“Our Song,” respectively.To make life even sweeter, Swift also has this week’s highest vaulting new single, “Picture to Burn,” which bows at No. 52. The only other first-time songs [...]

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 [...]

Sara Bareilles
|
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: Goodbye
The songs ranged from the jazzy ballad "How Do You Say Goodbye" to the upbeat, shuffling nightclub funk of "Told You So." "In My Darkest Hour" and "A Simple Act of Faith" tilted toward overproduced '80s pop and R&B, but Genesis saved them with the ... Serious musical missteps (British production team UNKLE turns "Hello/Goodbye" into bland Linkin Park-lite; Snoop Dogg's invigorated raps are wasted over Alshux's clichéd Hollywood beat for "Hi-Definition") hurt "The Cool," but they are failed ... She and González then bid their captors farewell -- even kissing some of the women guerrillas goodbye -- before the uniformed fighters marched back into the jungle. Colombian Sen. Piedad Cordoba, a mediator who attended the release, said she hoped ... They also could shuffle their starting linebackers, and, given the play of rookie Stewart Bradley down the stretch, could say goodbye to Takeo Spikes, thus removing a sizable salary off the 2008 books. The Falcons are expected to make a decision on ... The two women smiled in front of the cameras as they said goodbye to their captors, dressed in fatigues and carrying assault rifles. The captives kissed the female guerrillas and shook hands with the men. The rebels then marched back into the jungle ... The two women said goodbye to their rebel captors and spoke to Venezuela's leftist President Hugo Chavez via a satellite telephone from the jungle handover site. "Please president, don't drop your guard. The ones left behind want me to tell you that ... My child is gone, and I have no goodbye," Warth said from the Pinellas County Jail, where she has been since her November arrest on burglary and auto theft charges. "This child didn't need to die. "She wasn't that sick." Her father, Daniel Vetere, a ... I will not get to talk to him again or say goodbye to him." Police said when Connors was arrested that she and Harrison had argued violently in their Manhattan apartment, near mayoral residence Gracie Mansion, before the stabbing. They said a neighbor ... Such myopia is very common among aging NFL legends who don't know when to say goodbye. Except, in this case, Favre was right. In 2007, the Packers went 13-3 while opposing coaches and players raved about Favre's revamped footwork and efficiency. Some ... And while there were moments when he sounded a bit drippy, these were far outnumbered by numbers with a much moodier clout - such as Carry You Home and I'll Take Everything - or the elegant, heart-tugging chorus of Goodbye My Lover, which he ...
