Melissa Gail Klein drops powerful new record "Crystalline Charm" There is SO much good stuff to say about this album, and this artist Melissa Gail Klein The first track "Did I Wish" lets us get to know a little bit about the range of Melissa's earthy voice. Track 2, "Riverside" is a track about coming together, and I imagine riding down highway 1 (the beach) blasting this track. Next up is called "The Same" and we get to hear Melissa play the banjo with great ability. The textural soundscape is rife with ear-candy. The production on this album is impeccable. "Just put on your make-up and fall back in line..." is one of the many lines in this track that expresses the drone of social hypnosis. Notice the amazing guitar solo at the end, intertwining with psychedelic violin. Track 4, "Lapis" is a perfect interlude with wooden flute and evocative instrumetns. Track 5 is the title track, "Crystalline Charm". ...
A Cowboy version of "In A Gadda Da Vida" is what I think of when I first heard the Debut album from cowboy musicians Baxter Elkins. For those who are not familiar with Iron Butterfly and their 17 minute long psychedelic rock opus, click HERE. The duo is made up of the surfing singer/songwriter Jordan Hook, and powerhouse musician Bar Jay Bar aka Joey "Juice" Berglund. So who is Baxter Elkins? Allow Jordan to explain: I love their creativity. Have you ever seen a band like this? (answer in comments below if you have/haven't) The boys both play in the west coast bluegrass/punk band Water Tower . They have a knack for creating content that demands the attention of the viewer. Their newest commercial highlights the iconic scene in the movie "Office Space" except instead of beating up a printer, they are destroying copies of their brand new album. I love artists who do not take themselves TOO seriously. A great son...
