This Is No Way to Make a Living $8.78 This Is No Way to Make a Living compiles the best moments from each of the three albums the Daycare Swindlers recorded for Vile Beat. Jumbled as it is, the collection wavers from dedicated Washington, D.C., hardcore through punk rock to the occasional Operation Ivy-style ska-punk workout. But the band’s performances stay strong throughout, with vocalist Noah Waggoner proving to be as adept at a hardcore yawp as he is at a yelping along with a ska upbeat. While the ska-ish numbers like “White Bread” and “Big Show” are fun, the D.C. sound really seems to be the Swindlers’ bread and butter. From the hardcore screed of “She Said” (from their 1999 debut) to the shifting dynamics and blood-boiling shrieks of “Petrify,” the band’s influences and dedication to its hometown scene’s signature sound are apparent, and to be applauded. ~ Johnny Loftus, Rovi Performers: Michael Shotton – Bass, Vocals; Noah Waggoner – Vocals; Scrote – Guitar, Vocals |

Make Way for Dionne Warwick $8.98 Make Way For is Dionne Warwick’s third long-player for Scepter Records. The album would eventually be her first to make the charts and was undoubtedly propelled by the hits “Walk on By,” “You’ll Never Get to Heaven,” and “Wishin’ and Hopin’” — all of which became key components of Warwick’s performance repertoire. Interestingly, the latter track as well as “I Smiled Yesterday” had also been included on Warwick’s debut album, Presenting Dionne Warwick. However, that didn’t seem to deter listeners eager for new tunes. Warwick’s musical mentors and collaborators Burt Bacharach and Hal David also presented the singer with several additional compositions that would become signature songs for other performers in the ensuing years. “(They Long to Be) Close to You” became synonymous with the Carpenters, while Dusty Springfield shared some of Warwick’s notoriety with her own hit version of “Wishin’ and Hopin’.” The trio of tracks not derived from the voluminous Bacharach/David catalog include Jule Styne’s “People,” from Funny Girl, as well as a few numbers from a pair of other well-known Brill Building teams of pop songwriters. Gerry Goffin and Carole King serve up “Make the Night a Little Longer,” while the arguably lesser-known pairing of Howard Greenfield and Helen Miller offer the somewhat antiquated “Get Rid of Him.” ~ Lindsay Planer, Rovi Performers: Dionne Warwick – Vocals |

Fast Money $11.14 Dirty South haters are going to point out that Fast Money covers the same old tired topics Cash Money releases have beaten to death for nearly a decade and a half. Yes, thugging, big pimping, spitting bravado, and boasting about the quality of Cash Money women and weed are all over Birdman’s sophomore release, but Cash Money’s CEO shows that his pimp hand is strong, giving his entire roster the Dirty South blueprint for a perfect weekend album. As a rapper, Bryan Williams (or Baby, now almost always Birdman) has always been a P. Diddy character, serviceable with the rhymes but a better boss and impresario. Here, he’s a step up from on fire, keeping it simple as expected but always driven and cocksure. What’s fascinating is that he’s also ready for your ire, begging haters to bring it on. Using the “N” word as much as possible, dragging out every old cliché, and sticking the album’s two weed songs right next to each other gives every snooty backpacker plenty of ammo and every opportunity to look like a chump in 2015 when Fast Money is reissued in some kind of tenth-anniversary “Dirty South Classic” edition with four-star quotes on the cover and liner notes that wax poetic about the album’s perfection. Birdman’s B.G. meets Jay-Z style is surrounded by the thickest, slickest production Cash Money has ever been graced with, courtesy of Deezle, the Birdman himself, and his Big Tymers partner, Mannie Fresh. 50 Cent would sign on for any of these beats and Deezle just went A list. The fat guest list is handled especially well, with Lil Wayne, 6 Shot, Mannie, and everybody else woven into the songs and layered like voices at the party. “Neck of the Woods,” “Big Pimpin’,” and “Get Your Shine On” are the holy trinity of highlights, but it’s the on-the-corner “We Getting It On” that gives the album its heart. Recalling Digital Underground and tipping its hat to the old school, it’s the track Timbaland and Missy will be studying along with every Dirty South rapper who can see past his 24s and syrup sipping. Like Brian De Palma’s Scarface, Fast Money revels in excess, glitz, misogyny, and violence with an irresponsible, larger than life attitude. To call it a guilty pleasure would be ignoring how taut the album is, how the momentum of it all steamrolls over the listener, and how Cash Money has separated itself from No Limit and its ilk with one engrossing release. No Limit CEO Master P put out an album the same day as Birdman, but P’s mediocre and boasting Ghetto Bill makes him sound like a carnival huckster in comparison. P’s opportunistic empire might make him the “Ghetto Bill Gates,” but Fast Money proves Birdman is the real king of the Dirty Southern streets. Big pimpin’ indeed. ~ David Jeffries, Rovi Performers: Dennis D-Moe Moorehead – Keyboards |

The Way It Is $9.58 Originally issued in 1978, The Way It Is was the only album recorded by Errol Kong, nephew of the famous Jamaican producer Leslie Kong. Almost 30 years later, it sounds like both a product of its time and an anomaly. The eight tracks (expanded for this reissue with dub versions of seven of them, along with one unrelated dub track) were recorded at Harry J’s studio and at Lee “Scratch” Perry’s Black Ark, and carry the sonic imprints of both studios — however, the song arrangements are also highly unusual for the roots reggae music of the time. The album’s lead track and first single, “Ghetto Cry,” boasts an unusually complex chord progression for 1970s reggae (a period when many reggae songs were simple two-chord constructions), and “Wolves in Sheep’s Clothing” is, despite its title and admonitory lyrics, as soft and gushy a song as you could want — if the Carpenters had converted to Rastafarianism, their songs would have sounded something like this one. “I Wish (We’ll All Be Ready)” incorporates French horns, while “Life’s Road” presses nyahbinghi drums, varied percussion, and horns into the service of a wet, multi-layered sound that evokes both Black Ark and early Ras Michael. Kong’s voice is strong throughout, and if a couple of songs are relatively weak in lyrical terms, the consistently strong dub versions generally make up for it. Recommended. ~ Rick Anderson, Rovi Performers: Cedric ‘Im Brooks – Funde Drum; Dirty Harry Hall – Funde Drum; Egbert Evans – Funde Drum; Herman Marquis – Funde Drum; Jerome Francisque – Funde Drum; Orville Wood – Funde Drum, Vocals (Background), Percussion; Annicia Banks – Vocals (Background); Beres Hammond – Vocals (Background); Candy McKenzie |

Does Thinking Just Make It That Way? $19.18 Southern California vocalist Mary Ann Douglas continues her series of original recordings with her third album for her Magdalene label. With her once again, as he has been on the other two releases, is pianist Mike Wofford, and their mutual familiarity permeates each track. New to the group is master guitarist Mundell Lowe, whose polished, understated style fits perfectly with the overall relaxed mood of the session. Lowe also contributed the arrangements. Another newcomer, Dave Hoffman, adds Don Fagerquist figures with his trumpet on such cuts as “Everything Looks Better After Rain.” Douglas delivers her material in a light, sparkling, yet warm voice combining the best of Mildred Bailey, Blossom Dearie, and Mabel Mercer. Her writing continues to explore the various phases of love, life, and assorted emotions associated therewith, with a bit of Dave Frishberg tongue in cheek added. They come in all forms and moods. Some are upbeat in the story they tell and the tempo in which they are played, such as “Don’t You Give up on Love” and “‘Cause You’re Good to Me.” On a sultrier side is “Quiet Night,” which sounds like something one hears strolling by the open doors of a smoky bistro with Lowe’s guitar and John Rekevics’ sax providing seductive backing for Douglas. This is one of the preeminent tracks on the disc. The harmonica of Rephael Harp helps to create a sassy, bluesy feel that underscores a questioning “Says Who?” Douglas’ songs may never become entries in the Great American Popular Song Book, but they are catchy and captivating and when put in the hands of the good musicians on this CD — playing arrangements that make the music come alive — provide for a delightful listening sensation. Recommended. ~ Dave Nathan, Rovi Performers: Dave Hoffman – Flugelhorn, Trumpet; Bob Magnusson – Bass; Jim Plank – Percussion; John Rekevics – Saxophone, Flute; Mary Ann Douglas – Vocals; Mike Wofford – Piano; Mundell Lowe – Guitar (Electric); Peter Sprague – Guitar (Acoustic) |

The Real Kids $10.98 In the late ’70s through the early ’80s, the Real Kids were Boston’s original rock & roll slop band. Fronted by John Felice, main songwriter and guiding spirit, the Real Kids ran on equal parts adolescent rivalry, drugs, and as much beer as they could consume. When Felice wanted to tear up a club with his rockin’ originals or his favorite rock & roll tunes (equally adept at both), the Kids could be a thing of raw beauty to watch and hear. When Felice wasn’t in the mood, he could play pissed-off rock star to the max and the results were desultory at best. This Norton CD, however, catches them early in the ball game, their debut album for the tiny Red Star label with all the great John Felice tunes like “All Kindsa Girls,” “Taxi Boys” (which later became the name of an offshoot group that recorded for Dave Pierce’s Star Rhythm imprint, the label that also issued the second [or last, depending on how you're keeping score] Real Kids album), “My Baby’s Book,” and “Better Be Good” along with spirited covers of Buddy Holly and Eddie Cochran material just to give you the big picture. Perhaps the Real Kids were just too undisciplined to make it big; maybe the drugs and the booze got in the way of the creativity. Alas, it’s an old story, but Felice’s reputation over in Europe continues to earn high marks and rumors abound that new material is on the way. In the meantime, check this one out — close your eyes and you’ll swear you’ve been transported back to the late ’70s at CBGB’s. Like their name, these guys were for real. ~ Cub Koda, Rovi Performers: Allen “Alpo” Paulino – Vocals, Bass; Alpo – Vocals, Bass; Bill Borgeolli – Guitar; Billy Borgioli – Guitar; Howard Ferguson – Drums; John Felice – Guitar, Vocals; Mono Mann – Piano |

The Hardest Way to Make an Easy Living $12.78 Apparently, success has spoiled Mike Skinner. It’s a common problem among artists who are also working-class social critics: if they become successful, it’s increasingly difficult to go back to the well when everything they’ve used for material changes drastically — friends and lovers, home life, work life, and social life. The wallflower who could study his subjects for hours suddenly lacks for good material when he’s the center of attention. Instead of attempting the charade of being a working-class chronicle, he’s moved on to the types of problems that come with celebrity, including trashed hotel rooms (“I make these crap rap rhythms to pay the hotel bills that fund my passion”), isolation and loneliness (“I got nothing in my life away from the studio”), fake Streets hats (“Fake Streets Hats”), and the other vagaries of fame (“Camera phones — how the hell am I supposed to be able to do a line in front of complete strangers, when I know they’ve all got cameras?”). So, are these Skinner’s sincere reflections on his surroundings and an artistic statement he’s proud of, or are they the result of a parodic persona he’s assumed, with its requisite shroud of satire? That’s a difficult question (despite Skinner’s own assurances that he’s sincere), primarily because of all the cynicism, paranoia, misanthropy, and betrayal on this record. Humility has been replaced by arrogance, reflection by anger, and humor by sullenness. The production has changed little from the last record — hard-hitting, synth-based productions with minimalist melodies and tough, clanging percussion, except for the occasional piano-based ballad. Skinner’s lyrics are striking and distinctive as before, but it’s difficult to believe this is the same artist who confronted a stereotypical lager lout named Terry on his first album, a track titled “The Irony of It All.” The irony here is that Skinner sounds more like the lout. ~ John Bush, Rovi Performers: Jackie Rawe – Vocals; Laura Vane – Vocals; Leo the Lion – Vocals; Mike Skinner – Vocals; Teddy Mitchell – Vocals; Wayne Hart Singers – Vocals |

