Good vibes!

It’s tough to be completely original in music; I get that. There are so many bands and so many styles that virtually everybody is going to end up sounding like somebody else at one point or another.
What I don’t get is this: If music is truly your passion…why be afraid to explore that passion? Why not step out of your comfort zone, and see what’s up with your talent? Why not give yourself a chance to really fly?
It’s easy to use the same “formula” of a best-seller over and over. I get that, too.
Some people though, take that formula (or is it an excuse?) to the extreme, and basically make their fortune off other people’s sounds. The “best” of the bunch rip off several bands in the span of one doggone album, and sometimes within the same song.
Other people, like THIS GUY, takes it to a whole new level by raising the bar. He’s been honing his craft for more than a minute, with the same passion he started out with. You can actually HEAR his passion for the music in every song. The un-enlightened sometimes make the mistake of labeling him an “overnight success”.
Don’t believe the hype.
Truth be told, THIS GUY has paid his dues, and deserves our unbridled applause. He’s not allowed anyone associated with the music industry to put him “in lay-away”, and he’s remained true to his passion thru thick and thin. Don’t believe me? Check out the music for yourself right here. Don’t forget to share …

you have crated an originally addictive genre, desperate to emerge and beautiful to behold…

The album name “It’s Alright” is not true, “It’s all great!!” This is a download worth your time. Great music, Fantastic vocals. The time and effort that went in to this album is obvious. Good job Leo!! Looking forward to more.

Bluesy, rockin’ electric guitar . . . very nice . .. easy to listen to . .. great vocals and with such delightful, upbeat, positive lyrics . . My feet were continually tapping to the energy and lovely beats . . The singer (or singers) has an excellent voice that lends itself well to these bluesy rock songs.
This music brought me back to the 60’s, and 70’s . . . r&b . . . the whole mood of the times . .. smooth yet full of edgy warmth . . . Perhaps the song that moved me the most was “My Friend” which touched me . . .. I really enjoyed the part of “Me, Myself and I” where the guitar took over . . . not too loud or overly exuberant but filling in the blanks with the same attitude as the over-all personality of the music . .
Over all this was a delightful album . . . quite a surprise as I haven’t run into much of this style on Jamendo or heard one of this genre done with such expertise . . .
Thank you, so much, for sharing these excellent productions

One thing I’ve learned about streaming music through the Jamendo widgets is that if you run hot mixes you better have an audiophile sound card because if you’re using a standard pc motherboard type for streaming hot wav files will definitely distort.
Here is my ReverbNation widget with the Mp3 files loaded at 128Kbps for those of you who are not audiophiles and want to get a closer listen minus the distortions.
Cheers!
