A history of modern global icons: Johnny Gumbo Band
Somewhere out in the barrios of the Left Coast, the Johnny Gumbo Band found themselves at the top of the modern global scene in 1988 with their debut album, Live at the Brass Guitar. The band's latest album, Last of the Red Hot Gumbos, juxtaposes John Ryan's bossa-nova melodies with a native steel drum ensemble to turn out politically aware hits. With standout tracks like "Crashin'," dominating radio airwaves far and wide, Johnny Gumbo Band is an essential addition to any music lover's library.

A history of metal icons: Gutowski
Rising from the pits of who knows where, Gutowski burst onto the metal scene in 1982 with their debut album, Tall, But Sensitively So. The band's latest album, Man of the Minute, joins Markie Gee's haunting lyrics with biting drum solos to cook up a disc overflowing with sludgy anthems. With standout tracks like "How the hell did the Johnnys kick our asses?," look for Gutowski to be a major member in the metal landscape for years to come.

A history of pop icons: Reet 'N Judi
Emerging from the garages of the Maple Hood, Reet 'N Judi climbed to the top of the pop scene in 1985 with their debut album, Nasty Girls. The band's latest album, Coupla Broads Chillin', melds Judi's bouncy hooks and Reet's smokey harmonies with clean singalongs to construct a record boiling over with uber-memorable tunes. With standout tracks like "Isn't Cozie Cute!," already certified platinum in Europe, Reet 'N Judi can count on loads of future success.
