Yes and there is nothing wrong with that, but this sounds incredibly forced - to the point of appearing as a pastiche - and dated.

I'm happy that Frontiers Music exists as a last home for AOR music, but the incestuous atmosphere there breeds some low quality stuff. They throw a lot of stuff at the wall just to see what sticks.

These three young sibling lasses with a fresh recording contract from Warner will no doubt go somewhere - with that look and how their voices gel. Sort of Athens', Georgia, answer to the Irish family band The Corrs, albeit 20 years later:



They describe their music as "neo-traditional country", uhum, I would assume that our resident C&W expert would have to say something scathing about that, but let's just settle for "folky country pop", ok? Pleasant.

I liked that.  A nice relaxed feel to it.

Besides having bands that have been around for a while that maybe have lost a lot of their audience through the years, Frontiers also has some fringe bands that can get my attention.  One good example would be Edge of Paradise.  They don't sound great live--too much of a muddled sound.  But I like some of their albums.  Their most recent one is "Hologram."  I'm still checking it out, but so far like it better than I was expecting.

  Ian Hunter's Defiance part 1 is getting quite a bit of spin time. The man can still rock and has more to say than most. Here's Bed of Roses with Ringo and Mike Campbell.

The Patty Loveless version.

I think Suzy does one of the best covers of this song.

That is a great cover version.

Today I'm listening to Mr. Moore.

This is excellent.

I love playing for change.
 as a cover aficionado, (with no hint of hyperbole) I think they are the best source of cover versions there is,

My all time favourite cover version (stretching the definition) is their version of Biko.
what's not to love, Angelique Kudjo and Yoyo Mas' strings, taiko drums and bagpipes!
 and the singer is no  stranger to the material :)



The definitive version of this one too

Best Lizzy song ever. Highly atmospheric bass line.
