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 [...]

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 [...]

Eagles

ASSUMING HE successfully navigates Sunday's game against the Buffalo Bills, Donovan McNabb will finish a season healthy for the first time in 3 years, since he walked off the field in Super Bowl XXXIX, long ago and far away. Yet, that isn't really ... Rookie linebacker Stewart Bradley went the humble route yesterday, choosing not to emphasize the fact that in his first extensive action from scrimmage, he managed a sack and an interception at New Orleans. In the previous 14 games, Eagles ... Team president Joe Banner said this month that he expected the five-time Pro Bowl player to be the starter next year. Then McNabb started playing like his old self, making it illogical for the Eagles not to bring him back for another season. "I look ... After a disappointing finish in regionals last year that kept the Eagles out of the state meet, Dan Snell had his team back on top this year. The Eagles were the dominant county team and advanced to the state meet. Snell is the The Ledger's Coach of ... The Eagles have 17 fifth-year seniors playing in their final game. "We've got a lot to play for," Jagodzinski said. Ryan said: "We're fired up, ready to go." I'll believe it when I see it. Many teams who have championship-type dreams crushed late in ... Twelve of the 17 started for the Eagles, comprising the bulk of a senior class that compiled a 38-12 record, the best in school history. The group has never lost a bowl game, part of an NCAA-best seven straight bowl victories. Critics would argue that ... The Eagles were 3-1-2 in October before struggling in November, going 0-3-3 in the first six games of the month. BC headed into the holiday break with three straight wins. "We've really shown some good improvement," said York. "Even when we went ... Most of the national pundits are calling this a mismatch because the Spartans finished 3-5 in a weak Big 10 and the Eagles were at one point contending for the BCS title game. But a lot of times in these bowl games, the favorites enter flat because ... The Eagles, who were ranked as high as No. 2, are led by standout quarterback Matt Ryan and the nation’s top-ranked run defense that will test the Spartans’ tandem of Javon Ringer and Jehuu Caulcrick perhaps more than any other team this year. ...
