Craig Bickhardt's new CD Brother To The Wind contains some of the best work he has done in a long career dedicated to ennobling the art of song Bickhardt's songs have been recorded by over 100 artists including luminaries such as Johnny Cash, BB King, Allison Krauss, Ray Charles, Willie Nelson, Janis Ian and Art Garfunkle For this project, Bickhardt dug deep into his 800-tune catalog These songs are highly artistic, and throughout his extraordinary career he has picked up many believers among the better artists of his generation Fontaine Cooley is original acoustic instrumental music fusing jazz, funk, blues, country, bluegrass and an occasional latin groove What started as a casual conversation between two old musical friends, grew into the rekindling of their passion for playing music together The instrumentation, acoustic guitar, mandolin, bass and drums, might lead one to expect a certain type of music, perhaps country or even bluegrass But while elements of those genres are evident, there are also liberal doses of jazz, funk, blues and Latin, all of which fuse into a style and sound that is uniquely Fontaine Cooley Each song is a small journey, and just when it seems the route is identified, an unexpected turn, a surprising detour occurs

Misadventures In Stereo, the third album by widely lauded singer/songwriter/multi-instrumentalist Jim Boggia, is unmistakably the work of a true believer and pop craftsman who’s closely acquainted with music’s capacity for transcendent uplift His songs get the balance right between devastating beauty and sadness, and the big fat joke that is life Born blind in one eye and with limited vision in the other, Boggia grew up an only child with an acutely developed ear for music Blackberry selected one of his tracks for a new ad campaign and his songs have also been featured on MTV’s Real World and ABC-TV’s Men In Trees He’s developed a loyal grass-roots fan base for his dynamic, improvisational live shows His work has been embraced by numerous fellow artists and kindred spirits, many of who have lent their talents to Boggia’s albums
