2 Exciting New Artists -2 Must-Have Albums

Johnathan Rice


Matt Costa


Johnathan Rice is a tremendous talent. His "Further North" CD has not been out of my CD changer since I got the album. He's already been named an One to Watch in 2008. I look to his album (a late 2007 release) to be named as one of my 2008 records of the year.

I have spent a few hours over the last day enjoying the songs of Matt Costa. The man is a risk-taker. Having already tasted success on 2006's "Songs We Sing" - he followed that up with some daring songs - some representing a considerable departure - in the late 2007 release "Unfamiliar Faces." The songs really work for me. I think even his oldest and die-hard fans will find Costa has broadened his world for the effort. Below you will find one of my favorite new videos of the year. I look forward to hearing more from this artist - who I am positive, now, is destined for great things.