Real Time $13.58 Music has occasionally been born of a couple of friends playing both new and familiar songs in a relaxed setting. Words that are often used to describe the music they make are “natural” or “unaffected.” Examples would include John Hartford’s Morning Bugle, Hartford, David Grisman, and Mike Seeger’s Retrograss, and Tim O’Brien and Darrell Scott’s Real Time. The songs on Real Time were recorded in Scott’s living room over the period of a week. Both musicians play multiple instruments including banjo, mandolin, guitar, and bouzouki; they also exchange lead vocals and sing some very fine harmony. Both the song choice and songwriting add to this project. Hank Williams’”Weary Blues from Waiting” receives an acoustic revision, with both singers sharing lead vocals and providing affecting harmony. O’Brien sings a charged version of “Little Sadie” driven by Scott’s aggressive guitar playing. Part of the beauty of this album is how fresh and vital these traditional songs become with these simple and straightforward arrangements. Real Time also contains a handful of refined originals, including O’Brien’s “Walk Beside Me” and “I’m Not Gonna Forget You.” Scott has written the impressive “There Ain’t No Easy Way,” complete with the same soulful singing found on his last release, Family Tree. There are even moments when Scott’s vocal style reminds one of the soulful delivery of Little Feat’s Lowell George. Real Time brings together two artists who love to make music and who give the impression that making good music is as simple as hanging out with friends. While this may not be how all good music is made, it has produced a gem of an album in the hands of Scott and O’Brien. Fans of both artists, and fans of good traditional and folk music, should enjoy this one. ~ Ronnie Lankford, Jr., Rovi Performers: Miles Wilkinson – Train Whistle, Bells; Darrell Scott – Toy Instruments, Hawaiian Guitar, Kazoo, Vocal Harmony, Harmony Vocals, Mandolin, Fiddle, Banjo, Vocals, Guitar; Tim O’Brien – Toy Instruments, Slide Whistle, Bouzouki, Gut String Guitar, Vocal Harmony, Mandola, Harmonica, Fiddle, Banjo, Harmony Vocals, Mandolin, Guitar, Vocals |

Nutcracker: Money, Madness & Murder (3 DVD Set) $24.95 Nouveau New York socialite Frances Schreuder has her heart’s desire: a seat on the board of the New York City Ballet. And all it took was murder. Lee Remick gives an electrifying performance as the real-life sociopath who schemed her way far from her Salt Lake City roots to conquer the Big Apple. The scheme: goad her 17-year-old son into killing his grandfather (and her father), a miserly multimillionaire, and inherit a fortune. Flashing between Frances’ murder trial and the chilling events that led to it, this riveting crime thriller – nominated for nine Emmy Awards including Outstanding Miniseries and Lead Actress (Remick) – brilliantly explores the unbelievable-if-it-weren’t-true consequences of one enraged and twisted mind. |

The In Sound from Way Out! $9.58 Originally released through the Beastie Boys’ French fan club, The In Sound From Way Out! is a collection of the group’s funky instrumentals from Check Your Head and Ill Communication, with a couple of new tracks thrown in. The Beasties have a flair for loose, gritty funk and soul-jazz, and the stuttering, greasy keyboards of Money Mark give the music an extra edge — he helps make the music sound as authentic as anything from the early ’70s. Fans of the band’s dynamic wordplay might find The In Sound From Way Out! a disappointment, but anyone who grooved on the wildly eclectic fusions of Check Your Head and Ill Communication will find the album endlessly enjoyable. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, Rovi Performers: Money Mark – Clavier; Ad-Rock – Guitar (Electric); MCA – Bass; Mike D – Drums |

Life After Cash Money $14.38 Despite the title, this is the second album B.G.’s unleashed since leaving the Cash Money label, and whenever he’s rapping about the split, his skills shine. The other topic that sets B.G. on fire is the rapper’s late homey Soulja Slim, who B.G. portrays as fool, friend, and legend being disrespected by Cash Money — all in the same album. You’ll need a crash course in Cash Money and New Orleans rap history to figure out all the references on the album, but if you’re hip to it, Life After Cash Money is fascinating. In B.G.’s eyes, Slim got punky and pushy, overstepped his thug-life boundaries, and paid for it hard. It’s tough love and a rare warning from the street’s inner circle, a place where one brash night at the club can earn you a price on your head. B.G.’s slow and lazy Southern style might make him seem flippant about Slim’s untimely death, but longtime listeners can school you. B.G.’s role in the game leaves him no time for tears — he’s too busy “trying to make a dollar out of 15 cents,” according to the excellent “Geezy Were U Been.” He gushes out the respect for the man in the liner notes, and the party jam “Like That” is an excellent collaboration with Slim that wouldn’t sound nearly as good if the duo weren’t like kin. His comments on Juvenile’s return to Cash Money are just as fascinating since he has absolutely no beef with the rapper. B.G.’s just too busy building his own Chopper City empire by any means necessary to care what Juve is doing, although he wishes him the best of luck. They’re all refreshing viewpoints and proof B.G. is one of the most insightful rappers in the Southern thug scene. Too bad the production is often trashy or unimaginative and the rapper is way too high in the mix for most of the album. Outsiders might hear it as another cheap album from the South, but followers of the B.G. story couldn’t really ask for more lyrically. It’s like cracking open his — most likely nonexistent — diary and one of the most vivid examples of “don’t hate the player, hate the game” on CD. ~ David Jeffries, Rovi Performers: Nathan Hughes – Percussion |

Real Animal $14.38 It may be simplistic to describe Alejandro Escovedo’s 2006 album The Boxing Mirror as a record inspired by the artist’s brush with death, but given the record’s back story — it was recorded as Escovedo was recovering from a near-fatal bout with Hepatitis C — it’s hard not to imagine its brave and often dazzling creative ambition was fueled by Escovedo’s knowledge that these could be his last words as a musician. Two years later, a healthier and stronger Escovedo returned to the studio to record his ninth studio album, Real Animal, and by comparison this is a leaner, more tightly focused session; in fact, this is the strongest rock album Escovedo has made since his 1997 album with Buick MacKane, The Pawn Shop Years. It’s easy to tag Real Animal as a less ambitious and artful collection than The Boxing Mirror, but viewed on its own merits this ranks with the best and most powerful music of Escovedo’s career. Like The Boxing Mirror, which was produced by John Cale, Real Animal was recorded with a producer who worked with some of Escovedo’s primal influences, Tony Visconti, and his recordings with David Bowie and T. Rex doubtless helped him connect with Escovedo the smart but swaggering rocker in a way Cale did not; this set of songs is every bit as intelligent and emotionally resonant as Escovedo’s best work, but it moves with a taut energy and insistent force that informs even the quieter, acoustic oriented numbers, such as the bluesy “People (We’re Only Gonna Live So Long),” and the plaintive “Hollywood Hills.” While Escovedo wrote the tunes on Real Animal with Chuck Prophet, the songs bear his stylistic hallmarks and melodic sensibilities throughout, and these stories are dotted with places and events from Escovedo’s past — discovering music as a kid (“Golden Bear”), his days as a San Francisco punk rocker (“Nun’s Song”), flirting with the New York bohemian scene (“Chelsea Hotel ’78″), and barnstorming with a rock & roll band (“Chip ‘N’ Tony”). Even when the cues to Escovedo’s past aren’t obvious, there’s too much heart, soul, and blood in this music to not to have come directly from his heart, and he’s seemingly incapable of singing from any other place, giving this music an emotional power that reaches down to the soul. If The Boxing Mirror was a work influenced by the shadow of mortality, Real Animal is an album about life — both as survival and as the faces and moments that fill our days on this Earth. How many artists could make two masterpieces in a row that are so different? And how much do you want to bet that Escovedo still has one or two more records this good in him? ~ Mark Deming, Rovi Performers: Brian Standefer – Vocals (Background), Cello; Chuck Prophet – Vocals (Background), Guitar; |

Ghost Is Not Real $22.39 Leave it up to a band from Finland to make a lap steel guitar sound downright extraterrestrial. Following on the heels of the band’s critically acclaimed first album and the slew of rare vinyl records and EPs independently released by the group’s founder, Marko Nyberg, Husky Rescue is poised to divide and conquer, albeit gently, on their second album, Ghost Is Not Real. Nyberg is in many respects an apt set builder — his strengths lie in his ability to set a scene and provide a hazy, gauzy atmosphere for Reeta-Leena Korhola’s fragile vocals to hang in. And this is why comparisons to Air come so readily — like Air, Nyberg aims for a feeling, not an explicit narrative. Granted, Nyberg’s instrumentation is very Air-like as well; squinchy retro synthesizers and acoustic guitars abound, as well as the occasional alto flute (an immediate touchstone for Air’s 10,000 Hz Legend). “Diamonds in the Sky” sounds a lot like Air, all the way from the acoustic guitar loop to the synth whooshes and sensual, if cryptic, vocals. But unlike their French counterparts, Husky Rescue is just a smidgen more rock & roll, which might be one of the reasons why they were able to hitch a ride on the Lollapalooza train the year before this album arrived in stores. Most tracks are able to handle this aspect; “My Ghost Home,” for example, manages to lasso elements of indie rock and electronica together to memorable effect, and it’s the best track on the album as a result. The one outright rock & roll track on the album, “Nightless Night,” feels a little contrived, though — Husky Rescue is at their best when they’re loping along on gentle synthesizers, and in this instance they sound somewhat stiff and uncomfortable. The band battles with self-conscious rock & roll and slightly limp slow songs (the three-part “Blueberry Tree” sequence grows overpoweringly saccharine at times), but they’re ultimately saved by Nyberg’s whimsy and inventiveness. ~ Margaret Reges, Rovi Performers: Marko Nyberg – Ambience, Rhythm Box, Pianette, Omnichord, Wurlitzer, Moog Synthesizer, E-Bow, Arp, Glockenspiel, Baritone, Balalaika, Cello, Sound Effects, Voices, Bells, Handclapping, Fender Rhodes, Keyboards, Piano (Electric), Vocals, Bass, Guitar (Acoustic); Ville Riippa – Pianette, Arp, Sound Effects, Handclapping, Fender Rhodes, Percussion, Synthesizer, Organ; Teppo Mäkynen – Vibraphone; Anssi Sopanen – Drums, Percussion; Miika Colliander – Guitar (Nylon String), Lap Steel Guitar, Guitar (Electric), Guitar (Acoustic); M |

Soft Money $13.58 Much has been made about producer/rapper Jel’s love of the antique SP-1200 sampler and how his work pays homage to golden age hip-hoppers like Mantronix and Marley Marl. Soft Money sounds unlike anything Jel’s heroes constructed, but it recalls them both philosophically and deep, deep within in the groove. The limited sampling-time capabilities of the SP-1200 create clean, tight, and gripping loops on top of which Jel piles paranoid, noir landscapes and the occasional vocal or rap. Kicking the album off with his own understated vocal track “To Buy a Car,” Jel challenges listeners — almost subliminally — to free themselves of material desires with a funky, accessible track beneath. As the album progresses, rebellion is kept just below the surface as whispers of revolution weave in and out of serpentine yet funky terrain. Guest vocalist Stephanie Böhm (from Couch and Ms. John Soda) blissfully dream about personal development through human interaction instead of material goods on “All Around,” while Jel himself drops spiritual metaphors and references to the Swiftboat Veterans on the stream of consciousness “Soft Money, Dry Bones.” After all this, the bitter “WMD” is a sucker punch, breaking the spell with venomous lyrics pointed at “unfairly elected liars,” “freelance extremists,” and “governments that conspire.” It’s the dramatic climax of the album that slowly fades away and then departs with the near-novelty number “Chipmunk Technique,” a throwaway track that pokes fun at Kanye West and his followers’ love of the sped-up R&B sample. It’s clever, but it’s way out of place and easy enough to remove on repeat listens. Otherwise, Soft Money has a firm foundation, with SP-1200 fetishism being just one small sliver of its appeal. ~ David Jeffries, Rovi Performers: Wes Winship – Fonts; Dosh – Fender Rhodes; Wise Intelligent – Rap; Andrew Broder – Guitar; Hervé Salters – Synthesizer; Steffi Bohm – Vocals |

Love vs Money $12.78 Between the December 2007 release of Love/Hate and March 2009 release of Love vs Money, the-Dream’s dominance as a songwriter, producer, and solo artist had not faded. When the latter album was released, Mr. Nash’s output was all over the radio, just as it was when the former came out. Beyoncé’s “Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It)” and Mariah Carey’s “Touch My Body” had been to the top of the Hot 100 amidst a string of smaller successes that included Jamie Foxx’s “Just Like Me,” merely a Top Ten R&B hit, and Usher’s “Trading Places,” which was too thematically and structurally off-center to be massive. The number one R&B single at the time, Foxx’s “Blame It,” was neither written nor produced by Nash, but it quoted him. “Rockin’ That Sh**,” this album’s lead single, had just become his fourth consecutive solo Top Ten R&B single, and a duet with Mariah Carey, “My Love,” was well on its way to becoming number five. He was in his own orbit.Love vs Money, like Love/Hate, was made with producers Christopher “Tricky” Stewart and Carlos “L.O.S. da Mystro” McKinney, and it continues Nash’s never-ending song cycle about his life as a chest-puffing softy who will get “all up on you like a white tee on a thug” and “circle the stars and bring you one back.” Sonically, there are only slight variations on what he and his collaborators had been serving up for over a couple years, with swishing and panning percussion accents, droning and buzzing synths, syrupy vocal interjections, and unexpected hook deployment from every angle. The song most directly connected to Love/Hate is “Sweat It Out,” essentially a slow jam version of “Playin’ in Her Hair,” sung just as sweetly: “She just got her hair did but you know I can’t stop this/I told you once we finish that I would get your shit fixed.” The album is heavier on ballads and, with “Fancy” and “Right Side of My Brain,” it stretches out, shifting from a melancholy six-minute beat tease (where an awed Dream loses all control to a mate with expensive taste) to an emotionally bruised stomp (a regretful kiss-off). Ultimately, Love vs Money is Love/Hate’s equal, stuffed with hooks, ceaselessly absorptive productions, and clever and often funny wordplay — “Now if they ask you can I sing like Usher, say no/But I can make you sing like Mariah, ooooooooh” being the most amusing of them all, though “I’m all up on you like a monster truck” runs a close second for switching up the R. Kelly woman-as-vehicle metaphor. ~ Andy Kellman, Rovi Performers: Lee Blaske – Strings; Dre Bowman – Bass; Kanye West – Vocals |

Love vs Money [Clean] $12.74 Between the December 2007 release of Love/Hate and March 2009 release of Love vs Money, the-Dream’s dominance as a songwriter, producer, and solo artist had not faded.

