Brian McAlonie is a gifted singer/songwriter and multi-instrumentalist who first stepped into the spotlight as founding member of Made In Austria and Box of Red, two bands that effectively twisted pop, rock and country music for their own original purposes. As drummer and vocalist, McAlonie recorded five well-received CDs with these popular New York-based bands before striking out on his own in the late 90s to devote his energies to songwriting. With the 2003 release of his first solo project, Naked Scuba Boy, McAlonie assumes a leadership role and the transformation suits him as he displays his talents as singer, acoustic guitarist and harmonica player. Directly personal, Naked Scuba Boy's guitar-driven rock-infused music draws you in and McAlonie's insightful lyrics seal the deal. McAlonie came early to music. He grew up surrounded by his uncles, the Mastren Brothers, Carmen (rhythm guitar), Al (trombone) and Johnny (bass). "My uncles toured and recorded with Glenn Miller, Johnny Hartman, Chubby Checker - when you listen to the original recording of 'The Twist,' you'll hear Uncle Johnny playing bass - and even backed up the Marx Brothers and The Three Stooges," he recalls. "I started playing drums at age 13, and it was the thrill of my life when they let me sit in with them. My Uncle Carm played with Woody Allen at Michael's Pub in NYC each week - in fact, the night Woody won an Academy Award for Annie Hall, he didn't attend the ceremonies because he had a gig with my Uncle Carm." McAlonie taught himself to play drums by listening to the radio, playing along with recordings and watching performances on TV. "I wanted to play rock but didn't have the patience for the rudiments, the rigidity, of lessons," he admits. In college near Buffalo, NY, McAlonie founded Made In Austria, featuring himself on drums, and sharing vocals and songwriting with other band members; they released three CDs, Big American Music, Ed's Barber Shop and Two Cows South, the latter co-produced by John Lombardo (10,000 Maniacs, John & Mary). MIA performed up and down the east coast (Toronto, Washington D.C., Chapel Hill, NC and in Athens, GA, highlighted by NYC gigs at CBGB's, The Bitter End and The Knitting Factory) sharing the bill with 10,000 Maniacs, Big Head Todd and the Monsters, The Del-Lords and The Subdudes, among others. Following the break-up of MIA, McAlonie soon formed a new alternative rock-pop quintet, Box of Red, which released two CDs, The Stillwell Sessions and Architecture of Secrecy, inspiring critical acclaim such as "the kind of intelligent, sophisticated pop sorely missing from today's airwaves and album charts......sterling musicianship" (Jim Catalano, Ithaca) and "a band to watch" (Buffalo News).Naked Scuba Boy was produced by producer, arranger and drummer, Gary Burke. The two musicians met a few years back when Burke produced several songs on McAlonie's third Made In Austria release, and forged an enduring relationship. "Gary's a songwriter's drummer," says McAlonie, noting Burke's extensive touring and recording credits with Joe Jackson, Bob Dylan, Shania Twain, Graham Parker, Garth Hudson, Rick Danko and many more top-tier artists. "Gary brought a sage's sensibility to the record," McAlonie adds. "Since Naked Scuba Boy was the first time in my career I wasn't playing with an established band, Gary hand-selected a group of respected, seasoned musicians to compliment my voice, acoustic guitar work, and most importantly, my songwriting." The result, an engaging hybrid of modern and traditional rock, is energized yet unaffected. With a dozen tunes, in styles recalling the 60s and merging into the 21st century, Naked Scuba Boy captures the sound of an earlier era in a contemporary setting. "We recorded almost everything using vintage analog studio gear," says McAlonie. "The result, strangely, is a fresh sounding record."Burke, who plays drums, percussion and occasional piano and synthesizer on Naked Scuba Boy, called upon bassists

Whereas Alice Cooper's first two studio albums, 1969's PRETTIES FOR YOU and 1970's EASY ACTION, tended more towards the trippy excesses of the hippie era, their next one, 1971's LOVE IT TO DEATH introduced the world to the heavy sound that Cooper would soon be taking to the top.

"Rocky Mountain Way," the tune that opens Joe Walsh's sophomore release (and remains one of his best-known songs), is a textbook example of Walsh's strengths. The song is driven by a slinky hard rock groove that boasts crunchy, distorted guitars, barrelhouse piano, wiry solos, and a catchy, singalong chorus--proving Walsh's penchant for mixing rock elements and radio-ready accessibility with a sense of wit and ...

CD $21.00  SALE 5 stars Top 100 Audio Samples
Comprised of 18 tracks culled from the singer/composer's first three decades, The Very Best of Enya was pieced together by the artist herself, along with longtime collaborators Nicky and Roma Ryan. Luckily, the trio seems enamored by most of the same songs that the general public is, resulting in one of those rare "greatest-hits" collections that goes deep without depriving the listener of the essentials. With tunes like "Orinoco Flow," "Caribbean Blue," and "Book of Days" in the pot and out of the way, it's easier to appreciate hidden gems like "Cursum Perficio," "Boadicea," "Trains and Winter Rains," and "Anywhere Is." Also notable is the inclusion of "May It Be" and a previously unreleased version of "Aníron (I Desire)," both of which originally appeared on the soundtrack for the first chapter of Peter Jackson's beloved Lord of the Rings trilogy. ~ James Christopher Monger Comprised of 18 tracks culled from the singer/composer's first three decades, The Very Best of Enya was pieced together by the artist herself, along with longtime collaborators Nicky and Roma Ryan.

For her sixth record--aptly titled SALTBREAKERS--Laura Viers crafts a 12-song cycle with every number either lyrically or sonically referencing the ocean. Songs expand and withdraw with a mesmerizing, tidal effect that draws the listener in from the first measure. Viers's impeccable production choices and versatile, stylish vocal delivery are enrapturing, and spike the proceedings with enough aural hooks to keep the oceanic tone from ever getting tired. Featuring star axeman Bill Frisell, SALTBREAKERS is an easy-on-the-ears stunner. Listening to Laura Veirs is like looking up into the night sky and suddenly witnessing a meteor shower: there's something startling and magical, both intimate and awesome, about her songs. The nature-obsessed images Veirs conjures up and the mesmerizing sound she creates are as indelible ...
