Thom Schuyler should be Poet
Laureate!!! My fondest memory of
Thom goes back to an evening at The
Bluebird when he sang his "16th
Avenue" as Bob Dylan. I remember the
days of SKB and SKO and those
magical songs. This long awaited CD is
a blend of the lyrical and melodic along
with Thom's Silversteinian humor. I can
never look at a Hummer without
hearing his take on the most
pretentious of vehicles and who could
pick up a drink without feeling
sympatico with "Too Drunk." In these
days of cotton candy songs, Thom
Schuyler is a breath of fresh air and
should be compulsory listening for
wannabe songwriters. This gets a 1000
points out of 10!!!

Danny's career spans four decades
and his songs have been recorded by
the likes of Elvis Presley, Judy Collins,
Leon Russell, Willie Nelson, Waylon
Jennings, Jimmy Buffett, Jackson
Browne, Alison Krauss, Ben Harper,
Cab Calloway, Mark Almond and he
has written with Dylan. He even had a
big hit himself with "Goodtime Charlie's
Got The Blues." So you can tell that we
are talking quality here. Since 1971,
he has only released 10 albums of
which only three have emerged this
decade. There's an old saying..."if you
like.....then you'll like..." In this case, if
you like Randy Newman, Michael
McDonald and James Taylor then you
will like Danny O'Keefe. Go visit
www.dannyokeefe.com to learn more
about Danny. Like Thom Schuyler, he
is a National Treasure.

For some 25 years, Blue Rodeo is the
Country Rock band that has been at
the forefront of the genre in Canada.
They have racked up a great fan
following and multi million sales as well
as numerous awards. If you remember
the movie "Postcards From The Edge,"
then it Blue Rodeo that appear at the
end of the film. Yet they have never
broken through in the lower 48 and
that is the U.S.'s loss because they are
damned fine band. This mix media
compilation is a great way to get to
know Blue Rodeo.
