| | Connie Acher For The Love Of It CD Connie Acher Discography of CDs
Connie Acher, the voice of an angel strumming a sweet guitar. Layers of voice, guitar and percussion enshrouding intelligent lyrics on the nature of life and love. All songs recorded at home to insure supreme bedroom ambiance. Connie Acher's debut was in 1999 when 200 vinyl copies of her LP "Love Sick Lip Service" were released on the Flipped Out Records label based in Albany NY. The following year, she teamed up with Sean Slaney, to produce the LP "Love Pop" by Connie Acher and Jelly, also released on Flipped Out Records. The name Jelly was used, because it referenced a sexual euphemism in music from the twenties and thirties, as in the songs "Hot Jelly Roll Blues", by George Carter, "Selling the Jelly", by Noah Lewis's Jug Band and "He's a Jellyroll Baker" by Lonnie Johnson. Other musicians from the time period even appropriated the word into their own names like Jelly Roll Morton and Jelly Jaw Short. Connie and Sean continued to make music together and in 2002, a third vinyl LP was released on Flipped Out Records, "For the Love of it", by Connie Acher and Blind Drunk John. This time the name Jelly changed to Blind Drunk John to reflect their interests in the pre war blues musicians like Blind Lemon Jefferson, Blind Blake, Blind Willie McTell, Blind Boy Fuller, Blind Reverend Gary Davis, and Blind Willie Johnson. "For the Love of It" is currently available on CD as well as vinyl."Connie Acher's first couple of LPs were a bit loose on their moorings. Ms. Acher's mode was definitely folkish, but there was a persistent outsider-flange that made her work redolent of such genuine odd socks as Jandek and Leslie Q. On her third LP, For the Love of It, Connie is joined by Blind Drunk John, and the resulting album is far more trad than anyone might've dared dream. True, a song like "Leaping Frogs" sounds more like an underwater version of "Dock of the Bay" than it does a Bonnie Raitt demo or something, but much of the material here has the same kinda boozy swing that propelled the best Minnesota folk-blues releases of the '60s and '70s. How intentional this might be is purely speculative, but this would be an easy record to recommend to even the stodgiest turd on the block. Its kilter is surely off, and this becomes more apparent the more closely you listen, but the general gestalt is so damn pleasant you're in for a treat no matter how square you happen to be." - Byron Coley Connie Acher For The Love Of It Songs | 1. | Oh My My |

For The Love Of It album
 $9.55     
Susan Boyle's grand unveiling on Britain's Got Talent was with a song from Les Miserables - the very song that lends this album its title -- and if she could become an international sensation based on a show tune standard, there's no reason for her to change her approach on her debut, since that's the sound that made her a star. Plus, a large part of Boyle's appeal is that she's a middle-aged woman recalling a bygone era when there were singers that appealed to an adult audience by ...

Since Jimmy Buffett never leaves his comfort zone, it's hard to call 2009's Buffet Hotel a return to roots but, in a way, it is. Discounting the mock rap on "Turn Up the Heat and Chill the Rosé," this album doesn't even have the lingering country and reggae flavors that seasoned 2006's Take the ...

Tom "Toma" Chaffer is your basic, global love-child. His Dad (pictured on the cover - see wordsinred ) faithfully carted him and his Mom and siblings through a dozen different states, Canada, Turkey and Germany.Being frustrated with existence and teen-hood, Toma found hope when he saw an image of the Crucifix and suddenly understood the eternal YES God provides in Yeshua (Jesus), King of the Universe. Thus began the prolific song-writing career of our protagonist, Toma, as he was lifted into a profound sense of worship and openness unsurpassed by any earthly phenomenon. Toma's Atomsound, the Media project ( atomsound. net), was conceived in the summer of 2002. It provided the launching pad for his album, al Panai. The impetus for pulling together these tunes (some new, some old) was to have a ...

| | Paul Lewis Get On With It CD (2001)
For The Love Of It music CDs
$13.15
In an industry torn between artistic merit and commercial success, Paul Lewis' solo debut, Get On With It, is a record that satisfies the demands of both. A sarcastic symphony of pop, the dawn of a post modern renaissance of rock n roll that takes you on a lyrical journey with doses of reality and romanticism, hope filled harmonies and melodies that scream and shout from the soul. Paul Lewis grew up in Maryland taking voice and guitar lessons, performing wherever and whenever he could. He attended Salisbury State University where he majored in theater. While performing in a production at the college, Paul caught the eye of a founding member of the band "Y-NOT!?" After auditioning, all the pieces were in place and Paul began mesmerizing audiences in his new role as front man to the band. "YNOT!?" released A Thrilled Voice which catapulted Lewis and the band to the front ranks to the Mid-Atlantic music scene. Eventually to the dismay of a legion of fans, the group parted ways. Paul decided to continue pursuing music by forming the successful "Dead City Radio" and then ultimately decided on a solo career. He said his goodbyes, packed a U-haul and hit the road.Paul arrived in Los Angeles without a band, money or a job for the first time in his career. Since then, he has never looked back. "Singing and performing" he declares "is what I do, it's who I am, it's in my blood". Paul began to build a devoted following in LA with performances at high profile venues such as The Roxy and The Gig. He kept writing new music while entertaining audiences and found himself continually being asked the question, "How do I get a Paul Lewis record?" One night while playing a gig, the answer walked in the door. Paul became part of the Los Angeles indie label Realize ...

June 7, 2003 -- Riomaggiore, ItalyA lot of people ask me what I'm doing here. I'll tell you...I came here for the first time in 1999. I was 22-years-old, fresh out of college, and backpacking around europe. I had my guitar, my journal, and no return ticket...Playing a little street music -- making some traveling change -- seemed worth a try. It worked. My guitar case routinely filled with francs, lire, deutchmarks, kroner and pesetas, not to mention the occasional brick of hash or flirtatious phone number. I went back to New York (one of my erstwhile homes) after a year and a half. But I hadn't gotten it out of my system...I went to Lake Tahoe. The plan was to become a ski bum, but instead I ended up with a rock 'n' roll band called Childproof. We developed material that I had written in my travels, along with some tunes by Andre Mistier, my college friend and lead guitarist for the band (Childproof's 'Evicted from the Birdhouse' will be available on cdbaby soon, and Andre is releasing a record this year, too. More on that in the future...). We gigged, toured, and -- when we were on -- rocked. Mostly we learned, especially Andre and I who were backed by an older and more experienced rhythm section. As Childproof's history came to a close, we toured through Portland, OR, and I found a new pace to call home.(Don't worry, I'm getting to the part where I explain why I'm living in Italy)In Portland, I found the kind of music community I had always hoped for. Singer-songwriters galore, excellent accoustic music, and all the rock, funk, blues and jazz you could hope for... With in a month, ...
