/Marcia Ball/Angela Strehli.
Personnel includes: Lou Ann Barton, Marcia Ball, Angela Strehli (vocals); Jimmie Vaughan (steel guitar).
Producers include: Dr. John.
Dreams Come True is an all-star session by vocalists Marcia Ball, Lou Ann Barton and Angela Strehli. The three women sing with a band led by Dr. John and the session features guest appearances by such luminaries as David "Fathead" Newman and Jimmie Vaughan. The music is straight out of the Texas school of roadhouse R&B and blues boogie but it's delivered with a gritty, hearfelt edge, particularly on the part of the three vocalists. Dreams Come True may follow formula, but it's followed with style and affection, which makes it a very enjoyable listen. ~ Thom Owens

Dreams Come True Music Review Average Rating: (5 out of 5 stars)  Emancipation in music? This is it!
I earlier bought music of Marcia Ball, the powerful female en pianoplayer. with that magic mixing touch of Texas an Louisiana. As an old-style-jazzmusician myself, I also apperciate rock, soul, countryrock and gospel. So
'Dreams come true', with Marcia Ball, Angela Strehli and Lou Ann Barton was a logical buy, but also a renewed surprising experience. This is a superb example of women's emanciapation in music: powerful, independent, soulful swinging and rocking. With straight-on rockers, wonderful blues and even 'tasteful' tearjerkers. Thank you, producer Dr.John, you once again did very good job!

Gary Taylor – Biography by Steven IvoryGary Taylor routinely does something I'd say most recording artists don't even have the luxury of dreaming about: He creates music entirely on his terms.When he sits down at the keyboard, he's not thinking of writing a radio smash, because few radio stations play "real" music anymore. He's not thinking of a chart record, because most music charts are driven by something strange and sinister beyond mere listener appeal. No, when Gary writes, the only voice he feels obligated to listen to, is his heart. This is how he makes music.If you're holding anyone of his albums, then you probably dig a certain kind of music. You probably embrace Stevie Wonder of the "Music Of My Mind" era. Donny Hathaway. You understand the cream Burt Bacharach and Hal David stirred when they whipped up all that divine, sassy space music with Dionne Warwick.You love the delicious crescendo on Earth, Wind & Fire's "Love's Holiday", you turn up the volume for the last intense seconds of Stevie's "That Girl", savouringevery run of his ad-lib at the end…You love what Thom Bell did with The Stylistics, The Spinners and you're hip to his legendary Johnny Mathis production. You dig Jazz. Miles. Gospel. Steely Dan. Early Gino Vannelli. Great vocalists. Aretha Franklin, Peabo Bryson, Sade… Definitely the Bossa Nova of Antonio Carlos Jobim. Basically, you dig anything that is melodic and uniquely so.When photographer Bobby Holland introduced me to Gary Taylor in Los Angeles in the '70s, it was our love of the aforementioned music that immediately bonded us. At the time, I was only starting to write about R&B and Gary had just made his first music, really, by composing the songs for a local musical written by buddy Kenny Davis. I don't think he'd even taught himself piano by then; wrote it all on acoustic guitar.Gary and I used to write together. What that really means is I'd sit late into the night and listen while he searched tirelessly, trying to squeeze just one more spooky, sexy chord out of his Fender Rhodes. Needless to say, the collaboration was brief. But it afforded me a front row seat to witness ...

Diamond Nights: Morgan Phalen (vocals, guitar); S.D. Rumsey (vocals, bass guitar); Tim Traymor (vocals, drums); Doc (guitar, synthesizer).
Personnel: Morgan Phalen (vocals, guitar); Timmy Traynor (vocals, drums).
Recording information: Kemado Studios.
The AOR revival rolls on with a tight, hard and tough dose of dual guitar attack, slashing riffs, soaring falsetto and the best vocal sneer since Phil Lynott. Diamond Nights are the band, Popsicle the album. The four dudes in the band must have been raised on a steady diet of classic rawk from the likes of Thin Lizzy, AC/DC, Judas Priest, Eddie Money, and Alice Cooper. They recapture it so perfectly you know it was burned deep into their souls at a young age. Or it is all a hipster joke? Either way the record is fantastic from beginning to end. Lead-off track "Destination Diamonds" has to be the best song of the summer of 2005. It thunders, swoops and struts in ways nothing else has for a long time, at least not quite so convincingly, and it will unleash your inner rock & roll tiger by the end of the first chorus easily. By the end you will be trading in your suit and tie for greasy sideburns and a dirty bandana. The rest of the record suffers slightly by comparison but there are plenty of fine rockin' moments like the live wire attack of "It's a Shokka," Morgan Phalen's insane falsetto on "Needle in the Rice," the cheesy synths on the new wave-ish "The Girl's Attractive," as well as plenty of great songs like the very Urge Overkill-sounding "Dirty Thief," the rollicking low-key ballad "Snakey Ruth," the corny but fun "Drip Drip," and "Saturday Fantastic," a fine addition to the Saturday night canon and the kind of cock-walking tune the Stones wish they could wrap their moneyed hands around once again. The only downfall of the record is that the heart of it (including the two best songs, "Destination Diamonds" and "Saturday Fantastic") was already released on the Once ...
