Introducing Johnny Solinger & Shy Blakeman


Country music is pure and honest soul,dirty to the core and although Johnny Solinger is better known as the front man of Skid Row, this man has soul and depth clear down to his toes. Solinger has recieved rave reviews from critics alike on country music row, this feat is astounding to my ears, he's turned me into a real fan. Success of a hard workin' hard rockin' man knows a thing or two of  honky tonk outlaw and rebel country music, put a gibson guitar in Solinger's hands and well get a sound that any Hank Jr. or Merle Haggard fan would love. Johnny's more than an artist and performer, he can cook; give him an apron he'll whip up his favorite mexican dish. Johnny Solinger has quite a bit on his plate, I don't hear any complaints. Leslie from the Nashville Country Club recently spent the day with Solinger, this is one interview to see, watch the video here;

 Word has it Shy Blakeman has two albums to his credits,one who hasn't heard of Shy Blakeman must be hiding under a rock.  Blakeman's recent album "Long Distance Man" is what I call a real labor of love album, one that will make it into my albums collection soon.  Blakeman is an old soul at heart and wise beyond his years. What folks may not know Shy get's a little cozy with the reigning female country queen Miranda Lambert on the song "Crying In Your Sleep" an honest to goodness feel good song. Blakeman gives his soul to his music and it will hit you like a thunderbolt,watch out cause Shy Blakeman is cruising along. What else is there?, Shy was once a Nashville Star contestant, I can't place it since I did watch the program. It'll come back to me eventually. To know more about Shy and his soulful hard hitting voice,visit the sites,you'll be glad you did.
