Lawrence concludes his 15-year, hit-filled collaboration with the 35-voice Tri-City Singers with this live collection, reprising a formidable portion of the group’s classic repertoire (”Seasons,” “Never Seen the Righteous,” “I Am God,” “When Sunday Comes”). The set offers an equal helping of strong, stirring new material, led by “The Blessing of Abraham,” which is […]
Davis has been turning out extraordinary records for Red House since 1995, but “Skunkmello” is one of his most compelling to date. The album is loaded with originals, some inspired by family members. “Hooking Bull at the Landing” is based on an expression Davis’ late father, the actor Ossie Davis, was fond of repeating. Davis […]
‘We Shall Overcome: The Seeger Sessions’ features Bruce’s personal interpretations of thirteen traditional songs, all of them associated with the legendary guiding light of American folk music, Pete Seeger, for whom the album is named. Speaking of the origins of the new music, Springsteen said, “So much of my writing, particularly when I write […]
“Lunatico” opens with a blast of feedback, an electronic clarion call that dissolves into one of the loveliest sounds civilization offers: the tango. Solal, Muller and Makaroff — a Frenchman, a Swiss and an Argentine — offered a bold new take on tango on the Gotan Project’s debut, 2002’s “La Revancha Del Tango.” The new […]
Shooter Jennings’ sophomore release is far less sophomoric than his debut last year. These 11 songs showcase a confident artist very comfortable in an outlaw’s boots. The title cut busts lose with a Texas rock ass-whuppin’ that pretty much sets up what’s to follow on the pounding “Little White Lines” (a vice Daddy Waylon was […]
Wilson produced by T Bone Burnett seemed like a great idea on paper, but “Thunderbird” is at best inconsistent. The Wilson-penned opener “Go to Mexico” has an addictive club groove out of the Dust Brothers’ playbook, but other originals (”Poet,” “Tarot”) are listless. Wilson is usually a savvy interpreter, but her choices here fall short, […]
Newcomer Daniel Powter dominated international charts in 2005 with this debut album and its lead single, “Bad Day.” These days, he is well on his way to repeating the process in the United States, with “Bad Day” topping the Billboard Hot 100 and Pop 100 charts last week. With his self-titled full-length release, Powter firmly […]

Spacey atmospherics, equal parts guitar and synth, and perfect pop songs seamlessly congeal into a potent distillation of the Grandaddy sound. Wonderfully ambitious, endlessly melodic, and surprisingly all encompassing, it’s like a “Greatest Hits” made up entirely of brand new songs. “The best Grandaddy record thus far…the record pounces upon teary piano bridges, epic electronic […]
The first artist released on Def Jam, LL Cool J has minted his share of musical memories since 1985 and has become a hip-hop icon. On his 12th album, the artist hooks up with a diverse array of collaborators and such big-name producers as the Neptunes, Scott Storch, the Trackmasters and Jermaine Dupri. The better […]
A city councilman wants to offer a $50,000 public reward for leads in the unsolved murder of rapper Notorious B.I.G. Councilman Dennis Zine proposed Friday to offer the reward for 60 days.
“I am hopeful someone will come forward with information which will lead to the eventual apprehension of the murderers involved in this case,” Zine […]
When Toby Keith’s “White Trash With Money” is good, it’s very good. And when it’s not so good, it’s still OK. The exquisitely produced “It’s a Little Too Late” is among the best-sounding tracks Keith has ever laid down, and the swampy “Can’t Buy You Money” practically oozes out of the speakers. Producer Lari White […]
Musically, it is hard to find fault with Staind, one of the few bands that survived the nu-metal era, thanks to its considerable performance and songwriting talents. And there’s really nothing wrong with wistful new single “Everything Changes” from gold-certified “Chapter V.” The song has an unplugged feel, but its sparse arrangement carries weight. Singer […]
Andrea Bocelli has endeared himself to those with a penchant for elegant pop classical, but “Because We Believe” seems ambitious for radio airplay, particularly given its bilingual English/Italian delivery. Fans of new album “Amore” — which popped onto the Billboard 200 at No. 3 in Feburary — are sure to find the melodramatic cut inspiring, […]
