Tramtracks is a group of Australian musicians, most notably
Toivo Pilt originally from 'Sebastian Hardie'. Toivo formed 'Tramtracks'
and calls the style 'progressive chill'. As the band is mentioned on
the 'Yes' fan site, you get an idea of the type of music. Contains 14
tracks

Hot off the press, here is the newest cd
from Keith
Potger 'Smile Now'.
What else can I say about this prolific songwriter, except that if you have
already heard his previous offerings, you must sign up for this one!
With fans all over the world it stuns me to think that he receives very
little radio airplay in Australia.

Series 1- Seasons of Change - The Inaugural Live Gig is a cd/dvd
set containing new material from artists like Mike Rudd, Bill Putt, Trevor
Young, Bob Spencer, Brenden Mason, Neale Johns plus many more well known
musicians. Put together very nicely by
Trevor Young.

Trevor Young has a unique style of
songwriting. He played nearly all of the instruments himself, and it
was a labour of love. I can't pigeon hole this one so maybe you'd
better have a listen. Contains 4 tracks.

This is the second of
Jack McGrath's
orchestral cds, and he has ventured further into the instrumentation.
If anyone out there is looking for backing music for film pieces, in my
opinion look no further. Jack has a wonderful ear for hooks and
melodies, so I suggest you get in touch with him. 12 tracks

New release by
Jack McGrath -
'Spice of
Life'. This CD contains more of his wonderful instrumentals, but this
time his stand out track for me includes the exceptional skills of
collaborator and guitarist Brian Holloway. Brian was in
'The Dream'
with Jack. Contains 12 songs

Mick Pealing, one of our great singers,

up with two Aussie songwriters Chris Norris and
Chris Wilson, to produce this great cd 'Grand
Hotel'. As always his vocals are the icing on the cake. 12
tracks.

No wonder people are talking about 'Jumpstart
Diary' from

given it a big push but not succeeded. Believe me it belongs on the
commercial airwaves, but being independent means it hasn't a chance,

Here's a throwback from the past - The
Tol-Puddle Martyrs.
Their brand new CD 'A Celebrated Man'
sounds like it was recorded over 40 years ago! If you love
the sound of the 60's and but want something new, check this out -
definitely worth a listen. Contains 12 songs.

Ross Ryan - he of
the 'Pegasus' song, and who's name really does mean horse, has compiled this
cd of his old hits plus some new tracks. 'The

Chevrolet Ballerina' plus many more. 12 tracks. I enjoy
this new offering titled 'Queensland'.

'One Person
Queue' from
Ross Ryan contains only new original tracks including 'Cool
River' and others that his loyal followers will know off by heart. His
lyrics alone tell a story - then add to that his guitar and the wealth of
talented musicians - and you have another cd from one of Australia's great
songwriters. 10 tracks

Marcie Jones, one of the few females to
grace the stage with the pick of young male counterparts, has finally
released her solo cd 'Here I Am'.
Her friend Olivia said 'I can write songs - so can you'. And she can!
I find her songs very reminiscent of the Dolly Parton style, and you'll find
some very professional names backing her up. 15 tracks

Good on these guys! The legendary
Les Stacpool and
Harold Frith who play around Melbourne
regularly as
'Stackfull' did a stint on 3PBS,
recorded it, and released it on CD. And why not!! Of course the
recording isn't brilliant, but it's fun, and live, with a couple of
originals thrown in for good measure. Which is why it's here! 7

In between playing and recording with
'Chain', Phil Manning gets stuck into his
own material. 'Checkmate Move' is
a very different style from what I'm used to, but there will be blues
guitarists out there who will probably disagree. Anyway, this is one
of our legends stripped down to some beautiful guitar tracks and a
vocal - very folksy. 13 tracks.

Ray Burton
started in the Executives,
and went on to play with Ayers Rock
before co-writing Helen Reddy's 'I am woman'. This cd 'Blu-Azz' is therefore full of interesting hooks, melodies, great
production and great musicians. His style
sometimes reminded me of Richard Clapton, and sometimes of Santana (which
then makes his style his own). 10 tracks.

Well he WAS in the
Masters Apprentices for a short while, so
Peter Tilbrook
added to our rich musical tapestry. And what an offering this is -
over 40 years later! 'Let's go to the Movies'
is a cd of new, I repeat NEW Rock and Roll songs. Well done
guys! The track I've picked for airplay was inspired by the fact that
both Peter and Davvo had prostrate troubles. Contains 19 tracks

The first musical to get airplay on
Wrokdown radio!! It's all original, and the music written by no other
than Paul Norton, with vocals by Paul,
Wendy Stapleton, Mick Pealing and
Dobe Newton. Jungle
Book - The Concert Show
- is written by Glenn Elston,
and is one of the few musicals around not using recycled material. A
credit to the boys. 12 tracks

Don't expect this new offering from
Ross Wilson to sound anything like
Daddy Cool. His song writing has matured over the years to suit his
audience and age, with lyrics to match. He has co-written most tracks,
and my favourite is one of only two written solo.
'I come in peace' contains 11 tracks.
