grand Ol' Opry) Arrington's brand of tradition-steeped country on "Something Old, Something Blue" (particularly comparable to Tom T. Hall) is striking in its purity and honesty on a CD sure to resonate with any and all, traditional country music fans.

RadioIndy is pleased to present Paypa Boy with a GrIndie Award for the CD "Paypa Workz "

2010-01-18T19:08:00.001-08:00

RadioIndy is pleased to present Paypa Boy with a GrIndie Award for the CD "Paypa Workz "

"Paypa Workz" by Paypa Boy is a high-energy, head-bobbing Hip-Hop/Rap collection fit for the mainstream audience. Distinguished by gripping musical hooks, chest-throbbing bass lines, and catchy lyricism, this CD displays musical skill and production found among the industry's most seasoned players. "Got Work" kicks this record off with the mesmerizing instrumentation and rhymes that define every song. "Paypa Boy" emanates a more relaxed vibe and tempo, while introducing a fitting female-led chorus. Moreover, "Cold Out Here" adopts a theme of street-life, set to the backdrop of a groovy and unforgettable lead melody. All in all, "Paypa Workz" displays musical creativity, highly refined lyricism, and profession production that will compel any fan of hard-hitting Hip-Hop/Rap to select the stereo's "repeat" option.

RadioIndy is pleased to present The Leftovers with a GrIndie Award for the CD "Reheat and Serve "

2010-01-18T18:42:00.001-08:00

RadioIndy is pleased to present The Leftovers with a GrIndie Award for the CD "Reheat and Serve "

Classic power-trio rock driven by the kind of fiery and blistering guitar flourishes that defines the genre is the order of the day on The Leftovers fine new CD, "Reheat and Serve." Alternately flashing the kind of licks a fan of Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton, or Stevie Ray Vaughan would drool over, veteran rocker D. Logan Foster leads a 3-piece band through a 9-song workout of blues fire and rock dynamics with drama and flair. With wife Cassandra Roxanne (Bass) and Bennie Bee (drums) proving a rock-solid and inventive rhythm section, classic blues rock gets a makeover on the Santana-inflected "Simple Woman" while the Southern chug of "Your Eyes Give You Away" are right out of the Lynyrd Skynyrd playbook. CD-opener, "Let's Do It Again" surges with a Hendrix-like fury as Foster's slashing chops cuts through the song like lightning bolts. But in the best of power-trio traditions (e.g., Cream, Hendrix Experience, Blue Cheer), sheer sonic power is often tempered in service of the song, as on the closer, "Mississippi Blues," a blues shuffle that features Foster's earthy and down-home vocals to best effect. Classic by design and execution, The Leftovers CD, "Reheat and Serve" is anything but warmed-over: instead, it's a vibrant and charged tasting of blues-rock that will always have a place on the classic rock menu.

RadioIndy is pleased to present Tom Lucas with a GrIndie Award for the CD "Red Letter Day "

2010-01-18T18:35:00.001-08:00

RadioIndy is pleased to present Tom Lucas with a GrIndie Award for the CD "Red Letter Day "

Originally released in 1976, "Red Letter Day" by Tom Lucas is a CD packed with the truest form of American Rock. Lucas' lyrics deal with the never-ending political issues of our time and don't hold back on his sentiments. Close your eyes and listen to Lucas' vocals as they are pure, crisp, and simple, whereas you might even think you are hearing Neil Young. "Babylon Rising" is piano-driven with an energetic Blues/Rock tonality. The original album contained nine tracks, but the addition of a new track, "Stars In The Night," gives the listeners a taste of nice harmonies and moving beats. The ballad-like song, "Days Numbered," displays emotive vocals and laid-back piano interplay. The entire collection of music on this album is straightforward and well-produced. Fans of Bob Dylan or Neil Young will most certainly want to add Tom Lucas' "Red Letter Day" to their collection of politically-charged albums.

"The King of Christmas Crunk" by Robby the Elf (Hip-Hop Artist from South Carolina(SC))

2009-10-06T19:39:00.001-07:00

Catch the Holiday spirit as Robby the Elf spins the genres of Hip-Hop/Rap on his humorous album, "The King of Christmas Crunk." These witty arrangements set the mood for holiday cheer with entertaining lyrics and grooves of Hip-Hop beats. Robby the Elf proves his vocals abilities are smooth, clean, and crisp as he easily moves with an easy flowing rhyme and at times seems very reminiscent of Will Smith. Sleigh bells meld with the suave beat on the amusing song "Magic From Elves." "Almost Twas the Nite," a humorous spin-off of the traditional classic, is mysterious in tonality and offers up some creative lyrics and sound effects. Get out your pom-poms and get your cheerleading game voice on as you listen to the clever chant of "Go Elverines, Hey!" If you're looking for something a little bit different to add to your Christmas CD collection, then "The King of Christmas Crunk" might just be the newest holiday album for you.

