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 [...]

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 [...]

This isn’t my type of vehicle, though perhaps if it had a few more of the optional creature comforts (which include such “necessities” as power windows and door locks with remote keyless entry, full-screen navigation system) I’d have enjoyed ... We would mush nearly seven miles up the lake to a campsite, make supper, sleep in tents and mush our way back to creature comforts the next day, all in an area with abundant wildlife, including moose and bear. Think dog-sledding, and the image that ... I think of my own four children -- safe at home with all the creature comforts we Americans often take for granted. The children here live under such incredibly impoverished conditions. Words cannot do justice to what I witness. How can I adequately ... Well, I love my creature comforts. Long stretch limousines. My golf course got the hugest, Floating green you ever seen. It’s my way or the highway. And I’m Haga-mega mad. Cuz the state won’t let me build my helipad. -- It’s foolish to resist me. I ... Surely, the invitation to visit the Tata showroom is that benchmark price, but what is certain is that Tata is betting on people to shell out more money for more creature comforts. Both cars feature two cylinder engines. While the 500’s motor ... But traditional creature comforts also remain high on the list with one of the top rated new amenities being the upgraded bedding found on today's ships. * Looking ahead to choice, choice, and more choice! Predicting things to come, travel agents say ... We aimed for something in between -- enough creature comforts for our children but enough local color to make it interesting for the adults.
