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 [...]

Album: The American Way
Psenicska claims he was duped into participating in the film after it was described to him as a "documentary about the integration of foreign people into the American way of life." A hearing is due soon at the Manhattan federal court. Psenicska said ... PALM DESERT, California (Reuters) - American Justin Leonard eagled the par-five 14th on his way to a commanding four-shot lead in the Bob Hope Classic fourth round on Saturday.

The 52 American hostages held at the US embassy in Tehran for more than 14 months have arrived in West Germany on their way home to the United States. The former diplomats and embassy staff stepped from the plane onto the tarmac at Wiesbaden airport ... Dyer's advice for an actor attempting a general American accent is to think about the way both Americans and the language itself like to occupy as much space as possible. This has encouraged me to bring along a prop for my audition - a large brown ... Tensions spawned by foreign investment hark back to the 1980s, when Japan snapped up prominent American businesses like Columbia Pictures, and some intoned that the American way of life was under assault. The new wave of foreign money is washing in ... Aston Villa, by the way, is also under American ownership, and currently contentedly so. There are good reasons why Villa's quiet American, Randy Lerner, is better appreciated than Liverpool's more voluble duo. Before we get to those, the third ... It’s the American way; and you better get on board. Leave the hearts and flowers to the social workers and get hip to stock portfolios and Krugerrands and what really matters. Hillary and Bill did. They’re “centrist“, you know. That’s it ... Maria Sharapova will be taking every opportunity that comes her way when she meets Justine Henin in the fourth round.