"Sythetic Heart" by X-Sonic (Electronic Artist from Tennessee(TN))

2009-09-22T15:29:00.001-07:00

"Synthetic Heart" by X-Sonic is refreshing wave of 80's synthpop meets modern day electronica. The production of each track is progressive and provides solid and extremely danceable beats. The melodies coupled with the lyrics keep the listener in a kaleidoscope of romance, escape, and a night out all at once. This CD is definitely one that has the potential of being pumped in downtown nightclubs to get everyone out on the dancefloor. "Crazy Over You", the opening track really sets the tone of creativity and originality with a familiarity and a classic feel that can be heard throughout this record. Toward the end, "Fade to Blue" cools it down with a smooth ballad sound while still keeping the synthetic effects strong. Older fans of Dead or Alive as well as younger fans of Justice can thoroughly enjoy this up and coming band out of Tennessee.

2009-08-29T19:04:00.001-07:00

RadioIndy is pleased to present Errol and Kaye Leslie with a GrIndie Award for the CD "New Life"

"New Life" is the third gospel reggae release from impressive writer/composer duo Errol and Kaye Leslie. Originally from Jamaica, but currently taking up residence in Florida, Errol and Kaye smoothly incorporate Caribbean reggae rhythms into their gospel songs for their music ministries. The result is twelve upbeat and rhythmic tracks about the importance of Jesus in our day to day existence and the necessity of putting one's life into God's hands. Errol and Kaye, combined with the backing vocalists, create some great vocal dynamics on this album. Errol has a great booming bass reggae vocal, and Kaye a strong alto more lenient to the gospel end of the sound. "New Life" features great production quality. It sounds very clean and makes you feel as though you are in a Caribbean tent revival. "Caribbean Gospel Medley" defines Caribbean gospel perfectly with an attention-getting beat, great vocal layering, and lyrics about redemption. The title track, "New Life," is an Elvis-esque southern gospel track with great booming doo-wop vocals from Errol, more great vocal layering, and a classic arrangement. Overall, "New Life" is an accomplishment, as it combines the fun, upbeat sounds of the Caribbean with serious and heartfelt gospel lyrics. If the fusion of reggae with gospel appeals to you, I strongly recommend that you check out Errol and Kaye Leslie.

RadioIndy is pleased to present Lee Michaels with a GrIndie Award for the CD "My Life"

Pianist Lee Michaels has recently released his debut CD "My Life" which blends the soul of Motown with a touch of classic rock. Hailing from New Jersey you would expect to hear something in the manner of rockers Bruce Springsteen or Bon Jovi. However, Michaels serenades the listener with songs like "The Rain Will See Us Through" which is extremely influenced by the early sounds of Elton John. Michaels belts out some R&B with the song "Believe" with a nice balance between the electric piano and vocals. His vocals attain a quality reminiscent of the soul legend The Miracles while keeping his Barry Manilow piano ballads high in the mix. If you dig Sir Elton, you will dig "My Life" as it is a treasure of pop music embedded with artistic piano arrangements.

"Oceans & Islands" by Dave Spinner (Jazz Artist from New York(NY))

2009-07-06T21:05:00.001-07:00

Whether it is a lush contemporary jazz setting or a vocal tune that could've come right out of the classic Brazilian songbook, Dave Spinner takes the listener on an eye-opening trip through various jazz forms on his fine debut CD, "Oceans & Islands." Whatever the style, Spinner proves he's more than adept at navigating jazz' many tributaries on this 7-track collection. Beginning with "Bouncin'," Spinner kicks things off with a radio-ready R&B influenced contemporary jazz tune, followed by "Dinji", a sun-drenched take on Brazilian vocal jazz. But before the album gets too laid-back, Spinner shifts gears with "Lobster Montuno," a spirited and rhythmically complex Latin jazz jam, featuring a Caribbean horn arrangement as authentic as it is assured. Elsewhere, Spinner's keyboard mastery comes to the forefront with exploring and dynamic solos that breathe new life into the traditional piano-trio style "Sweet & Lovely," or raises the roof, as on the swinging Hammond organ workout, "In Your Pocket." Whatever the style, Dave Spinner's excellent CD, "Oceans & Islands" is an exemplary showcase of jazz vocabulary from a bandleader as musically insightful as he is astute.

