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 [...]

Freerunning, the youth craze which involves daredevil leaps from buildings and acrobatic stunts from lamp-posts, has emerged as the Royal Marines' latest weapon of urban warfare. A squad of professional freerunners going by the names EZ, Livewire ... Every week, Hardy is performing some daredevil move that has fans going berserk. Just take a look at his match from last week's Raw where he landed his signature Whisper in the Wind maneuver (a twisting somersault) off the top of a 15-foot-high steel ... Daredevil Days follows from July 21 to 23, and Sargant said it could become a signature event for Niagara. The three-day show will be akin to a busker festival, with live entertainment such as jugglers, stilt-walkers and buskers on every street ... It looked fun and I guess I was enough of a daredevil to try it,” he said. Many pro riders are from rodeo families, but Bohon is not, so there were no relatives to show him the ropes. Instead, his parents sent him to bull-riding school, hoping ... FREERUNNING, the youth craze that involves daredevil leaps from buildings and acrobatic stunts from lamp-posts, has emerged as the British Royal Marines' latest weapon of urban warfare. A squad of professional freerunners going by the names EZ ... So as the industry grew and changed - from the days of daredevil pilots flying planes they'd built themselves, through training other pilots, to modern corporate aviation and sales - Swede adapted and was a force in all its stages. Early years Born ... Giannina remembers her brother as a bit of a daredevil and tough guy, skidding his car on the ice, snowboarding on sleds and building extreme skate ramps, and then encouraging others to join him in his adventures. His comrades in the military ... Daredevil high-flying motorcycle jumpers show off their talents at the North Charleston Coliseum. Things sure have changed since the days when Evel Knievel was jumping buses on a Harley. For one thing, these Motocross guys today don't often crash ... It will culminate in a daredevil motor cycle display by the Army, a spectacular aerobatic show by the IAF front line supersonic fighters, Sukhoi-30s, and a breath-taking demonstration and water para jumps by the Indian Navy's Marine Commandos. ... But daredevil Suzanne is fast overcoming her fear in her determination to win the show. And she is hoping all those hours on the ice rink will do wonders for her figure, too – although we reckon it is pretty tasty already. She said: “I want a ...
