SUZY K / AS I AM	<ACM Rating: >
Suzy K, a native New Yorker, moved with her family to Southern California at age eleven. She grew up there and found herself who wanted to be a pop singer. Thus, Suzy gave a two-song demo tape to her brother, a Beverly Hills dentist, who then played it for a high-powered entertainment attorney held captive during a dental exam. In short order, the duly impressed attorney introduced Suzy to record executive Tom Callahan, and Suzy began work on her 1996 debut album "Coast of Paradise" for the Coyote Records label. Suzy has released her 2nd album " As I Am" this summer with many remarkable beautiful warmhearted tracks such as "Now I Know" written and originally performed as a commercial song for Nissan Cedric only in Japan by Stephen Bishop. And Suzy covers "Broken Wings", a smash hit of Mr. Mister, which is arranged by Richard Page. The other songs should also be noted because of marvelous name of songwriters ; "Half As Wild" written by Mark Goldenberg with Kit Hain ( known for "Marshall Hain", the duo unit with Julian Marshall, later known for "Eye To Eye" ), "Love Has Found This Heart" written by Billy Steinberg (ex I-Ten) and Jeff Pescetto.

JOURNEY / ARRIVAL	<ACM Rating: >
Here is the brand-new Journey album just released in Japan 3 months ahead of worldwide. They are now restarting with the almost perfect album featuring 2 new members, i.e. Dean Castronovo (ex. Bad English) and Steve Augeri (ex. Tall Stories). It is a little surprise for me that this album includes not only hard-edge Journey Rock tunes but also typical Journey ballads tunes. Nine of ten Journey fans must admit that this new album is much better than their comeback album "Trial By Fire" (1996) featuring the great Steve Perry. And you should note that "To Be Alive Again" can be listened only on Japanese version as a bonus! Can you endure to wait for US / Euro release scheduled early in 2001???

RICHARD MARX / DAYS IN AVALON	<ACM Rating: >
Richard Marx's new studio recording album "Days In Avalon" is now on sale under his own label, Signal 21 Music (available through Navarre Corporation's music division, who has signed an exclusive distribution agreement, in the U.S. and Canada). As well-known, the reason Richard Marx left Capitol Records is said to be that Capitol insisted that Richard should have sweet and mellow ballad-type potential hit tunes alike "Right Here Waiting" or "Hold On To The Nights" on his former album "Flesh and Bone", which made the delay of the album release. Further, Richard did not satisfy with the fact that Capitol did not promote "Flesh and Bone" very much. On this new album, Richard does what he could not do with Capitol. I feel that the basic concept of this album should be simple arrangement with less keyboards. To be honest, I was expecting that Richard would make more Westcoast-oriented rock album like his debut album. I am obliged to feel that this album is too simple and with a little bit excessive country-flavor probably achieved by the country-field musicians such as Eddie Bayers (drums), and/or Paul Franklin (Slide Guitar). Richard's melodies are still great as he wrote "This I Promise You" for 'Nsync. Therefore, I believe Richard blow out his frustration by making this album as he wanted and I would have high expectation that he must be back with more pop great album near future.

WHAT IF / WHAT IF	<ACM Rating: >
What If is the superband comprising of Bob Wilson, Larry Williams, two ex-Seawind members and Tommy Funderburk, the voice of Airplay. The story of "What if" should be back in 1981.... After collapse of Seawind, Bob Wilson and Larry Williams met with Tommy Funderburk and started collaboration. Thus, Bob and Tommy completed an album as a special project "The Front", which was CCM album released under Refuge, Christian label in 1984. And then, Bob and Tommy formed the new band "What if" with Larry Williams (Keyboards, Sax), Larry Klein (bass) and Michael Thompson (guitar) and they actually did live performances before signing with RCA. Comparing with "The Front", this album is full of straight-hard-pop-rock music with secular lyrics. And it might be noted that Eric Persing, known for his works with Roby Duke added synthetic sounds to this album.

LE ROUX / LAST SAFE PLACE	<ACM Rating: >
In recent years, we could have reissue-CD titles of this Louisiana band including their 5th album "So Fired Up" (1983) featuring Fergie Frederiksen known later as the second vocalist of TOTO. "Last Safe Place" is their 4th album originally released in 1982 under RCA, which followed the album "Up" (1980) under Capitol Records. On this 5th album, Le Roux succeeded to reveal various style of music, i.e. the hard-driven American Rock like "Addicted", a little-bit Styx-vein tune "The Last Safe Place On Earth", a sophisticated mid-tempo pop ballad tune "Inspiration" and a little-bit Caribian-flavored tune "Midnight Summer Dream".

RANDY EDELMAN / IF LOVE IS REAL	<ACM Rating: >
Randy Edelman is now well-known for his Hollywood movie scores such as "Twins", "Ghost busters 2", "Kindergarten Cop" and so on. However, you should note that he was a good singer in 70's. It was 1970 when Randy Edelman first album "Randy Edelman" was released. In 1972 "The Laughter And The Tears" followed. His 3rd album "Prime Cuts" (1974) supported by Michael Omartian was a stepping stone of his career. After releasing the 5th album "Fairwell Fairbanks", he signed with Arista established by Clive Davis. Toshi Nakada reviews that Randy Edelman seemed to be expected to release Las Vegas Dinner Show type Middle of the Road Music like Barry Manillow, the typical successful artist under Arista of those days on his liner notes of this reissue CD. Hundred percent I agree with Toshi Nakada when I listen to this album. This album is full of good old-mid70's-pop music. If you would like to enjoy such atmosphere, you should buy. If you would expect Westcoast / AOR vein, this is not for you.

MICHAEL AND STORMIE OMARTIAN
Michael Omartian is widely known as one of the essential producers / arrangers / songwriters / keyboard players among us. However, we should never forget his solo artist career at the same time. Please allow me to look back his biography and the solo artist career of Michael Omartian here. Michael Omartian was born in Chicago on November 26, 1945. Michael started studio session works in Los Angeles around 1969. Michael married Stormie Sherric in 1973. In the next year, Michael released his self-produced first solo album "White Horse" under abc. In 1975, "On Ward" which was later reissued as "Adam Again" in 1976, followed. In 1978, "Seasons Of The Soul" was released as the collaboration album with Stormie. Since then, Michael and Stormie released 4 collaboration albums in total; "The Builder" (1980), "Mainstream" (1982) and "Omartian Odyssey : The Musical Journey of Michael Omartian and Stormie Omartian" (1982). In 1983, the live album featuring Chapters Of Acts "Together Live" was released. The 1986 album "Conversations" was a kind of New Age instrumental album. One other instrumental album "Contemporary Mozart", classical piano album was released. Between those 2 instrumental albums, Michael released another solo album "Race" in 1991.