"Down the Mountain" by Mark Lennon (Rock Artist from Los Angeles, California(CA))

2009-07-01T18:51:00.001-07:00

Mark Lennon's third CD, "Down the Mountain," finds the terrific LA-based singer-songwriter continuing his musical journey down that Americana trail blazed by the likes of legends such as Ryan Adams, Gene Clark, and Gram Parsons. And like those notable forerunners, Lennon's ease and naturalness with the country-tinged rock style is as pure as it is noteworthy. With vocal inflections that sound clear-as-mountain-stream authentic, Lennon's songs of love's travails and the struggle to find meaning in mixed-up times, really strike home on tunes such as "What I Could Be With You," "Broken," and the wonderful "My Hometown," a track that recalls American Beauty-era Grateful Dead. As accessible and tuneful as all the songs are, though, Lennon's duet with Simone Stevens on "Wildside" has a fragile beauty that goes beyond questions of style or genre, invoking instead the notion that great music knows no such boundaries. With a multi-textured Americana / Country Rock ensemble providing the perfect backdrop for "Down the Mountain," Mark Lennon's latest CD is a triumph of style and delivery.

In a creative production venture. the incorporation of the using the music from the band Cutting Crew and their song (I Just) "Died In your Arms Tonight" as an intro to "So Additive" is innovative as the beat of this song keeps going as a lyrical Rap is heard above the looped strings which are predominant to this song. You will want to take a listen to the CD "The Black House" especially if you like the musical styles of Jay Z or Lil' Wayne.

The extremely funky "My Biz" is reminiscent of old-school grooves with a modern, contemporary flair. Jahmay covers many styles with this album and is comfortable and at home in each one. "Ready 2 Serve U" is an impressive release that will appeal to the fans of Urban/R&B, Soul, and Pop music.

RadioIndy is pleased to present David Cahalan with a GrIndie Award for the CD "Dedicated"

With the fittingly titled "Dedicated," David Cahalan pays tribute to the music of The Carpenters, for whom he is a former background singer. He modernizes each tune with his melodic, individual style, breathing new life into the original while making it his own. He opens the set with the familiar "Hurting Each Other," updating the standard tune with his modern style of pop. He gives the classic "Close To You" a contemporary flair with a bright, bouncing groove, and smooth lead and background vocals. His version of "For All We Know" is a touching ballad, featuring soulful vocals by Cahalan and a shimmering soprano sax melody. His rendition of "Superstar" features a great horn section and a brilliant string arrangement. "Bless the Beasts and the Children" is a wonderful duet, with Cahalan and his female counterpart in fine form. With "Dedicated," David Cahalan pays a suitable and proper tribute to truly great songs that were sung by Karen Carpenter. This is surely an album that all Carpenters' fans will appreciate.

"Isolate the Cue" by Black Dog Syndrome (Rock Artist from North Carolina(NC))

2009-05-10T20:09:00.001-07:00

Like playing a long-misplaced album by Americana / Roots Rock stalwarts, NRBQ, Black Dog Syndrome's debut CD, "Isolate the Cue" is at once both familiar and bracingly new. Over the course of 12 original tracks "Isolate the Cue" explores the myriad of secluded and obscure estuaries that make up the best of Americana; that is, the kind of smart and provocative elements of rock, R&B, blues, jazz, and other Southern influences that fires the imagination. In the biting sax tone of lead track "Hungry Dog," the incendiary guitar of "Driving With Her Knees," and the imagery-rich lyrics of "Steps of Hell," a listener hears the components that made artists like The Bottle Rockets, B-52's, Firewater and Southern Culture on the Skids so original and compelling. Eleven of the songs feature Kirk Ridge's corrosive vocals to deliver taut and acerbic tales from America's back roads, while co-lead vocalist Kimmie Wilson takes the helm on the engaging "Wounded," offering up the kind of sing-along melodicism of Tom Petty's finest work. Co-produced by legendary engineer Mitch Easter, Black Dog Syndrome's "Isolate the Cue" is that kind of intriguing debut CD that's sure to satisfy.
