Tad Boyd: Chill! The ice age is coming!

Tad Boyd takes a new perspective on the global warming issue, serving up chilling irony with two new songs, Ice Age" and "Love Me Tonight (The Ice Age Is Coming)," both now available on Rocketpoll. On this third day of Spring where we have snow in Seattle, it certainly is easy to understand Boyd's point of view!

Ice Age" is a hard hitting rock tune with slicing guitars and a solid driving beat. In "Love Me Tonight," Boyd returns to his romantic flair, with a warm Beach Boys type harmonic vocal, tenderly imploring the object of his desire on "the last night of our lives." Check out both songs on Rocketpoll!

Sure Bet on Ratliff Bailey with "Don't Go Gamblin'"

Ratliff Bailey's latest on Rocketpoll is Don't go Gamblin', another straight ahead rocker from the Ironton, Ohio duo. The song contains their characteristic guitar and vocals and a wistful lesson on knowing what you're getting into. Check it out on Rocketpoll.

Ratcliff and Bailey step up with "Hey Boots"

"Hey Boots" is another raucous, rocking contribution from Tim Ratcliff and Ken Bailey on Rocketpoll. This track from the duo, on the universal subject of the undeniable male desire for female fashion footwear, features more rocking guitar licks (no pun intended) including a searing (although brief) double lead solo. Check it out on Rocketpoll!

Evolution of Tad Boyd - No Pigeonhole for This Artist!

Tad Boyd continues to excite with his new song "Where Do I Pay," on Rocketpoll. The song with its driving rock beat, metal guitars reminiscent of Eddie Van Halen, and ironic lyrics is a departure from what we're used to hearing from Boyd. With "Pay", Boyd breaks out of his original stable of mellow vocal-laden folk rock songs such as that "You're Not Alone," and "Back On The Farm." Keep an eye on Rocketpoll and an open ear to this obviously versatile and adventurous new artist!

New contributions from Lawton,Tanzu

Perennial favorites Vern Lawton and Tanzu have each posted new jazz instrumentals this week on Rocketpoll with Lawton's catapulting immediately to the Number 1 spot.

Lawton's contribution is Where the Desert Leaves the Sand which he describes as "Jam in A with an Arabian feel." The song is a ten minute journey through a jazzed up Arabian landscape, powered by Lawton's adventurous drums and percussion, his band's textural keyboards, and solid bass playing. Truly a trip with taking.

Malibu Rain by Tanzu is a mellow, cool journey taken with a light fender rhodes and soulful stratocaster tones. Another nice venture worth seeking on Rocketpoll this week. See you there!

New posting by Ratcliff and Bailey: "Calling Off"

Just posted on Rocketpoll is "Calling Off" by Tim Ratcliff and Ken Bailey, a biting rock piece for anyone feeling enslaved by the world and by life. As usual, Ratcliff and Bailey hit hard with heavy guitars and a hard rock rhythm. A great guitar solo with some great pounding hammer-ons appears about midway during the song. Great work! Check it out on Rocketpoll!
