Songs Of Hope And Comfort

Blues Masters at the Crossroads. A global audience returns year-after-year to worship the blues at Blue Heaven Studios in Salina, Kansas. For the first time Analogue Productions presenting six sets recorded live in 2014 at Blues Masters at the Crossroads October 17-18. And it's the first live blues concert recorded entirely in Direct Stream Digital. Includes the sets by Rip Lee Pryor, Moreland & Arbuckle, Joe Beard+Lazy Lester, George Brock, Marquise Knox and his band, Sonny Green, and none-other than the soul-blues belter Mighty Sam McClain.

The songs in this solo piano CD revolve around the sea, from its deepest depths to the shores, rivers and tributaries that nourish it. In the music you will hear the mysteries of emotion, the dreamy echoes of romance, and the reverence of the soul. Composed and recorded by Greg Maroney at Harmony Grove Studio on a 9 foot Steinway Concert Grand piano. We hope you find solace, comfort and love in these songs.

The album Star Of Spring by Anna Greta is a captivating musical journey that showcases the artist's exceptional talent and unique style. Released by Act, this album features a collection of beautifully crafted songs that blend elements of jazz, folk, and pop.

In January 2007 the New York Times took the bold step of printing an abridged lyric of a then-unreleased song as an “opinion editorial” piece. It was Randy Newman’s A Few Words In Defense Of Our Country (sic) and it became an internet sensation, with Newman’s caustic wit gaining an unlikely but appreciative audience. It set the scene for Newman’s first song-based record since 1999’s Bad Love. Harps & Angels is a tour de force of intellect and musicality. It has moments of hilarity (A Piece Of The Pie’s reference to Jackson Browne’s social conscience) that, like the most effective humour, deal with serious issues. Newman has never shied from confronting such matters, dealing with American identity, senile memory loss and foreign affairs with humour and a conversational ease, putting lesser songwriters to shame. A brace of ballads, Losing You and Feels Like Home, are tender moments reminding us of Newman’s way with bittersweet matters.

KC Nwokoye's new album "Celebrate" is a stunning fusion of Jazz-Swing and Soul genre reminiscent of Artists like Gregory Porter, Marvin Gaye, Nat King Cole, Sting and Sade. The record encapsulates all of life's great moments making us laugh with joy and dance with freedom. It's a dynamic bubble of energy, groove and romance. A euphoric demonstration of KC's velvety vocals combined with his unique style of composition in beautifully blending string, brass, Latin and percussion instruments in songs like “Send Down The Rain” and “True”. This record is truly the gift of spring which brings sweetness to summer, then an explosive wave of hope in autumn with songs like “Let Me Love You” and “Music” and finishes with plenty of love and comfort in winter with songs like “Somebody Loves You and “Celebrate”.