Money Music $11.18 A cover photograph of a dog wearing a hat with its big, ugly tongue thrust into the foreground offers an introduction of sorts to Dollar Store’s Money Music. It’s as if the band is saying “the music that the listener is getting ready to experience is in your face, down to earth, and real, though not necessarily ‘pretty.’” The opener makes good on this promise. “Money Music” is a rocking track that rolls out of the speakers, shrinking the distance between the band and the listener. The band — bassist/vocalist Alan Doughty, guitarist Tex Schmidt, guitarist/organist Dean Schlabowske, and drummer/vocalist Joe Camarillo — accomplishes this immediacy with a tight, muscular approach that is more rock than alternative country. From here, Dollar Store seldom let up, delivering song after song (e.g., “Wasting Away” and “Twisting in the Wind”) that rock hard, seldom run over three and a half minutes, and feature crack ensemble work only occasionally interrupted by an aggressive guitar solo. For those wishing for a slight break in the breakneck pacing, the sixth cut, “One Red Cent, One Thin Dime,” provides a nice stopgap as well as a good example of a well-done rock ballad. Dollar Store probably qualify as alternative country, though the band’s ability to push beyond the genre’s usual clichés tempts one to search for another category (though it’s hard to imagine a rock band taking a crack at “In the Gravel Yard”). Wherever Money Music winds up in the CD rack, however, it will please old fans, lovers of classic rock, and folks who fancy alternative country. ~ Ronnie D. Lankford, Jr., Rovi Performers: Tex Schmidt – Lead, Guitar (Rhythm); Alan Doughty – Vocals, Bass; Dean Schlabowske – Lead, Guitar (Rhythm), Organ, Vocals, Guitar; Joe Camarillo – Drums, Vocals |

We’re in the Money $6.38 This ensemble lead by U.K. expatriate Keith Ingham patterns itself on those outstanding small groups which let the bop revolution pass them by and stayed with a more refined approach to jazz. The Manhattan Swingtet finds musical antecedents in small groups led by Teddy Wilson, Benny Goodman, Tiny Grimes, Ike Quebec, and Earl “Fatha” Hines. Perhaps the Ingham group is a bit more suave than these groups with its swing a bit more sophisticated. Even on tunes where the title hints at some wild things to come, there’s a touch of restraint, as on “Celestial Boogie” where Ingham moves over to the small upright celeste. But the group does let its hair down on some tracks as on the title tune “We’re in the Money” when Peter Ecklund’s laughing trumpet leads the way. In contrast, “A Room With a View” returns to a less hectic stance with Bobby Gordon’s middle-register clarinet out front and once again Ingham being aristocratic on the celeste. Although euphonious throughout the session, songs like “Mighty Like the Blues” reveal the essence of melodic harmony as Gordon and Ecklund engage in musical byplay that can only be characterized as angelic. Tunes like “Gee, But You’re Swell” and “Comes Love” conjure up images of cordial times over drinks at a swank New York lounge. In addition to Gordon and Ecklund, oft-recorded guitarist Chris Flory makes a major contribution on such cuts as “Indian Summer.” Ingham is probably better known to many for his accompanist skill. He was musical director for Susannah McCorkle and backed such vocalists as Maxine Sullivan and Joyce Breach. But during his active and varied career, he also recorded with Bob Wilbur, Bud Freeman, and the World’s Greatest Band. So he is very much at home in a solely instrumental setting as this album so entertainingly demonstrates. Coming up with just the right mix of up- and medium-tempo material and ballads, along with a blues number or two, We’re in the Money is jazz at its cosmopolitan best. Recommended. ~ Dave Nathan, Rovi Performers: Keith Ingham – Celeste, Piano; Bobby Gordon – Clarinet; Chris Flory – Guitar; Murray Wall – Bass; Peter Ecklund – Trumpet; Steve Little – Drums |

Make the Cowboy Robots Cry $7.99 Beachwood Sparks don’t like being fenced into any one particular musical pasture. While their critics obviously have no trouble pointing out the band’s love of the Byrds and the Flying Burrito Brothers, they’ll often neglect to mention how the band might also drop in a tottering “Interstellar Overdrive” organ riff or tear off on a psychedelic space rock tangent. Their spirited cover of “By Your Side” on last year’s Once We Were Trees also revealed they were liable to make a whimsical pop culture statement without so much as tipping their hand why they would cover Sade’s hit in the first place (talk about smooth operators). Make the Cowboy Robots Cry, however, is their most adventurous turn yet, a real reflection of where they are now and where they’re possibly headed next. The focus on this wistful six-song EP — which clocks in at just over 30 minutes — is where it has been all along, placed front and center on Chris Gunst’s tender but frail vocals and the band’s lilting harmonies (think Smile-era Beach Boys). This release, however, also finds them straying from the Cosmic American path to add electronic and post-rock elements along the way. Some of it sounds like Spiritualized trying to cover the ballads on The Notorious Byrd Brothers. According to bassist/vocalist Brent Rademaker, they were also listening to Dennis Wilson’s Pacific Ocean Blue while ensconced in the studio. It makes sense, as some of that classic and somewhat undiscovered album’s cosmic stoner vibe has managed to find its way into these grooves. No doubt the additional production and instrumental aid by Jimmy Tamborello (Strictly Ballroom, Dntel, Figurine) had its effect on their sound. This EP also marks the return of drummer Jimi Hey (Strictly Ballroom), who had originally played with them early in their career; Aaron Sperske, meanwhile, has rejoined Kurt Heasley’s Lilys. There are many highlights among the half-dozen tracks: “Hibernation” resounds with somnolent beauty, all sleepy-eyed and soft to the touch, while “Ponce de Leon Blues” — with friend Mia Doi Todd’s sultry backing vocals — is a soulful tune that wobbles along, accompanied by the sound of a stylus stuck in a sun-warped slab of vinyl. ~ Bryan Thomas, Rovi Performers: Chris Gunst – Harmonica, Banjo, Vocals, Guitar; Ben Knight – Vocals, Guitar (Acoustic); Brent Rademaker – Keyboards, Vocals, Bass; Dave Scher – Pedal Steel, Organ, Guitar (Acoustic), Vocals; Jimi Hey – Glockenspiel, Drums, Vocals; Paul Larson – Guitar (Acoustic) |

Taking the Long Way Home $12.78 Recorded live at one of the Los Angeles Jazz Institute’s legendary four-day jazz convention/festivals, Taking the Long Way Home features altoist Bud Shank joined by a specially assembled big band. The arrangements are mostly by Mike Barone, Bob Cooper, Manny Albam, and Bob Florence with Shank being the main soloist throughout. Tenor saxophonist Doug Webb is prominent interacting with Shank on “The Night Has a Thousand Eyes,” trumpeter Carl Saunders has a heated spot on “Limes Away,” and Florence plays piano on his lengthy “Taking the Long Way Home.” Shank’s warm alto solos, his verbal introductions of each selection, and the tightness and spirit of the band (despite only having one or two rehearsals) make this a real keeper. ~ Scott Yanow, Rovi Performers: Brian Williams – Reeds; Doug Webb – Reeds; Jack Nimitz – Reeds; Keith Bishop – Reeds; Lanny Morgan – Reeds; Andy Martin – Trombone; Bob Florence – Piano; Bud Shank – Sax (Alto); Carl Saunders – Trumpet; Charlie Morillas – Trombone; |

Ain’t in It for the Money $11.18 Micky & the Motorcars play straight-ahead alternative country-rock, delivering weary tales of lost chances, romantic misfires and lonely moments with just enough pop edge to place them somewhere between Steve Earle and R.E.M., although they lack (or avoid) the former’s political agenda and the latter’s elliptical approach to lyrics. Lead singer Micky Braun’s autumnal baritone gives songs like “July, You’re a Woman,” “Ain’t in It for the Money,” and the strong ballad that closes the album, “Holdin’ On, Long Gone,” a kind of exhausted resiliency, and if the group takes few chances, they also don’t fly off the road, either, giving this, their second album, a comfortable unity of tone. One of the obvious highlights here is the deadpan “Miserable Year,” which is essentially a litany of my-dog-died reasons for being emotionally down and out, and includes the wonderful lyrics “then my roommate said he was moving/he’d fallen in love.” Micky & the Motorcars don’t push the boundaries of alt-country too much, but in the end, that is a big part of their charm, and they’re just fresh enough to make these songs of emotional exhaustion sound oddly hopeful. ~ Steve Leggett, Rovi Performers: Cody Braun – Vocal Harmony, Harmony Vocals; Michael Braun – Vocal Harmony, Harmony Vocals, Guitar (Rhythm), Vocals; Michael Ramos – Wurlitzer, Organ (Hammond), Percussion; Gary Braun – Vocal Harmony, Harmonica, Harmony Vocals, Vocals, Guitar (Electric); Joseph Deeb – Hammond B3, Slide Guitar, Vocals (Background), Guitar (Electric); Mark McCoy – Guitar (Bass); Micky Braun – Guitar (Acoustic), Vocals; Shan |

Money Shot $13.58 Ex-Greyboy Allstar Robert Walter continued to establish his own name with this 2000 release. Following the success of the Gary Bartz collaboration Spirit of ’70 (1996), the keyboardist assembled his Robert Walter’s 20th Congress for the recording of the Health and Fitness EP three years later. Money Shot finds Walter, Chris Stillwell (bass), Cochemea Gastelum (alto sax, flute), George Sluppick (drums), and Chuck Padra (percussion) stretching out over an hour on their first full-length. There hadn’t been any major developments in the yearlong gap; all the musicians are in fine form and the electric jazz-funk sound of the 1970s continues to be the guide. Regardless, these are fine settings to showcase the musicianship of the band as a whole and Walter in particular. The leader employs a hefty keyboard arsenal of the Wurlitzer/Hammond/Fender sort, occasionally changing the flavor with acoustic piano. Not surprisingly, the more engaged Walter is, the more engaging the overall results. On the best music here, thought after thought spring from his fingers without a single break in the flow. His grasp of musical dynamics means that you will undoubtedly be following right along with him. The title track is a magnificent centerpiece: a journey into the cosmic jazz heart à la Mwandishi era Herbie Hancock/Weather Report. Its shape-shifting, disjointed groove is broken by astral-tinged flights of fancy that increasingly head for stranger territory. “Blues for Y2K” follows the lead. Dispensing with opening procedures, Stillwell and Sluppick dive right in, only to settle into a lazy groove once they’ve reached their destination. In the process, they almost lose their way, but the group always seems to maintain a sense of adventure, even when the improvisations seem to be meandering. ~ Nathan Bush, Rovi Performers: Cochemea Gastelum – Electric Saxophone, Tambourine, Flute, Sax (Alto); Robert Walter – Fender Piano, Keyboard Bass, Wurlitzer, Organ (Hammond), Fender Rhodes, Piano (Electric), Piano, Organ; Chuck Prada – Conga, Percussion; Dan Prothero – Recorder; Chris Stillwell – Bass; Elgin Park – Guitar (Electric); George Sluppick – Drums, Percussion; Jake Najor – Drums; |

