Scott
Link' voice is familiar to the fans of his former band, Portland, Maine's Diesel
Doug and The Long Haul Truckers. Link served as the aforementioned Diesel Doug.
Shedding that image, Link has created a fantastic album that explores a roots-pop
sound without abandoning his country twang. Midwesterners might remember the late,
great Gear Daddies. Link channels Martin Zellar's sound. Link's stories of hard
work and simple rewards resonate with your inner blue-collar. Backed by many of
Portland's finest musicians, Link has created a solo pop rock gem that has plenty
of twang and as much heart and soul. -- Jeff Weiss, Miles of Music (self-released)
"The
Derailers came along in the 90's with a hybrid of Bakersfield country and 60's
rock and roll with the end results being astonishing. Big guitars and great songs
made them stand out to both country and rock fans. This is music with grit and
polish at the same time. Their albums should be essential listening to any music
fan but the real treat is seeing them live. The Derailers take you to another
dimension where you, the band and their music become one...they are that good!"-
Terry Currier, Music Millennium. With Under The Influence Of Buck The Derailers
cover 13 Buck Owens hits! Track Listings:Foolin' Around/Under the Influence of
Love/Love's Gonna Live Here/Together Again/My Heart Skips A Beat/I've Got A Tiger
by the Tail/Cryin' Time/Before You Go/Sam's Place/Who's Gonna Mow Your Grass/Down
on the Corner of Love/Johnny B Goode/Big In Vegas. (Palo Duro)
"Though
the album was largely written and recorded in Spain where Rouse now lives, his
peripatetic lifestyle has not turned him into a "world" musician, and
Country Mouse City House sees him sticking to his usual blueprint - 1970s singer-songwriter
with alt.country leanings...The opening track, Sweetie, and Domesticated Lovers
perfectly evince his easy-going style with gentle washes of lap steel and languid
organ fills, while Italian Dry Ice, the tale of a roving former lover, has a loose,
Staxy feel and lovely warm brass..." --Mike Pattenden, entertainment.timesonline.co.uk
(Nettwerk Records)
Soon after Bobby returned to RCA in 1972, he recorded an entire LP of songs by
the legendary songwriter, cartoonist and humorist Shel Silverstein. The album
yielded three hits, Daddy What If, Marie Laveau (Bobby's first ever #1 hit) and
The Winner. Ten other songs feature Silverstein's weird and often ironic twist
on the country song. This is regarded by many as Bobby's best-ever album! 
"The fragile bedroom pop on the band's second album is relaxed, compelling,
and down-to-earth-no freak in this folk. Lead singer Kelly Dyson's voice has been
compared to Elliott Smith's, and while it does have a similar breakable vibe,
at times he sounds closer to a very mellow Isaac Brook. Banjos, neatly plucked
guitars, and soothing vocals give the feeling that Ends of June was conceived
on a screened-in porch and birthed in the comfort of a good friend's kitchen..."
-- Stephanie Butler, popmatters.com (Other Electricities)
What's
love got to do with Phil Spector, Rick James, Michael Jackson or Gary Glitter?
