The
Security Project has definitely enjoyed performing the music of Peter
Gabriel and Genesis to sell-out crowds all over the world. The musicians
involved with the band are a little more experienced than your typical
tribute band as some have played with Peter Gabriel and other prog-rock bands like
King Crimson. The Security Project have released two former albums
simply titled "Live 1" and Live 2." Now the band skip ahead to release a
new album titled "Five" which features for the first time, the voice of
singer/songwriter Happy Rhodes.
The new
five-song release, features four Peter Gabriel originals and one song
from Kate Bush. The album begins with one of Gabriel's most popular solo
hits "Games Without Frontiers" as Rhodes' vocals mimic the song's
originals, while the music sweeps you away as it pushes past the
8-minute mark. The new short release continues with "No Self Control,"
which originally featured Kate Bush's vocals, as Rhodes handles the
vocal duties with ease. The Kate Bush original "Mother Stand For
Comfort" fits in perfectly among the other Gabriel classics, before
finishing with the pounding beats of "Rhythm Of The Heat." To find out

Soulful vocal artist Billy Valentine recently released a new album of
cover songs titled "Brit Eyed Soul." Valentine is best known as the
voice of songs on "Sons Of Anarchy" and "Boston Legal." Now he dives
into a dozen well-known tracks from some of Britain's biggest hit makers,
beginning with the Rolling Stones' "Beast Of Burden," which carries an
R&B/funk groove that fits Valentine's style perfectly. His vocals
set the mood with the sultry ballad, "Do You Really Want To Hurt Me" and
the smooth delivery of "More Than A Woman." He turns John Lennon's
"Watching The Wheels" into a seventies funk gold, then pays true respect
to The Beatles with an beautiful soulful rendition of "Here, There and
Everywhere." The album finishes with the perfect match-up of Billy
Valentine's vocals on Elton John's "(I Guess That's Why) They Call It
The Blues" and the cool jazz/funk rhythm of "(What's So Funny Bout)
Peace, Love and Understanding." To find out more about Billy Valentine
