Savannah Philyaw – “Hurting You”

Savannah Philyaw – “Hurting You” – Single Review Don’t get me wrong…if the subject-matter of the heartbreak on “Hurting You” is real, I certainly feel for its author…but it’s hard not to be enthusiastically positive about the way this tune has come out in the recording.  Savannah Philyaw has absolutely got that special gift of […]Read More

Jathon Delsy – “The Karma Drama”

Jathon Delsy – “The Karma Drama” – Single Review So far today with what was reviewed earlier with the music of Aria Stone & Ken Stephenson, it’s been a day filled with artistic music – and I figure Jathon Delsy’s new tune “The Karma Drama” fits in nicely with that theme.  I’m checking this cut […]Read More
