Rock Over America reviews Revolution Rhapsody

Posted by Trudi Brown on November 03, 2012. 0 Comments

A very special thank you goes out to Melissa Martinez and Mark Lewis at Rock Over America for their review of Revolution Rhapsody  aka: Uprising Music.   

Here's a link to the article on their site:  http://www.rockoveramerica.com/Cdreview%26id=694

Here's the review (I'd love to hear your thoughts too, either about the review, or your take on the CD):

Label: CD Baby 
Reviewer: Melissa Martinez 
Date: Oct 18, 2012

Cool letter I received from Dixiefrog

Posted by Trudi Brown on August 23, 2012. 0 Comments

 HI GARY,

I’VE LISTENED TO ALL THE SONGS. I REALLY LIKE YOUR WORK, IT’S HIGH QUALITY STUFF. SURE, QUITE JIMI ORIENTED, BUT JIMI IS A GOOD MASTER…!

TWO OR THREE YEARS AGO I WOULD HAVE SAY : YES, LET’S TRY TO DO SOMETHING. BUT TODAY, EVERYTHING IS SO TOUGH… NOBODY BUYS CDS NO MORE, MUSIC IS SUPPOSED TO BE FREE, PIRACY IS THE RULE AND IT’S IMPOSSIBLE TO TRY TO DO ANYTHING WITHOUT CONCERTS.

NOW, WE’RE ONLY TWO AT DIXIEFROG (I WAS OBLIGED TO FIRE THREE PERSONS DURING THE LAST THREE YEARS) AND I’M OBLIGED TO BE MORE THAN PRUDENT BEFORE TO COLLABORATE WITH A NEW ARTIST.

SO, I HAVE ONE QUESTION : WOULD YOU HAVE ANY CONTACT WITH BOOKING AGENTS IN EUROPE OR ANY CONTACTS TO TOUR, HERE ? WITHOUT REGULAR EUROPEAN TOURS NOTHING IS POSSIBLE.