Shivaree attempts to mount this riddle in a fractured look beneath the covers
and through the keyhole of some of true Rock n' Roll legends, interpreting the
songs of these and many more controversial greats on Tainted Love: Mating Calls
and Fight Songs. In the words of lead singer/headmistress Ambrosia Parsley, "Rock
and Roll may save your soul, but a good man is truly hard to find." Shivaree's
twisted, biting cabaret pop has been featured everywhere from Quentin Tarantino's
Kill Bill to Air America Radio (who employed Parsley to encapsulate each week's
news in song form). Track Listing: Paradise/I Want to Be Your Driver/Half on a
Baby/Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough/Would You Lay With Me (In A Field of Stone)/Hello
Hello I'm Back Again/My Heart Belongs To You/Cold Blooded/Looks That Kill/Shame
On You/Goodnight Irene.(Zoe)
"The influences seem to be Badfinger, Sweet, Queen, Bad Company and a whole
lot of other '70s album rock... The album opens with the power balladish "Just
Don't Know," which with its achingly epic vocal and lead piano belongs in
a stadium full of bell bottoms and lighters raised heavenward. "The Meal"
pickpockets the hook from Kiss' "Rock and Roll All Night" (and there
could be worse ways of getting famous then by getting sued by Gene Simmons and
company)... Elsewhere there is the Neil Youngish "Rollin'" whose southern
roots show, though as band member Mark Fredson observes after bringing the song
up "makes no sense since we're in one of the most northern points in the
country."There's also the opening to "Say Your Prayers" that could
be the missing riff from Yes' "Roundabout" before it devolves into Thin
Lizzy. Or the title track, which is driven by a riff that, to describe in language
the muscle-car-and-Pabst-set uses, is just nasty. "It's just kind of a raw
sound. We did it all on analog tape so we were going for that vintage sound,"
Fredson says. "It was a trying record, but fun.'" -- Rob Neill, msnbc.com
In
a specially priced 2 CD set, 42 folk music classics are given a good going over
by notable recording artists and the school's longtime music instructors, each
breathing new life into timeless songs. And as testament to the durability of
these tunes, they stand up to wide variety of genre-busting experiments and instrumental
and vocal chicanery. The performances on Volumes Two and Three range from the
ambient/electro treatment of "Simple Gifts" by Chicago's The Zincs,
to the heart-breakingly spare take on Tom Paxton's "Last Thing On My Mind"
by Kelly Hogan and Scott Ligon. Other artists featured include James Hand, Marvin
Etziiono (Lone Justice), Nora O'Connor, Amy Allison (daughter of Mose Allison),
The Lost Bayou Ramblers, Foghorn Stringband, and Amy Nelson & Cathy Guthrie
(Folk Uke, daughters of Willie Nelson & Arlo Guthrie). Track Listing Disc

88
year old country singer Spencer Moore played a tent show with the Carter Family
in the 30's, and was recorded in 1959 by Alan Lomax, who called him "as genuine
as a rail fence." This is his debut album. ""May I Sleep In Your
Barn Mister" sounds just about like what you'd expect from an 88 year old
country singer. This version of a "Dear John" song is as sad as they
come and his vocal delivery (warts and all) is perfect for the song. Of course
this is more like rural country blues than anything even remotely influenced by
Nashville, Austin or even Bakersfield..." --songsillinoismp3.blogspot.com

"Fractured
Mindz is the first solo album of all new material by Dave Davies since 2002's
Bug...For Fractured Mindz, Dave Davies has written songs that represent the heart,
the mind and the soul. He doesn't shy away from the negative, and celebrates the
positive and shines his light on all those glorious, diverse puzzle pieces that
come together to make a complete human being, even those with "fractured
minds". -Leslie Ohanian. Track Listing: This is the Time/Free Me/All About
Me/Come To the River/Giving/Remember Who You Are/The Waiting Hours/Rock Siva/The
Blessing/Fractured Mindz/Bonus Track: Goin In My Brain.(Koch Records) 
Throwing
sparks like two gigantic rocks grinding against each other, Los Angeles' Lamps
seem intent on doing things their way. Fronted by the unimpeachable Monty Buckles,
the Lamps' music alternately careens, crashes, throbs and urges. The trio's debut
LP had primitive, cavernous aggression that pounded asses into submission, while
their released follow-up shows a very nice progression. Phase two of the Lamps'
recorded journey is marked by more adventurous and expanded sonic approaches,
while retaining the thuggish essence that satisfies the planet of the apes.(In
THe Red Records)
Blue
Velocity is a record which aptly showcases many sides of this brilliant artist
in the context of high energy blues-rock with moments that bring to mind legendary
artists as diverse as Stevie Ray Vaughan, Jimi Hendrix and Eric Johnson. Duarte
has made the kind of guitar-driven blues record that fans have been waiting for.(Blues
