"Not Just Ragtime" by Ross MacLachlan (Jazz Artist from Ontario, Canada)

Get ready to boogie woogie to "Not Just Ragtime" by Ross MacLachlan. This album is packed full of foot tappin', smile enducing songs. Mr. MacLachlan is a veteran of Jazz festivals and venues around the world and his piano skills are superior. The album offers original tracks as well as a few classics. The musicianship and recording quality are very good. All together this album is a ton of fun. Highlights include "Kidd's Boogie," with its great horn arrangement and cool breakdown. "Possum and Taters" is the true classic as far as ragtime goes. "Let 'Em Jump" is down home and dirty with a nice deep rolling boogie bass line. If you like Scott Joplin, you will love this one.

"Will Work for Money" by Gregg Koval (Rock Artist from Ontario, Canada)

"Will Work for Money" by Gregg Koval is a fun collection of rock songs. Gregg's clever lyrical plays on words had us laughing throughout the CD. The combination of these clever lyrics and Gregg's knack for writing memorable choruses, will leave you with some repeatingly funny themes in your mind after listening to this CD - Go ahead, grab a handful and help yourself to these tracks. The music on the CD is solid as well, especially the guitar playing. "Knocked Up" was one of our favorites, with a catchy upbeat groove and a memorable chorus that had us cracking up. There's even some financial advise on the CD, with "Line of Credit." If you're looking to lighten up your day with some good tunes and good laughs, check out this CD. (Mature Themes).
