Joe McBride definitely keeps things "real" on his CD Keepin' It Real. Everything is real smooth, real light, and real contemporary. There is an interesting, if oddball cover of The Sopranos' theme to start things off, but otherwise this is straightforward instrumental pop-jazz. McBride takes a nice vocal turn on the mid-tempo "Never Let You Go" that is reminiscent of '80s Peter Cetera. Similarly, "Can't Live Without You" features the pianist on the very Babyface-sounding acoustic ballad. While nothing here really jumps out and grabs you, fans of McBride should find the low-key album much to their liking. ~ Matt Collar

The following review of "Past The Breakers" was given by a Santa Cruz entertainment weekly called the Good Times:Brian Travis BandPast the BreakersTaste This Moment RecordsRecorded here in Santa Cruz with Andy Zenczak as engineer, Past the Breakers is the newest offering from Santa-Cruz-escapee-turned-L.A.-success-story Brian Travis. Travis and band strip their friendly, folky style of rock down to the bare wood, flaunting catchy melodies, tight playing and backing vocals that make the choruses pop up like islands on a relief map. Guitarist Jason Gonzales' leads are showy, but not cheesy, and in spite of some nasal moments, Travis delivers his messages-many of which resonate deeply in the psyche-with conviction and clarity. A few key lines: "Even when it's bad, it's good to be alive"; "I'll see you in the afterglow where rock and roll lives forever"; "Nothing goes as you expect/No matter which road you select/You gotta buy yourself a toaster if you want a guarantee." Even the painfully wholesome "Crush On Molly"-a tale of one singer's infatuation with another-proves captivating. At the song's conclusion, the object of Travis' desire shoots him down, eliciting the deathless line, "I guess that's why they call it a crush." "Here in LA" is a perfect choice of closing track, beautifully capturing the dusky, somber mood of sundown in the City of Angels. Lap steel marinated in melancholy-not to mention a catchy verse-colors the narrative. "It's impossible to see exactly what this town is gonna take from me," Travis sings. One thing L.A. has apparently done to Travis is turn him into a top-notch storyteller; the songs on Past the Breakers keep a kung fu grip on the listener's attention while summing up basic truths in an effortlessly entertaining way. Catch the Brian Travis Band Friday, March 4th at the Aptos Club, where this CD will be available for purchase. | Damon OrionHere is what people who have purchased the CD are saying about "Past The Breakers":"The cd is awsome, I don't know how many times I've listened to it..." -Courtnie Tuffy, Ventura County"The main thing that strikes me about "Past The Breakers" is that there is an underlying joy in it. Even when the subject matter of a song is difficult or sad, there is a joy in the music. The musicians are all very talented, the writing is great and it is put together really well. Cool messages, stuff to think about, reminding us to live, even when we may think it is too hard. All that and great rock music to tap ones feet or shake ones groove thing to. Very nice! I really like the CD. Thanks guys!!" -Lisa Severson, Minneapolis"I had the pleasure of buying the new Brian Travis Band album when I was in L.A. & I am really impressed. It is so great. I highly recommend it. The band is so tight & Brian's lyrics are really emotional, especially the heartbreaking 'Temporary'. This is definitely one album that will be on my current rotation." - Lily, New York"I love it! I had an interview in Pittsburgh last week so I was in the car ...