The Real Folk Blues/More Real Folk Blues $11.14 Like other entries in the Chess Real Folk Blues series, Sonny Boy Williamson’s The Real Folk Blues and More Real Folk Blues (here combined onto one CD) were not really folk, and not really regular albums. Rather, they were somewhat arbitrarily chosen compilations, titled to appeal to the crowd that had gotten turned onto the blues during the 1960s folk revival. In Williamson’s case, all 24 tracks were done between 1960 and 1964, save “Dissatisfied,” which dates from 1957. Because the standard of the electric blues on this disc is very good, whether on the smaller-combo workouts or ones that add organ or saxes, one hates to discuss it dispassionately in terms of whether it’s really necessary or advisable to fit into your collection. But the presence of other comprehensive Williamson anthologies on the market, and the lack of any real coherent theme to this particular grouping of songs, makes that necessary. If you have the one-disc His Best CD, this doesn’t make a bad supplement; it does repeat eight songs from His Best, it’s true, but it has 16 songs that are not on that collection. Conversely, if you have the more extensive two-CD Essential anthology, you’ll find only eight songs here that aren’t on Essential, which means rather short value. At any rate, this does have several of his best and most familiar songs: “One Way Out,” “Bye Bye Bird,” “Help Me,” “Nine Below Zero,” and “Down Child.” The eight songs that don’t show up on either His Best or Essential are worth having, whether you get them here or on another disc, the highlights of those being “Got to Move” (with cool gospel organ), the bouncy “Peach Tree,” and the novelty rap “The Hunt,” which sounds like an attempt to match the success of Bo Diddley’s similarly constructed “Say Man.” ~ Richie Unterberger, Rovi Performers: Sonny Boy Williamson – Harmonica, Vocals; Al Duncan – Drums; Billy “The Kid” Emerson – Organ; Buddy Guy – Guitar; Clifton James – Drums; Donald Hankins – Sax (Baritone); Fred Below – Drums; Jack Meyers – Bass; Jarrett Gibson – Sax (Tenor); |

Money and Cigarettes $7.18 Money and Cigarettes marked several important turning points in Eric Clapton’s recording career. It was his debut release on his own Duck imprint within Warner Bros.’ Reprise Records subsidiary. It was also the first album he made after coming to terms with his drinking problem by giving up alcohol. Newly focused and having written a batch of new songs, he became dissatisfied with his longtime band and fired them, with the exception of second guitarist Albert Lee. In their place, he hired session pros like Stax Records veteran bassist Donald “Duck” Dunn and Muscle Shoals drummer Roger Hawkins, also bringing in guest guitarist Ry Cooder. His new songs reflected on his changed condition, with “Ain’t Going Down,” a thinly veiled musical rewrite of the Jimi Hendrix arrangement of “All Along the Watchtower,” serving as a statement of purpose that declared, “I’ve still got something left to say.” “The Shape You’re In” was a criticism of his wife for her alcoholism that concluded, “I’m just telling you baby ’cause I’ve been there myself,” while the lengthy acoustic ballad “Pretty Girl” and “Man in Love” reaffirmed his feelings for her. The album’s single was the relatively slight pop tune “I’ve Got a Rock n’ Roll Heart,” but Clapton’s many blues fans must have been most pleased with the covers of Sleepy John Estes’ “Everybody Oughta Make a Change” (significantly placed as the album’s leadoff track), Albert King’s “Crosscut Saw,” and Johnny Otis’ “Crazy Country Hop.” For all the changes and the high-powered sidemen, though, Money and Cigarettes ended up being just an average effort from Clapton, which his audience seems to have sensed since, despite the Top 20 placement for the single, it became his first album in more than six years to miss the Top Ten and fail to go gold. ~ William Ruhlmann, Rovi Performers: Albert Lee – Keyboards, Guitar (Acoustic), Guitar, Guitar (Electric), Vocals; Chuck Kirkpatrick – Vocals (Background), Vocals; Donald “Duck” Dunn – Bass, Guitar (Bass); Eric Clapton – Guitar (Electroacoustic), Slide Guitar, Guitar (Steel), Guitar (Electric), Vocals, Guitar; John Sambataro – Vocals (Background), Vocals; Roger Hawkins – Drums; Ry Cooder – Slide Guitar, Guitar (Steel), Guitar (Electric), Guitar |

Make It Big $7.17 The title was a promise to themselves, Wham!’s assurance that they would make it big after struggling out of the gates the first time out. They succeeded on a grander scale than they ever could have imagined, conquering the world and elsewhere with this effervescent set of giddy new wave pop-soul, thereby making George Michael a superstar and consigning Andrew Ridgeley to the confines of Trivial Pursuit. It was so big and the singles were so strong that it’s easy to overlook its patchwork qualities. It’s no longer than eight tracks, short even for the pre-CD era, and while the four singles are strong, the rest is filler, including an Isley Brothers cover. Thankfully, it’s the kind of filler that’s so tied to its time that it’s fascinating in its stilted post-disco dance-pop rhythms and Thatcher/Reagan materialism — an era that encouraged songs called “Credit Card Baby.” If this dichotomy between the A-sides and B-sides is far too great to make this essential, the way Faith later would be, those A-sides range from good to terrific. “Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go” is absolute silliness whose very stupidity is its strength, and if “Everything She Wants” is merely agreeable bubblegum, “Freedom” is astounding, a sparkling Motown rip-off rippling with spirit and a timeless melody later ripped off by Noel Gallagher. Then, there’s the concluding “Careless Whisper,” a soulful slow one where Michael regrets a one-night stand over a richly seductive background and a yearning saxophone. It was an instant classic, and it was the first indication of George Michael’s strengths as a pop craftsman — which means it points the way to Faith, not the halfhearted Edge of Heaven. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, Rovi Performers: Andrew Ridgeley – Vocals, Guitar, Guitar (Electric); Andy Richards – Keyboards; Colin Graham – Trumpet; David Baptiste – Saxophone; Dean Estes – Bass; George Michael – Vocals (Background), Keyboards, Vocals; Hugh Burns – Guitar (Acoustic), Guitar, Guitar (Electric); Paul Spong – Trumpet; Steve Gregory – Saxophone; Tommy Eyre – Keyboards; Trevor Morrell – Drums; |

For Real $13.58 For Real is another strong soul/blues cocktail served up by Little Milton, although it runs a bit heavy in the ballad department. Granted, Milton is plenty versatile enough to adopt the sentimental croon required to cover “To Love Somebody” and “A Rainy Night in Georgia,” but he’s really at his best when he’s tearing into the blues with a guitar in his hands. Two slow blues numbers steal the show here: “Blues for Mr. C,” which is a straightforward 12-bar burner, and “If That’s What You Wanna Do,” which rides a slicker, urban groove in the circa-’70s Albert King tradition. (These two songs are the only originals on the entire album.) The more upbeat R&B material on For Real generally hits its mark, albeit with a thick coat of production polish that could have used some thinning out. Not exactly the cream of the crop of his work on Malaco, but this album gets the job done. ~ Ken Chang, Rovi Performers: Jewel Bass – Vocals (Background); Jim Williamson – Flugelhorn, Trumpet; Quanda Brooks – Vocals (Background); Steve Patrick – Flugelhorn, Trumpet; Thomisene Anderson – Vocals (Background); Bessie – Guitar; Chalmers Davis – Keyboards; Charles Rose – Trombone; Clayton Ivey – Keyboards; |

Make Sound $9.32 If you’re in the mood for fun and simple power pop-punk, there’s really no need to look any further than Carbondale, IL’s the Copyrights. Just as their first two records proved, you don’t need fancy studio tricks or even much variation on a few chords to make an irresistible album that’s exploding with enthusiasm, smarts, and enough hooks to keep you moving and singing along for, well, at least 30 minutes. Make Sound is a summertime record, perfect for driving around with the windows down and dancing like an idiot. The sound of a cassette tape being popped in opens the record (and the tape nicely flips over after track seven), ushering in the Copyrights’ brightest and poppiest set yet. Tracks like “Knee Deep” and “Thinking with the Lights On” are catchy blasts of energy, but this time it’s in a way not quite so indebted to Ben Weasel and company. They’ve got their own sound. So sure, the album is a bit more pop than punk — and the production is way cleaner — but the same muscle and spirited restlessness power through these songs as always. “Kids of the Blackhole” is the anthem for anyone stuck in a small town, living paycheck to paycheck and loving it, while the singsongy chorus of “The Company” makes maliciousness sound like fun. There’s a lot more thought going into these 14 straightforward tracks than one might initially think, yet the Copyrights never take themselves too seriously — take the good-natured humor of “Planet Earth Nineteen-Ninety-Four,” where “We made excuses to not like Green Day/But we wore the tape out anyway/What our friends don’t know won’t hurt them/Of course they were doing the same thing.” And ultimately it’s that natural mixture of fun and smarts that makes the guys so likable and their record stand out among their pop-punk peers. Good, good stuff. ~ Corey Apar, Rovi Performers: Adam Fletcher – Vocals, Bass; Brendan Kelly – Vocals; Brett Hunter – Guitar, Vocals; Daniel Schafer – Vocals; Jeff Funburg – Vocals, Guitar; Luke McNeill – Drums; Zack Rivethead – Vocals |

Make It Dark $11.98 When Chantilly, Virginia’s Twisted Tower Dire began flying the flag of traditional/power heavy metal in the mid-’90s, the alternative rock revolution was in full effect and they may have had a better chance of getting noticed by playing polka. But as irony would have it, not only did metal duly make a comeback in America during the years that followed, but the group’s particular musical persuasion has of late been healthier than ever, making 2011′s Make It Dark — their fifth studio album — something of a victory lap. And a victory lap is exactly what this shiny chrome machine was built for, if turbocharged, pedal-to-the-metal speedsters like “Mystera” and “The Stone” are any indication, with drums pounding the asphalt, riffs revving the engines, twin guitar harmonies pumping like dual pistons, and vocalist Jonny Aune blowing his horn, as it were. Other offerings like “Snow Leopard,” “White Shadow,” and the title cut slacken the pace just enough to remind one and all that it’s actually fantasy themes — not racing stories — that interest Twisted Tower Dire, and the eight-minute epic “Beyond the Gate” definitively hammers the, errr…hammer home on that matter. At the end of the day, “The Only Way” and “Torture Torture” are the only disappointments to be found here, yet parts of them still roar and the solos traded by guitarists Scott Waldrop and Dave Boyd are typically highlights in their own right, thus making it possible to ignore some of these two tunes’ cornier ‘80s metal transgressions. And hey, give Twisted Tower Dire a break…they’ve fought their way from the back of the pack and richly deserve this glimpse of the checkered flag. ~ Eduardo Rivadavia, Rovi Performers: John E.

The Soul of Money Records, Vol. 3 $15.98 This is the third and last volume of Kent/Ace’s compilations of material from the small Los Angeles-based Money label, with a couple dozen tracks (four previously unreleased) of soul from the mid-’60s to the early 1970s. Money never really established a signature sound or, for that matter, sold many records, Bettye Swann being the only name here that will mean anything to the average fan. By its specialist nature, this is the kind of CD that only very serious soul fans will seek out, let alone return to again and again. But as these things go, it’s above average, though plainly stated it’s consistently derivative of trends initiated by bigger labels and scenes. The Choice of Colors’ “If She Wants to Go” is so close in feel to the Norman Whitfield-produced late-’60s Temptations, in fact, that it sounds almost like a Temptations outtake with less talented guide vocalists. Eddie Horan’s “I’m Gonna Speak Out” — as it happens, the cut that’s sequenced directly afterward — is a ringer for the early-’70s Norman Whitfield-produced Temptations, with its hard funk slant and socially conscious lyrics, and is a definite highlight of this compilation. Other cuts likewise echo in-vogue soul styles pleasurably if unoriginally, like Filmore Street Soul Rebellions’ “Put Your Weight on It” part two, a dynamic instrumental “party” soul outing with traces of James Brown, boogaloo, and Dyke & the Blazers. There ain’t much in the way of real memorable material, though Swann’s “I Will Not Cry” comes oh-so-close to sounding like a mainstream 1967 soul hit. Other songs take cues from Motown, doo wop, early Philly soul, and organ-dominated instrumental R&B, often with carefully crafted production and energetic vocals that are clearly on a higher level than the actual strength of the tunes. ~ Richie Unterberger, Rovi Performers: Hank Jacobs – Organ |

