"The Desert Sessions Vol 9&10" by The Desert Sessions

Queens of the Stone Age frontman Josh Homme and his loose confederation of mutant soul-mates could care less whether or not you like this record. They're just out to have a good time, hang out with their fellow freaks and party all night long - I apologize if I'm missing the mark here, but one liste... [More]

"Lucky" by Melissa Etheridge

February is typically the month when record labels like to release their lesbian artists, look for the Indigo Girls, in a week and k.d. Lang before the 28th. If you're of the Sappho persuasion, please do not click away in anger - I'm just kidding. Though I am not a female and therefore unqualified t... [More]

"All That We Let In" by Indigo Girls

It's nigh on 20 years now since we first got an earful of the Indigo Girls brand of southern folk, their passionate harmonies, and hard wrought takes on love and relationships. True there's been a few footfalls along the way, mostly those that have found the duo trying to keep step with the varying... [More]

"Billy Talent" by Billy Talent

First of all I think these guys are a good enough band to stand alongside their American peers. I like the fact that they tip their collective hat to punk pioneers the Buzzcocks and I think they're better than say a band like Good Charlotte who have begun to epitomize the "Rebel without any Claws,"...

"Get Born" by Jet

Sometimes all it takes is an album like Jet's debut, Get Born to restore your faith in Rock and Roll. Comprised of the brother tandem of Nic and Chris Cester, this Australian quartet brings the goods with just a bit of Oasis-like insouciance and swagger and plenty of the no-nonsense rock tradition...

"Just an American Boy" by Steve Earle

I don't make it much of a secret that I believe Steve Earle to be among the top 5 best songwriters still alive and working. His prolific output since his imprisonment and rehabilitation from his heroin addiction can rival anyones. Since 1995 he's released 6 studio albums that have all been met with... [More]

"Ether Song" by Turin Brakes

Turin Brakes have a made pretty impressive name of themselves in a relatively short amount of time. Comprised of Olly Knights and Gale Paridjanian's TB's first record The Optimist made a critical splash and found it's way onto the shortlist for Best Newcomer at the annual British Music Industry awar...

"Transatlanticism" by Death Cab For Cutie

Somewhere in my head I keep a book of lists. Inside this book I keep track of who I believe are the most prolific songwriters working at any given moment. Despite all of the negative press that he's brought upon himself, and in light of the fact that Rock and Roll was the most overrated album of 200... [More]

"Feast of Wire" by Calexico

With Feast of Wire, Calexico has sacrificed a measure of their experimental, Salsa meets Spaghetti Western 6 minute explorations in favor of pared down far more focused pieces that pack just as much power in their more succinct sound. Joey Burns and John Convertino for all intents and purposes are C... [More]

"Hearts of Oak" by Ted Leo and the Pharmacists

Ted Leo has been fronting one band or another for longer than some of his young fans have been alive. Prior to the indie-fave success of the Pharmacists his most notable endeavor came in the early through mid 90s with a Chisel, a band that hearkened back to the classic Brit sound of bands such as Ki...

"A Crow Left of the Murder" by Incubus

Even if you're the type of person who doesn't fancy the musical stylings of someone like Incubus, you've got to at least admire them for one thing. The older that these guys get, the farther they try to distance themselves from rap metal nitwits like Korn, Hoobastank and Limp Dipshit. Excuse me, Biz... [More]

"America's Sweetheart" by Courtney Love

I'm sure that you guys don't know this, but Ms. Love and I are cosmically connected. It's true. It seems like only four years ago when Courtney tripped over me and damn near cracked her skull on the icy streets of Park City, Utah during the Sundance Film Festival while we were filing out of the Eccl...

"Magic and Medicine" by The Coral

I first became acquainted with The Coral courtesy of my satellite radio station and based on the two tracks that were in such heavy rotation, I couldn't wait to get my hands on their debut album. As it turned out one of those tunes wasn't even on that record - it's on this one, and it's certainly th... [More]

"Feels Like Home" by Norah Jones

You remember Nojo - the demure and mysterious love child of George Harrison's sitar-mentor Ravi Shankar, the one who needed a wheel barrel to carry off the 14 or 15 Grammy's in 2002. Not a bad little debut that. I was a fan, though I felt she borrowed the notion from Shelby Lynne's breakout the year... [More]

"Decoration Day" by Drive By Truckers

After delivering the best, if not the only, country concept album ever, 2001's brilliant "Southern Rock Opera," Alabama's Drive By Truckers have set a high standard for themselves and I'm happy to report that Decoration Day, (while not an attempt to best their sprawling masterpiece) is a more than w...
