New West - Sleeping Lady
New West is a jazz trio and their new album, Sleeping Lady, is entirely composed of music from acoustic guitars. A couple of the tracks feature a female vocalist, but the majority of the album is instrumental. New West’s last album featured both acoustic and electric guitars (and an additional band member) so their new sound is a bit different than what has come before.

In Avanti is the second solo album from singer-songwriter Alexx Calise and Alexx herself forwarded us a copy of the album to review. Her music has elements of pop, rock, angst, electronica and heartbreak, but the prominent feature is definitely rock. Alexx is originally from Florida, but she has relocated to Los Angeles to (presumably) focus more directly on her music career.

Under The Neon Sky by Jay Rankin
Las Vegas is frequently referred to as Sin City and it wasn’t assigned that nickname arbitrarily. It’s an unusual place…it has all the vices you would find in a regular city and a few characteristics that are a little more unusual. Gambling is legal inside the city limits, prostitution is legal only a short distance away and the alcohol never stops flowing.
