The first thing you need to be able to support music content creators (the stuff you listen to) is a way to pay them. Recommended: Get a Paypal account. Easy easy easy. Enter your credit card number ONCE at Paypal, then never have to enter it anywhere else again. That way it will make it very easy to buy a track or album online when you are so inclined to do so. There are no extra charges at Paypal and the payment (.99/track or less) goes directly on your credit card. (that's right, 99 cents is all it takes to support musicians now and again). You don't have to do anything else.

Go to Paypal (then come back here)

or just keep browsing.

Various Artists Women’s Blues Revue Live By David Barnard Celebrating the 20th anniversary of the Women’s Blue Revue, the Toronto Blues Society has collected a CD’s worth of material from recordings made by CBC Radio between 1999 and 2005. In true revue form, the WMR Band is a crack seven-piece unit led by keyboard player Lily Sazz. They back-up each performer and provide many instrumental highlights. It’s hard to single out any one player but guitarist Margaret Stowe is a constant delight, adding jazzy runs to her solos and rocking out when it’s called for, such as during Suzie McNeil’s “Up Above The Clouds.” The band’s professionalism inspires outstanding vocal performances, including Alana Bridgewater’s “Trust In Me,” an Etta James classic, a powerhouse rendition of Big Mama Thornton’s “Hound Dog” by Rita Chiarelli, Molly Johnson reaching deep for Gershwin’s perennial “Summertime” and the CD’s showstopper, Jackie Washington’s version of “I’m A Woman” with just voice and bass. Roxanne Potvin, Sue Foley, Ellen McIlwaine and Suzie Vinnick sing and play, and their performances are amongst the best on the CD. Guitarist McIlwaine powers through an angry cover of the Isley Brothers’ “Fight The Power” and Sue Foley’s low key version of the Rolling Stones’ “I Got The Blues” exceeds the original. Also featured are performances by Diana Braithwaite, Georgette Fry, Divine Brown, Lee Aaron, Serena Ryder and Dawn Tyler Watson. Through 15 songs a wide range of blues styles are heard. There are enough surprises here that even listeners who find blues music of peripheral interest will discover much to enjoy. (Toronto Blues Society)

MELLO JELLO CD REVIEWS

Shelagh Rogers CBC Radio Host
"I LOVE Mello Jello!"

Greenman Review

by David Kidney

"Man I love this album!"..."I put this album onto my iPod after buying the CD at the park. I have listened to it almost every day now for the past two weeks. I can't say that about many other albums. I continue to be impressed by Marg's facility on the guitar, and I continue to be mesmerized by this beautiful album. Don't miss it!"

from Back to the Sugarcamp 2009 Porcupine "Lenny Breau Award"
by Steve Fruitman

For Margaret Stowe it’s like painting rainbows: tonality, understated playing and a wonderful ability to whip the notes onto the canvas.......Her latest CD, Mello Jello, is an amazing collection of wonderful instrumentals, covering Dylan, The Beatles, Donovan, Leonard Cohen as well as her own brilliant compositions. She’s an amazing player.

Mayday Magazine September 2009

by James Strecker

"Good news! Good news! Guitarist Margaret Stowe's new CD, Mello Jello, is

now released and it is a subtly enchanting gem of masterly technique infused

with a complex and profoundly gentle humanity. Stowe's light touch is made

of a pinpoint delicacy that feels perfectly conceived and perfectly placed;

it feels uncanny with other-worldly nuance; it is beautiful. And, no doubt,

to some these thirteen tracks might seem as light as a strand of smoke on a

sunny day in, say, 1969. In any case, this is guitar playing of such

astonishing lightness and rich delicacy in sound that one pauses in one's

deeper emotions to listen. There is richness of imagination here that takes

one through surprising rhythmic shifts, placement of notes, tonal variety

that teases one's imagination, and swing that really does swing. However, as

ethereal as this music might be, there is an assertive sense of daring

within that improvises with confident purpose. Available from

"Guitarist Stowe isz, simply, amazing. She plays long fluid lines that never seem to stop, the ideas pouring out of her in an uninterrupted flow. ...At times as gentle as Bickert, she turns around and lets fly with the energy of George Benson, but always with accuracy and so, so tasteful."
By Harry Currie.
