"Funkmeister" by Hugh Jarvis Hitchcock (Pop Artist from Florida(FL))

Hugh Jarvis Hitchcock and his debut CD, "Funkmeister" is an album that spans fluently across many genres. At some moments it's urban and jazzy, other times it's 80's music with some world beat flare. Female vocals, keyboards, and a drum machine make for some smooth, catchy, and fun songs. The album is best represented by the track, "Out of Control," as it has a fast paced world drum beat, jazzy saxophone, and a funky bass line that really moves. The stand out single is "All I Know" as this song offers a slower moving beat with soft and sweet vocals. "Funkmeister" will surprise you at every turn, from its ever-changing genre, to samples of George W. Bush speeches and is definitely a great album to hear if you're looking for a variety of music with vibrant rhythms.

"American Peace" by Tapped (Rock Artist from Michigan(MI))

"American Peace," the 2009 album by Tapped is a mix of original rock and roll even the Fab Four would be proud of. Taking their influence from a range of artists such as The Kinks, Cheap Trick, and even Bill Haley and The Comets, this group creates an album with vibrant melodies and lively rhythms. Clean vocals garnish some straightforward but solid lyrics. Tracks like "Roadhouse Paradise" show off some serious bluesy musicianship. Others like "But I Need You" and the CD opener "She Said He's Dead" are driven powerhouses. Tapped has compiled a wonderful collection of music which pulls blues, country, new styles and old to create a fantastic sound all their own.
