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 [...]

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 [...]

The Tar Heels might've have had a good reason for looking past a BC team they beat by 22 points last season — three of North Carolina's next four games are against No. 1 Connecticut, No. 4 Maryland and No. 10 Duke — but that didn't happen. Coach ... Childress has now scored in double figures in seven straight games. He doesn't start, but he plays starter's minutes off the bench for the Hawks.

Fabrice Santoro had every right to be, but still had a smile on his face. Williams, seeded eighth, advanced to the third round of the Australian Open with a lackluster 7-5, 6-4 victory over Camille Pin, committing 44 ... For the last two years, No. 4 has toyed with the emotions of everyone in his adopted state, plus the folks back in his native Mississippi: Would he retire or return?

Terrence Williams scored 20 points and David Padgett had 17 points and 10 rebounds to help the Cardinals roll past No. 13 Marquette 71-51 on Thursday night.
