USER: jules POSTING TYPE: New Releases SHAUNA BURNS RELEASES DESERT TUNE
Shauna Burns developed her delicate vocals and striking piano while growing up in Miami, Florida. Shauna derived inspiration from her mother's love for the piano. Shauna’s songwriting skills prospered and when she went off to college, her music found fans that were enthusiastic and appreciative of the artistry they heard. Every Thought was the Shauna Burns debut release in 2006. The recording received rave reviews followed by successful sales. Her 2007 follow-up EP release entitled Desert Tune is an engaging five song EP that captures the spirit and warmth of Shauna’s hypnotic vocals and temperate piano playing. The tracks are clever while playful, in accord with her nature of being personal and captivating. Shauna and her piano are once again joined by co-producer and drummer James Clark, Ryan Tilby on guitar and bass with Steve Lemmon on guitar. Shauna spent some time residing in the desert before recording the EP and the listener benefits from that journey while listening to the music.
Shauna explains her songwriting philosophy as, "It can start with just a feeling, that seed in your stomach that grows until you cannot ignore it anymore. I feel the need to cultivate and nurture these seeds because seeds can grow into big ideas if we take care. It makes me question: What's next for all of us in this world? What is the universe trying to tell us? I’m listening." Finding inspiration in the world around her is what Shauna Burns is all about and it is no wonder her songs have such feeling and depth.

USER: Jim2nd POSTING TYPE: New Releases If you’ve ever lingered at one of those smokey little jazz clubs until somewhere between last call and closing, you may have heard it. The spontaneous eruptions and unbridled experiments that push jazz musicians off the charts and into their own instincts. To orchestrate such an atmosphere in the controlled setting of a studio is a rare event. When The Prodigal Sons jumped into take one of their debut album, Stranger Things Have Happened, now available on iTunes, even the man who engineered their collaboration across two continents found himself sitting at the console in complete wonder (and it takes a lot to impress producer Harvey Jay Goldberg, whose previous credits include The Rolling Stones, Peter Frampton, and Bruce Springsteen).
With Nigel Hitchcock showcasing the free fall solos that have made him the saxophonist of choice for everyone from James Brown to Pink Floyd; keyboardist and hit songwriter Greg Kane, from Britain’s Platinum-selling duo Hue and Cry, unlocking the borders of pop, jazz, and R&B with all 88 keys; percussionist Danny Gottlieb, flown in from New York to anchor these sessions, playing with the authority of his Grammy-winning work with Pat Metheny; and the double-edged intensity of the Cottle brothers, Richard and Laurence, whose keyboard and bass have rocked both studio and stage for Sting, Seal, and Eric Clapton -- it’s the kind of experience that every musician (and serious listener) dreams about, an experiment in chemistry but without the formula. Check out the exceptionally melodic "Just Say You Love Me" or the tranquil "Peaceful Face" when you're feeling romantic, or the sure-footed "Beautiful Face," "3 Foot Blast," and "Little Miss Grace" when the mood calls for uptempo.

USER: Jim2nd POSTING TYPE: New Releases Familial harmonies and infectious melodies are plentiful on the recently remastered and re-released debut album by the Guthrie Brothers, entitled The Guthrie Brothers, now available at iTunes. With songs and arrangements reminiscent of the Eagles, Poco, Dan Fogelberg and other '70s pop luminaries with a recurring country influence, Wisconsin brothers Jeb and Jock Guthrie have crafted an impressive first release on the independent Next Horizon imprint. From the anthemic "Flesh and Blood," to the sweet homage to their doctor father, "In The Eyes of My Dad," to the pulsing strength of "My Last Mistake" and the haunting beauty of "Rise Again," this collection stays with you.

USER: Jim2nd POSTING TYPE: New Releases If you like jazz, be sure to check out the latest collection from Contempo Trio, Secret of Life, now available at iTunes and Amazon.com. Veterans Danny Gottlieb, Mark Soskin and Chip Jackson are at their best on these tracks, as is guest vocalist Carolyn Leonhart, who lends her silky smooth sound to two excellent tracks, including the sultry and sensual "All Night Long" and the amiable James Taylor cover of "Secret of Life."

Anyway else out there as impressed with the new release Two Lights from Five for Fighting? The Riddle is a wonderful first single and I see it's been getting some play on Radio Oasis. Very cool! Posted August 7, 2006 2:22 PM | | |
