"Mule Variations" by Tom Waits

For those of you who are familiar with Mr. Waits' previous albums, you're probably asking yourself the same question I asked myself--how in the world did Tom Waits end up signing with Epitaph? Well, as you know, Tom is not a bleached-hair, adolescent pop-punk musician (the staple artist in Epitaph'... [More]

"By Your Side" by The Black Crowes

The most Rock N' Roll band in Rock N' Roll, is how The Black Crowes record company describes them and that just about says it all. This band is probably the most traditional, consitant and reliable rock band in existence. What can I tell you about the Crowes that you don't already know? This i... [More]

"Brotherhood Of Electric" by Wellwater Conspiracy

You can stop holding your breath in anticipation for Soundgarden's reunion. This CD might as well be called Soundgarden II. But don't get me wrong, this album is the best thing I have heard the members of Soundgarden release in a couple of years. This disc sounds like a freight-train at some poin... [More]

"The Man In Black" by Johnny Cash

Simply Awesome! This 30 song anthology of Cash's career, spanning from Sun Records to The Highwaymen, is a must for any serious music fan (unless of course you already own most of Johnny's albums). The compilation opens with the legendary 1968 live cut Folsom Prison Blues, recorded at the inst... [More]

"Return Of The Grievous Angel" by Gram Parsons Tribute

About 12 years ago I was enjoying myself thoroughly at a Steve Earle show, when he introduced his next song as being written by the guy who made it cool to play country music--it was Gram Parsons' "High Fashion Queen." First of all I want to thank Matt Hansen of the band Trigger Locks for pointing m... [More]

"Til The Medicine Takes" by Widespread Panic

Well, the boys from Athens have released another record. Doesn't this make about three albums in under four years? Who's counting? The bottom line is Widespread probably should have taken a little more time making this album. Not that it's all bad--the first three tracks on this album are exceptiona... [More]

"Title Of Record" by Filter

Finally, Filter's second release--four years in the making and worth the wait. Filter broke into the radio scene back in 1995 with their heavy hitting album Short Bus. These guys have a knack for pouring on seriously thick layers of tireless guitar and they don't leave any part of Title of Record un... [More]

"Juxtapose" by Tricky

Rarely does the title of a CD adequately describe the contents, but that is precisely what has happened with this particular release from one of the foremost trip-hop artists in the field to date. Tricky specializes in dark, moody electronic music with hip-hop beats, rap, and even some spoken word.... [More]

"To Venus And Back" by Tori Amos

Maybe a trip is all Tori really needed. If To Venus and Back refers to what Tori did to prepare for this release, then she definitely needs to travel more. This record is exceptionally good. Disc one includes all new studio releases that sound incredible--reminiscent of her bold, melodic and myst... [More]

"Us And Us Only" by The Charlatans UK

The good Charlatans band is back with another damn fine album. Although they've had a distinguished career already, Us and Us Only proves to be some of their finest work yet. Lead singer Tim Burgess once again provides his very distinctive vocals to the band's fantastic barrage of guitar-driven... [More]

"100 Per Cent Human" by Pocket Size

This album is a fantastic little pop gem, that would've made the perfect summertime--drive around and feel groovy--record. Pocket Size is the perfect name for this creation of Jeff Overs and Liz Pearson--they make sunny, shamelessly catchy pop tunes that come one tasty, bite-sized morsel after anot... [More]

"In Reverse" by Matthew Sweet

Matthew Sweet has been making consistently great music for just about 15 years. His penchant for hooky Beatlesque pop is rivaled only by Crowded House and XTC. He's equal parts Brian Wilson, John Lennon and Jeff Lynne, and In Reverse is perhaps his best. He's never quite made it to Household Name... [More]

"She" by Maldoror

Maldoror, was a bit of a surprise. Mike Patton has done solo material in the past. If you are familiar with it you know that it is among the ultimate in bizarre. But this release takes the cake. Teaming up with Masami Akita of Merzbow can only mean that you are about to challenge the threshold o... [More]

"California" by Mr. Bungle

Faith No More is no more, but singer Mike Patton has obviously been keeping himself busy--delivering two new releases within a couple of months. Mr. Bungle's newest release is of the ultimate quality. But don't expect it to sound like either of the prior albums, not that they had any sort cohesiven... [More]

"Temperamental" by Everything But The Girl

Never has the name Ben Watt and Tracy Thorne chose for their band been more appropriate than on Temperamental. Thorne has one of the most beloved voices in the biz and she's all but missing in action on this latest release. She drones along with these tepid toe-tappers like she's ready to doze off... [More]
