"In the Light of Love" by Amy Camie (Instrumental Artist from Missouri)

The beautiful New Age/Spiritual songs on CD, "In the Light of Love," by Amy Camie let the listener ease into a sense of reflection and total relaxation. Camie, who is a superb harpist, lets her melodies put to rest the stresses of the day so one can take it easy and loosen up. Each song flows into one another with a sweet and thought provoking charm. The first track, "Morning Star," is delicate and dreamy as the harp plays with tender and soft sincerity. "Morning Light," makes you feel energized as the harp performs the rich melody with bright and magical tonality. "Afterglow," is another song that seeps subtly into your soul as the harp wisps through the melody with emotive precision. If your day has been overwhelming and stressful then the wonderful healing album, "In the Light of Love," is just what you need to unwind and comfort your mind and body.

RadioIndy is pleased to present National **** Groovin' Association with a GrIndie Award for the CD "N.A.G.A.(National **** Groovin' Association) "

Jam-packed with high energy Rock/Funk, National **** Groovin' Association and their self-titled CD, "N.A.G.A. (National **** Groovin' Association)," makes its mark with non-stop heavy metal madness. This trio stirs the gruff and tough realms of hard core rock with driving power chords and building beats. Driven by razor-sharp guitar, "Belief" and "Beast" emulate the maximum fury of classic heavy metal while impressing with its tight cohesiveness. A catchy bass riff and funky guitar gets the groove going on "Can't Go," with its flashback to the days of the '70's. Displaying their diversity, the ballad "Lost Lyons" shows this trio can dish out a softer side with a sweet piano solo and laid-back guitar riffs. Not only does this band rock, but they definitely have a sense of humor, as evidenced in the short, humorous song that promotes their website, "www.nassgass.com." If you're looking for a full-throttle, maxed-out metal sound, then "N.A.G.A. (National **** Groovin' Association)," is a must-have addition to your heavy metal collection.

RadioIndy is pleased to present Ballistic Edna with a GrIndie Award for the CD "The Jungle Or The Stars "

RadioIndy is pleased to present Ballistic Edna with a GrIndie Award for the CD "The Jungle Or The Stars "

Returning with "The Jungle or the Stars," an 11-song collection of smart and catchy, guitar-driven alternative pop/rock, the Chicago-based quartet, Ballistic Edna, delivers another CD that succeeds as both a follow-up and as a stand-alone album. "What Was That" opens the album with a power-chord manifesto that features a big, Bangles-like chorus as their two female singers blend voices with an ease that's extremely precise. Also recalling The Bangles, "Hallowed Ground" is a terrific rocker with a dead-on hook, while "Woman" thunders like a long-lost Heart out-take. Elsewhere, "Soulseeker" finds the band playing with Middle Eastern modalities without losing their fundamental rock ethos; experimentation not unlike the early-period of the group REM. Album closer, "Camera" in fact, takes the experimentation a step further, as the band explores an ambient mood that perhaps, suggests a new direction for the band. Kick back and enjoy their new CD, "The Jungle or the Stars" for straight-up, uncomplicated – Heartland-style Rock, as Ballistic Edna delivers the goods.

RadioIndy is pleased to present Robert R. Patterson with a GrIndie Award for the CD "Never Said Good Bye "

RadioIndy is pleased to present Robert R. Patterson with a GrIndie Award for the CD "Never Said Good Bye "

Robert R. Patterson's second CD, "Never Said Good Bye" finds the guitarist / singer-songwriter furthering an exploration of his unique songcraft in ways as original and inventive as they are satisfying. A virtuoso on guitar, Patterson turns his acoustic and electric guitars loose over 12 songs that delve into classical, folk, and blues influences which, nevertheless, blend seamlessly into a whole of potent musicality. Where the song "Five Dollar Mohawk" is a blues-rock workout with slashing slide licks, the hauntingly beautiful "Smile Little One" features acoustic picking as delicate as it is pristine. "Little Spanish Evening," an acoustic solo instrumental, is a veritable wordless lullaby, while the CD opener and titled track, "Never Said Good Bye" is an oddly effective composition that's both exotic and eccentric. Much of the album finds Patterson in elemental mode, his lone guitar and rich voice breathing life into songs of loss and redemption, but on the ballad, "Life," a deep and sonorous cello accompaniment raises the performance to solemnity. As second releases go, Robert R Patterson's "Never Said Good Bye" CD is a fine sophomore album, building on the echoes of his first, while pointing forward with his evolving potential.
