 A sampler that truly does its job. August 16, 2010
J. A. Pirie
After listening through this sampler a couple of times, I have a burning curiosity to hear more from each one of the artists represented here. Every track on this album is, in my opinion, well above average. There's a certain mellow, acoustic vibe throughout, but not a single song here could be categorized as "lite" or "soft". Each piece has an appreciable heft and edge to it in the best possible way. Bravo!! Thanks, Amazon!
 Musical influences here and there June 24, 2010
R. DelParto (Virginia Beach, VA USA)
Ryko: Flash of Light is a sample compilation of nine eclectic songs by a host of the most prolific artists on the record label that range from acoustic folk rock, blues-country, and melodic pop - Thea Gilmore "Dance in New York," Leslie Mendelson "Turn it Over," Sam and Ruby "This I Know," Jupiter One "Flaming Arrow." Indeed, this album showcases each musician and band that I had not been familiar with before but glad I am now.
And for avid listeners who hear each song, subtle musical influences may linger and possibly lean towards already well-known bands and singers. Although each selection is distinct one cannot help but to compare or parallel each to Son Volt, the Jayhawks, John Hiatt, Sarah Mclachlan, Carole King, and several others that may breathe through each song because of the melodies and lyrical contents that are unforgettable after hearing them for the first time and after continuous listens. Overall, this is yet again one of those albums that may be best played in the car, with the volume up, and the windows completely rolled down.
News Flash - Ryko gets it right... May 28, 2010
Dabraat (Virginia)
I enjoyed this sampler a great deal. After hearing it I bought every Matt Duke album available and even went to see him live. I have also bought more by Justin Currie (who is the former lead singer of Del Amitri), Will Hoge, and Thea Gilmore.
Great singer/songwriter coffeehouse fare. Give it a try on a long walk. You'll enjoy it immensely...
Wonderful Collection April 8, 2010
J. Hu (Bay Area, CA)
I just LOVE this collection of songs!!! The voices came out very clear. I have to say that their recording technicians did a great job.
My personal favorites are
- Even If It Breaks Your Heart (Will Hoge)
- This I Know (Sam & Ruby)
- Turn It Over (Leslie Mendelson)
- What Is Love For (Justin Currie)
- Dance In New York (Thea Gilmore)
I may change my mind about my picks, but overall I think this album is the best free download I got from Amazon. Thanks!
