(1 Customer Review)
As the most prominent "New Traditionalist," Randy Travis had the foresight to see that country music's future required looking into its past. On HEROES & FRIENDS the North Carolina native pays tribute to his influences with a set of duets. Some choices are obvious and fit like a glove (George Jones, Merle Haggard, Vern Gosdin), while others are a bit more surprising. Luckily, even B.B. King and Clint Eastwood slide easily into Travis's warm, inviting, musical niche. Throughout, the sound is quintessential Travis: a spare rhythm section, weeping steel, tinkling piano, all providing the perfect bed for the singer's rich vocals.

Songs from top Nashville writers like Matraca Berg, Gretchen Peters and Beth Neilsen Chapman are included, but so is material from rockers Aldo Nova and Sheryl Crow.

| | Lesser Heroes Falling Further Underground CD (2006)
Heroes & Friends CD music
$7.99 As the music scene continues to rise in Phoenix, AZ, Lesser Heroes is quickly becoming recognized with listeners of all ages. Catchy, melodic rock songs, driving guitars and passionate female vocals is a hard combination to resist. And let’s be honest here – who doesn’t enjoy the contrast of four guys and a girl?But you should hear her sing. Ree Boado's feminine voice brings a supple twist to the band's sometimes hard, driving guitar, bass and drums. But even so, Boado's vocals are just as edgy as her personality and presentation - a trait apparent in the band's debut EP, Falling Further Underground.Lesser Heroes includes guitarist Carlos Lugo, drummer Matt Davis, bassist Johnny Estrada and guitarist Matt Bopp.The members, ranging in age from 22 to 28, all bring their own background and influence to the 1-year-old band.Boado recalls soul music as one of her largest influences, while jazz fueled Estrada as a child."My parents were ministers, so the only edgy music I could hear was jazz," Estrada says. His involvement in church was his first taste of performing music, he says."The church's bass player stopped going, and one weekend my dad made me learn, like, 15 hymns," Estrada says, laughing. But he's thankful that he stumbled upon the bass guitar.Lugo says he is into mostly modern British rock like Coldplay and Keane, while Davis comes from a metal background."We all come from such a wide variety of musical likes and dislikes and different cultures," Davis says.This mash-up of styles gives Lesser Heroes a somewhat different sound than most bands have been producing. They have a mixture of the current popular styles, ranging from upbeat pop rhythms to more serious, metal-influenced breakdowns."If you heard us on the radio, you wouldn't confuse us with anybody else," Lugo says.This is also partly due to Boado's contribution of the often-underappreciated female vocals, which she says, "brings a softness" to ...
