It's often incredible to believe how much healing power an artform like music has. It provides determination, willpower, comfort and shelter to those individuals going through severe health problems of any thinkable nature even in the hardest of times, helping them so much on a conscious and unconscious level.
 
For a musician, especially, to get music taken away from them against their will, when health problems arise, is a massive blow, as one would expect. But someone like Ryan McGarvey, one of the most talented and loved Blues/Rock guitarists and singer/songwriters of this generation, he did not let health adversities to take music away from him and kept on fighting for almost seven years until regaining again, thankfully, full use of half of his body, allowing the American ace guitarist to start playing again and, most importantly, starting working on writing and recording new material from his own base camp in Albuquerque.

It's uncommon, in these days and age, to find artists willing to push the boundaries of their music to a point where, together with their inner talent, they just rely on their instinct and on the natural flow that they see only in their minds, perhaps even playing with their eyes shut, so to immerse themselves further into the music that is pouring out of their souls.
 
To us at Bluebird Reviews, it was an indescribable joy to discover an artist that describes the aforementioned concept so well and in full, like the Danish Violinist and Composer Bjarke Falgren does so beautifully on his brand new album recently released and called Turkis (Turquoise in English).

When Music becomes a fundamental part of our lives, among its many positive effects, there is that one related to freedom of expression, that liberating feeling that helps people to channel their emotions and release them to the world, a special power that only Music is able to trigger.

For the last 15 years, Music and Blues Music in particular, have been a real catalyst for the American singer-songwriter and Harmonica Maestro Chris O’Leary, an artist that has lived and still lives quite an intense life on and off the stage, with Music being a loyal and trusted companion that keeps on fuelling his many artistic talents, helping him, at the same time, to share his endless tales of relationships gone wrong, military experiences (O'Leary served as a Marine in the Gulf War) and unfortunate judgements through his impressive vocal skills and on playing harmonica.
