	Randall Bramblett Hailing from Athens (Georgia), this southern singer/songwriter�s 7th solo release titled "Now It�s Tomorrow" is a bit more rootsy, funky faced Rock than his previous album "Rich Someday from two years ago. He wrote most of the songs himself together with his good friend guitarplayer Davis Causey, produced it together with Gerry Hansen and i have to honestly admit this masterpiece has the sound, musicianship, lyrics and songs to make it as my favorite album of the year this far ! If you�re not familiar with his work in the past you should be ashamed of yourself, imagine the best of Marc Cohn and Josh Kelley combined together and you know what he serves in your plate. I asked Randall a few questions about his work in recent history with Steve Winwood and Roger Glover, here�s what he had to say ........read more

	Kyle Vincent When they should make a movie about the L.A. strip during the early 80�s and how it envolved into the ultimate glam/party/hair metal neighbourhood they should cast Kyle Vincent for the main part cos this friendly guy was a witness to it all. Not that his band Candy (on MCA) was a glam band, it was more PowerPop/Rock outfit but Kyle and his three partners went through all the stories and famous muscians around Sunset/Hollywood and Santa Monica Blvd in it�s heydays. On top of that after Candy he had a very interesting solo career which represented pure AOR such as the recently released "Trust" album who was on a self in the basement catching dust for the last 15 years ! Nevertheless it finally saw the light of day and i�m sure i�m not the only one who was looking forward to that almost forgotten event. Kyle had not much luck in his career so far but after all he stayed a funny, kind, wonderful singer/songwriter with a die hard passion for his San Francisco Giants and the will to never be too tired to reveal fantastic stories .... say no more, read on ..... ...read more

	Ari Hest We at Melodic.net always support the most gifted and talentful melodic singer/songwriters in todays overwhelming world, whenever it is in AOR, West Coast, FM Rock or Pop/Rock, whatever you wanna calll it. Throughout the years there�s been so many, some vanished from the face of the globe, some really made their trademark and even some stood the test of time. But somehow there�s always room left for new or surpringly new names that i wasn�t beware of. Let�s take this Ari Hest guy, another brilliant songwriter with 6 (!) albums on his haystack before this fantastic "Break-In" release this year. I honestly gave up on him after i couldn�t track down his website but funny enough thanks to the Donnie Iris site i got hold of the friendly Ari who was kind enough to respond to the following questions ..... ...read more
