The formula behind the Carpenters' albums was starting to get fairly routine -- a hit single and an oldie or two (which sometimes was the single) surrounded by some well-produced soft pop/rock, driven by electric piano, strings, and a guitar solo or two cropping up. "There's a Kind of a Hush" and "Breaking Up Is Hard to Do" are the two most memorable tracks on this pleasant, well-sung, and well-played, but basically bland, album, A Kind of Hush. There are virtues here -- &... less info

Spooky and cool--those two words pretty much sum up this soundtrack for David Lynch's stranger-than-usual movie. It's a mix of hard-edged techno-industrial, slightly spooky jazz, and orchestral compositions from Angelo Badalamenti. David Bowie's 'I'm Deranged' is a major highlight, proving once again that he is the coolest man on the planet. Badalamenti's instrumental tracks are reminiscent of Elliot Goldenthal's Interview with the Vampire soundtrack, although 'Dub Driving' sounds like an accomp less info

Willfully idiosyncratic and fearlessly innovative, South African songstress Busi Mhlongo has spent her career defying critics' expectations with her ephemeral blend of Zulu chants, western pop, and hard-driving electro-influenced accompaniments that borrow as much from Kraftwerk as they do from South African rhythms. Over the course of her career she's been responsible for radical re-imaginings of South African classics like "Mbube" and has been widely acclaimed for her bold origina... less info

Foreigner promptly followed up its blockbuster debut with the equally successful Double Vision LP in 1978, which featured the FM mega-hits "Hot Blooded" and the driving title track. Opting not to mess with a good formula, the band wisely stick to the polished hard rock sound that made its first record such a hit. Aside from the big singles, other highlights include the swaggering "Love Has Taken Its Toll" and the more restrained "Blue Morning, Blue Day." As alway... less info

Madrid's Barrabas followed the success of their debut -- due in most part to "Woman," a surprise hit that found a home in several American discos -- a year later with Power, an accomplished if unremarkable album that indicates the varied stylistic interests of the group. "Mr. Money" seems to temper the hard, organ-driven sound of Deep Purple with the rhythmic thrust of early Santana, but unlike those two groups, Barrabas pushes their guitars into the distance. After a pair... less info

As punk albums go, The Spaghetti Incident? lacks righteous anger and rage. As Guns N' Roses albums go, it's a complete delight, returning to the ferocious, hard-rocking days of Appetite for Destruction. The Gunners play Stooges and New York Dolls songs exactly as they do Nazareth -- as straight-ahead, driving riff-rockers. After the epic Use Your Illusions, the band sounds like it's having fun, not caring about making "art" like "November Rain" or "Estranged." Un... less info

It seems like just about every rocker can't wait to voice an opinion about America's foreign policies circa the early 21st century.but even shock metallists W.A.S.P.? Yep, the same band that once sang about "fucking like a beast" and partying so hard that they were "blind in Texas" is now weighing in on the state of the world, as evidenced by Blackie Lawless' liner notes to 2007's Dominator. But to be fair, ever since W.A.S.P.'s early releases drove the PMRC mad, Lawless (... less info

Sun, Sun, Sun is the rope-strong, luminous follow-up to The Elected's critically acclaimed 2004 debut, Me First. Recorded largely in motel rooms while singer/songwriter Blake Sennett was on tour with his other band, Rilo Kiley, the album is propelled by the kind of unsettled, exploratory impetus that is only native to the American open road.While portions of the album were formed in proper studios like the all-analog Hard Drive studio in Southern California, Sennett, along with bandmate Mike less info

Eleven years after releasing their first album and eight years after redefining themselves with Southern Rock Opera, the rare concept album whose execution was just as impressive as its ambitions, the Drive-By Truckers have gained a richly deserved reputation as one of the hardest-working and most rewarding rock bands at work today. Having cranked out five great albums in seven years, they presumably felt bad about not having a new studio effort for 2009, so they've offered fans not one but two less info

Asie Payton died in 1997 at the age of 60. He was a hard-working farmer who lived below the poverty level. Most Saturday nights he could be found playing the blues at one of the two small grocery stores that were among the only businesses to be found in his north Mississippi hometown. After much coaxing, he agreed to be recorded during two different sessions.Originally recorded as demos, these were the only sessions Asie Payton ever recorded. He suffered a fatal heart attack while driving hi less info
