Charlie Megira – the abtomatic misterzinger mambo chic (CD)

Charlie Megira – the abtomatic misterzinger mambo chic Wow, a long title for such a short CD. This is total surf music, but surf music of a style that I can actually stand. When they try to put lyrics to this type of music, it almost never works, as the song writers for this style of music feel it necessary to place the stupidest lyrics to the music. Much like…

Over The Hill – Looking For A Spark (CD)

“Alcatraz” shows a band in Over The Hill that is extremely eclectic; this results in a track that has never been heard before; the act comes out from the gate establishing their own sound. While there is a down-home rock and roll sound present primarily, hints of punk, straight country, and even hard rock comes forth here. “Waltz” further changes things up, with Over The Hill using a very psychedelic…

The Friday Night Boys – Off the Deep End (CD)

The Boy Bands for the new millennium may not have the horrible facial hair of their predecessors, and tattoos may have scuffed up the squeaky clean image a bit, but the same paint-by-numbers formula of passionless music and over-earnest lyrics remain a hallmark.

Ray Charles and Count Basie – Ray Sings, Basie Swings (CD)

Much of what Ray Charles did in music had happened well before I was born, and the same thing can be said about Count Basie. However, that does not mean that I cannot appreciate the music that was cut on this disc. The creation of this disc has an interesting story behind it, that is for sure. Charles’ vocals were found on a soundboard tape from a thirty-odd year old…
