| | George Blakeney CD George Blakeney Discography of CDs
Coming to you right off the streets of Los Angeles, George Blakeney is not an easy character to deal with. "i'm desperate and i'm crazy" The first words expressed on the album, I think, describe George's outlook and the situation he's in. However, his charm and wit are so overpowering that it magnetizes me to him time and again. I've known George since I was sixteen years old. He turned my world upside-down and changed the way I thought about music (a big inspiration to say the least).George's fierce surroundings and daily struggles shape the tone of this album. His intense, intelligent, and sometimes eccentric lyrics provide your imagination a chance to run wild and experience a new perspective. The sound is mostly comprised of George's vintage maple archtop acoustic guitar (from the 30's I think), an old beater upright piano, some crappy Casio from the 80's, and random found percussion.Releasing this CD is a way for me to introduce the rest of the world to the genius and talent of Mr. Blakeney. It's also a way to get George off of the streets and into a decent living situation with a recording studio that provides him with unhindered creative output.The sound on this recording may come off to some as a little rough around the edges. But, considering the tedious process that George went through to get his ideas down, it's a masterpiece. For the thirteen years I've known George, he's been making music on cassette fourtracks. But on this recording, he didn't have the cash for one. The only thing available to him was a hand-me-down home CD-to-CD burning unit with a karaoke function microphone input. So he would have to record one take onto a CD then play that CD back while recording another take on a fresh CD. In this makeshift studio, he had ten zillion CD's stacked everywhere (this would give me a headache). He is very persistent and the entire album was done this way barring two songs. For those two, he had the good fortune to record by slightly better means.These songs get stuck in my head on a daily basis. Their charm will win you over too, I promise. Check out the free MP3 downloads and see for yourself. And remember, if you buy a CD you're not only getting some beautifully intense music, but you're helping a guy out.

Formed in 1996, Slow Children at Play (SCAP) have evolved in to a widely recognized, respected and requested band. Their innovative brand of music has been described as Blink 182 meets Reel Big Fish and a jam band. Their energy and perserverence has resulted in two independently released studio albums, one live album and a number of spots on nationally distributed compilations.In early 2000, SCAP were flown to Illinois courtesy of College Television Network (CTN) and Mentos (Van Melle Corporation) to open for Pink (Arista/La Face) and Stroke 9 (Cherry Entertainment/Universal).Following this, SCAP were invited to play at the Frederick Brown Jr. Amphitheater, which has hosted the likes of B.B. King, Alabama, Third Day and Drivin' n Cryin'. At the Amphitheater, they opened for Helen Reddy. This appearance paved the way for SCAP's invitation to play with the Swingin' Medallions.Meanwhile, SCAP were beginning a foray into cyberspace. Since then, they have grown on the Internet to become internationally recognized. With four domain names, free E-Mail accounts and tons of content, SCAP transfers more than a gigabyte of data each month.Their presence on the Internet has also led to a number of awards, among which are mPulse.com awards for top song (for 4 songs) and top band.

Don't let the fact that this CD only has 7 tracks prevent you from making the VERY WISE DECISION to ORDER IT NOW! Find out why Ray Charles' former drummer had THIS to say about Hilary when he heard "Out of the Wilderness":"When I first saw [Hilary's] picture I thought 'oh this cutsie blonde who's going to have a whispery voice and sing cutsie little songs. Then when I heard her I couldn't have been more incorrect. Her voice is very strong and powerful. It communicates so much in and of itself. I see artists all the time, some with potential, some without. I just knew Hilary has the proverbial 'IT'."-Billy Burns, former drummer for Ray Charles"Out of the Wilderness" is an enhanced EP that takes Hilary Scott's artistry to new heights, showcasing her talents with some of Nashville's finest studio musicians. The CD was produced by Matthew Wilder and recorded in the Wilderness Production studios in Nashville. Executive Producer is Stephen Gardner. Artists include: Jerry Kimbrough, acoustic and electric guitars; Gary Lunn, bass; Steve Brewster, drums; Kenny Vaughan and Brandon Henegar, additional guitars; Matthew Wilder, guitar and keyboard; Hilary Scott, vocals, guitar and keyboard. In addition to this CDs superb audio tracks, it also contains a delightful enhancement that includes the artist's bio, a photo gallery, and two engaging videos of the artist discussing her music and performing live at See Sound Lounge, Seattle.
