Lonely World – Loosehounds – United Kingdom

Loosehounds, formally the Loosehound Drifters from Shropshire is a distinctly edgy rock band. Compare to Traffic and Crowded House mixed together, the song Lonely World is a strong beat pop song worthy of that comparison. Watch the beat on this one because it pushes you along the path thinking Thomas Dolby and Elvis Costello but that’s just me.

Ann Marita – Alive and Kicking – Norwegian/Swedish/American/Australian singer/songwriter.
Ann-Marita is the next generation’s country rocker. Since the release of her acclaimed self-titled debut album, she has established herself in the country music industry as a force to be reckoned with. Ann Marita soulful and strong rendition of Alive and Kicking is compared to Shania Twain, Kiwi Rocker Sharon O’Neil and Sheryl Crow.

Caitlyn Smith – Follow – The Midwest

Young Caitlyn Smith comes from the Midwest USA and sweet but powerful Jewel like voice. Caitlyn has a Christian background and it shows in her music. Follow is from her second Album Silence, Caitlyn deserves all the success as this displays Caitlyn’s maturity as an artist despite her age.

Casey Diamond – Long Damn Time – Massachusetts USA
Long Damn Time is the sort of song you want to play real loud in your car. Fast paced, it is a great pop song from a young talent. For an indie artist, Casey’s work is (not) surprisingly well brilliantly produced with lots of backend bass and rhythm with some of the best session artists in the business. The quality of the work is obvious.

The album features Peter Gabriel’s Tony Levin on bass and the drummer for David Bowie and Natalie Imbruglia, Mike Levesque. The Grammy Award-winning Will Ackerman joins Casey on guitar and also co-wrote one of the tracks on Casey’s new CD. The album was recorded at Taylor Barefoot studios in Boston, and Will Ackerman’s Imaginary Road Studios, as well as at Q Division with Mike Denneen (click five) and Tom Polce producing one track, and at Hyperion Studios in LA with Bryan Carrigan and Chris Fogel (jagged little pill) mixing another.

So turn it up and hit the road….
