| Once Upon a Full Moon Night In Our Players |
Here's what's recently caught our collective ears:
Once Upon a Full Moon Night Anything Can Happen What can we
say? We're biased.
Richard Hawley Lady's Bridge Hawley is a master of melancholic
writing and delivers in the vein of a certain Presley. Complex
emotions for grown-ups.
K T Tunstall Drastic Fantastic The motley Scot's soph effort is
half fast folk-rock and half midtempo musings. Strong writing,
again. "Hold On" is the hit; "I Don't Want You Now" should be
next.
Bruce Springsteen Magic The Boss roars in with "Radio
Nowhere" as he and the E-Streeters shout out an updated take
on Born in the USA. No tricks here, just Bruce set loose in fine
form, on the realities of America 2007.
The Roches Moonswept Another overdue quirky set from the
sisters, with masterfully blended harmonies and the expected
eclectic, irreverent songwriting -- such as "No Shoes," which
gives a circular twist to the "I met a man with no ..." proverb.
The Puppini Sisters Betcha Bottom Dollar Andrews-Sister-style
vocals on requisite standards and surprisingly cool classic pop
hits ("I Will Survive," "Heart of Glass"). However, the CD only
suggests the manic energy of the Sisters' live performances,
which include a hilarious take on the Bangles' "Walk like an
Egyptian." Sheer fun.
Dept. of Good and Evil, Feat. Rachel Z Ms. Z. is back to the jazz in
her piano trio stylings, even managing to include an offbeat take
on Bill Withers' "Ain't No Sunshine."
Winterpills The Light Divides Lush harmony, gossamer guitars,
lachrymose lyrics, and, just as you float off into the acoustic
ether, a jarring lyric shakes you awake, reflecting the frustration
of the song's protagonist -- all have the 'Pills popping again.
Various Artists Tribute to Joni Mitchell Mitchell's rich writing,
deep poetry, and 50+ alternate guitar tunings make a formidable
challenge to cover, but Sarah McLachlan, Prince, k.d. lang, Brad
Mehldau and others offer up a palette of colorful interpretations.
