Amos Lee is amazing. I could potentially just end the conversation right here and not say much more. Amos Lee has been doing his thing for years and probably is the singer/songwriter of a song that you are familiar with or recognize. He’s got a distinct voice – raspy, raw, authentic and full of emotion. [...]

I struggled a bit today about who to post about. Should I discuss the Super Bowl? Should I discuss how Madonna could have fallen off her platform or actually sung something? Nah… wasn’t feeling too inspired. My goal with this blog is to get at least one post a day, but there may be times [...]

This selection might seem a bit silly and out of the blue, but I was certainly impressed with this release by Mark Ballas. You may recognize the name (and face) from Dancing with the Stars. But in addition to dancing up a storm with has-beens on ABC’s Dancing with the Stars, he is also a [...]
Hunter Hayes – Hunter Hayes

I wish I could recall how I came across the music of Hunter Hayes. I think it was the Footloose (remake) soundtrack in which he does a duet of “Almost Paradise” with Nickelodeon star, Victoria Justice. My first thought was that the lead singer of Rascal Flatts was on the Footloose soundtrack, but I loved it. Funny [...]
Emily West – I Hate You I Love You

My discovery and subsequent love for Emily West came after seeing her perform on Celebrity Apprentice for Holly Robinson Peete’s team. She came in with her throwback look and the team had to reinvent her look for a kick off event. Cyndi Lauper got her put together and stripped her of some of her quirky [...]

I can’t believe I haven’t posted anything about Justin Nozuka yet. I only wish there was more awareness about this amazingly talented singer in the States. He seems to be doing this thing like crazy up in Canada. This album “You I Wind Land and Sea” is the second album release by Justin Nozuka. The [...]

Can I just say that I miss Myspace? I know it is still there, but I can’t recall ever remembering to go there or if I even still have an account. Before Facebook, I was addicted to Myspace – not for the social aspect, but for the music. There were so many opportunities for me [...]
Kellie Pickler – 100 Proof

It has been awhile since Kellie Pickler released new music. From those days on Idol when the judges were less than kind and the public somewhat were the same. Soon after her release from the show, she was signed to a label, released “Red High Heels” and rode the wave of success into Nashville and [...]
Nathan Angelo – Follow Your Heart

I wish I could remember the story of how I found Nathan Angelo. Whatever the story might be, I am so glad that I came across his music because it has become a staple in my rotation of go-to discs. Last year, I entered a little Facebook contest in which I only had to share [...]
