Dean Owens - Whisky Hearts
|
In many ways, Dean Owens’s third solo album is very old fashioned.

It’s been three years since we heard anything from Tom Baxter.

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: The Knowing
Without knowing, yes," Grodner said, sticking to his I-might-have-done-it-but-didn't-really-mean-it defense. O'Malley asked again, in a stronger voice, not that of a judge but of a cop on the street or a Marine who meant business. "DID YOU KNOWINGLY ... But be assured, both are well aware the other is out there. "Just knowing that he's out there and he's probably training as hard as he can to beat me, it lights a fire under me to work,'' Weir allowed, "to know I have a chief rival out there in my ... It is a relief knowing she is not off on the side of a road somewhere between here and God knows where." Hannah is bipolar, tried to commit suicide in November and wrote in her diary that death might be the only way she and Gage could stay together ... Knowing that made us wince when Gov. Tim Pawlenty responded to Stinson's recession comment. "Tom Stinson tends to be a bit on the pessimistic side of things, to put it charitably," Pawlenty said. We'd say he put it uncharitably -- and that the rebuke ... It's a process of knowing my body and knowing that if I were to wait until I get to 100 percent, then I would probably be waiting until the end of the season," he told the Rockets' official Web site. "That's an injury that I'm dealing with right now ... Moreover, her surrogates continued to goad his campaign into tit-for-tat exchanges, knowing that the less-established candidate - Obama, in this case - traditionally has much more to lose by engaging in negative campaigning. Obama mostly refrained ... We made it to No. 4, but knowing there were seven, I had to split. But then I guess she was used to that. MONTHS LATER we got back to No. 6, and the drowning of Carroll Rosenbloom . We also got around to No. 7, the Super Bowl tickets stuffed in her ... Knowing everything is not much different from knowing nothing. Judgment, therefore, rather than brute fact-finding, is the key. The trick is to narrow your focus, to decide exactly what you want to know and to refine your sense of what is serious and ... It was not a high point to see an eight-year-old girl walk out of her home into January rain, clutching a watering can in one hand and a chicken in the other, knowing that you have been somehow responsible for that,” Captain Jamie Russell ... But the problem for Canton is that opponents have pushed back this season, knowing Hollowell, a 6-foot-1 senior center, is the primary scoring option for the Chiefs.
