Ray LaMontagne - Gossip in the Grain
“If the Ray LaMontagne we met on 2004’s “Trouble” came off as a beaten man, beautifully broke down and busted, full of longing and regret, the one who returns to us on “Gossip in the Grain” is smiling and ready to have [...]

Lucinda Williams - Little Honey
“Given her history of misbegotten record deals, drugs, chin-out temperament and stormy romances, Lucinda Williams has a better claim than most to sing AC/DC’s “It’s a Long Way to the Top (If You Wanna Rock ‘N’ Roll)” —which she does here in a soulful, [...]

Product Information, Audio Previews, Reviews and More On: Rachael Yamagata - Elephants / Teeth Sinking Into Heart
“Four years after the release of her impressive debut, “Happenstance,” singer/ pianist Rachael Yamagata returns with an ambitious two-part album, mostly produced by Bright Eyes multi-instrumentalist Mike Mogis. On the first part (”Elephants”), she sticks to brooding [...]

Product Information, Audio Previews, Reviews and More On: Pussycat Dolls - Doll Domination
“Pussycat Doll lead singer Nicole Scherzinger couldn’t muster the success she’d hoped for when she attempted to launch her solo career last year, but PCD’s sophomore set has all the elements (self-assuring themes, sultry lyrics and lots of skin-tight latex) to [...]

Product Information, Audio Previews, Reviews and More On: New Kids On The Block - The Block
“The New Kids’ comeback album contains songs like “Grown Man,” “Big Girl Now” and “Put It on My Tab,” designed to deliver the message that they’re no longer the fresh-faced tweens on your pre-algebra notebook. But when [...]

Product Information, Audio Previews, Reviews and More On: Sonya Kitchell - This Storm
“In 2006, singer/songwriter Sonya Kitchell’s “Words Came Back to Me” was among the first featured in Starbucks’ Hear Music program, bringing the light jazz stylings of the then-16-year-old into the coffee chain across the country. For its follow-up, Kitchell teamed [...]

“With a tiny voice, minimalist arrangements and simple lyrics, this Swedish songwriter has crafted what seems like a magical album, where all its small elements coalesce into something quite big. Li is 22 but sounds half that, although her lyrics are quite wise beyond her years. The drone of opener “Melodies & Desires” is like [...]

“Juliana Hatfield is well within her comfort zone on “How to Walk Away,” her second album for self-started record label Ye Olde Records. The 10 tracks hit an enjoyable middle ground between the squeaky-clean sound of 2004’s “In Exile Deo” and rough and grungy 2005 set “Made in China.” Hatfield does her moody, catchy indie-pop [...]

“You get the sense the Jonas Brothers can actually do the things they purport to do, like sing, play their instruments and even write music. That’s why it’s unfortunate that much of their sophomore effort is submerged in an ocean of heavy-handed production, so deep that the boys’ natural talents struggle to break the surface. [...]

Hard to believe Pink is releasing her 5th studio album in October 2008, and this is being billed as the first single. The song is a tale of her breakup with her ex-husband, Motorcross biker Carey Hart. Obviously she is taking things a little harsh, probably shouldn’t have broken up with her. The single is [...]

“Randy Newman’s shock-and-aw-shucks wit is so joyfully scathing at times on “Harps and Angels” that it’s hard to believe it’s been nine years since his last album of new material. The sarcastic advice to undocumented immigrants, “Laugh and Be Happy,” is cleverly camouflaged by a giddy orchestra arrangement right out of Carl Stalling’s Warner Bros. [...]

“Neil Diamond was an international superstar by 1976, but nothing prepared him quite for the reception he met when he arrived for concerts in Australia and New Zealand. There are crowds as far as the eye can see during this Sydney show, originally broadcast on nationwide TV, and they eat up Diamond’s time-tested schtick from [...]
