Introduced to me from fellow blogger Olivier and then reminded by Trini, Colby Stead has a new recording project that is in its preliminary stages, but promises to grow beautifully. If the below description on the website says anything, it is the overall essence of what they are creating: Brown & Blue, earth and sky. Different, but a duo nonetheless. One, floating above, colliding with clouds, trying not to fall. The other holding still, deeply rooted, reaching high. A combination of color, a mixture of [...]
I've just started this without words section for writing about instrumental tracks... I was planning to share one of my favorite instrumental track from Colby Stead : A Thought . When by the twit of my fellow Trini, I've been directed to Colby's last video : Purity . For the reading of one post, you'll have the best of both worlds : two tracks mightily suggestive. Artist : Colby Stead Label : Thoughtfull [...]

Here we are with more great lists, lists of great music and from great friends. The good folks over at You Crazy Dreamers (of which I blog for as well - check us out!!) have provided a list of some solid music from the last year. The list while put together from Olivier, with input from the team that includes Laura, Martin, Trini and myself. Despite the fact that we span 4 countries and 2 continents, we still connect on a regular basis if for nothing else then the sharing of great music. But [...]

I can't say that I know of any more music or "discover" more artists than any other person who is actually looking. I say this as a good friend of mine Olivier over on You Crazy Dreamers guided me to one of his personal favourite artists in Colby Stead. I have to say thanks for it now after getting a chance to listen to Mr. Stead and finally seeing what I was guaranteed was there. I wanted to post on Colby Stead as not only is he a very talented [...]
Of all the available ways of expressing ourselves, Colby Stead singled out nakedness. His songs are barely dressed, merely a few guitar notes. At times they are warmed up by a female echo, sometimes by a moving cello or the breath of an accordion. In this way, he serves up an appetizing variety of 'crudités' for curious minds. Today, by creating Mytunes, M. Stead offers us the possibility to crunch the apple once again: a collection of songs and spoken word you can download for 'What's it worth'. Among these gems we discover his two latest [...]
Rich ! It's the first word which surfaced from my mind when thinking about sharing with you my emotions after 3 months long of perusing the third collection of my favorite Utah songwriter : Colby Stead. ' So It Goes ' is an intense and comfortable patchwork of Colby's amazing talent. Based on a close canvas than his previous album 'No', most of the new tracks are delivering new colors and opening vast territories ; some paths recrossed, some discovered. Rich, I'm rich. So, in the right catholic path that I've been teached ; [...]
Performed at Velour Live Music Gallery on March 14th 2008 . Artists : Colby Stead / Joshua James
I'm a bit anxious today ; I'm eagerly awaiting for Kelley McRae new album to be released. 19th of August was the deadline. Yes, I know it was today. I've connected the amazon.com album page early this morning - a page i've been visited at least a thousand times these last days expecting any publishing errors allowing me to buy the precious digits... And, at about 7.30, the buy option finally displayed ! Hip Hip Hurray ! Youpi Ya Youpi Ya Yeye !!!! - it's a translated version of my current 'I've got it' hymn ! [...]
Finally my dear friend Olivier (which you can count me in on one of those fingers) has decided to write about this extraordinary singer. It's been months now since I was introduced to Colby and I've often asked Olly why he hasn't written about him or introduced him to the rest of the readers. I too understand his reasoning, we often come across people who we become friends with and the music then transcends into something different. It's because we've gotten to know them on a personal/intimate level that the soul of that person comes before the [...]