Money Machine $18.39 Bands like Bigelf were supposed to appear on the scene as though fully-formed, often backed by major labels whose generous budgets allowed them to refine their complex arrangements and progressive ambitions in relative seclusion, only to emerge when absolutely ready: miraculously poised and godlike. But such luxuries became increasingly rare once record companies began sacrificing artist development in order to pour their funds into superficial pop music confections, forcing Bigelf, at least, to endure their growing pains in plain view, as evidenced by 1997′s decidedly flawed Closer to Doom EP. This gradual maturation process continues apace on 2000′s Money Machine, via notably improved production almost worthy of the insistently unorthodox pysch-doom creations of Damon Fox, which, for their part, finally begin to make sense despite meshing Woodstock’s summer of love and Altamont’s winter of despair in equal measures. To put it more simply, rarely have apocalyptically distorted Gibson SGs and bubbling Farsifa organs come together more lovingly, lasciviously, and explosively than on this album’s opening title track, “Neuropsychopathic Eye,” and “Ironheel,” all of which simultaneously celebrate their contradictory displays of brute force and graceful virtuosity. Elsewhere, surprisingly direct and compact songs like “Side Effects” and “(Another) Nervous Breakdown” boast particularly infectious chorus hooks, while hypnotic ballad “The Bitter End” delivers a suitably haunting postscript after Bigelf is done reinventing, not merely covering, Atomic Rooster’s “Death Walks Behind You.” And the especially memorable “Sellout” inaugurates Bigelf ‘s recurring fascination with stardom’s irresistible lure and inevitable moral decadence (later dissected even more capably by cuts like “Rock & Roll Contract” and “Money, It’s Pure Evil”), not that these guys would have recognized stardom at this point, had it slapped them across the butt-cheeks. All in due time, though, and there’s no doubt that Money Machine saw Bigelf inching closer to their lofty goals, one song at a time. ~ Eduardo Rivadavia, Rovi Performers: Duffy Snowhill – Bass |

Make It Christmas $10.38 Coming from a guy who released an album called Morning Wood and a song called “Rhymes with Truck,” and who has appeared naked as a jaybird on an album cover, one might think Make It Christmas is a “put the kids to bed” affair with all the breast jokes and beer drinking that usually come with Rodney Carrington. It’s anything but, as having teenaged kids has sent Carrington’s moral compass in a completely different direction, one that points to tradition, family values, good will toward men, and comfy sweaters, especially come Christmastime. Make It Christmas is the country comedian/television star turning Johnny Mathis, with his surprisingly good and extremely comfortable voice delivering a mixed bag of Christmas standards; new holiday music (including Carrington’s own “The Presents Under the Tree [Better Be for Me]“); and a handful of well-chosen, lesser-known numbers such as David Foster’s “Grown Up Christmas List.” While few will be knocked out by his vocal stylings, his likability and warmth are what matter most. There is plenty of both, front and center with support from either a lush orchestra or polished studio band led by producer/arranger Steve Dorff. The bittersweet and poignant “Camouflage and Christmas Lights” is that rare holiday song that speaks directly to military families, while the title track asks the age-old question of why peace on earth isn’t a year-round concern. Peace is the subtle theme of the album, and as Rodney successfully expresses its need and importance — with a little “Winter Wonderland” along the way — Make It Christmas ends up both an above average celebrity Christmas album and an easy recommendation to his legion of fans. ~ David Jeffries, Rovi Performers: John Wesley Ryles – Vocals (Background); Dean Parks – Guitar; George Doering – Guitar; Jimmy Nichols – Keyboards; John “4 Daddman” Robinson – Drums; Leland Sklar – Bass; Matt Rollings – Piano; Reggie Hamilton – Bass; Steve Dorff – Keyboards |

The Sound They Make $12.78 New Ruins describe their music as “Small Town Midwestern Gothic,” and that summary is good enough that Elzie Sexton and J. Caleb Means, the two musicians who comprise the group, ought to consider rock journalism as a sideline. While New Ruins’ first album, The Sound They Make, is brimming with pop hooks and hummable melody lines, an air of malaise permeates these 11 songs, and while this isn’t the typical gloom-struck synth wailing one usually associates with the word “goth,” the simple organic approach of this music (with acoustic guitars often high in the mix) generates a compelling and evocative unease all its own. Sexton and Means originally launched New Ruins as a home recording project, and there’s a modesty to their production and arrangements that suits the songs quite well; the open spaces in the arrangement on “Flowers” allows the refrain of “I’ve been in this town so long” to take on a weariness it might not have generated otherwise, the low-tech synthesizer on “Records” adds a very real charm as it floats over the simple percussion beds, and the drowsy vocals and insistent guitars of “Attic” suggest Dinosaur Jr. trying to be quiet for the benefit of their neighbors. While the material on The Sound They Make gets a bit samey by the end of the last track, the album also generates a tonal and thematic unity that adds to its power — New Ruins manage to make music that sounds both sad and pretty without seeming self-indulgent, and their moody palette is both imaginative and absorbing. It’s an impressive debut, though one hopes New Ruins have the sense not to stray too far from the concision that makes The Sound They Make so memorable. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi Performers: Elzie Sexton – Keyboards, Bass, Vocals, Guitar; J. Caleb Means – Bass, Drums, Vocals, Guitar |

For Real! $9.58 Although For Real! was at least Hampton Hawes’ 11th record as a leader, it was his first (and one of his relatively few) that included a horn player. The pianist matches quite well with the hard bop tenor of Harold Land (heard in his early prime), and the quartet outing, which also includes drummer Frank Butler, has an extra bonus in the playing of the brilliant bassist Scott LaFaro. Performing three bop standards (including “Crazeology”) and three originals (two of which were co-written by Land), pianist Hawes sounds inspired by the other players and is in top form throughout the generally memorable outing. ~ Scott Yanow, Rovi Performers: Frank Butler – Drums; Hampton Hawes – Keyboards, Piano; Harold Land – Sax (Tenor); Scott LaFaro – Bass |

This Way $14.38 With the release of This Way, Acoustic Alchemy’s guitarists Greg Carmichael and Miles Gilderdale celebrate a remarkable two decades since Red Dust & Spanish Lace established the British ensemble as an ever-evolving powerhouse of contemporary jazz. Carmichael and Gilderdale’s natural chemistry is very apparent on this set of loose and spirited songs, as is the soloing by the complementing musicians on such jazzy tracks as “Egg,” which has a very British, blues-drenched, straight-ahead sound. By contrast, “Ernie” has an exotic Latin jazz flavor complete with great solos by Terry Disley, Jeff Kashiwa, and trombonist Dennis Rollins. Rick Braun makes a guest appearance on “Carlos the King,” a racy rock, Latin, and blues fusion that also features Gilderdale’s electric guitar and Greg Grainger’s percussive energy. With as many brilliant players as there are in the ensemble, the concept of two acoustic guitar players is still the emotional heartbeat of the band’s sound. Carmichael and Gilderdale’s outstanding playing on “Out of Nowhere” and “This Way” is a sure testament to that concept. “Out of Nowhere” features a hypnotic, swaying acoustic melody over a gentle guitar harmony and light percussion line. The slow-burning title track features experimental synth textures similar to those heard on the early Acoustic Alchemy releases of the late ’80s that featured the group’s founders, Nick Webband Greg Carmichael. However, This Way acquaints both veteran and new listeners with the group’s updated legacy of positive and powerful music. ~ Paula Edelstein, Rovi Performers: Greg Carmichael – Guitar (Nylon String); Gary Grainger – Vocals (Background); Kevin Robinson – Flugelhorn, Trumpet; Rick Braun – Flugelhorn; Bert Smaak – Drums; Dennis Rollins – Trombone; Greg Grainger – Vocals (Background), Drums, Percussion; Jeff Kashiwa – Sax (Tenor); John Goldsby – Bass; |

The Way $19.19 The Way is the follow up to 2000′s One, which was one of the most acclaimed albums that year. Ian’s main instrument is the bass guitar, which takes the lead on three instrumentals, but as before, the album is a showcase for lead vocalists old and new. On ‘Brother’ he features Gavin Christopher , while newcomer Robin McKelle shines on ‘Movin’ On’ – destined to be one of this year’s biggest soulful dance tracks. The album has an organic feel throughout, with the cream of LA’s musicians on hand to lend some classy arrangements to the whole affair. Expansion. 2005. Performers: Tim Carmon – Fender Rhodes, Organ; Andre Delano – Saxophone; Andrew Dorsett – Keyboards; Craig T. Cooper – Guitar; Donavan Luke Henry – Vocals (Background), Vocals; Gavin Christopher – Vocals; Ian Martin – Synthesizer Bass, Fender Rhodes, Bass (Upright), Bass, Keyboards, Vocals, Synthesizer; Jason Joseph – Vocals; |

Smart Money (1933) (DVD) $18.95 Edward G. Robinson and James Cagney were hotter than smoking gats when Smart Money was released. Each actor was mere months removed from his star-making role – Little Caesar and The Public Enemy respectively – when they paired in a snappy tale that one might expect would be the first of many tough-guy collaborations. Alas, perhaps astonishingly, no. This is the only feature teaming the two legends. Robinson leads the way and Cagney rides shotgun in this brisk tale of barbers who go from cutting hair to cutting in on the gambling racket. It’s the right game for classic film fans (and adding to the fun is the first known screen appearance of prolific character actor Charles Lane). Grab a chair and ante up. |

That’s the Way It Is $10.19 Elvis’ live albums from the early ’70s contain a substantial store of quality material — dinner-show horn charts, strings, grandstanding vocals, and all. This 1970 offering from Las Vegas proves to be one of his best (it’s actually the soundtrack to Denis Sanders’ documentary of Elvis’ summer run at the International Hotel). Acting on his affinity for country-pop figures like Campbell and Mac Davis, Elvis especially shines on the slow to mid-tempo ballads “I Just Can’t Help Believin’” and “Just Pretend” (both seamless blends of torch song glitz and contemporary rock elements). And to provide the requisite amount of sweat for those nightly towel giveaways, the King works out extra hard on showstoppers like “Patch It Up” and “You Don’t Have to Say You Love Me.” Throughout the album, Presley sounds as commanding and powerful as he ever would and gets optimal backing by well oiled, Nashville-to-L.A. session luminaries like guitarist James Burton, bassist Jerry Scheff, and drummer Ronnie Tutt (Aretha Franklin’s ’60s backup singers, the Sweet Inspirations, deserve special mention as well). Also available as a deluxe three-disc set (including expanded concert highlights and rehearsal takes), That’s the Way It Is is essential listening for Elvis fans, both die-hard and casual. ~ Stephen Cook, Rovi Performers: Charlie Hodge – Vocal Harmony, Harmony Vocals, Guitar; Millie Kirkham – Vocals (Background), Vocals; The Imperials Quartet – Vocals (Background), Vocals; The Sweet Inspirations – Vocals (Background), Vocals; Charlie McCoy – Harmonica, Organ; Chip Young – Guitar; David Briggs – Piano; Elvis Presley – Vocals, Guitar; Ginger Holladay – Vocals; Glen D.

