This album is a wonderfully entertaining piece of work. Essentially, the entire disc is catchy pop tunes, but all of them are done in a very left of field manner.

There’s nothing Earth shattering or groundbreaking here. What’s here, though is very catchy and accessible.

Ten Years After came full circle on Cricklewood Green, achieving something they hadn't before or since, as none of their albums pack quite this sonic quality.

We get quite a bit of folk music on this album.

These guys are great.

Throwback a shot and enjoy the Suburbia sounds of one of, if not the northwest's finest power pop band’s latest offering.

This outfit from Norway have produced a nearly perfect set of tunes. 

Carol Ann Timmel hails from New York, but her roots are in the south.

The Toadies are back with the re-recorded second album that was dropped by their former label. Feeler is on par with their other releases. 

The Toadies are finally back with an album that for once in too long now, begins and ends with a fresh pallete of an abstract, yet amazingly fresh version of their sound laid down in the studio.

This CD is the second gem I have been asked to review for this issue. I read a little blurb in Classic Rock Magazine but I really did not have a clue to what Tokyo Dragons is all about. 

This is the debut for this outfit, and I have a hunch these guys may make some serious movement in the music business - at least if talent, chops and just plain coolness will still get you anywhere.

Falling In Between is the first new material from Toto in almost 8 years. Was it worth the wait, you might ask?

I was never a huge Toto fan. For some reason I’ve always been drawn to this CD, though.

Tower of Power has been creating their unique brand of soul since Emilio Castillo and Stephen "Doc" Kupka met in 1968. 

When White City was released I remember some commotion about Pete Townsend not being able to make up his mind about what the project was going to be, using a working title of  “The Deep End” for the band at one point.

Simon Townshend's album, Looking Out Looking In, is his fifth release, but marks a couple of firsts for his work.

This is a band that has been around for decades yet I don't recall even knowing of them before.

Tracer come back with a very “mean business” approach to their brash attitude and do so with grand efforts galore.

Sometimes being exceptionally original or varying things a lot from song to song isn’t extremely important.

There were always a lot of sides to the Triumph sound and different aspects seem to dominate during different periods of the group’s history.

This is the 21st album Walter Trout has been involved in recording, but he only started making solo records in 1998.

This is actually the first album of covers by Walter Trout, in what is a career catalog spanning 22 albums, thus far.

Tubeway Army was the band Gary Numan was with before he started his solo career.

This is quite a cool release. The style of the disc is hard to pin down, unless you want to just give it a generic label of “fun.”

This is sort of a killer slab of classic rock mixed with singer songwriter music.

The debut CD from northwest rockabilly group The Twangshifters is not only traditional in approach, it's also chock full of current vocal stylings from the fabulous Sara Barry.

The Twangshifters can do no wrong as they transform their new sound into a great selection of swinging tracks for this EP, which is their second release.

This is another northwest band on my radar that I find deserving of mass exposure.
