There’s a lot more soul in modern country than there was in the output of previous generations, and this goes for country-rockers as much as it does the folky country crooners. Matt Westin and Tennessee Outlaw Country are taking the rock-influenced path with their smashing new country single “Ghost Train” this March, and to say it’s without a soulful lead vocal would be to admit not listening to it at all. Westin’s been getting a lot of attention for his gilded pipes lately, and after listening to this, I can’t say that I don’t get it. The guitars are rocking…

Originally from Los Angeles, 3B Rich now plies their trade in Las Vegas, as a Jackson 5 tribute act. The Motown Extreme Show is their day job, but their real passion is their impending record. Much like The Jackson 5, the brothers that comprise 3B Rich come from a musical family. Their father was also involved in the music business, so things always seemed to be somewhat written in the stars for 3B Rich. Of course, the name has its rather obvious connotations as well. The new single by 3B Rich will be included on their upcoming and yet to…

I felt that…

Starting from the first beat forward, nothing is stopping Leol from sounding like a natural superstar in the new single “Time,” perhaps his most melodic and complete show of melodic strength thus far. Although the song features quite the minimalist aesthetic in terms of its arrangement, the vocal that Leol lends every verse is nothing but sweet indulgence, begging for us to come closer to the harmony with every word he utters. This isn’t the only song on his debut album worth looking at, but if you’re looking for a simple performance that essentially summarizes who this artist is from…
