"Where We Never Grow Old" by Nancy Chancey (Blues Artist from Georgia(GA))

"Where We Never Grow Old" by Nancy Chancey is an impressive country rock album with elements of blues, folk, and Americana from a powerful and talented singer. Nancy's voice booms confidently through the bluesy guitars and big beats. Her strong vocals are similar to Sheryl Crow, Jewel, or Bonnie Raitt. She also shows you a world of depth in her songwriting ability. Though the album is mostly upbeat, she'll make you feel pain, empowerment, and joy alike throughout this musical journey. The arrangements and musicianship are very good, complementing Nancy's strong vocals very nicely. The recordings are nice and crisp with simple production, allowing the instruments and vocals to nicely cut through in the recording. Highlights include the opener "One Day at a Time," setting the table nicely with a catchy chorus and a great little blues riff. The title track, "Where We Never Grow Old," features a delicate flute intro, a noble guitar progression, and intimate vocals. "No Good Lovin" has another hot blues lick and a great vocal performance. If you enjoy female country vocalists nicely complimented with rock, folk, and the blues, take a listen to this excellent CD by Nancy Chancey.

“Nostalgia” by Darin Seldes (Rock Artist from Atlanta, Georgia(GA))

"Nostalgia" is a rock album with elements of jazz, funk, zydeco, and reggae from the innovative Darin Seldes. On "Nostalgia" Seldes combines atypical rock instruments – Spanish guitar, organ, horns, mandolin, and piano – with typical instruments to create an original sound. His vocals are also quite unique, accentuated and raspy with an impressive range, comparable to Scottish singer/songwriter Paolo Nutini. The clarity and quality of the production of the album allows the outstanding individual instrumental work to cut through the recording clearly and precisely. The lyrics on "Nostalgia" are oftentimes catchy and playful, though the album as a whole recognizes the difficulties of living in this imperfect world. "Long Awaited Ditty" features a playful and catchy bridge, "This is the section of the song for those who like to sing along." "Crawfish and Boiled Shrimp" is similarly playful as Seldes sings about eating seafood and attending outdoor festivities. Lyrically, "Lonely Incorporated," as one might suspect, is not quite as playful, but the instrumental combination of piano, Spanish guitar, drums, and an electric solo is quite the jam. "Nostalgia" is a true original for fans of a jazzy, funky or reggae-infused rock sound. If you enjoy rock or any of these combined genres, you'll enjoy this excellent CD.

"I Can't Live Like This" by Glenn Gordon (Blues Artist from Georgia(GA))

"I Can't Live Like This" is the debut single from Contemporary Jazz singer Glenn Gordon. The song is a snapshot of many different influences. The song features a nice mix of classic and modern Jazz styles, plus quite a bit of R&B flavor. Glenn's voice has some of the qualities of the great Soul singers and his delivery is passionate. The mood is very upbeat, as the song glides its way into your ears. It's one of those songs that brings a smile to your face within the first bar and you can't wipe it off until the last bar. Everything about this song is clear. The arrangement is fantastic. All of the instruments are very complementary to one another and the performances are great. The production quality is also very good - a very crisp recording and great final product. If you enjoy Teddy Pendergrass and Marvin Gaye, you'll enjoy this song.

RadioIndy is pleased to present Chris Demarco with a GrIndie Award for their CD "Lost and Found"

 

"Lost and Found" by Chris Demarco is a heart warming contemporary rock album. Chris' vocals are rich and have a nice depth to them. The accompanying arrangements are softly driving and contain subtle variances, including a hint of country from time to time. The musicianship and production throughout the CD are very professional. "Love and Murder" is a fun track with spoken word and a 40's sound with a little twang. "I Don't Wanna Wake Up" is a "song about a girl" with a light Island sound. "Sail Away" features some nice vibrato and range in the vocals and leaves you with a sense of hope. If you enjoy softer adult rock, you'll enjoy this CD
