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 [...]

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 [...]

Under fire from MLAs following recent trenchant criticism from a united body ... The judgement drew praise from John Kennedy, chief executive of music industry body the IFPI, who claimed it proved "the internet's gatekeepers, the ISPs, have a responsibility to help control copyright-infringing traffic on their networks". The court ... The intentions of everyone involved were not to harm anyone socially or psychologically; rather, it was a lapse in the judgement of the group as a public organization. We accept responsibility for these events, and have since recognized the severity ...

We are electing judgement and character, not years on this earth. KIM LANDERS: John Kerry had once toyed with running for president again. But those ambitions fizzled with a botched joke about Iraq, during the 2006 congressional elections. He had ... IF HIS reading material is anything to go by, Mel Gibson still isn't planning to go quietly, even though the fallout from his roadside rage against Jews continues. Clutching two texts - Say It Out Loud and another on Judgement at Nuremberg director ... I have no criticism or judgement on what has gone on before. Instead, it is up to me to work as hard as I can with the players who are contracted to the club. "But more importantly at the moment I must try to use this transfer window to bring in some ... 1. Now the bad news for the Giants: New England's Bill Belichick gets a chance to game-plan them for the second time in a month. The last time these two met, the Patriots had three touchdowns on their first five series of the second half. That tells ... T]he judgement is absurd on its face.