Old Money $11.98 Given its range, depth, and breadth, it’s utterly fitting that Old Money, the January 2009 offering from the increasingly prolific Omar Rodriguez-Lopez (guitarist, producer, composer, and arranger for the Mars Volta), is his debut for the mind-bending Stone’s Throw imprint. On this conceptual recording very loosely based around themes of childhood dreams, nightmares, and colonial capitalism, Rodriguez-Lopez and his musical partners — who include Juan Alderete de la Peña on bass; Marcel Rodriguez-Lopez on percussion and synths; Deantoni Parks, Cedric Bixler-Zavala, and Jon Theodore alternating on drums; and Adrian Terrazas-Gonzaleson winds — whip up the most ambitious stew he’s ever created. As a guitarist, Omar has continued absorbing the knotty winding path blazed by Frank Zappa. He’s also learned from him compositionally. This music may sound unhinged, loose, and utterly mind-melting in terms of its madness, but rest assured, it is scripted and recorded quite carefully. Check “Population Council’s Wet Dream,” as the trio of Omar (on theremin and synths as well as guitar), Alderete de la Peña, and Theodore create a power trio of a track that would not have sounded out of place on either Zappa’s Hot Rats or Billy Cobham’s Spectrum. The crisscrossing rhythms, key shifts, and dynamic changes that occur within this driving, intensely focused composition may feel at times like a jam, but it’s far too intricate for that. “Private Fortunes” is like its mirror image, even as Omar, who plays various keys and synths as well as bass and guitar, duets with Marcel. The faux strings, rubbery keyboard sounds, and blazing guitar solo interact beautifully with Marcel’s hand drums and Latin rhythms. The closest thing to an all-out jam here is the humorously titled “I Like the Rockefellers’ First Two Records, But After That…,” where layers of guitars and keyboards swirl around each other but are tempered by a dubby rhythm section keeping everything anchored in a single time signature — seemingly. But even it stretches and morphs after a bit. The set closes with the title track, the longest track here. It begins like one of Omar’s soundtrack compositions, with muted fuzzy guitars layered in wah-wah and reverb as well as controlled feedback and playing in harmonic extensions of one another, with killer breaks by Marcel and Alderete de la Peña’s popping bassline urging on the guitars. Marcel adds a clavinet to make things even more mutantly funky, but it just ROCKS! This may be the most over the top rock recording that Omar Rodriguez-Lopez has released to date, but it nonetheless contains all the imaginative and sophisticated musical elements that have made him so compelling as an artist. In fact, Old Money is so far-reaching, it will likely piss off some of his fans while making others nearly swoon with its unwieldy rockist excesses. As for winning new fans to his cause? You bet. ~ Thom Jurek, Rovi Performers: |

This Is for Real $8.78 The name of Pink Grease’s debut album, This Is for Real, must surely be another tongue-in-cheek gesture from this cheeky band; its Manic Street Preachers-like earnestness is decidedly at odds with the group’s trashy aesthetic. However, the band are in earnest about making the campiest, neon-brightest, most entertaining music they can, and for the most part they succeed. On This Is for Real, Pink Grease go for a more rock-based sound than they did on singles and EPs like All Over You, which provided the missing link between the electro-rock weirdness of fellow Sheffield citizens like Add N to (X) and Fat Truckers and the old-school glam, punk, and shockabilly that also linked them loosely with the garage rock revival. For fans of the band’s older material, the downplaying of Pink Grease’s synth buggery is a bit of a disappointment; even though it wasn’t the key to their sound, it did add a distinctive edge to their music. This Is for Real’s more polished production is another minor drawback, and is especially noticeable on the re-recorded version of “The Nasty Show,” which sounds sanitized compared to the crazed debauchery of the All Over You version. And while it’s admirable that This Is for Real features all-new material, aside from “The Nasty Show” and gloriously cheesy power ballad “Into My Heart” (which was made available previously as a Valentine’s Day-only download on Pink Grease’s website), some of the new songs just aren’t as interesting as the tracks on their singles and EPs. All nitpicking aside, This Is for Real is full of campy fun that takes the best from the Damned, Cramps, Stooges, New York Dolls, Bowie, and other demented, art-damaged types. The album gets off to a strong start with the glam garage-a-billy rave-up “Remember Forever”; the sexy but uptight grind of “Fever” and “The Pink G.R. Ease” (over the course of the album, the band name-checks itself as much as your average rapper or Jon Spencer Blues Explosion do), which features sleazy brass and lyrics that might as well be the band’s manifesto: “Freaky teenagers, c’mon fight the power!” And despite the few tracks that fizzle, This Is for Real also shows that Pink Grease can deliver some surprises: “Wind Up Bird” is a bittersweet, jangly piece of nihilistic pop with theremin-like synths, while the similarly poppy and downbeat breakup song “Peaches” sounds like some lost Ramones song played at half speed. Even if it’s not quite as strong a debut album as Pink Grease’s prior work suggested it might be, This Is for Real really does have a lot of hedonistic, cleverly mindless kicks to offer. ~ Heather Phares, Rovi Performers: Nicholas Collier – Machines, Sound Effects; Clare Grogan – Vocals (Background); Greasettes – Vocals (Background); |

The Way It Was $9.58 Despite his very erratic lifestyle, altoist Art Pepper never made a bad record. This collection is better than most. The first four titles team together Pepper with tenor saxophonist Warne Marsh, pianist Ronnie Ball, bassist Ben Tucker, and drummer Gary Frommer for generally intriguing explorations of four standards. One can feel the influence of Lennie Tristano (with Pepper in Lee Konitz’s place), although Pepper had his own sound and a more hard-swinging style. The success of the Pepper-Marsh front line makes one wish that they had recorded together again. The other three selections are leftovers from a trio of classic Pepper albums, and all are quite worthwhile. Pepper is heard backed by three separate rhythm sections, which include pianists Red Garland, Dolo Coker, or Wynton Kelly; either Paul Chambers or Jimmy Bond on bass; and Philly Joe Jones, Frank Butler, or Jimmy Cobb on drums. Overall, this album sticks to bop standards and finds Art Pepper in top form. ~ Scott Yanow, Rovi Performers: Art Pepper – Sax (Alto); Ben Tucker – Bass; Dolo Coker – Piano, Bass; Frank Butler – Drums; Gary Frommer – Drums; Jimmy Bond – Bass; Jimmy Cobb – Drums; Paul Chambers – Bass; Philly Joe Jones – Drums; Red Garland – Piano; |

One Way Ticket $14.38 The Nerves were a great band with lousy timing — they were a top-notch power pop trio who emerged on the L.A. rock scene in 1977, just as punk was becoming the next hipster sensation and about 18 months before the hookier end of new wave would have given them a shot at the big time. Peter Case went on to a memorable career fronting the Plimsouls and as a solo act, Paul Collins made a pair of great records as the leader of the Beat, and Jack Lee’s tune “Hanging on the Telephone” became a hit for Blondie, making it abundantly clear that the Nerves’ potential was very real and all three members could write and sing great songs, but during their all-too-brief existence the band self-released just one 7″ EP and supported it with a D.I.Y. tour before falling apart. One Way Ticket is by no means the album the Nerves never got to make, but at least it gathers the scraps the band left behind in one convenient package. The four songs from the legendary Nerves EP are all here, along with two other studio tracks intended for a follow-up single that was never released, another stray studio recording, a pair of home-recorded demos, and seven rough but exciting live tunes from a Nerves gig in Illinois. A Case and Collins living room tape, a pair of relevant post-Nerves tunes by the Jack Lee Band, and an embryonic version of the Plimsouls round out the package. Several of Collins’ songs would later appear on the first Beat album, and Case’s tunes show the smarts and energy he’d bring to the Plimsouls, but it’s Lee’s work that’s the real standout on this disc, and it makes one wonder how his career fizzled out after just one solo album. The piecemeal nature of One Way Ticket makes this a somewhat uneven listening experience, but the high points are pure, hooky bliss; the first seven songs sound like the first side to a terrific album, and the live recordings confirm that this band knew how to make their music work on-stage. One Way Ticket is a fine tribute to a band that came and went too quickly, and if you love ’70s power pop, this is archival stuff that practically demands a place in your library. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi Performers: Dave Pahoa – Vocals, Bass; Harlan Hollander – Guitar; Jack Lee – Vocals, Guitar; Louie Ramirez – Drums; Paul Collins – Drums, Vocals; Peter Case – Vocals, Bass, Guitar (Bass) |

Is This Real? $18.38 The production leaves much to be desired with its tinny-sounding drums, but, fortunately, the negatives don’t outweigh the positives on this album. Guitarist/vocalist Greg Sage writes fairly simplistic songs with power chords, but each melody infects your brain like a fever. Even though Sage is from Oregon, he sings in a New York-style slur not dissimilar to Joey Ramone. Throughout the album, there is a very dark and ominous feel to the material (e.g., “D-7″), but it’s made interesting on tracks like “Alien Boy,” which changes from 4/4 time to 2/4 time. Sage also has a unique guitar style where he strums chords and lets them sustain into feedback, which creates rich textures in the songs (e.g., “Potential Suicide” and “Don’t Know What I Am”). ~ Stephen Howell, Rovi Performers: Dave Koupal – Bass; Greg Sage – Guitar, Vocals; Sam Henry – Drums; Sampson Henry – Drums |

Don’t Get Mad, Get Money $11.19 Fredro Starr’s second solo album is a slight improvement over his first, despite the fact that there’s nothing in the way of original ideas from a production standpoint. Newcomers Porky and Kronic Tones rarely break out from faulty cloning heard throughout the album, whether they’re swiping pages from the playbooks of the Neptunes, Kanye West, or Just Blaze. The second-rate material Starr is given to work with still manages to make for a decent party record. The rapper, who’s in rather strong form throughout — without softening up too much — saves the record from being a total misfire. The tempering of the guest appearances is another saving grace. ~ Andy Kellman, Rovi Performers: Isaac Hayes – Sampling |

Money, Power & Respect $8.47 The LOX are some of the better rappers on the Bad Boy roster, more dexterous, clever, and hook-conscious than their mentor, Puff Daddy. That doesn’t necessarily mean that their debut, Money, Power & Respect, is better than Puff’s record, but it does mean that it’s frequently exciting and invigorating. Like most late-’90s hip-hop records, the album runs way too long and is bogged down by filler, but the very best moments equal anything that has been released by Bad Boy, and in many cases even surpasses it in terms of lyrical skills and energy. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, Rovi Performers: Carl Thomas – Rap; Chucky Thompson – Vocals (Background); DMX – Rap; Jadakiss – Rap; Lil’ Kim – Rap; Puff Daddy – Rap; Sheek – Rap; Styles P – Rap; Dame Grease – Keyboards; Kelly Price – Vocals |

Dream of Kings, A (DVD) $19.95 A powerful and touching drama set in Chicago’s vibrant Greek-American community, A Dream of Kings benefits from the regal talent of Anthony Quinn in a role he was born to play: Matsoukos, a proud, earthy optimist, very much like his unforgettable stage and screen Zorba.

On the Way $12.78 Although it weighs in at just over a half-hour, On the Way is an impressive solo debut from the Brazilian jazz guitarist Daniel Santiago. A member of mandolinist Hamilton de Holanda’s quintet, the Rio-based Santiago, who plays acoustically, works here with bassist Andre Vasconcellos and drummer Marcio Bahia on a set of songs composed and arranged by Santiago; the guitarist also co-produced, along with de Holanda and Marcos Portinari. The album, reportedly cut over a mere few days without rehearsal, aims to showcase Santiago in a multitude of settings and spans a gamut of environments, skipping directly from the rhythmic and ebullient opener, “Viewpoint,” to a pair of moodier, more relaxed pieces, the title track, and “Memory.” Santiago’s intuitive interactions with his musicians are never less than striking, while drummer Marcio Bahia, in particular, displays an acute sense of split-second timing, not only following Santiago’s frequent rhythmic and melodic shifts with ease, but leading the guitarist into tributaries he might not otherwise have drifted. On “Tribute to Baden” (that would be Baden Powell, the revered Brazilian composer/musician), Santiago hints at flamenco with his bold flourishes, while “Homesick,” which follows it, finds the guitarist repeating a looping, circular pattern that shapes into a trance-like ambience. Santiago is undeniably a technical wiz kid, but more importantly, his music leaves an emotional mark. ~ Jeff Tamarkin, Rovi Performers: Andre Vasconcellos – Bass; Daniel Santiago – Guitar; Marcio Bahia – Drums |

By the Way $11.02 The Red Hot Chili Peppers’ eighth studio album finds the California foursome exploring the more melodic freeways of harmony and texture, contrasting the gritty, funky side streets of their early days. Luckily, with this more sophisticated sound, the Peppers have not sacrificed any of their trademark energy or passions for life, universal love, and (of course) lust. Although they recorded the spiky Abbey Road EP in 1988, this album actually sounds a lot closer to the Beatles’ Abbey Road, with a little of Pet Sounds and elements of Phil Spector’s lushest arrangements all distilled through the band’s well-traveled funk-pop stylings. Harmony vocals and string arrangements have replaced some of the aggressive slap bass that the group was initially recognized for, but fans of both the gentle and the fierce Chili Peppers styles will embrace the title track and first single, “By the Way.” In fact, this song on its own could almost be a brief history of everything the Red Hot Chili Peppers have recorded: fiery Hollywood funk, gentle harmonies, a little bit of singing about girls, a little bit of hanging out in the streets in the summertime, some rapid-fire raps from Anthony Kiedis, some aggro basslines from Flea — the song plays like a three-and-a-half-minute audio version of Behind the Music. Overall, the album leans more toward the melodic end of their oeuvre, but they have grown into this kinder, gentler mode organically, progressively working toward this groove little by little, album by album. What once were snapshots of a spastic punk-funk lifestyle have grown into fully realized short stories of introspection and Californication. Though the pace of the album falters at times (particularly in the verses; the choruses are all pretty spectacular), it is refreshing to see that as the four Chili Peppers continue to grow older and more sure of themselves, their composition and performing skills are maturing along with them. ~ Zac Johnson, Rovi Performers: Anthony Kiedis – Vocals; Chad Smith – Drums; Flea – Vocals (Background), Bass; John Frusciante – Vocals (Background), Guitar |

