DOUGLAS E POWELL - THE STILL AND WEST -
Douglas E Powell, has a style which puts the listener into an instant mood of relaxation, the guitar playing and delivery of his latest CD, initiates a feeling of calm and fulfilment. Despite the laid-back feeling of many of his songs, this is not an album of boring, sleep-inducing lyrics, there is potency and a delightful window of life’s various experiences. The CD has the ability to first, give you a feel-good experience, then listen again and find the strength and quality of the lyrics.
While the philosophy of Leeds Music Promotions is to showcase and promote the local music scene and its many talented performers, we feel this singer-songwriter from Devon is deserving of a mention, in the hope that he will visit our musical broad acres in the future.

CD REVIEW - "BUTTERFLY IN REVERSE" - WATERLAND
Very, very rarely a CD is released which, after listening to it, leaves you embraced within a deep glow of enjoyment and enrichment. Such is the Waterland CD “Butterfly In Reverse” The evocative voice of Jon Palmer and musicianship of Sam Barratt, combine to give the listener a collection of songs, which touch the subconscious recesses and trigger deep thoughts and feelings. The CD is reflective, as in the song “Down By The Sea,” defiant and inspiring with “Resurrection Man” and superbly harmonious with the title track “Butterfly In Reverse”. Without any glimpse of a weak song, and complete with production, of the very highest quality, this must surely be one of the CD’s of 2007 and beyond.
