Artist: Teresa James & the Rhythm Tramps - Wind Cries the Blues
From the opening notes of the bottleneck slide to the first entrance of her gutsy, soulful voice, it’s clear that Teresa James knows where she’s going.. ‘Oh Yeah’ is another fine workout from this LA stage and studio veteran. Funky and greasy, where New Orleans meets Texas Blues and everyone has a good time. These two quotes say it all: “Teresa James is a true original. When she sings you can feel it in your bones.” (Levon Helm) / “I’ve been a fan of Teresa’s singing for a long time” (Bonnie Raitt)

Artist: LeSel - British Invasion
Self tought, lead guitar player, total improvisation. This is the first time I recorded and it has the british precep on lead guitar on the amp thats why I called it BI..

Artist: Urbanhood - Summer Heat
Lil’ Let us introduce you to “Urbanhood” a new and creative sound originating from the Central Westcoast of Florida. Although the giants of the music industry (Los Angeles, New York,Atlanta, Miami,Nashville,Memphis) have their own place in music, the little known corner of West Central Florida will soon be making a buzz in the music world. The group “Urbanhood” is one of those groups pioneering an effort to introduce the world to this fresh new sound. Their music is sexy, sultry, funky and smooth. The first single release Summer Heat (Parts I and II from the CD titled “Streetminded”) will have you hitting the replay button over and over again to experience that musical love affair you developed from hearing it for the very first time. Along with this single “Urbanhood” has added a bonus single for your listening enjoyment an instrumental entitled “You Ride.” It’s a Jazzy instrumental that smoothly takes you on a ride that encompasses one the many facets that the Urbanhood sound possess. So if you are ready to experience something fresh and new, music that will make you feel good rather than feeling mad, heartbroken and vindictive. Try a prescription of Urbanhood I am sure you will feel much better.
