RadioIndy is pleased to present The Romeo Flynns with a GrIndie Award for the CD "Pictures Of You"

RadioIndy is pleased to present The Romeo Flynns with a GrIndie Award for the CD "Pictures Of You"

"Pictures Of You" is a brit rock influenced Detroit rock album brought to you by authentic Motor City rockers The Romeo Flynns. The combination of these styles is nothing less than electric. The sound is, of course, heavily guitar driven, with thick beats, big choruses and an arena mentality. This album is a definite party package, with 13 solid speaker pumping tracks - frills and overproduction not included. There is also a subtle element of 50's rebel rock present, which supports an already angst-filled sound. The album is well produced, sounds great, and really lends itself to the "loudness" of the sound. The title track "Pictures Of You" gets the album going with a bang and really defines the Brit/Detroit rock fusion. "Gonna Feel Alright" features that 50's element and will absolutely rock your world with a huge chorus and additional support from horns, keys and organ. "Just Fade Away" is another highlight, with a quirky 80's guitar riff and a strong melodic chorus that will most certainly drive the ladies wild. If you like Detroit Rock, Brit Rock and the huge sound that comes with it, give "Pictures Of You" a spin. You won't be disappointed.

RadioIndy is pleased to present Distillery Dave with a GrIndie Award for the CD "Contemporary Country Classics, Volume 3"

RadioIndy is pleased to present Distillery Dave with a GrIndie Award for the CD "Contemporary Country Classics, Volume 3"

"Contemporary Country Classics, Volume 3" is the third installment of singer/professor Distillery Dave's covers of classic country songs that bridge the gap between traditional and contemporary country music. Distillery Dave fashions his sound with crooning vocals at once similar to Conway Twitty and George Strait. In addition, well layered arrangements with piano, steel guitar, violin, and great backing female vocals round out the sound. Many of these elements are true to the traditional country form, though Dave adds modern elements with contemporary arrangements and rock-influenced guitar solos. The lyrics these classics offer are timeless, witty and clever, often adding an aura of humor to otherwise sad songs about love and heartbreak, loneliness and drinking. The production quality of "Contemporary Country Classics, Volume 3" sounds great and professional, simultaneously true to the traditional and modern country sounds. Conway Twitty's "Somebody's Needin' Somebody" opens the album and features that subtle interplay of witty humor and sadness, great vocal layering and backing female vocals, and a catchy chorus. "That's the Way Love Goes" is a song about finding and keeping love popularized by Merle Haggard that invokes cliché images of luckiness , horseshoes, rainbows and four-leaf clovers. Overall, "Contemporary Country Classics, Volume 3" is a solid and enjoyable album that takes country classics and intelligently refashions them to combine traditional country music with contemporary country music. Fans of either of these genres interested in witnessing their interplay should give Distillery Dave a listen.

RadioIndy is pleased to present Krayz E' with a GrIndie Award for the CD "Welcome 2 Kansas"

RadioIndy is pleased to present Krayz E' with a GrIndie Award for the CD "Welcome 2 Kansas"

"Welcome 2 Kansas" by Krayz E' is a unique hip-hop album put together by an innovative artist. The sound is a mix of new and old and bumps from beginning to end. There is a definite carefree mentality present in the concept, but don't be fooled, Krazy means business. He laces his smooth delivery around well produced and well layered arrangements with ease. This is a seriously crafted album with a positive feel. The beats will vibrate your insides, the bass lines groove, and the album sounds fantastic - with 17 tracks to boot. Highlights are "Kansas," reeling you in right off the bat with a huge beat and giving you your first taste of what to expect through the rest of the journey. "Hatin' On Me" features a bubbly, groovy bass line, lamenting lyrics and a nice vocal performance. "Do What I Do" is simpler in nature, but hits you with a classic throwback beat, that might bring back a few memories. If you enjoy classic hip hop with modern innovations and an upbeat sensibility, you'll like this one.

RadioIndy is pleased to present T Stuckey with a GrIndie Award for the CD "Cocky (Da Original 1)"

RadioIndy is pleased to present T Stuckey with a GrIndie Award for the CD "Cocky (Da Original 1)"

"Cocky (Da Original 1)" is a three-track hip-hop/party EP from Detroit's own T Stuckey. This youngster comes at you with a ton of muscle. His vocals are full of energy and jump out of the speakers at you. The production behind these tracks is equally impressive, and they are club ready and flat out thump. The arrangements are diverse, well-layered and full. The choice in overall sound also compliments T Stuckey's style very well. Leading off is "I'm Cocky," a light but powerful introduction to the T Stuckey's style featuring a fantastic hook and tons of attitude. "The Playground Legend" is youthfully inspirational, incorporates the great sound into a fun and innocent story, and feautres a great flow from T Stuckey. "Do Ya Thing" wraps things up nicely with a fantastic display of production excellence. If you like well-produced hip-hop albums and want to hear this kid give the big boys a run for their money, pick this EP up.

"Words From Notes" by Triflemore (World Artist from Scotland)

Triflemore blends the guitar and voice into one beautiful sound on their latest disc, "Words From Notes." The talented duo is comprised of singer Susan Rhea, who hails from small-town America, and guitarist Owen Goudie from the Shetland Islands. Together, their collaborative talents combine to produce a touching CD, filled with throwback sounds of folk singers from the late 1960's. Rhea's voice is reminiscent of Joni Mitchell in all the best ways imaginable. Her voice is wonderful to hear and her eloquent tones can be heard on songs like "Goudfield" and "Perfect." Not to go unnoticed, Goudie's finger style guitar work is also exceptional in its own right. You can tell he has crafted his melodies around Rhea's vocals and intertwines them so one does not overshadow the other. A highlight of his playing can be heard on "Signal." "Words From Notes" is a perfect fit for any Joni Mitchell or Emmylou Harris fan and could very well be used to paint the soundtrack of all of our lives.
