Chunky Guitar Style Tone
|
Looking for a chunky guitar style tone so thick, you have to eat it with a fork? Austin, Texas axe slinger DrewV (rhymes with groovy - coincidence? We think not) pulled together some of his instrumental tracks for a CD-R compilation entitled Leddfinger. DrewV pulled out his trusty drum machine and let the fingers go for it ,as he pushes his Marshall and Boogie amplification past all reasonable points of safety. Tracks such as "Energy Light Matter" feature extended jams over medium tempo grooves, while a 'number' such as "Reefer Madness" will take your next bong hit to the next level of unconsciousness. "Moons Of Mars" actually transports you to Mars as you ponder the wisdom of leaving a green and blue planet for a red and orange planet. Get the Ledd out!
At age 6 or 7, Drew received a gift for Christmas - it was a child sized, nylon string, complete with detachable push button chord maker, shiny and brightly colored - a plastic Mickey Mouse guitar! It was semi-tunable and actually very playable, at least, from a child's point of view. He fell in love with it, and played it until it fell apart. Only years later, at age 13, would Drew rediscover the wonder of guitar music. He has now been playing guitar for over four decades, with no end in sight. Drew has completed five full length CDs, 3 CD singles, a 45 rpm single and 3 music videos ("The Shapes Of Things", "Live In The Future" and "George Harrison - A Tribute". He plays, writes, records, mixes and masters his recordings at his studio in Austin.
Current and future plans include writing and recording more guitar music and producing more music videos.

The Premiere Black Cowboy Band
|
Mike Mann Presents... Cowboy Soul is the debut CD-R released by Mike Mann, who fronts "America's Premiere Black Cowboy Band,² namely, Cowboy Soul. Mann is the vocalist, and also contributes acoustic guitar and harmonica, while Mark Drummond, who also produced six tracks, provides the primary guitar tracks. The group has many influences in their music, from rock to blues, R&B to jazz, and, of course, country to soul. Drummond delivers his leads in a tasty style, easy to digest, and always well suited to the song at hand. Cowboy Soul recently won "Best Blues Band" at the All Access Music Awards, so this is a multi-genre band whose star is rising.
Mark Drummond is a Chicago-born, Mississippi-raised, Southern California-based guitarist and producer with a funky but soulful approach to smooth jazz and R&B. His recently completed CD is "Six Strings, One Love". Mark currently performs as a sideman with Southern California R&B and smooth jazz groups. As a producer he's overseen releases for African musicians Tony Tetuila, KC Presh, and Tuface Idibia, who enjoyed one Nigeria's biggest hits, "African Queen" (Mark on rhythm guitar), featured on "Phat Girls" motion picture soundtrack. Mark also appears on contemporary gospel artist Donna McAfee's "So Blessed" CD and video to the single "I Will". With songwriting partner Aljay Boyd, he composed and produced the soundtrack for Soleil Films' "Bringing Up Baybay".
Los Angeles-based Cowboy Soul (formerly Mike Mann and the Nightriders), are currently riding a wave of popularity; both in the City of Angels and everywhere else they perform.
