I have had the opportunity to review the new cd from thee Alive Naturalsound label entitled " Where Is Parker Griggs ". This is a compilation of recordings by Alive Naturalsound recording artist, most of which are available only on this set. Included in the lineup is Rad io Moscow , Hacienda , Buffalo Killers , Henrys Funeral Shoe , Black Diamond Heavies , Lee Bains III & The Glory Fires , Brian Olive, Gardens , White Noise Sound , Left Land Cruiser and The Bloody Hollies . Now you can imagine in any compilation of songs by diverse artists that there will be songs that you like more than others just due to the song types/styles and your own personal taste. This entire compilation is very well composed and flows very nicely. Radio Moscow who has two songs on this compilation come on strong with mind expanding overtones and eerie swamp sounds, Hacienda who also have two songs, both which are exclusive to this release are more directed to the general listening audience...
