Rock Music 4 ALL

Captain Beyond is the latest Rock CD put out by the richly group Captain Beyond and they have once again delivered a brilliant collection of tracks. I’m confident Captain Beyond fans, and Rock fans alike will be pleased with this one.

Captain Beyond have been a heavy hitters in the Rock genre for quite some time now and Captain Beyond is an excellent illustration as to why.

One of the nicer things about a CD like this is with this level of talent even if Rock isn’t your favorite genre you still can’t help but appreciate the greatness of the musicians.

Overall Captain Beyond is outstanding from beginning to end. One of those CDs that after a few listens the songs are just etched into your memory. A must have for the Rock fan. Really spectacular from beginning to end.

While this entire CD is really very good the truly standout tunes are track 8 – Thousand Days Of Yesterdays, track 10 – As The Moon Speaks, and track 13 – I Can’t Feel Nothin’.

My Bonus Pick, and the one that got Sore [...as in "Stuck On REpeat"] is track 1 – Dancing Madly Backwards (On A Sea Of Air). It’s a great track!

The exceptionally talented Rock group Counting Crows have released their CD entitled This Desert Life. I am very confident and happy to announce that I believe Counting Crows fans, and Rock fans alike will be pleased with this one. With the release of This Desert Life their artistic excellence is on full display as they have once again delivered a brilliant collection of tracks that could very well be their best work to date.

Refreshingly, this was one of those CDs I was able to just pop in and comfortably listen to from beginning to end. Every track is enjoyable and was pretty easy for me to listen to from start to finish.

If you’re a Counting Crows fan, or just a fan of Rock music this is a CD your collection simply should not be without.

Joe Walsh, the richly talented Rock artist has released him latest album titled But Seriously Folks and Wow! It’s really a good one.

I wish it weren’t the case but, it’s not everyday that I get a CD from an artist that I can just pop in and comfortably listen to from beginning to end. There is usually a song or two that I just can’t force myself to get through. Not at all the case with But Seriously Folks. Every track is enjoyable and was pretty easy for me to listen to from start to finish.

Rock music fans will recognize some of the well known guests that have been assembled to play along with Walsh on several of the tracks. Artists like Bill Szymcyzk and Ed Mashal just to name a couple.

Saga is the latest Rock CD released by the highly group Saga and they have once again delivered a brilliant collection of tracks. I’m confident Saga fans, and Rock fans alike will be pleased with this one.

Refreshingly, this was one of those CDs I was able to just pop in and comfortably listen to from beginning to end. Every track is enjoyable and was pretty easy for me to listen to from start to finish.

Saga has a pleasantly varied, mix of 8 tracks that are very well written and brilliantly performed songs by these clearly superb musicians. Most of the songs display a lot of the kind emotion that makes for a really great listen. Seemingly drawing from what I can only imagine are their own personal experiences. At different points touching on the most real emotions of love, heartbreak, pain, failed relationships and unattainable romance. They’re all here.

If you’re a Saga fan this is a CD your collection flat cannot be without. In fact, this is one of those CDs that you don’t even have to be a fan of lname, or even Rock to know is good. This is just good music. Period.

While this entire album is outstanding some of my favorites are track 2 – Humble Stance, track 4 – Will It Be You?, and track 8 – Tired World

My Bonus Pick, and the one that got Sore [...as in "Stuck On REpeat"] is track 1 – How Long. What a nice track!

It’s a rare day indeed that I get a CD from an artist that I can truthfully say does not have a bad track in the bunch. I’m more than happy to announce that’s exactly what I must say about this one. There simply is NOT a bad one in the bunch. No fillers here at all, with each song standing tall on it’s own.

One of the refreshingly nice things about this CD is the way all of the participating artists seem to be really enjoying themselves. Combine that with the overall presentation and you’ve got one of David Crosby’s most impressive releases ever.
