Press Highlights * HITS online Daily Double names Green River Ordinance ‘Newly Liked Band Worth Checking Out’ saying the band “boasts strong musicianship and incredible songwriting.” * Blogcritics.com named Green River Ordinance a “Band to Watch in 2009’ * “The first single “Come On’ and the CD’s other tracks boast soaring melodies and ringing guitar lines that could warm up any crowd.” –Dallas Morning News * “It’s a welcome improvement over the current leaders of this genre, The Fray and One Republic”- Newsday * ‘The quintet is making a habit of releasing immaculately produced material with a wealth of heart.”- Popmatters.com * “Hands is littered with big, bold, no-holds-barred choruses that fit snugly alongside the band’s contemporaries.”- DallasFortWorth.com Billboard would like to call your attention to roadsinger “While Yusuf (formerly known as ) officially returned to the pop world in 2006 with the welcomed , his re-entry has now only been fully realized with the thoroughly engaging roadsinger (To Warm You Through The Night). The 11-tune collection marks Yusuf’s harking back to his /Teaser vein of reflective spiritual quest in a musical setting that is largely acoustic and intimate, recorded live with minimal overdubs. His jangly acoustic guitar rhythms buoy the time-rolls-on leadoff track “Welcome Home,” and he quotes the open of “Sitting” (from 1972’s ) on his catchy “Be What You Must,” a tune about the wisdom of seeking a fulfilled life. While Yusuf probes the dark throughout (most poignantly on the string-turbulent “Rain”), the underlining buoyancy of roadsinger is his troubadour spirit embodied in a confident faith that provides the light.” - Billboard, May 9 2009

Where YOU can catch Yusuf on TV next week: May 13: Jay Leno, May 14: The Colbert Report, May 15: Jimmy Fallon and Charlie Rose LA Weekly enjoys playing around with Puppets “[Meat Puppets] are now on a new label, Megaforce, for the release of their latest CD, Sewn Together, which is a wonderfully satisfying work that evokes classic mid-'80s era albums like . As ever, sings with a laconic drawl, even as his guitar bubbles over with madly psychedelic riffs on tracks like "Love Mountain." The Puppets ramble through bleary-eyed country numbers like "Smoke" and stretch out into stranger territory on the elegantly trippy piano ballad "Clone," where Curt ruminates about scientists "cutting up the molecules of gold" to create "the perfect sheep" who "can fly a fancy plane." Somehow, it all does get sewn together in a mix of styles that's both head-spinning and earthily rocking.” For up-to-the-minute AAA news... RIGHT ARM RESOURCE WEEKLY READER - 5/6/09