Loso’s Way $12.78 A concept album from a punch line rapper is an unattractive proposition, so it’s fortunate that Loso’s Way strays off topic even more than Jay-Z’s American Gangster. Named after Fabolous’ own feature film — made available in a limited-edition version of the album — Loso’s Way is inspired by the Al Pacino vehicle Carlito’s Way. Past a track named after the character “Pachanga” plus a couple other references within the rhymes, this is actually a standard issue Fabolous album with big singles, plenty of laugh-out-loud lyrics, and the usual redundancy. The first five tracks come at the hip-hop “up and out of the struggle” anthem from five different angles, allowing only the glorious “My Time” (“Soon as I walk in/It feel like me o’clock”) and the infectious “Everything, Everyday, Everywhere” to stand out. Redundant on a more micro scale, the latter track stacks money with “Let my chips Pringles up,” but just one song later, the worthy single “Throw It in the Bag” is carrying a “Bag full of chips/We ain’t talkin’ Ruffles.” Even if it’s just a remix of Jay-Z’s “When the Money Goes,” “Money Goes, Honey Stay” is outstanding, and when fatherhood is addressed so poignantly on “Stay,” it’s Fab at his most inspired. While Lil Wayne’s guest appearance on “Salute” is a disappointment thanks to his voice sounding very hoarse, Ne-Yo’s cool swagger enriches “Makin Love,” which already comes packaged in a beautiful Jermaine Dupri production. Add it all up and this not-so-conceptual-after-all album points out both the rapper’s limitations and his strengths. Call it a draw. ~ David Jeffries, Rovi Performers: Just Blaze – Scratching; Kevin Cossom – Vocals (Background); Lenesha Randolph – Vocals (Background); Anthony “Smash” Randolph – Keyboards; Brandon “Bizzy” Hollemon – Guitar; Brandon ‘Bizzy’ Holeman – Guitar; Danny Keyz – Keyboards; Doug Wilson – Keyboards; Ed “Wolve |

Don’t Make Waves (Remastered) $19.95 “It’s entertainment that fills up the screen like she fills out a bikini,â€? the trailer for Don’t Make Waves proclaimed. She is Sharon Tate, portraying a beach-loving, sky-diving beauty named Malibu. The entertainment filling up the screen is a gleeful sand-and-surf-and-sex satire based on Ira Wallach’s Muscle Beach, set to a title tune by The Byrds and targeting SoCal’s go-go beach culture and the high-living hillside denizens of its ocean-view enclaves. Tony Curtis, reteaming with director Andrew Mackendrick of Sweet Smell of Success, plays an eastern interloper who arrives with little and hits on ways to finagle his way into lots. Also making waves: Claudia Cardinale, Robert Webber, Joanna Barnes and bodybuilder David Draper. |

Big Money Heavyweight $11.14 The Big Tymers don’t really have anything new to say on Big Money Heavyweight. They’re still rapping about the Cash Money lifestyle — one of luxury characterized by a boisterous gangsta stance and firm ghetto roots, and stacks of greenbacks. This is their stock-in-trade. It always has been, and probably always will be. What is new here, however, is Mannie Fresh’s continual development as a producer, and the duo’s continual development as songwriters. When they began, back in 1998, they were middling down-South gangsta rappers spitting game about money they probably didn’t have. Here, five years later in 2003, they’re budding songsmiths with enough industry influence to reign in big-money unit-movers like R. Kelly (who wrote and produced the radio-ready “Gangsta Girl”) and Ludacris (who leads off “Down South,” a standout shout-out to the South’s finest). Then there’s the leadoff track, “This Is How We Do,” a singsongy upbeat single propelled by an acoustic guitar that aspires to duplicate the cha-ching commercial success of “Still Fly,” the very similar singsongy upbeat single from the last Big Tymers album, Hood Rich. Granted, Baby and Mannie don’t exactly have a wealth of original ideas, the songwriting grace of R. Kelly, or the lyrical wit of Ludacris, but they do have their finger on the pulse of the zeitgeist, and give the people what they want, more or less — even if that means rewriting their biggest hit to date, having the industry’s pied piper write an R&B-crossover single for them, or bringing aboard the South’s most popular rapper for a regional anthem. The paper-stacking commercial march of the original Big Money Heavyweights marches on, overall here, with a little more songwriting shine and a little less gutter splatter than last time, even if these Big Tymers don’t really have anything new to say, just a smoother way to say it. ~ Jason Birchmeier, Rovi Performers: Gilly – Vocals (Background); Charles Pettaway – Guitar, Bass; Donnie Lyle – Guitar; Rick Marcel – Bass, Guitar; Rodney East – Keyboards |

If There Was a Way $5.58 If There Was a Way from 1990 is the first full display of Dwight Yoakam’s doppelgänger on record. From the mid-tempo honky tonk of “The Distance Between You and Me” and the classic Bakersfield balladry of “The Heart That You Own” to the balls-out live 21st century rockabilly “It Takes a Lot to Rock You Baby,” Yoakam shows his fragmented musical personality that somehow remains inside the framework of his own brand of country. Fans of the old heroes such as Ernest Tubb, Merle Haggard, George Jones, Buck Owens, Hank Thompson, Loretta Lynn, and so on dig Yoakam because he knows how to write and sing a good old country song. The kids and pop audiences love him because he seems to speak to them as much with his swagger as his electricity — guitarist Pete Anderson is like Don Rich, only from the rock side of the country music fence. “Nothing’s Changed Here,” written by Yoakam and master songwriter Kostas, is a nod to Tubb in that it refers to the master’s “Walkin’ the Floor Over You” in “Nothing’s Changed Here,” a barroom stroller with a gorgeous fiddle solo by Don Reed and a splendid use of reverb by Anderson. “Since I Started Drinkin’ Again” is a bluegrass sh*tkicker, but it is one hell of a self-destructive broken-heart song that features some awesome fiddlework by Scott Joss and mandolin and backing vocals by Tim O’Brien. The bluesy, doo-woppy, Doc Pomus-inspired rock balladry of the title track is another move toward the margins for Yoakam — especially with the shimmering B-3 work by Skip Edwards. “It Only Hurts Me When I Cry,” Yoakam’s co-write with Roger Miller, who sings backing vocals on the track, is another rocker à la early Conway Twitty. Ultimately the duet with Patty Loveless on Kostas and Kathy Louvin’s “Send a Message to My Heart” is a wrought and deeply moving love song. Loveless is the best of her generation. Not even Martina McBride with all her emotion and range can match the soul in the grain of her voice, nor does anyone possess as pure a country voice with the exception of Emmylou Harris perhaps. The bravest moment on the record is also its most fun. The closer is a truly hillbilly deluxe version of Wilbert Harrison’s anthem “Let’s Work Together.” Anderson tears this mother up, raw and wooly, and Yoakam proves himself as fine a R&B singer as he is a country crooner. Here again the rock side of country, the soul side of rock, and the country side of soul are all wrapped here in Yokam’s voice backed by a band who have a complete understanding of the tune. Highly recommended. ~ Thom Jurek, Rovi Performers: Taras Prodaniuk – 6-String Bass, Guitar (Bass), Bass; Al Perkins – Lap Steel Guitar, Dobro, Banjo, Guitar (Steel); Amy Ray – Vocals (Background); |

Real Eyes $19.19 In 1980, Gil Scott-Heron had a nice opportunity to promote his Real Eyes album when he became the opening act on Stevie Wonder’s Hotter Than July tour. On his own, Scott-Heron usually played small clubs, but opening for Wonder gave him the chance to perform in front of thousands of Wonder fans in major stadiums and sports arenas. Many of Wonder’s white fans seemed to be unfamiliar with Scott-Heron (who had never had a major pop hit), while a lot of Wonder’s black fans at least knew him for “The Bottle” and “Angel Dust” even if they hadn’t bought a lot of his albums. Opening for all those Wonder fans certainly didn’t hurt Scott-Heron’s career, but it didn’t make him a superstar either. While it’s possible that some Wonder fans enjoyed Scott-Heron’s opening sets enough to go out and purchase Real Eyes, most of the people who acquired this LP were already confirmed Scott-Heron fans. Unfortunately, Real Eyes lacked a hit single, although the material is excellent nonetheless. As usual, Scott-Heron has a lot of sociopolitical things on his mind — “The Train From Washington” concludes that the working class can’t depend on the U.S. government for anything, while “Not Needed” angrily points the finger at companies who consider longtime employees expendable. And the album’s less sociopolitical songs are equally memorable. “Your Daddy Loves You” is a touching ode to Scott-Heron’s daughter Gia Louise (who was only a child in 1980), and the jazz-oriented “A Legend in His Own Mind” is a humorous, clever put-down of a wannabe “Casanova” who isn’t nearly the ladies’ man he brags about being. Scott-Heron’s love of jazz serves him well on “A Legend in His Own Mind” and the smoky “Combinations,” but make no mistake: Real Eyes is an R&B album more than anything. ~ Alex Henderson, Rovi Performers: Glen Turner – Harmonica, Synthesizer, Keyboards; Brian Jackson – Piano; Carl Cornwell – Sax (Tenor), Flute; Danny Bowens – Bass; Ed Brady – Guitar; Ethan Ivy – Percussion; Gil Scott-Heron – Vocals; Harry Kim – Trumpet; Kenny Powell – Drums; Kenny Sh |

Smooth Is the Way $27.19 Some decent, smartly produced urban contemporary, hip-hop, and light R&B material, sung with conviction if not distinction.

The Real Thing $15.18 On The Real Thing, her sixth studio album (not counting two Christmas releases), Vanessa Williams switches from the ’70s soul covers that made up 2005′s Everlasting Love to a mix of adult contemporary originals and faithful interpretations. While Rob Mathes produced the entirety of the previous set, the labor here is divided between him and Rex Rideout (Boney James, Will Downing), as well as Keith Thomas and Babyface, both of whom go way back with Williams. With four people sharing the producer’s chair, the whole album nonetheless carries a relaxed, serene feel, even when it is at its most active and spirited. The highlights tend to come with the Latin material — including the title track, written by Stevie Wonder for Sergio Mendes, and “If There Were No Song,” switching between a lush ballad and splashes of percussion and horns — which Williams pulls off with natural ease. It’s not likely to raise anyone’s body temperature, but it’s too welcoming to ignore. ~ Andy Kellman, Rovi Performers: Bill Airey Smith – Horn Engineer; Armen Ksadjikian – Celli; Christina Soule – Celli; Stephen Erdody – Celli; Trevor Handy – Celli; Brian Dembow – Viola; Dave Walther – Viola; Garrett Smith – Horn; Gayle Levant – Harp; Irina Voloshi |

Real As the Memory $12.78 Zach Ziskin plays an inoffensive brand of modern guitar pop, sort of like a 2000s Richard Marx, only without the hit singles. He has created a very clean and crisp-sounding record with strong pop sensibilities. Real As the Memory is as organic as mainstream guitar pop gets in 2002, with lots of acoustic guitar underpinning and nary a drum loop in sight. The disc is carried by the passionate vocals of Ziskin. Some listeners will be drawn in by his display of very heartfelt emotion, and some will find it to be a little too much. The most successful tracks are the ballads, like the waltzing “Waking Hour” and the quiet “The Jewel,” which find Ziskin toning down the emotional intensity of his vocals a touch. The faster and louder tracks sound professional and have plenty of energy, but not much in the way of hooks. Ziskin’s heart is certainly in the right place here and the music sounds great on the surface, but Real As the Memory is a mostly forgettable album. ~ Tim Sendra, Rovi Performers: Alfredo Oliva – Violin; Brendan Buckley – Drums; Fernando Perdomo – Theremin, Mellotron, Keyboards, Bass; Steve Scully – Drums; Zach Ziskin – Keyboards, Vocals, Percussion, Guitar, Bass |

