The renowned public relations company compiled this album and clearly somebody there has the ears of an A&R man. It's full of tracks from well known figures like Kevin Max (the song "Seek" here has already got CR airplay) while other high profile names include Everlife, Blessid Union Of Souls, Stryper, Manic Drive and, for a complete change of pace and approach, Joanne Cash dueting with her late father Johnny. There are also several cuts here from pretty unknown artists ranging from the mediocre Robbie Oster to a fine young band from Tallahassee, Florida, Canopy Red. Also recommended is the song "Oh Yeah" from the group from Lubbock, Texas, Thirty-Nine Thoughts. If you're looking for a good cross section of American pop and rock this carefully chosen selection will do you nicely.
