What\u2019s appealing, what sets this guy from the rest?  Simple.  His story.  A young man with a dream, on the brink of losing a mortgage with a baby and wife to care for.  Jason pressed on when he should have gave up, and his story comes through his storytelling songs.  Resembling  classic country,  incomplex , evoking emotion in the styles of  early Dolly Parton, Willie Nelson, Hank Williams and others,  Jason Aldean describes that hard on luck story tale in his \u201cJohnny Cash\u201d titled song.  Adlean\u2019s voice is typical honky-tonk, however it is in his lyrics you hear something special.  Throwing caution to the wind, taking a big risk, Aldean sings determinedly, \u201cBlasting out to Johnny Cash, heading out to the highway, baby we ain\u2019t ever coming back\u201d  there is a sense of the brink of something big, the great rise or the great fall.  Sounds to me Jason Aldean found his way up.<\/p>\n<p>Phantom Punch-Sondre Lerche (&amp;  The Faces Down)<br \/>\nRelease 2007 (available now in stores and online)<br \/>\nhttp:\/\/www.sondrellerche.com<br \/>\nhttp:\/\/www.myspace.com\/sondrelerche<br \/>\nProduced by Tony Hoffer (Supergrass, The kooks, Phoenix, Beck, The Thrills) this Norwegian singer\/songwriter and guitarist takes sounds from the last two decades and wraps it up, with the ability to keep up with today\u2019s trends.  With catchy guitar licks, pop energy and stops, surprising changes, there is plenty to keep the songs interesting.  Apparently Sounder Lerche toured with Elvis Costless and was influenced greatly because of it.  The experience pushed him to \u201cwrite songs with his band in mind\u201d.  \u201cSay it All\u201d, \u201cPhantom Punch\u201d,\u201d Airport Taxi Reception\u201d, and \u201cThe Tape\u201d, can be heard on his misplace page.  This is an artist that has potential to cross genre\u2019s, taste, and age alike, with his talent to integrate music of the past with his own twist to influence the future.<\/p>\n<p>Melankton-Kate Havnevik<br \/>\nRelease 3\/27\/2007<br \/>\nhttp:\/\/www.katehavnevik.com<br \/>\nhttp:\/\/www.myspace.com\/katehavnevik<br \/>\n\u201cUnlike Me\u201d sets off with a delicate Alines Modiste voice, yet a haunting effect that reminds me of Tore Amos.  Exquisitely beautiful, bringing about sensations of floating among the clouds, her mesmerizing voice sings, \u201cDo you think I\u2019m strange?\u201d.  A relatable question most woman can identify with, Kate gently guides you into her world.  Just when you think the song couldn\u2019t get better she hits you with a climatic ending, and sets her stage.  A heart quaking yet elegant warning sets \u201cNew Day\u201d off, bringing the question, \u201cWhat is happening?\u201d to mind.  Sudden panic booms, bass, fat beats trample me, and then I realize it is morning, it is morning a new day to begin.  This song takes after the styles of very talented Bjork, think  DRAMATIC, chaos, beautiful travesty promising a fresh start.  Kate\u2019s excitement pulsates!  I found \u201cTimeless\u201d to have had too much tech influence, that happened to drown her infectious vocals.   As for female artists today, I like Kate&#8217;s attempt and style, I look forward to her work developing over the years.<\/p>\n<p>The Traneumentary<br \/>\nPod cast 6\/18\/2007<br \/>\nhttp:\/\/www.traneumentary.blogspot.com<br \/>\nThe traneumentary is a pod cast that showcases John Cortland.  On this paticular episode Steve Kuhn a former band member tells his story of how he came to work with the legendary jazz saxophonist.  Steve Kuhn points out John\u2019s \u201cprimitive\u201d talent, mentioning he was not a showoff and did not sacrifice the integrity of his music for his ego.  Interesting fact about Cortland, he had a sweet tooth, and loved his butter rum candies.  Steve Kuhn remembers fondly of smelling the butter rum treats on John rather than the typical scent of cologne.  John offered Steve $135.00 a week after meeting with him twice, this was a good gig for him at that time, the most he was ever paid was $100 a week.  Steve admits he would have done it for free.  They worked the club \u201cThe Gallery\u201d in 1960 for 2 weeks, then that two weeks kept getting extended and Cortland ended up playing a total of 24 to 26 weeks.  At that time John had put out Giant Steps and he would play off the stuff he did for that album as well as some impressions.  He seemed \u201con the fence\u201d at the time with his styles.   This pod cast has several episodes to choose from filled with lovely tales and facts of this jazz giant.  Music that can be heard on this episode in the background include; \u201cThe Theme\u201d Miles Davis Quintet, \u201cLike Sonny\u201d, \u201cI\u2019ll Wait and Pray\u201d, \u201cCountdown\u201d, and \u201cI want to talk about you\u201d.   This pod cast is not only worth your time, but I highly suggest subscribing to it, what a gem!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Music Reviews, and one podcast by Tera Laufer Relentless-Jason Aldean Release 5\/29\/2007 Homepage http:\/\/www.myspace.com\/jasonaldean June 7, 2007 this indie label country singer hit the number 1 spot on the country Billboard.
