RadioIndy is pleased to present Zhonray with a GrIndie Award for the CD "Ultimate I & B"

RadioIndy is pleased to present Zhonray with a GrIndie Award for the CD "Ultimate I & B"

The 70's ushered in a genre – soft rock, to take the place that easy listening once described: relaxed, polished and melodious music for adults who preferred their background music comfortably familiar. The soft rock moniker eventually gave way to adult contemporary but the aesthetic remained the same. "Ultimate I & B," a veritable "best of" CD (compiled from 3 previous albums) by Zhonray is a fine example of this genre, reminding listeners of adult contemporary finest practitioners (Air Supply, Seals & Crofts, America, etc) without losing its own identity. Lush synthesizer flourishes on "In the Shadow of Fallen Love," while Zhonray delivers spare and tasteful guitar fills such as the Spanish guitar runs on "Golden Sands." Take note of the subtle conga interpolations on "Blossom Hill," or relax to the sounds of nature on "Summer Rain," or even a hint of Chris Isaaks-like tremolo guitar "Shine Your Smile on Me." Zhonray swathes its sedate tunes of the trials and triumphs of love and romance on their "Ultimate I & B" CD in arrangements that go down like the proverbial taste of honey.

"Heading Back Again" by Bob Peck (Easy Listening Artist from Massachusetts(MA))

"Heading Back Again" by Bob Peck is a charismatic acoustic collection of beautiful, easy listening songs which reflects Peck's favorite places to travel and the inspiring personality they bring to him. His songs will take you to places like the Florida Keys or to Mexico and his lyrics replicate these timeless adventures. Peck is creative and his songs bring a refreshing taste of easy listening music with a wonderful style and grace. As an acoustic production the guitar is crisp and clean with nice clarity. "She Came To The Cape" is a bouncy tune with an easy flowing rhythmic beat and laid back lyrics that compliment the vocals. Peck's vocal ability reaches down deep with full bodied flavor as you can hear on "Wind In My Sails" and "Fate Will Take You." Your mind and body will relax to the uplifting melodies of "Heading Back Again."

"Echoes" by Journeyman (Easy Listening Artist from The United Kingdom)

Journeyman, who is artist /composer Nick Constant, releases his first solo CD, "Echoes," which is comprised of melodic and interesting collections of Classical/World Fusion flavored with an exotic flair. Constant's travels have taken him to Africa and the Middle East and he has creatively crafted a collection of easy listening songs using the various tones and sounds of his experiences. His song titles reflect the beautiful mosaic of arrangements Constant delivers throughout his album. A soft, calming effect imbues "Sunrise," as the sounds of slow flowing water cascades around an acoustic guitar playing a sweet lullaby melody. An angelic voice on the title track, "Echoes," delicately rises above the chiming church-like bells in a relaxed, orchestrated production. Creatures of the jungle come to life in harmonious sync on "Equator." Take a journey to the Middle East on "Sands of Time" and become a part of the syncopated rhythm and relax to a soothing voice. Unwind and enjoy the peaceful sounds and melodies of Journeyman's CD, "Echoes," as it will take you to a place of quiet serenity.
