Vince Gill | Time To Carry On

What music can do. It can give you energy, it can supply you with adrenaline, it can calm you down or make you aggressive. And it can comfort you. Country star and super guitarist Vince Gill has released one of the most beautiful and touching consolations on the 2006 4 CD box “These Days” …

Brad Paisley | Make A Mistake

Als When Brad Paisley released the album “Mud On The Tires” in 2003, he was still quite far away from superstar status, his popularity as a CMA Awards host, Grammys and private jet. In the early 2000s, the smart guitarist and singer was still considered a country talent …

Keith Stegall | Hard Luck Café

Some songs take you on a journey. With just a few chords, takes you somewhere within a few bars: to a sunny beach, to a pulsating big city – or like here: to a shabby dive at the ass of the world into the “Hard Luck Café”. Keith Stegall is the tour guide of this sad folk ballad.

Joshua Hyslop | Echos

That voice. A woman? A man? Clearly, that can’t be said when she finally appears after several bars at the song “Home” as if from far away. Joshua Hyslop, who owns this warm and unisexual voice, is a singer/songwriter from the Canadian prairie state of Saskatchewan.

Tim McGraw | One Of These Days

A piano. Violins. A carried mood. A slender guy stands in the video in black jeans, black turtleneck sweater and a little too big Stetson in a church, in which the sunlight falls dramatically through coloured glass windows … and Tim McGraw, that slim guy, as a dark angel.

Tracy Lawrence | Used To The Pain

Big songwriting. A few sentences, short and straightforward like Hemingway’s – and you’re all there with him. In the storyteller Tracy Lawrence.

Although “Used To The Pain” serves typical country clichés – loneliness, highways, lost love – the track written by Mark Nesler and Tony Martin gets to one’s heart.

Restless Heart | When She Cries

A very personal pearl: "When She Cries" by the country rock band Restless Heart. A formation, which was compared with the Eagles again and again with polyphonic singing and cuddly harmonies and had its great time in the 90s. But also: a band with first-class...

Ed Gerhard | The Water Is Wide

It must have been like that in 1998. I had to go to Nashville for a music magazine for the Summer-NAMM. A musical instrument fair. Fairs are known to be exhausting – but sometimes also enriching. Especially the evening program has its charm with its many concerts. Of course, this also applied to this industry meeting in the Music City USA.

Lee Ritenour | No Sympathy

Be careful, kitsch alert! “No Sympahty” from the 1981 Lee Ritenour album “R.I.T.” comes so soft and gentle and, okay, snivelling that a pack of handkerchiefs should be within reach when listening to it.

ZZ TOP | El Diablo

Somewhere I read that Jimi Hendrix was an early fan of Bill Gibbons, the guitarist of ZZ Top. It’s easy to imagine. The full-bodied musician plays an impudently cool and bluesy guitar. An absolute master of reduction.

Jess Roden Band | Can’t Get Next To You

A voice like a force of nature. Black, powerful, soulful, bluesy. Everything there. Nevertheless, Jess Roden from the British Kidderminster, who in reality is quite white, remained an absolute insider’s tip throughout his career – which, after all, started in the mid-60s.

Keb Mo | The Reflection

As a four-time Grammy winner, Keb Mo can’t exactly be described as an insider tip. Nevertheless, Kevin Moore, as the singer, guitarist and songwriter, who was born in Los Angeles in 1951, is bourgeois, is probably the most popular name among music connoisseurs and colleagues.

Hirth Martinez | Love Song

Mid-1970s, late ’70s. I still wanted to be a drummer and bought every album one of my favourite drummers played on – cracks like Steve Gadd, Jeff Porcaro and Carlos Vega. So I came across the Los Angeles-based singer and songwriter Hirth Martinez.

Bebel Gilberto | All Around

Daydream? Bebel Gilberto invites you with her album of the same name, released in 2004. As the daughter of Bossa Nova star Joao Gilberto and singer Miucha, Isabel Gilberto de Oliveira, as Bebel is called, absorbed her Latino art with her mother’s milk.

Tom Scott | Maybe I’m Amazed

Tom Scott may still be my favorite saxophonist today. Not because he would have such a breathtaking technique at his disposal – he probably has, but I can’t judge it – but because he simply plays incredibly beautiful melodies, and in addition dynamically and rhythmically stirring.

George Benson | Star Of A Story (X)

The 1980 George Benson album "Give Me The Night" could be raved about almost any of the ten titles. No wonder, since there was a very special summit meeting in the Californian Kendun Recorder and Cherokee Studios ... George Benson at his best. Producer Quincy Jones as...
