This is a list of CDs that I bought in 2018, not necessarily came out in 2018
First off is two Albums by Lex Land, A Singer/songwriter out of Austin Texas. She mostly does Jazz music, like songs from the 30's and 40's. She also writes her know music with a jazz feel to them. Albums: Orange Days On Lemon Street: This is Lex's first album, I believe about 10 years ago. I Really enjoy this CD, some of my favorite songs are Easy, As much as you lead, Sweet. I have only know of Lex for a little while. But the first time I heard her voice it just grabbed me, which is unusual because I don't listen to Jazz music. Lex's tone and the control she has with her voice is what drew me towards her. So much that I invited her to do a House Concert this past Sept at a Friend of mines house... Were My Sweetheart To Go: This Album is very different from the first one, can't say I have a favorite yet. I do enjoy the album, mainly because of Lex's voice is so captivating. Joyann Parker's Album: "Hard To Handle" This Album is Awesome, again I just recently found out about Joyann a few months ago. I think my favorite song on this album is "Envy" it's such a sultry song and Joyann's voice has just enough raspy sound to it that it just brings this song to life. The next song is "Bluer Than You" once again Joyann's voice just pulls you into the song. I believe Joyann will be going far.... Can't wait to be able to hear Joyann in person. Sleepy Rubies: Albums..."Great Big Love" and "Big Mountain" Both of these albums are ones that I could listen to over and over again. Emily's voice just blew me away the first time I heard it. The first song I heard was "South City" a song that Emily wrote about St. Louis, Mo. where I live and also Emily. Her voice is so Pure and the way she can take the notes and make them sound like music it self, it's amazing. This group is with Emily's Sister Ali Ruby. The two of them can Harmonizes like no one i have ever heard before. I highly recommend these Albums... Samantha Martin & Delta Sugar. Album: "Run To Me" Once again I just stumbled upon Samantha recently, she is from Canada. Samantha has this real kind of gritty blues voice. That takes you back to the Delta, I really haven't been able to pick a favorite off of this album. It has a real Soulful Blues feel to it. Samantha has two more albums out, one is a little more Bluesy and not sure about the other one... I do recommend "Run To Me" Lauren Mitchell Album: "Desire" Lauren is another Singer I just came upon a few months ago, I thought Lauren was so good that I got booked at The Blues City Deli here in town. It was an Awesome show. One of my favorite songs is "Soul Music" Lauren has such Sultry Soulful voice that you can't help but feel it deep down in your soul when she sings... another favorite song is "Brown Liquor" is a groovy soul song... Highly recommend this Album Ted Hawkins Album: "Watch Your Step I first have to thank my goo Friend Lee who introduced me to Ted Hawkins music. The first think you will notice about Ted is that he isn't a singer with a smooth voice, but he has a voice that just oozes with feelings. Which is perfect for the style of music that he plays. The first favorite is "If You Love Me" this song is a great story that brings you in so much that you can almost see whats happening. The next Favorite is "Stop Your Crying" another song with such feelings.. Larkin Poe Album: Venom & Faith This Album is two sisters Rebecca & Megan Lovell, I was amazed that even how young they are that they could do songs that sound right out of the Delta. I really can't tell you a favorite song, cause they are all that good. Just the way they play the slide guitar and the voices sounding so haunting of the blues. I was pleasantly surprised with this... This is my first edition, which doesn't mean this are any better then the ones I will be posting about later. Just that these were first on the list that I wrote down.. Thank you hope you enjoy
