Dean Owens - Whisky Hearts
|
In many ways, Dean Owens’s third solo album is very old fashioned.

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 [...]

Album: Dreamland
It's fantasy, it's dreamland, but we have earned the right and we are going to have a good go at it and enjoy ourselves as we have always done. "Since our first game in the Cup this season and beating Port Vale here in a replay we have loved it ... Ahhh ... who cares about the clutter and crumbs when I hold Evan close and watch his eyelids flutter over his deep blue eyes and listen for that deep shutter of a sigh when he gives way to dreamland? “Slee-eep in Heavenly Peace.” Focusing on Evan ... Family analysis is above my pay grade, but Jake Paltrow isn't doing his better-known big sister any favors here; Gwyneth plays a humorless harridan with an odd brown perm job, and you can't quite blame Gary for pursuing the honeys of dreamland ... And a 4-0 home win over Aston Villa, including a Marlon Harewood hat-trick, had the fans in dreamland. That team ethic had finally appeared and a club expected to struggle found themselves in the top half of the table. As the season finished they ... A declassified version of a 2-year study prepared by the Air War College and obtained by PM reveals that this is no dreamland scenario. The Pentagon's top meteorologists believe the United States will be ready to fight--and win--a weather war ... It's what they think about when they wake up in the morning, it's what they think about as they drift off to dreamland. So, create a dedicated storage team to handle the negotiations.

I’m sure everyone would like to believe this whole sync up business. The band obviously is the one of the best if not the best by far.
