"The Mavericks" by The Mavericks

There are people out there who just flat hate country music, but even with the most hard-core rock-heads there are a few guys that can soften their hearts (Steve Earle, Willie Nelson and certainly The Mavericks). Steve, because he can rock with the best of 'em, Willie, well, because he's Willie and... [More]

"Loses Control" by Hey Mercedes

Before they invented the genre-term Emo--such music was referred to as "power pop" and before they invented that category such music was simply referred to as rock and roll. I recently attended a live show of these Chicago-natives (late of the much vaunted Emo outfit Braid) and had myself a good-ole... [More]

"Want One" by Rufus Wainwright

I hate like hell that I can't give this one a 4. But, to me, a 4 is a strong recommendation that you should by no means fail to add the album in question to your collection. As much as I love this guy, and no matter how much praise I heaped on his last album Poses (number 2 or 3 on my best-of list... [More]

"Thirteenth Step" by A Perfect Circle

I know that in Tool world that it is sacrilege to even think this, but I'm gonna say it: With the Thirteeth Step, Perfect Circle have become Maynard James Keenan's best band. As amazing as Tool's best album Lateralus is, this is just a little bit better. Most will disagree since I've already seen ki... [More]

"North" by Elvis Costello

Anyone who knows me personally knows that I think that Elvis Costello is the greatest songwriter of all time, so my review for North is probably a little biased. But I'd like to point out that North, which happens to be Costello's 20th album, is one of the most personal and downright beautiful album... [More]

"Tiny Voices" by Joe Henry

As talented as a singer and songwriter that Joe Henry is, he's probably more famous for being Madonna's brother in law. Now one year later after producing one hell of an album for the king of soul Solomon Burke, Henry returns with his ninth solo album that finds him moving completely into the realm... [More]

"The Fire Theft" by The Fire Theft

The Fire Theft's debut album isn't just any run of the mill debut, it's actually all the original members from Sunny Day Real Estate; a highly underrated and under-appreciated band fronted by one of the greatest original voices of all time Jeremy Enigk. You heard right, all original members includes... [More]

"Love Below / Speakerboxxx" by Outkast

For me personally, this album was the second most anticipated album of the year, second only to the Strokes new album which finally surfaces later this month. Outkast are the best rap act out there right now period. There should be no argument about that from anyone. No one out there sounds anything... [More]

" Reality" by David Bowie

If Low, Heroes, and Lodger were David Bowie albums that should be seen as connecting works, then I guess that last years Heathen album would have to go hand in hand with Bowie's new output Reality. Both have Tony Visconti behind the boards, and both contain two cover songs surrounded by new upbeat m... [More]

"Life For Rent" by Dido

I hate to say it, but I have to give props to the great white dope Eminem. If it wasn't for his huge hit "Stan," most of us wouldn't have had the chance to hear this beautiful diamond in the rough. After "Stan" blew up the charts, Dido's No Angel album came out of obscurity and into the limelight. N... [More]

"Sacred Love" by Sting

I know film critic Adam Mast may kill me for saying this about one of his favorite artists, but the new Sting album is not that great. In all honesty, it may be one of, if not the most mediocre album ever issued by the ex Police man. Opening track "Inside" tries to be a barnburner of a tune, with St... [More]

"Leona Naess" by Leona Naess

It seems like anytime an artist or band puts out a self-titled record two or three albums into their career, it is a pretty good sign that this is the sort of music they would've liked to have been doing all along if they'd had it their way. Certainly the case here. Naess, the daughter of Arne Naess... [More]

"The Resignation" by Rx Bandits

There may be more than a little bit of irony to the title of this one. To some extent this album smacks of Record Company forced-grooming. Y'know - cash in on the Emo cow while she's still leaking at the utters. They certainly have popped-up their sound a bit from their former Ska-Core aesthetic but... [More]

"It Still Moves" by My Morning Jacket

My Morning Jacket have been making the rounds on the Late Show circuit playing a great song called "One Big Holiday" kind of a standard ass-kicking guitar driven southern rocker that may mistakenly have you believing that these guys are a spot-on reincarnation of Lynyrd Skynyrd. A great song, no dou... [More]

"Identity Crisis" by Shelby Lynne

The story of Shelby Lynne's life would make a Behind The Music feature that would be impossible to top. When she was 17 years old she witnessed her father murder her mother and then turn the gun on himself. Soon thereafter she married her high school sweetheart mainly to provide a home for her young...
