Kevin Wilson, Thieves Among Us
With Thieves Among Us, Kevin Wilson has recorded a consistent pop-rock album. The disc was produced by bassist/keyboardist/vocalist Robb Valier, a producer Wilson has an obvious musical rapport with, as they’ve created multiple projects together. This album’s best song is … Continue reading
Kevin Wilson, Rise Up
Rise Up is Kevin Wilson’s (mostly) blues album, and it contains a comfortable style for the singer/songwriter/guitarist. The project includes multiple varieties of blues music, with Wilson’s plain, but passable singing voice, performing this collection of mainly original songs. The … Continue reading
Bogdan Ota, Day of Wrath
Bogdan Ota’s music sounds a lot like Yanni recordings on Day of Wrath. In fact, the music made by this pianist from a little town in North-Eastern Romania sounds quite dramatic, if not the actual soundtrack for some actual day … Continue reading

Fallingice “Meatsuit”
Fallingice is a hard rock trio from Italy. However, you might never guess that from listening to Meatsuit, which is one powerful slice of beef. This isn’t chopped liver, oh no. Instead, it is high grade steak. The act’s centerpiece … Continue reading
Mister Link “Do it in the Name of Love”
Thomas Link makes meat and potatoes rock & roll. The songs on Do it in the Name of Love are not fancy pants art rock songs. Instead, Link, who performs under the stage name Mister Link, sings it just like … Continue reading
Kevin Wilson “Saturday Sessions”
It’s a little strange for Kevin Wilson to finally put out a CD that features his singing voice. He may not be a vocal showcase by American Idol standards, but he nevertheless sings just fine. Maybe he’s shy. Perhaps he’s … Continue reading
