"Como Agua de Mayo" by Gueta na Fonte (Acoustic/Folk artist from Spain)

Gueta na Fonte's (Search in the Source's) "Como Agua de Mayo" (Like Water of May) struck us immediately as a winner of Celtic structure and so much more with it's modern and awesome production. Melodically modern, the varied ancient folk instrumentation gives the music on the CD a very powerful and deep sound. In listening to the CD, it becomes clear that this is the work of highly skilled musicians. The female vocals on some of the tracks, such as "Luz's Flower," has a very rich and passionate tone and is pitch-perfect. This CD, which is a collaboration from Xuaco de la Miranda, David Varela and the Choir Classic Chapel of Luanco directed by Facundo Artime, combines upbeat delightful pieces and easily transforms to slower and timeless pieces, such as one of our favorite tracks, "In The Forest Of Love." The final track, "Dance Of May," is our stand-out favorite track with a beautiful combination of acoustic guitar and a beautiful lead female vocals that builds into the more traditional instrumentation of the CD. If you enjoy world or celtic music, you will enjoy this CD.

"In The Earth's Fading Light" by Kristina Stykos (Acoustic Artist from Vermont)

"In The Earth's Fading Light" delights in terrific harmonies and spiritual essence of a supreme guitarist. Kristina Stykos passionately opens the selection with "This I Know", which then gives way to a tender instrumental loaded with stunningly beautiful guitar entitled "Gypsy Lullaby". We could not get enough of Stykos' style. Favorites can all go by the wayside, as they cannot be selected out of such a compelling collection of music. Moreover, the stripped down production of these tunes add to the overall atmosphere of heart-felt honesty. Kristina puts everything she feels into these songs, which is why this album deserves to be heard.

"In My Eyes" by Lydia Gray (Easy Listening artist from New Hampshire (NH))

Hailing from such a talented musical family, Lydia Gray's recording of popular hits entitled "In My Eyes" reflects multi-generational influences. Her pitch is fantastic, accompaniment light and airy, and her interpretations right-on! We think Gray captures the feeling and hidden meaning in this excellent collection modern hits. If you enjoy Norah Jones, then you'll enjoy this CD. Lydia's sultry vocals are stand-out in "I Love Him," along with fantastic flute in this number and on "Red Rain." For the brilliant "sadness" of the guitar and cello, plus Lydia's sweet vocal rendition, our pick is "Sorry Seems To Be The Hardest Word." All there is left to say, "Hurry, don't wait another day until you check out Lydia's beautiful vocals on these memorable songs."
