This Wounded Bird two-fer contains two titles that guitarist Eric Gale recorded for the Elektra Musician imprint in the early '80s. Blue Horizon was recorded in 1981 and issued in 1982, and was his first for the label. Featuring performances by Mark Mazur, Hugh Masekela, and Peter Schott, it contains a sweet, breezy, and funky style of laid-back jazz. The latter title, with Ralph MacDonald and Bob James, is a little more commercial, but deeply satisfying nonetheless. Gale's contributions as a sideman unfortunately sometimes overshadow his work as a leader, and these two recordings go a long way toward showcasing his signature guitar style. ~ Thom Jurek Island Breeze/Blue Horizon Music Eric Gale Island Breeze/Blue Horizon Songs | 1. | Boardwalk |

Photographer: George Wells.
Some of guitarist Robben Ford's weaknesses, such as song composition and vocals, are rectified or at least made less obvious, on this predominantly live release. On his fourth release for the Concord label, Ford is able to cherrypick better material from inconsistent albums, unearth choice covers, and generally broaden the music with his fiery playing. This, along with the natural energy generated by the stage environment, focuses attention on the guitarist's skills as a creative six-string bluesman who expands the narrow confines of the genre by adding soul and jazz influences. He kicks off the set with a lazy, wah-wah enhanced "Supernatural," the title track to his 1999 disc, and revs up the energy from there, jumping into the instrumental "Indianola." This is where Ford seamlessly combines rock, blues, jazz, and surf into a five-minute tour de force, leading one to believe that a vocal-free show might display his superb guitar ...

It has taken Christopher Cannon 14 years to record his debut Comedy CD and Funny Boy is well worth the wait. Avoiding the large theater recordings prevelant in today's comedy CD choices, Funny Boy takes the listener back to where they belong...the intimate atmosphere of a comedy club."Christopher Cannon's new CD Funny Boy really IS funny but when it comes to working an audience, Chris is no BOY...he's a pro." - Sonny Fox/XM Satellite RadioRecorded over a two-night club performance, Cannon deals with a wide range of topics from Iraq to NASCAR."Hilarious" - Indie Shout Magazine"I did something I honestly thought I wouldn't. I laughed out loud." - Don Sill/Two Drink MinimumChristopher Cannon's comedy career began while serving as a tank commander in the US Army at Fort Hood, Texas. While on field exercises, Sargeant Cannon, the budding comic, would entertain his fellow troops by performing comedy routines from the back deck of an M-1 Abrams battle tank. Upon discharge, Christopher headed south to Austin, where he found himself behind the wheel of a ...
