FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE ��" March 28, 2011

USA ��" “Three Dreamers And A Horse” has just released their debut album on cdbaby called idream The Color of Love and WOW, it’s an album definitely worth taking a listen to if you like pop-jazz. It’s smooth, it’s upbeat and each song has something special to offer. And how can you go wrong when the lead singer in all the songs is Latin Crooner, Raul Rodriquez Jr.

For those who don’t know Raul, well he’s not just a singer, and he’s not new on the scene either. He’s a drummer at heart, a multi-instrumentalist, an arranger and a producer who is currently living in Florida and has been making music since he was six years old. He may have started with the pots and pans in the kitchen, but he’s certainly one guy I’d love to see on the big stage.

What is rather new for Raul though, is that he’s been working with like-minded artists from around the world who connect both musically and creatively and this spur of new creative energy is pouring out into unexpected melodies and tunes created by the diversity of their influences. One such artist is a lyricist from Canada who’s been dubbed “Master Of Collaboration”. She is known only by Casia, a bit mysterious, but who cares, because when the two of them get together, there’s a kind of magic in the air and you know you’re going to get a great song. I mean, I would buy the album site unseen just knowing the two of them are working on it. I’ve been hanging around the underground scene long enough to know what I like and this is it.

Although Casia isn’t well known at home, she is certainly getting recognized on the international scene with her lyrics represented in international pop festivals in Bulgaria, The Republic of Moldova, Romania, Cyprus and later this year Spain, Poland and Bulgaria once again. She’s prolific and is writing lyrics for solo performers and bands from Russia to Australia and is currently in the middle of writing a mini musical.

And then there’s the third dreamer, E.G. Holmes. Well, Eddie is an idea person for sure and a romantic at heart. He creates the most unforgettable piano tunes that Raul and Casia can’t resist and it takes no time at all for the three of them to create a song that’ll have you smiling, dancing or feeling a bit hot-blooded. I’ve heard Eddie sing the blues too so don’t be surprised if the three of them do an album featuring the vocals of Eddie sometime in the not too distant future.

And talk about worldwide connections, two composers, Igor Girencho from Russia and Daniel Bozhich from the Ukraine both have a composition featured on this album. You really need to take a listen to feel where these influences come from; it’s quite extraordinary. Edward Scott Wheeldon has popped in to play lead guitar on the song Jambalya and I’m expecting that he’ll be featured in some upcoming songs as well. This group met in the virtual studio Kompoz.

I know people have been waiting for this album to come out in the stores and they started making sales within hours of it up and running as a digital album on cdbaby, so that definitely says something about their music. I’m informed the physical album will be available within the month as well so stay tuned if you want to get your hands on a hard copy. For now, check them out on cdbaby and if you like what you hear, you know what they say “support the artists who make the music you like so they can continue to do so” and so you can continue to listen to some great music. http://www.cdbaby.com/idream
