CD REVIEW: Various Artists "Solutions For Dreamers: Season 3"

Solutions for Dreamers : Season 3
The "Solutions For Dreamers" series from Oniric Records has been around for several years and has been both supporting independent music and some incredible non profit causes along the way. The third incarnation of the disc has been released to support the World Food Programme, an incredibly valiant organization with an equally incredible cause. The music contained within is by a wide variety of artists, some of which are established and others that are relatively new to the game, and styles from reggae to acoustic folk to indie rock. The Wailers (yes those Wailers) put forth an incredible new song and Chase McBride contributes his song "1937" from his debut EP. Marc B, J Radio (aka Merlo Podlewsky, bassist in Jack Johnson's band), Matt Jennings, and Matthew McAvene all contribute excellent new tracks that are welcome additions to their respective catalogues. Just as with the previous compilations, there are simple messages contained within the music and as interludes between the tracks. It's a great collection to download, not just for the awesome music, but for the incredible cause it supports.
