Stargunn – Making Up For Lost Tracks With Ammunition (2003)


Before Shooter Jennings became the Southern Rock Outlaw he is today, he was walking up quite a different road. Stargunn, the first band he recorded with, was a far stretch from what we know and love him for now. At times it’s like a punk alternative to the whole Southern Rock genre. Then again, we all need a kick in the rear sometimes. Wake us up a bit, not allowing ourselves to be too pleased with what we came up some 40 years ago. Keep the music alive, really.

Beyond The Blue – Beyond The Blue (1990)

Beyond The Blue - ST (front)BEYOND THE BLUE is a project from the Netherlands by session guitarist & producer Le Bolderdijk [Bolland & Bolland, Robbie Valentine, Anouk, etc] and male vocalist (despite the name) Emile Den Tex [Face To Face]. This is a ‘studio’ band, that’s clear from the first note: perfect musicianship and immaculate crisp production are the key on this album. But also the good songs.

The style of BEYOND THE BLUE is elegant Lite AOR + european adult rock & pop + a spice of westcoast. First track “Atlantic Summer” has a TOTO / Chicago vibe all over it, with some horns and floating synths. “More Than Ever Before” is a jewel of a song, a captivating midtempo AOR featuring a great guitar work, subtle & precise. Emile Den Tex has a very smooth voice wi
