Liz Foster

CD: Indecision - Liz Foster covers the emotional scope on Indecision meeting the mystery, pain and love of life head-on. From the title-cut to Looking for Helpful Clowns she shows her professional and saleable talents. Her poetic delivery on cuts like Without a Piece of You, will entice even the un-poetic into a new listening pleasure for the classic art of poetry.

Gerina - Gerina

A versatile jewel.
Whew! Gerina! Gerina Di Marco. Gerina’s unique style and voice blast off on her CD Gerina.
A most entertaining blend with just great rock beneath it all spiced with a little pop-Latin-disco feel but not enough to ever over-power that great rock sound.

Off to a kicking start on Blind. Wow, she moves from one brilliant performance into another. Next comes, Blink of an Eye, what a hit. She’s fun with a sexy voice and represents everything we like to hear. High’s and lows, energetic, great beat, you wanna listen, you wanna sing along, you wanna dance and you wanna love as hard as she does. Gerina hits the hard rock on You Can’t Break Love, almost a new entity sneaking in the AC/DC back-door telling us this lady is pure talent. Then whoosh, the bottom drops away on I Don’t Blame You and the Latin angel re-appears in an emotionally-felt requiem. Oooooh, Never Ends, has a light Latin-pop beat and it is good and it works and it flies back into rock. More of Me is more of the above. Most of the last tracks are in Spanish and work beautifully in accompaniment. We get it, even if we don’t speak Spanish.

Outstanding vocals, obviously talented producers, and a smashing band behind her. Gerina is to be heard.

Kathy Greenholdt - Wisdom Days

Greenholdt’s journey into mid-life will carry you where you need to go. Music and lyrics that find their way to your heart as it makes its own crossing of the wise woman’s threshold. Exploring lifelong love, regret, old age, dying,

Her band, The Edsel Brothers, provide the perfect accompaniment as together they roll smoothly toward deepening resonance penetrating the soul and all of our innermost secrets.

The title cut, Wisdom Days, is probably the lightest listen in this collection, as Greenholdt probes deeper with each successive song. Waiting for a Sign, closes the exploration, reminding us all that we must complete our own individual journey. 
 

Wisdom Days is not an easy listen but a necessary one for any woman's journey.

ALBUM COVERKathy Greenholdt - Guilty Game

You don’t have to be in Texas to sing country, or new country, or new-folk-country, or any of the genres this lady falls into . . .

Kathy Grenholdt’s title cut, “Guilty Game,” is one of those songs that grabs you as soon as you hear the intro, taking you ‘round and round,’ with Greenholdt’s earthy tones, soothing guitar, and dreamy vocal quality.

Final Judgment, rings not only with acoustic prowess, but with the wisdom of a seasoned life, "You judge me for my silence, but you cannot judge my soul.” This woman knows. Nice harmonica on Their Faces, and The Wedding March has the feel of an old, mountain song depicting two lovers on their special day.

A late-bloomer with a petite Elfin-like appearance and magical song-writing abilities, Kathy Greenholdt began playing, writing and singing at 38 and in two years has not only proven herself as an accomplished musician but as a woman on the rise, watch for her, we will feature her soon.

Marie Gray - Aeglechylde: Daughter of the Sun

This CD moves quickly from uncertainty to profound intensity. Gray's appeal develops with an understated approach to songwriting, evidenced in only one other comparable, Kristofferson. She will draw you in, ready or not. Job's Child, The Ghost of New York City, Sweating in the Night--create and fill a void at the same time. Subtlety soul-stirring. Regrets? Only that I didn't listen sooner.
