"Beatlesque One" by Alan Bernhoft (Classic Rock Artist from California (CA))

Alan Bernhoft has captured the style and feel of the legendary British pop band "The Beatles" with his appropriately titled album "Beatlesque One." His approach is remarkably reminiscent of the early Beatles style while at the same time fresh and original, paying homage to the group but spinning the music is his own creative and unique way. He portrays the atmosphere of the 1960s immediately and effectively on this album with "Keep Your Hands Off My Baby," a stunning opener that perfectly encapsulates the sound of the era that fused British pop with American rock-n-roll. The songs are well-written and skillfully produced, with clever arrangements and spirited musical performances. Listen to his stylish and accurate vocals on the lively and cheerful "Playdate," and his almost eerie resemblance to the lighthearted side of Paul McCartney on "Sunshine Girl" and "Someday ('08 Mix)." Another highlight is "Winter Ocean Mary Go Round ('08 Mix)," which is symbolic of the style of John Lennon. Bernhoft's introspective writing displays a truly uncanny resemblance to many aspects of The Beatles music, capturing their essence in both spirit and sound. Fans of The Monkees, The Beatles, and 60's rock will find "Beatlesque One" incredibly appealing.

"Stay Groovy" by Totemzombies (Classic Rock Artist from Mexico)

"Stay Groovy" is an impressive instrumental rock EP put together by Mexico City four piece Totemzombies. As the album title suggests, the influence of '60s psychedelia and the likes of Jimi Hendrix and Frank Zappa is well apparent, as these guys turn out one rhythm heavy jam after another. The entire band is tight, and they understand the relationship of their instruments. "Stay Groovy" is a very raw sounding album, as the band recorded it live in studio. You'll enjoy the fact that the band lets you hear their music as it is. It's essentially how it would sound if you saw Totemzombies live, since each track appears to be done in one take and at times seems to be improvisational. "Watermelon" kicks things off with a grooving bass line, banging drums, and wailing guitar solos. "Cameleon" slows things down a bit and features more incredible guitar work. "Butterfly" closes things out with a quirky guitar riff and some nice work on the drums. With "Stay Groovy," Totemzombies are trying to keep the psychedelic movement alive through stunning guitar riffs and all-out jams. If you like '60s psychedelia and a tight instrumental rock sound, "Stay Groovy" with the Totemzombies.

“Rockabilly Boy” by Richie Copalello (Classic Rock Artist from Illinois(IL))

"Rockabilly Boy" is a country/rockabilly album with blues elements from Richie Copalello. With "Rockabilly Boy," Copalello digs deep into his multi-instrumentalist repertoire as he plays the drums and guitar on each track, as well as the harmonica, organ, piano, and slide guitar. His vocals, musical styling, and lyrics combine to create a nice musical medium between country and traditional rockabilly. He sings about drinking, dancing, and pick-up trucks and is capable of singing like traditional rockabilly artists or with a crooning country twang similar to Conway Twitty. Copalello put a good deal of effort into making the album sound vintage, and the listener could easily mistake this album for coming straight out of the 1950s. "Whiskey, Whiskey" is a playfully bitter song, as Copalello sings, "Whiskey, whiskey, I thought you was my friend." "Slippery Shoes" is a straight-up rockabilly song, lyrically and musically and makes you feel as though you should be surrounded by poodle skirts. "These Words" effectively builds to a nice 2-part harmonized part that has that authentic 50s sound that is a trademark of this CD.. Overall, "Rockabilly Boy" is a good album that shows Copalello's impressive musical talent, and that uses creative production to capture the sound of decades past. Fans of '50s rock music and rockabilly music, check out "Rockabilly Boy."
