Tasty Bits on the new Blue Stone album

Due out this year is the third offering from electronic/pop group Blue Stone. The album is called "Messages". Returning on vocals are Sheyenne Rivers and Samantha Sandlin, with new appearances by Sara Bloomfield, Sarah Day and Veronica Gunter.

And finally, listen for a guest appearance by Bridin Brennan, youngest of the family that brought us Moya Brennan, Enya and Clannad - her intricate vocals combine with the Blue Stone "sound" to create something quite unique on the upcoming album.

No release date has been announced yet, but we'll keep watching for ya.

The Carothers Machine

I've been in close contact with Kori Carothers during the process of recording and mixing and mastering her new album Trillium. All I can say is that this woman is a superhero. It amazes me how she fulfills her calling as a mother and wife while simultaneously creating the incredible music that you'll hear on her upcoming CD, collaborating with other musicians and vocalists, flying back and forth to Will Ackerman's Imaginary Road studios for recording/mastering... whew. I need more coffee just typing this.

Props to Kori, who's prepping for one final East Coast trip this month to wrap up things on "Trillium". If you haven't sampled some of the new tracks, be sure to tune in to Radio Mystic, or check 'em out on Kori's website. This album can't arrive fast enough!
