I am a big local music fan in the Portland area. Most bands I frequent have a female lead vocal singer. A bass player named Brian Cutler played with a number of musicians in the area. At one point he decided to go out and make his own album. I picked up a copy at a show. I took it home and played it a couple times and put it on the shelf. One day I got it back out after I had played every other CD I owned to death. After a few more passes I prolaimed the album genius! I started looking at the credits and realized the thing was loaded with different musicians and singers I knew on almost every track. Brian's vocals take a little bit of warming up to, but once you realize what's going, every track has something special that keeps you listening.

Brian's album was produced under the Wrought Iron Record label of Nicole Campbell, who I have been a long time fan. I mentioned this to Nicole and she took the idea further with the next artist on her label, Dave Rummans. I highly recommend his music as well.
