Chrisopher Blue Goes Home
PR reports: If the axiom, "What doesn't kill you only makes you stronger," has any merit, it certainly applies to singer/songwriter Chrisopher Blue and his evidentiary full-length, ROOM TONES, due April 17 on Sarathan Records. A subdued lullaby to a convoluted past, the album's 12 tracks were forged from Blue's tumultuous life and showcases a musician who has finally found peace. This newfound state was previewed on a five-song self-titled EP released Sept. 26 via Sarathan Records and digitally on iTunes.

"It's almost as if these songs were written for where I am now," says Blue of his rooted sound. "Psychologically I was in a different place than I was physically. I'm home today in my heart and my head, and the songs reflect that process. They're the stories of how I got home."[see full story for more]- Click Here for the Full Story

Today's Reviews
....MorleyView: A Vulgar Display Of Power Pt 2
This week we feature the 2nd part of Morley's extensive interview with Chris A. author of 'A Vulgar Display of Power: Courage and Carnage At The Alrosa Villa ', a book about the murder of Dimebag, and the lives of Jeffrey "Mayhem" Thompson, Erin Halk and Nathan Bray who each lost their lives trying to aid Dimebag and protect the lives of others there.- Read the full A Vulgar Display Of Power Pt 2 MorleyView
 
....Isobel Campbell - Milk White Sheets
Campbell never rocks out; instead, she mostly floats vocals over gently finger-picked acoustic guitar and mournful cello. All the while this woman's wisp of a voice is perfectly pitched, yet somehow still authoritative. (4 stars) - Read the full Isobel Campbell - Milk White Sheets review
 
....David Martin - Something in Your Eyes
For singer � songwriter David Martin it's all about the song and his song are borne of his experiences in life. His album Something in Your Eyes is an album of 10 original songs tells of profound live and deep devotion for someone special.- Read the full David Martin - Something in Your Eyes review
 
....Psyopus - Our Puzzling Encounters Considered
While this spastic quintet is able to play sophisticated music that clearly requires talent, the ongoing blur of random instruments and vocals makes their second album, "Our Puzzling Encounters Considered," an annoying barrage of directionless sound. - Read the full Psyopus - Our Puzzling Encounters Considered review
