Gina Villalobos new CD "Days On Their Side"

It's our first sponsored event! Music Fog is getting ready for the California tour with Elliot Randall and Gina Villalobos, and so we are going to bring you review of Gina's 4th CD, which just came out. She of the reedy voice, and that wonderful tough -yet vulnerable dichotomy. You might recall that legendary BBC announcer Bob Harris heralded her 2005 debut Rock N Roll Pony as "a contender for album of the year." Villalobos music is informed by her California childhood, and the stuff her parents turned her on to from the 70's, Willie and Waylon, Kristofferson, and Ronstadt. Her music resonates with the tunefulness, the attention to craft, plus brings an Alt. sensibility that anchors it firmly in TODAY.
