Maragold

undefined

Product Description ------------------- The 4 piece band features world renowned guitarist Greg Howe, whose chops have graced the likes of industry heavyweights Michael Jackson, Justin Timberlake, and Rihanna. Maragold s lead singer Meghan Krauss has been described by industry insiders as the best female rock vocalist to come along in a decade. Her charismatic soulful rasp can be heard on songs such as Evergreen is Golder, Story's Ending, and Lullaby. The remaining band members include bassist Kevin Vecchione and drummer Gianluca Palmieri. The album s musical influences range from raw classic rock to timeless pop. The two distinct musical elements at work in Maragold are Krauss s powerful, often raw vocal delivery, balanced by the creative and well crafted song writing of Howe and Vecchione. The final result is that Maragold presents the listener with a compelling and powerful new rock sound. In fact, you may find that you can't turn your stereo up loud enough. Review ------ As a long-time Greg Howe fan, I can say that it's about time for some more of his music. This latest effort is nothing short of amazing. For his fans, this is more like his work from Howe II - a tight band that blows out great songs. Of course, Greg's solos are featured in every song, but the instrumental interplay, Meghan's vocals, and vocal harmonies make this an intense musical experience. Several songs are more straight rock and roll, but even those have some of Greg's jazzy lines in them. Other's like Lullaby and Cry are a little jazzier with a rock feel. Several songs get so intense they may give you goosebumps. Highly recommended. --
