Canadian
singer/songwriter Ian Thomas looks back at his catalog with the newly
released album "A Life In Song." It features newly recorded versions of
some of Thomas' most well-known songs like "Painted Ladies" and "The
Runner." The new album was recorded with the 70+ member Prague
Philharmonic Orchestra.
The new
twelve-song release showcases Ian Thomas' maturity as he delivers his
iconic songs in a different light as in "To Comfort You" and "Little
Dreams." The release also contains a brand-new song, the gentle, lush
delivery of "So Cold In The City" as Thomas comes to terms with
mortality. Thomas breathes new life into "Hold On," which became a hit
in 1982 for Santana and also "Right Before Your Eyes," which was a hit in
1983 for America. The album finishes with the orchestra coming through
on the big, exciting delivery of "Pilot" and the adult pop tones of
"Long Long Way." To find out more about Ian Thomas and his latest

Jazz/Pop
Fusion band Monkey House is celebrating the release of their new album
"Left" with top ten debuts on the U.S. and Canadian iTunes Jazz charts.
The new album was arranged by Monkey House brainchild Don Breithaupt and
used Steely Dan's "Aja" and "Gaucho" albums for the blueprints of this
new release.
Beginning
with "My Top 10 List," Monkey House locks into a jazz/funk groove that
sets the tone for the rest of the album. They continue with the high-powered
energy of "When The Kid Comes Home" and "Tango By Yourself" that will
have you moving. Sandwiched in the middle is the smooth tones of "It's
Already Dark In New York" that allows you to relax your mind. Don's
vocals shine on "Maybe None Of This Would Have Happened," before
finishing with the horn-filled swing of "Death By Improvement" and the
blues/jazz of "The Art OF Starting Over." To find out more about Monkey
House and their latest release "Left," please visit their Facebook page
