Leroy Bell - Leroy Bell Live in 3D - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Rock 'n Soul 2013 ~ Introducing the new CD by Rock/Pop/Soul Singer-Songwriter, Leroy Bell, appropriately titled, Rock 'N Soul. This is LeRoy's sixth CD and certainly his most anticipated, since expanding his global presence as a Top Ten Finalists on the First Season of the X Factor (2011). As you will hear on Rock 'N Soul, LeRoy comfortably embraces a wide range of genres. He's a passionate Soul/R&B singer, a powerful blues/rocker and equally at home as an acoustic folk/soul singer, capable of captivating an audience with intimate performances. His studio and live band, Leroy Bell and His Only Friends with bassist Terry Morgan, drummer Davis Martin and his newest InchOnly FriendInch, keyboardist, Daniel Walker (Oklahoma transplant) lay the powerful musical foundation for the sound of Rock 'N Soul.

Råhypnos is back and releases their second full-length InchWhat is Real?Inch. The critics have associated their dark alternative rock to both dark wave, neofolk and shoegaze. Despite the fact that the new record has a more stripped-down singer songwriter approach, you immediately hear that it is Råhypnos. The album was recorded in a kitchen to try to create the feeling of sitting around the kitchen table and playing together and the sound is intimate and mostly acoustic.

TWO SIDES TO EVERY STORY is the natural follow-up to Singer-songwriter Leroy Bell's acoustic-oriented SPENDING TIME EP which sold more than 12,000 copies due to national (100 stations) airplay, solid print reviews and Bell's tenacious touring schedule. Having recently opened for artists as diffuse as BB King, Al Green, Taj Mahal, Keb Mo, LeAnn Rimes, the Temptations, the O'Jays, Mavis Staples, Colin Hay, and more, Bell expanded his songwriting themes and performing skills in preparation for this recording. The album's 14 tracks reflect the artist's themes of love, humanity, social issues, and individualism in a time of political and social flux. Bell's knack for artful songwriting has an interesting history. As the youthful songwriting team Bell & James, who recorded for A&M Records and attained Billboard top ten status with their dance hit, InchLivin'' It Up Friday NightInch, Casey James and Bell are the authors of Elton John's Grammy-nominated 1979 Top Ten hit, InchMama Can't Buy You Love,Inch and John's 2004 number one UK single InchAre You Ready for Love.Inch Bell's songwriting eventually became his main focus over performing allowing him to collaborate with legendary songwriter/producer Thom Bell (his uncle) penning songs for the Spinners, the OJays, Rita Marley, the Temptations, Johnny Mathis, Phyllis Hyman and others.
