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. 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 [...]

Accept the fact that you're going to see "Wicked" (or Blue Man Group or "Jersey Boys") more than once.

Ariel, played by Sierra Boggess, is the latest in a series of spunky musical-comedy heroines -- think about the young women in "Wicked" or "Legally Blonde" -- who seek to overcome obstacles. In the end, she does, of course, find true love. Boggess not ... The 2005 first-rounder is extraordinarily fast and has a wicked shot. He needs to play with a strong playmaker to bring out his full potential, and right now Rene Bourque and Yanic Perreault are not exactly what I consider "strong playmakers." Watch ...

The synopsis of James Collins's debut novel, "Beginner's Greek," is as familiar as the first love story you ever read: boy-meets-girl, loses girl and then tries to make it right. The twist? Mr. Collins has a wicked sense of humor, which early on ... George Demko, a professor at Dartmouth University, has carved out an interesting niche for himself. He's an expert on international crime fiction. One of Professor Demko's observations is that, in Latin American crime fiction, the criminals and the ... ... on a sweltering night as the two guys deal with hostages who talk back to them (one of them tells Cube he shouldn't think of himself as Robin Hood - "not if you are robbin' the hood") and try to convince them that they should change their wicked ways ...

The endless attempts to predict the ... I'll never be able to get all that said during one timeout, and besides, Jack's eyes would probably be rolling behind those dark sunglasses of his. “Get away from me, kid,” he might growl through a wicked Nicholsonian half-smile.
