ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT THE MUSIC BUSINESS
"ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT THE MUSIC BUSINESS" by Donald S. Passman is THE #1 BOOK that any aspiring and/or established recording artist should own and read thoroughly, several times.
Written by one of the world's top entertainment attorneys, it has insight that most attorneys working for the record labels would rather the artist does not know!
With the exception of how to actually make music, this excellent book covers nearly every other aspect of navigating through the shark infested waters of a music career and how to avoid being bit while covering your bases.
If artists are not equipped with this vital information, artists may still "succeed" on the airplay and sales charts because their music is something worth being exploited by a record label, but without understanding the cold hard facts in the fine print of production, management, recording and publishing contracts and other types of agreements, the greatest artists may fail financially and in their lives.
If your music has "it", then you better read this book!!! It's never too soon to read this book. It's a great gift for anyone considering a serious career in music. GC

Annmarie Cullen - Outstanding Balladeer
Outstanding Balladeer, Annmarie Cullen, has that something special that you just can't quite put your finger on, but you just know. She sings directly from the heart and whether she realizes it or not, she has hooks for days. She is part of a group known around LA as Saucy Monky who has a free track entitled Pink Flamingos for download on MusicLoad.Com
However, on her own, Annmarie is in a class of solo artists that seems to fly way to far under the radar. She happens to have no drive to self promote or boast of her excellent music as far to many other lesser artists in town never hesitate to do. This quality is what makes Annmarie all the more cool to MusicLoad.Com.
Check her out at myspace.com/annmariecullen

The Jack - Soulful Funk, Jazz Improv - Groove
WOW - We keep going back to this one cat on MySpace named The Jack. I guess the best word to describe his sound is understated, which seems to give him a level of sophistication and mystique. His sound is also tasty. It's a little deceiving at first when his tracks first start, because there is simply no glitz, as many songs these days try to achieve. The Jack and his cronies simply lock into a musical pocket. His vocals launch, often times dry, with little, if any, noticeable effects. As his track continues, one instantly realizes this is real true soul, funk, jazz improv and groove at it's finest. No licks or tricks needed.
If you groove on the soulful funk sounds of Jamiroquoi, Di Angelo, Buddy Miles or Dr. John, you might just dig The Jack.
Check this cat out at myspace.com/lojackfunk
