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 [...]

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: Southpaw
Against Tarver, Jones got hit with a looping left no southpaw should ever throw and no professional should ever catch. And Johnson, who hadn't stopped anyone in years, starched Jones with a chopping right to the neck. For a time, it looked as if ... The southpaw sharp-shooter scored 28 in the first three quarters as the Warriors were in command most of the way. Bass, who is taller and has committed to Campbell University, had 20, most of them in the final period. Halifax Academy (16-1, 2-1,) took ... And Warren (right) thinks the Uzbek southpaw, whose victims include Felix Savon, John Ruiz and Nikolay Valuev, is seriously underestimating Skelton. "I think they could be making a big mistake," he said. "They've looked at Matt's fight with Sprott and ... Aussie crowd favorite Casey Dellacqua downed 15th-seeded Swiss lefty Patty Schnyder 4-6, 7-5, 8-6; and Taipei's Su-Wei Hsieh surprised 19th-seeded Austrian southpaw Sybille Bammer 6-2, 6-0. Dellacqua is rewarded with a third-rounder against the 2006 ... Steve Benen — one of my favorite politically left writers — has given in to the siren’s call and attempted to read the crystal ball on where the Republican primaries are headed. He offers four possible scenarios: * Republicans make their peace ... Yes, it’s a righty’s world but this is for all of us lefties out there. We older lefties can remember when parents got concerned if their child was writing with or throwing with his or her left hand. Often, they would force the child to use the ... The Seattle Mariners signed pitcher George Sherrill to a one-year contract Tuesday, avoiding arbitration with the southpaw. Sherrill appeared in 73 games with the Mariners last season, tied for seventh in the American League and for third-most in ... Rafael's remark: Despite a cut that dripped blood down his cheek from the second round on, Japan's Hasegawa used his speed, southpaw style and skills to keep European champion Maludrottu at bay for most of the fight. It was Hasegawa's fifth defense ... Srivastava added 101 runs for the fourth wicket with another southpaw Ravikant Shukla off 26.5 overs which turned out to be the best partnership for UP so far. First to go in the morning was the other opener Rohit Prakash Srivastava, who was trapped ... Mark Hendrickson agreed to a $1.5 million, one-year contract Wednesday with the Florida Marlins, who expect him to provide depth and experience for a young rotation ravaged by injuries last season. Hendrickson can make an additional $500,000 in ...
