Best Albums
Alison Moorer - Crows - Country/Folk - One of
the better albums of the year - more torch than twang - not to be missed.
Peter Wolf - Midnight Souvenirs - Rock - Best
album of the year to date - also contains best song - Tragedy - not to be
missed.
Straight No Chaser -
With A Twist - A Capella Rock - 10 member group doing fabulous covers of
some great songs in a wonderful a capella fashion. One of the best new
releases of the year.
Sharon Jones and Dap
Kings - I Learned the Hard Way - R&B - this is old school R&B, Jones vocals
are gospel based, the band is pure R&B horns, backup singers and all. What
keeps this from being a truly great album is the songs. This is a really
good band - need stronger material, however if you like old school R&B - you
will not be disappointed.
Joe Bonamassa - Black
Rock - Rock - Not your typical Bonammassa album, in fact the first five
songs - you will wonder who this is, then the balance of the album is
typical Bonamassa screaming guitar.
Lady Antebellum - Need
You Now - Country - If you do not know this group, do you yourself a favor
and check out this release - some of the best vocals in a while. Not just
for country fans.
Matt Wertz - Everything
in Between - Pop - this is a 4 cut EP - every song is a delight.
Mindy McReady - I'm
Still Here - Country - Even if you are not a country fan, do yourself a
favor and check this out, very good album, good production, vocals and songs
- not typical country.
One Eskimo - One Eskimo
- Rock - Delightful EP - great little band with some great hooky songs. Jazz Albums
Jazz at the Lincoln
Center - Portrait in Seven Shades - Written as a companion piece to viewing
art with titles like Matisse, Monet et al. Excellent jazz recording of
original works.
James Carter - Chasing
the Gypsy - This album was actually released in 2008, however I just
discovered it. And I have to tell you this is one of the best jazz albums of
all time. Definite not to be missed, the guy can play - just that good.
