Kicking off with their raison d'etre "Rock 'n' Roll Party in the Street," Offering proved to be the moment of glory for Florida's Axe. That single remains a great slice of heartland party rock, and the rest of the record ably falls in line. While the quaint "Video Inspiration" berates artificial imagery, "Jennifer" serenades a screen star; but Axe doesn't let such cerebral quandaries get in the way of booty-shaking boogie like the smoking run-through of Montrose's "I Got the Fire" (later covered by Iron Maiden and Rest in Pieces) and the summer-in-the-city riot selection "Burn the City Down." "Holdin' On" falls in the ol' reliable "love 'em and leave 'em" category while "Now or Never" is the kind of blatant Top 40 bid heavy bands used to sneak onto records that resulted in the twilight era of AOR, which backfired into groups attempting to be as intense as their album artwork and spurning the radio. Axe offers an innocent, innocuous, and endearing escape, conjuring muscle cars and convenience stores; thus these sincere soldiers of the '80s delete bins deserve preservation on CD. ~ Whitney Z.

For Gamma's debut on Elektra, the band picked Mickey Newbury's "Wish I Was" and Hollies/Linda Ronstadt songwriter Clint Ballard Jr.'s "I'm Alive," when maybe Newbury's "Just Dropped In (To See What Condition My Condition Was In)" would have been more appropriate. As far as Ballard's contribution goes, ...

“In Concert for a Cause” is a compilation of Marcus Johnson’s live performances at local venues in DC,Maryland and Virginia. Partial Proceeds from each CD sale go to the YMCA annual funding campaign, also know as "Building Bridges." These funds help families who might not ordinarily be able to afford YMCA programs to do so. It's what we do at Three Keys Music. It's a movement. Marcus JohnsonNationally-known smooth jazz keyboardist Marcus Johnson has personified the independent spirit. While working on his JD/MBA at Georgetown University, Marcus decided to independently produce and distribute a jazz album. The product of that decision, Lessons in Love, launched his career as both a jazz musician and CEO of Marimelj Entertainment Group, LLC (MEG). Almost a decade later, Marcus’s foresight is undeniable. Lessons in Love went on to sell 40,000 which is a phenomenal success for a debut album by a relatively unknown artist. Marcus has continued to solidify his success in the recording industry with 8 Billboard chart-topping jazz CDs and sits at the helm of a rapidly expanding independent record label. Buoyed by the success of his debut album, Lessons in Love, Marcus released his sophomore effort, Inter Alia, to critical acclaim. This led to Marcus signing a record deal with N2K Encoded Music. N2K renamed the album Chocolate City Groovin' and re-released it under the N2K label. When N2K was sold, Marcus was able to reclaim his rights to his masters (another amazing feat) and, again, started releasing CDs under the Marimelj Banner. Since then, Marcus has released six (?) more albums, including Just Doing What I Do, In Person: Live @ Blues Alley, Smooth Jazz Christmas and he will release The Phoenix in February of 2007. Marcus has also released ...

Big Hit In India CD release is John Ford’s latest musical sensation! Conjured up within the past year the album centers around a universal element of life - Love. Taking you on a journey that emulates the highs and lows that everyone will discover something within each song they can relate to find themselves playing over and over again. ABOUT JOHN FORD: Vulcans, Velvet Opera & StrawbsEarly projects include The Five Proud Walkers, where John got his start. Then on to Jaymes Fenda & the Vulcans landed John Ford, his first Major Label signing with Parlophone/EMI and pop hit 'Mistletoe Love,' also becoming known as a teenage heart throb at age 16! John Ford joined Elmer Gantry's Velvet Opera to complete the lineup, signing to the Repertoire label. Somewhat psychedelic, sometimes confused with Pink Floyd when they opened for Pink Floyd, Elmer Gantry’s Velvet Opera created a cult following with 'Flames,' 'Mary Jane' and other absurd claims of "brain washing the audience with strobe lights…" in the press. In later years, EGLO became known as the Velvet Opera.Strawbs & StrawbsJohn Ford’s unusual percussive style of bass playing caught Strawbs leader Dave Cousin's eye during a performance at Dave's folk club in Hounslow and John joined the Strawbs in May 1970. John Ford's influence with the Strawbs, primarily known as a Folk Rock group, shifted into a new direction in the Prog-Art Rock Scene. John penned perennial favourites, 'Heavy Disguise' and 'Part of the Union,' which became the Strawbs’ biggest Chart Hit at 2, included on the album, Bursting At The Seams. POTU, spent 59 weeks on the album charts, rising to Top of the Pops fame, also released as a Single. Working with Producer, Tony Visconti (Bowie / T-Rex) on A&M. John Ford received three Gold and Platinum Records, to boot. Hudson-Ford A few years later, John Ford and Richard Hudson left the Strawbs and formed Hudson Ford. Releasing yet two more Top 10 Hits - 'Pick Up The Pieces' at 8, along with 'Burn Baby Burn' and 'Floating In The Wind' also on A&M. Nickelodeon, Free Spirit, When Worlds Collide, Repertoire and Daylight. To note - the US version of Nickelodeon has 'Burn Baby Burn' in place of 'Solitude' which appears on the UK version, in addition to many Singles with International versions.The Monks vs. High SocietyIn 1979, found John Ford hitting the Charts again. This time with The Monks, a punk project of sorts Hudson, Ford and Terry Cassidy combined together with Clive Pierce on drums, Hud was then playing bass, leaving John free to play guitar) to produce ...
