The cd has been spinning all morning. My conclusion: “What a wonderful cd!!!! Fine lyrics, great voice, fine musicians, great arrangements, well produced !!!!'Martin van der Laan'Country Stew Radio Show, The NEATHERLANDS
the CD is killer.;I already listened to it at least 10 times in 24h !...the selection of songs is more than perfect ..it shows the incredible talent of this master ofmelodies...each song is a musical gem ...Randy's ability to write killing melodies reminds me John Fogerty's ...they are just a few able to do that...vocally , instrumentally it kills you...my enthusiasm is beyond words...so merci for sending me Randy's music..it made my day believe me... Mike Penard-ISO Radio-France
Randy Thompson's latest cd, no matter what style of music you like this is one cd that in my opinion should be in any music fan's collection. I can't stop playing it, the more I hear it the more I keep playing it, lol. If you like Steve Earle, Joe Ely kind of outlaw country that can rock as good as any rock'n'roller then Randy is your new man on the block as far as quality songwriting. great vocals and musicianship goes.Chris R Jackson-Americana International-UK
RANDY THOMPSON/Collected: A roots rocker that's no stranger to the road and the roadhouse, he might be a guitar slinging singer/songwriter at heart, but this distillation of his last 15 years shows he knows how to amp it up. A collection of fan favorites, don't tell me people don't know what they like because this plays like a cohesive statement as opposed to a stew pot of moments. A very direct writer that knows how to stop and appreciate Utah Phillips and Steve Gillette as well, if you want something off the beaten path that you can venture into fearlessly, this set has some shrink wrap waiting for you to crack open. Check it out. Midwest Record-Entertainment & Reviews

“Anything worth loving is worth fighting for, and Erisa Rei has come on the scene swinging” is a quote from the Spring Hill, Tennessee roots rocker’s website bio. She proves this statement with each of her ten, self-penned songs on the new album, “Black Ball,” where she has mastered the one-two combination: Stun the listener with power, then, knock ‘em to their knees with vibrato.
Led by a production crew including Mike Kyle and Brent Hendrich, and released on the Pesky Fly Music label, this CD is Rei’s emotional ride, singing just what she feels. She can turn it on full-throttle with Wynonna-esque gusto, and a flickering falsetto keeps her vulnerable. Opening with a Rolling Stones’ struttin’ vibe in “Gypsy in the Desert,” she follows up with her title track, and its biting lyrics: “I watch the black ball as it bounces/Out from the eye of your icy stare/Skating down off of your shoulder/Finding warmth outside the snare/Keep on rolling, keep on rolling/Black ball of blame.“Swing Back to Home” takes it down a notch, and Rei gives a dynamic and compelling performance with a most attractive longing in her voice. Killer stand-out – her a-la-Sarah McLachlan piano ballad “Like Dominoes” – once again shows that knack for writing striking imagery: “Thought we had it together/With our roots set in the ground/Thought you loved me better/But one push brings the whole thing down/Oh, like dominoes/Row by row/Our love is falling down the line/Like dominoes.Multi-faceted styles are revealed here. Rei’s got a playful side (“News to See”), a whispery quality with lovely chorus phrasing (“Pushed”), a soulful delivery backed by pads of organ (“Be Gone, Winter Long”) and even a chug-a-chug-a train shuffle (“Cannot Change”), which make her an exciting singer to hear.by Janet GoodmanMusic News Nashville Visit the artist’s website atwww.erisareimusic.com
One of the most anticipated days of the year in my household is the announcement of the Sasquatch Lineup. It's been a family tradition to head over to the Gorge every Memorial Day Weekend for Sasquatch.
Lots to be excited about on this lineup! I'm most looking forward to Jamey Johnson, Bon Iver, Vintage…
