Dean Owens - Whisky Hearts
|
In many ways, Dean Owens’s third solo album is very old fashioned. That isn’t meant as a criticism - musically it references huge slabs of Springsteen (especially the opener, Years Ago, one of those slyly political songs with its ripe rip of sax, and the gloriously uplifting Hallelujah) and in its more relaxed moments the [...]

Tom Baxter - Skybound
|
It’s been three years since we heard anything from Tom Baxter. His 2004 release Feather and Stone, especially its opening track My Declaration, was a Radio Two favourite, but since then, not a sausage. Now comes Skybound, an autobiographical album, which shows off his angelic, dreamy voice with an eclectic mix of sounds and styles.A [...]

The Magnetic Fields - Distortion (Nonesuch)
|
It’s four years since the last The Magnetic Fields album, i, but Stephin Merritt has hardly been idle. Yet where 69 Love Songs showed a remarkable profligacy of songwriting, and Showtunes elicited his love of Chinese music, Distortion is a conscious step back - not just looking over its shoulder, but swiveling round for a [...]

As a gifted singer and a versatile pianist with no formal training, Sara Bareilles burst onto the pop scene with a naturally skilled voice ranging from powerful and
soulful to sweet and gentle, earning her instant comparisons to Fiona Apple and Norah Jones. At age 18, she left the Redwood forests of her hometown, Eureka, CA, [...]

Fogerty’s Creative Revival
|
John Fogerty’s newest, Revival, is easily his best record since Centerfield, and has some of his best material since the CCR days. Songs like Gunslinger, Creedence Song, and Long Dark Night hold their own against Creedence’s best stuff.
The album starts off with Don’t You Wish It Was True, with a beat that is similar to [...]

Album: Amelie
No. 3 Jelena Jankovic of Serbia or 2006 Australian Open champion Amelie Mauresmo shape as her likely quarterfinal rivals. On the other half, No. 2 Svetlana Kuznetsova cannot meet a Top 10 player until a quarterfinal against fellow Russian Anna ... We think the 17-year-old will give Jankovic a good match; if she can pull off an upset, she could do some damage, especially if Amelie Mauresmo isn't at full strength. … Chicago's Alfonzo Moore likes Isner, and so does Andrew Tjader, who boldly ... World No.1 Justin Henin, No.3 Jelena Jankovic, 2006 winner Amelie Mauresmo and rising star Nicole Vaidisova all sit in her half of the draw. But it is not those four players who concern Serena the most. She believes that her older sister Venus ... ... Davydenko could encounter eighth-seeded Frenchman Richard Gasquet in another quarter. On the women's side, former champion Justine Henin, defending champ Serena Williams, Jelena Jankovic, last year's runner-up Maria Sharapova, 2006 winner Amelie ... ... consistent it is, but it's unlikely to be much quicker, if at all, and the bounce can still be reasonably high. Philippe Bouin: If, as is probable, the bounce is lower, it says bad things for all the Spanish- speaking players as well as for Amelie ... The media also got themselves worked up about the love match between Czech pair Lucie Safarova and Tomas Berdych as defending champion Amelie Mauresmo wilted out of the competition. However, Nicolay Davydenko appeared to be progressing with a minimum of ... It was Henin’s third Sydney title, having won previously against Amelie Mauresmo in 2004 and Francesca Schiavone in 2006, and stretched her winning streak to 28 matches. Henin’s last defeat was her shock semi-final loss to Frenchwoman, Marion ... Henin crawled disconsolately out of Australia in 2006 after retiring during the final against France's Amelie Mauresmo with severe stomach cramps. Now, as then, Henin does not consider she had done anything wrong. In her black-and-white world, she ... France’s Amelie Mauresmo, who won the Australian title two years ago but has now slipped to 18 in the rankings, is in the same quarter as Williams and Jankovic and begins her campaign against Tatiana Poutchek of Belarus.
