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 [...]

The Aerosmith

With the band members’ influences including Foo Fighters, Switchfoot, U2 and Aerosmith, the six-track EP sets the tone for how the members view the band’s purpose, they said. “It really is a hard look at myself and this generation, and the hope ... I Don’t Want to Miss a Thing,’” which earned Warren an Oscar nomination, “was a hit song,” she says. “It helps that it was with Armageddon and it was used really well, but I think Aerosmith would have had a hit with that song (anyway).” ... The City That Never Sleeps is dead to the world — that’s the tag line publicists missed in promoting this movie. Director Francis Lawrence, who has done music videos for Britney Spears, Sarah McLachlan, Aerosmith and this movie’s star, Will ... The pairing makes sense, given that Kid Rock has followed the rap-rock trail that Run-D.M.C. and Aerosmith helped blaze with their mid-1980s remake of "Walk This Way." It will be the fourth time in Roanoke for Kid Rock, who last appeared at the ... The Aerosmith frontman turns 60 in March. Sure, he's gotta keep the rock 'n' roll lifestyle reflected in his look, but no stylist would find leopard-print pants appealing on a man quickly approaching his 60th birthday. Personally, I think one occurred when Britney Spears and 'N Sync appeared at the Super Bowl XXXV halftime show with Aerosmith. But it could be worse. I hear next year's Super Bowl will feature a special guest appearance by Ted McGinley. Copyright ... With songs titles like "The Beauty of Murder," these teenagers played a surprisingly accurate version of speed metal and hard rock from a decade which preceded their birth. "We're really into Guns N' Roses, Aerosmith, Pantera, even Billy Joel," said ... He has opened for ZZ Top, Aerosmith and Ted Nugent,” Salyers said. “He’s toured in Europe and South America. He did Woodstock in ‘92 in front of 350,000 people.” Citizen Kane won’t play for nearly as many people at Fast Lane, but they do ... Framed by the park's supporting cast of classic Hollywood architecture are shows and attractions straight from contemporary Hollywood, such as Rock 'n' Roller Coaster Starring Aerosmith, "Lights, Motors, Action! Extreme Stunt Show" and many more ... Some of the artists I like are Aerosmith, the Stone Temple Pilots, Fiona Apple, Lenny Kravitz, Sean Paul, Gwen Stefani, Apollo 440 and Massive Attack. I really like the Indian band Pentagram and the Pakistani band Fuzon. My musical influences have ...
