No stranger to the music scene, John Batdorf has served up another outstanding CD, titled "Old Man Dreamin'," with all the power and punch this artist has to offer. Batdorf uses his vocals, which are strong and possess a soothing quality, to create generous helpings of folk/rock music while he also laces this disc with his sweet acoustic guitar flair. This mixture of eleven songs is packed with energy and catchy lyrics, as you will hear on "What D'Ya Got" and "That Don't Seem Right To Me."

"Someday" by Caroline Gilmour (Soft Rock Artist from The United Kingdom)

Caroline Gilmour's debut CD, "Someday," is simply an excellent example of female-fronted heartland rock played with fire, conviction, and the kind of passion that keeps rock 'n' roll vital. Both in her voice and straight-up rock style, Gilmour, despite being Scottish, actually recalls such North American artists as Melissa Etheridge, Heart, and Sheryl Crow (among others) over 12 songs imbued with Classic Rock-like melody and drive. The album opener, "Be With Me Tonight," for instance, gets things off to a rocking start with a power-chord-backed chorus worthy of any of Pat Benatar's best hits, while the infectious "After All This Time" has a hook that's tailor made for adult oriented rock play lists. Drawn from personal experience, the singer-songwriter's taut and emotionally charged songs such as "I Thank You" and "Before I Can Fall," also find their mark, due particularly to a powerful backing band at one with the material and the vision behind it. While she may be a newcomer to the scene, don't expect Caroline Gilmour's terrific CD to go unnoticed; "Someday" is here for fans of Classic Rock as polished as it is raw and untamed.
