If you have already experienced the good fortune of discovering the bright and talented musical star known as Vicki Logan, you are fully aware that what I write today is solid truth. For those who have yet to discover her music, prepare yourself for a true original New Age artist whose music is so unique, one can compare her musical expression as unique to each person as an individual.

There is something I must admit before we go any further. When I am not diligently listening to and writing another artist’s album on review, I find myself returning to the music created by Vicky Logan. After first discovering her inspirational New Age expressions, everyone I have shared her music with loves her discography as well, so it is not just mere coincidence.

Vicki Logan’s latest release titled The Journey to the Places in my Soul under her own Carvic Publishing label, is the review we shall explore together. Come with me to find the inspirational bliss someone would expect to hear from a more globally recognized artist. First released in 2006, and now reissued in 2009, this album is upbeat classical in form, shining brightly by having a palpable feeling of the artist’s personal touch in creativity and imagination integrated into every song. Track 2 The Journey is an upbeat inspirational flute and piano tune that will inspire and enlighten you today and everyday. Track 3 Dancing with the Northern Lights displays a kaleidoscope of colors to reveal every tone and shade of an Aurora Borealis phenomenon, for which the song is titled, if you can imagine or have ever witnessed the Northern Lights.

There is also a complexity to her layered electronic instrumentals described as deep, up tempo, and even orchestral, by having piano, guitar, sax, oboe, and ever present flute which she plays with drive and purpose. To their credit, fellow band members add their own personal flavor by accompanying on individual songs which enhance the album’s classic there admirably. Track 6 Everlasting Memories presents a flute and piano arrangement with additional guitar rhythms combining for a more mystical tone, yet still retains a hopeful theme as if recalling distant memories of years gone by.

The entire album carries an abundance of depth and feeling in each of the melodies which leads me to believe much thought and even a portion of the artist’s personality are on display in this latest project. This is also true in prior albums, in which one can listen to over and over and still find meaningful with the passage of time, being an important consideration when purchasing CDs.

When we first spoke, I informed her I am also one of her many fans of her music, she just laughed and seemed surprised, which is just typical of Vicki, who is much too modest when discussing her talents in my opinion, so you will have to decide that for yourself. Vicki has agreed to an interview, so more information and prior album reviews will be available to you soon so that you may discover what I have found in the discography of this uniquely bright star known as Vicky Logan.
