Joyce Wilson Nixon "In Flight"
I asked Joyce for this (her) CD at a Spy Guys TV Taping @ Club W in 2007, after she so graciously answered my request with a "Yes" (Thank You Joyce!) I promised her I would listen to it and little did I know I would still have it in 2010 and after listening to it (and enjoying it!) I would be doing a review for it on my own blog in 2010. So here we go,
Track 1 "Softly" is a smooth and sexy track backed by a sweet R&B groove.
Track 3 "Come Fly" is a slow, R&B flavored ballad that will definitely get you "in the mood" if you get my drift.
"Break Your Mind" has a nice, catchy chorus and a funky guitar solo, being a guitarist/bassist I would have liked to hear the guitar mixed more prominently.
Track 5 "Sweat" has a sexy, funky drumbeat and some tastefully played wah-wah lead guitar...the overall feel and groove of this track oozes sexuality..."Sweat" is my fave track on "In Flight".
"Envy" has a heavy guitar intro and then Joyce's sweet, soaring vocal lines take over the rest of this track, Joyce gives us a taste of her vocal ability and range.
This track has some of the best singing on the entire CD.
A perfect choice for a final track, "B-Low" has a Rap/Dance feel to it and the "D.J." (or is it M.C.?) adds some cool shout outs while Joyce sings her melodic lines about the "B-Lo"...
...FYI if you don't know by now "B-Lo" is the new nickname the kids have been using for the City of Buffalo lately.
This CD has elements of classic R&B, blues, funk, rock and jazz all topped off with some silky smooth, sex infused grooves and vocals, but nothing blatantly sexual, this CD is classy and it sounds like a "Top 40" record, yknow, like something you might hear on "KISS 98.5" or "STAR 102.5".
"In Flight" came out in 2007 so it's probably sold out, but you can find Joyce Wilson Nixon on Facebook and Myspace, being on Facebook myself I recently received an invite to 1 of Joyce's recent shows so she's still out there doing her thing, probably with a great new CD in tow.
All these songs were written by Joyce and Flick Williams.
This CD was recorded, mixed and mastered at Pharoah Productions.
Produced by Flick W. and distributed by Pharoah Productions. 2007
Thank You Joyce and The Spy Guys!!

The Great Train Robbery "Not Until The Spaceships Come"
The Great Train Robbery was/still is...? a Great Local band (Somebody Please ! tell me if they are still gigging!) who were part of a Great local original music scene that seemed to be thriving in the early 90s in Buffalo along w/Gods Children, RULE!, Jive Injection, Aceifer, Cheshire Cat, George Puleo, The Need etc. etc. ...just as the Goo Goo Dolls were getting a big push from the big boys the Buffalo Original music scene seemed to be inspired and thrived on a few big venues and some strong local radio support, namely Jessie Galante and The Fox (see Jessies blogs)...the scene was very exciting and seemed to be leading to a beneficial outcome for all the bands involved before it sorta fizzled out toward the late 90s.
My good friend Dan loaned me this CD which has all the lyrics for every song on the insert (cool!)
Musician credits are as follows...
Vincent Fossitt saxophone vocals percussion
Gregory Horn trumpet vocals percussion
David Malia lead guitar
John Caruso bass baritone guitar
Rodney Chamberlain drums
David Watts vocals guitar
Jon Mathias recorded and mixed the CD
David Watts produced and takes all the writing credits
