To the listeners of A1 Artist Spotlight .Com

A1 Artist Spotlight .Com is going through some changes.
The website is going to be scaled back.
The spotlight show will only have a post on Thursday and Friday for now.
Tuesday’s show will have a post and three or four songs from past
spotlight artist.

I will now be doing phone interviews with the artists.
So each spotlight show will start with the artist talking and then the music.
The songs will still be played back to back without any interruption between them.
The shows will probably go up to 30 minutes and give you far more
insight into the artists and their music.

Thank you for all your loyal support.
I hope this will to be an even better show for you.

The Muggs - White Boy Blues
The Muggs are a three piece band that kind of reminds me of punk rock but a little more refined. The vocals also seem very familiar like a band I’ve heard before but just can’t put my finger on it. I keep thinking Whitesnake or Great White but that’s probably wrong. If you can figure it out please let me know. The Muggs will be a spotlight artist in the future.

EL84 Doing “One World” in the spirit of Uriah Heep mines an organ – is that possible ? Today I was listening to EL84 doing “One World”, the more I hear that song the more there is to like. The dreamy start with the growing earth, the acoustic guitar, soft cymbals, as each instrument is added the song grows more complex. As it should but this is more than most rock songs would do. In ways it reminds me of Uriah Heep in there days of dream weaving like “Demons and Wizards” and Magician’s Birthday. Wile the lyrics tell a good tale the music keeps moving forward with a felling of something more coming thou your not disappointed with what your hearing now something better seams to be building. Then a solo that is good but kind of short, well I would like more it’s very pleasing. After that we go into a slow tension part that’s nice but doesn’t really go anywhere. While the song ends for me on kind of a low note the song as a whole is very good.

I could do another post just on the lyrics, also good in a Uriah Heep way.