Dan in Real Life $15.18 While in the beginning stages of making his film Dan in Real Life, director Peter Hedges went looking for someone to provide music the way Cat Stevens did for Harold and Maude or Simon & Garfunkel for The Graduate, someone to filter the meaning and feel of the movie through his songs. It’s hard to argue with his choice; ever since his first record, 2002′s Faces Down, Sondre Lerche has proven himself to be a fine chronicler of romantic confusion and winsome melancholy. Lerche was part of the process from almost the very beginning, even attending auditions for main characters and sleeping overnight in the house where the film was shot. The album is made up of a couple of songs from previous albums (a jazzy take on Elvis Costello’s “Human Hands” from 2006′s Duper Sessions; “Modern Nature,” his lovely duet with Lillian Samdal from 2002′s Faces Down; and the peppy “Airport Taxi Reception,” one of the highlights from 2007′s Phantom Punch), plus newly recorded songs. It being a soundtrack, there are several short instrumental pieces, most featuring Lerche on acoustic guitar with subtle backing from pedal steel, trumpet, or piano. They’re all very pretty and surely sound nice when sprinkled through the film, but what makes this soundtrack very good are the actual songs Lerche composed for the film. Best of the lot is the lilting and sweet-as-punch “To Be Surprised,” but the others are nearly as good, especially “Hell No,” a witty duet between Lerche and a very snappy Regina Spektor. Along with short instrumentals, another thing you’re sure to find on a soundtrack are stunt covers, easily recognizable songs rendered with a heavy dose of ironic hipness as an easy way to get audiences hooked without seeming like you’re pandering to them. Here Lerche adds syrupy strings to Pete Townshend’s “Let My Love Open the Door” and escapes pretty harmlessly, but A Fine Frenzy’s stilted take on “Fever” makes one wish that Congress would pass a bill banning future covers of the song. At the end, (if you leave off the covers) the soundtrack presents a clear picture of Lerche’s talent and the high quality of his songs and performances. It probably won’t make him a huge star like soundtrack work did for Stevens and S&G, but it might hook a few people who had never heard of him before. Good for them and good for Lerche. He deserves every break he can get. ~ Tim Sendra, Rovi Performers: Erik Halvorson – Glockenspiel, Organ, Piano; Emily Mitchell – Harp; James Genus – Snaps, Bass (Upright); Kato Ådland – Pedal Steel, Banjo, Guitar (Electric), Piano, Organ; Mary Wooten – Cello; |

Which Way To The Front (DVD) $19.95 Millionaire Brendan Byers may be 4-F but feels it’s “every man’s right to be killed fighting for his country.� So he puts his money where his mouth is. Unable to be in Uncle Sam’s army, he does the next best thing: buy one. Once his men are trained on the finest golf courses, plunged into sea survival courses in posh swimming pools and taught the art of killing with Camembert cheese, Brendan leads them to war. One question remains: Which Way to the Front? Comedy legend Jerry Lewis stars as Brendan, puncturing war’s lunacy by being even loonier. He’s heavily armed with his trademark physical buffoonery, dizzying pace and solid support from comedy pros like Jan Murray, Steve Franken and the incomparable Kaye Ballard. Which way to uncontrollable laughter? This way, of course. |

Real Life $10.37 Listening to Lincoln Brewster is eerily like listening to Keith Urban, although instead of singing about romantic love, the open road and the secular joys of a new dawn and day, Brewster is singing about God, and that’s a slightly different agenda, although the search and need for love is still at the core of it. Real Life is Brewster’s seventh album, and it’s a crisp outing, full of energy and pop dynamics — it sounds, really, like a contemporary country album, which means it has way more Eagles in its DNA than it does Merle Haggard or George Strait. It sounds radio ready, but this is pop music bent to utility — it’s praise and worship stuff (Brewster is, after all, the worship arts pastor at Bayside Church in Sacramento, CA and is a columnist for Worship Musician magazine). Among the highlights here are the upbeat opener, “Best Days,” and the redemption-seeking “Reaching for You.” ~ Steve Leggett, Rovi Performers: Chris Carmichael – Strings; Cindy Maslov – Choir, Chorus; Corbin Phillips – Choir, Chorus; Jeffrey B.

My Way $7.97 Usher proved that he had a strong, soulful voice with his self-titled debut, but he fulfilled his potential on his second record, My Way. What makes Usher distinctive from his urban loverman peers is the fact that he doesn’t oversing; he simply delivers his songs soulfully. Unfortunately, he falls prey to uneven material, just like any of his peers, but there are more strong songs on My Way than many contemporary R&B albums from the late ’80s. Both Jermaine Dupri and Babyface contribute seamless productions and fine songs; respectively, “You Make Me Wanna…” and “Bedtime” are their best ballad contributions. Even if the ballads are usually seductive and romantic, cuts like the funky “Just Like Me,” which features a cameo from Lil’ Kim, might make you wish Usher didn’t play it cool all of the time. And while it’s refreshing to hear a hip-hop/urban R&B album clock in at a reasonable running time, it would have been nice if the tenth track was something other than a remix of “You Make Me Wanna…” Nevertheless, it’s a strong second effort that showcases Usher at his best. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, Rovi Performers: Babyface – Vocals (Background), Bass, Keyboards; Jagged Edge – Vocals (Background); Jermaine Dupri – Vocals (Background); Manuel Seal, Jr. – Vocals (Background); Monica – Vocals (Background); Shanice – Vocals (Background); Trey Lorenz – Vocals (Background); Trina Broussard – Vocals (Background); Usher – Vocals (Background), Vocals; |

The American Way $27.18 As they evolved, Sacred Reich not only became one of the more accessible thrash metal units, but also one of the most lyrically compelling. Dark, troubling, and often highly sociopolitical, Reich has a lot to say on this solid effort. Addressing such topics as environmental destruction (“Crimes Against Humanity”) and the horrors of apartheid in South Africa (“State of Emergency”), The American Way makes us glad that lead singer/bassist Phil Rind had become fairly easy to understand. “Who’s to Blame” points the finger at those who blame headbangers for teenage suicide, arguing that metal’s detractors should look for the real culprit and say something about parental neglect instead. More lighthearted than the rest of the CD, “31 Flavors” is a rap-influenced number urging metalheads to broaden their musical tastes and check out some hip-hop and funk. The American Way was definitely Reich’s finest hour. ~ Alex Henderson, Rovi Performers: Greg Hall – Tambourine, Drums; Phil ? – Vocals, Bass |

Show Me the Money $13.58 Smokin’ Joe Kubek and Bnois King’s albums are dependable affairs that stick close to good old barroom Texas blues. The lyrics won’t win any Pulitzer Prizes, and while Kubek is an amazing guitar player with a huge tone, he isn’t exactly reinventing the instrument, and likewise King, although he is a distinctive and pleasant vocalist, isn’t going to be mistaken for Marvin Gaye anytime soon. Not much has changed on their second release on the Blind Pig label, and Show Me the Money delivers another dose of straight-ahead roadhouse blues. If there are any concessions here, it is that all the songs pull in at a radio-friendly length, and at least one, the infectious “My Heart’s in Texas,” would fit effortlessly on “new country” play lists. The first two tracks, “I Saw It Coming” and “Burnin’ to the Ground,” pretty much lead the charge here, and King’s easy, subtle singing pairs nicely with Kubek’s gutbucket guitar tone, but there are no real surprises waiting in the grass, and certainly nothing that will shake the roots of the music industry — just solid blues-rock. Somebody’s gotta do it, and Kubek and King do it so well. ~ Steve Leggett, Rovi Performers: Anson Funderburgh – Guitar (Electric); Bnois King – Guitar, Guitar (Electric), Vocals; Paul Jenkins – Guitar (Bass); Ralph Power – Drums; Smokin’ Joe Kubek – Hammond B3, Slide Guitar, Guitar (Bass), Guitar, Guitar (Acoustic), Guitar (Electric) |

Barely Real $6.38 A six-song EP that appeared between the two albums proper, without sharing any songs with either, Barely Real essentially extends the same musical and lyrical spirit of Frigid Stars, with a couple of slight but intriguing changes woven in. Admittedly, that won’t be apparent on the first song, “Realize,” which fully confirms that Codeine’s combination of deliberate pace and electric guitar playing both, along with softly sung rumination courtesy of Immerwahr, is pretty much its compositional mode rather than affectation. Those put off by earlier Codeine won’t want to continue; those taken by its way of doing things will happily embrace it. From there Barely Real makes its careful way over about twenty-five minutes, with some guest performers popping up to leaven things. One Jon Fine adds “noisy guitar” to the mix on “Jr.,” with a quick stuttering main riff to its credit, while David Grubbs contributes both piano and arrangement for “W.” It’s a highlight of Barely Real, essentially a Grubbs solo performance, but still sounding exactly like something Codeine would write. Other high points include the echo and burying in the mix of Immerwahr’s voice on “Hard to Find” and the slightly surprising conclusion, a cover of MX-80 Sound’s “Promise of Love” done in a bit of a late-night jazz club style with more typical Codeine interjections towards the end. ~ Ned Raggett, Rovi Performers: David Grubbs – Piano; Jon Fine – Guitar |

No Way Out $13.59 Paul Gaskin decided that some lineup changes were in order for his band’s second album, No Way Out, and delegated lead vocal duties to new frontman Bren Spencer in order to concentrate on his guitar playing. Not that this made much difference, as the guitarist and his new vocalist sounded almost exactly alike, and the album found the band only barely tweaking their sound by employing a slightly more melodic approach than was heard on their debut. But aside from a few rather ordinary numbers, No Way Out is also a more cohesive effort from start to finish than their debut, mixing memorable hard rockers like “Dirty Money,” “Ready for Love,” and “Come Back to Me” with storming metallic anthems like “High Crime Zone” and the title track. “Say Your Last Word” is the album’s only surprise, but it’s a doozy, as the band steps completely out of character to deliver a shockingly straightforward ballad which is also remarkably good. [Gaskin's two albums, End of the World and No Way Out, were released on a single compact disc by British Steel Records in 1998.] ~ Eduardo Rivadavia, Rovi Performers: Dave Norman – Synthesizer, Drums, Percussion; Paul Gaskin – Guitar (Acoustic), Guitar, Vocals; Robert John Godfrey – Keyboards, Piano |

Real Estate $11.98 At first, Real Estate seems like another in a long line of cryptically Google-proof band names, but the group’s self-titled album proves that their moniker makes perfect sense. The band excels at finding the bittersweet, whimsical, and poetic in everyday suburban life — the real life behind real estate. They carry on this tradition from bands like Pavement, and echoes of that band’s laid-back, rough-around-the-edges beauty can be heard in their hazy jangle (shades of Galaxie 500, the Clean, Yo La Tengo and Oh, Inverted World-era Shins soft-focus melancholy also pop up from time to time). It’s no coincidence that two of Real Estate’s finest moments have “suburban” in their titles. “Suburban Dogs” spins a tale of comfortable confinement, its looping melody and guitars reinforcing its gentle constriction as Martin Courtney sings “suburban dogs are in love with their chains.” And while “Suburban Beverage”’s lyrics — which consist mostly of “Budweiser, Sprite, do you feel all right?” — aren’t nearly as profound, the song’s hypnotic warmth and epic length make it just as much of a standout. The band’s unabashedly pretty melodic sensibilities shine through on almost every track, making a nice contrast with their simple playing and not-quite lo-fi sound quality on pure pop songs like “Fake Blues” and “Green River,” as well as the more abstract instrumentals “Atlantic City” and “Let’s Rock the Beach.” While most of the album has a summery vibe, its closing track, “Snow Days,” shows that Real Estate’s classic melodies and crisp harmonies capture February just as well as June. Though half of Real Estate was already released by the band as singles and EPs, that just adds to the album’s instantly familiar feel — which is a large part of this unassuming debut album’s appeal. ~ Heather Phares, Rovi Performers: Alex Bleeker – Bass; Etienne Pierre Duguay – Drums; Matthew Mondanile – Guitar |

Real Blasty $9.58 “Recorded at home in Nashville, TN and at [his parents'] home in Chicago, IL,” Kyle Andrews’ second full-length album, Real Blasty, is a testament to what can be accomplished in home studios by an ambitious musician working largely alone. A few friends contribute guitar, bass, and drums, but for the most part this is a solo album, Andrews playing all the rest of the instruments in addition to writing the songs and serving as his own producer. Yet this is not one of those lo-fi efforts determined to make a virtue of necessity. On the contrary, Andrews wants to get as much of a sophisticated studio sound as he can out of his home setup. The album starts out with tracks that make it seem he only aspires to an ’80s synth pop/rock effect, sort of like a one-man Cars, on the tracks “Sushi” and “Naked in New York.” But by the fourth selection, “Call and Fade,” he has moved on to a majestic, Beatlesque arrangement that signals his sense of how his many overdubs interact to create dense, yet driving textures. Meanwhile, his lyrics, sung in his often scratchy yet expressive tenor, belie the solo stance of the music, beginning with romantic devotion to a particular “you” and then confessing (in the third song, “Polar Bear”), “I’m not good being alone.” Soon, however, the poison darts come out, and by the end Andrews is waxing more philosophical and general before signing off with the complete lyric to “Bus”: “Take my love/It’s all I am/It’s all I have to give/It’s all I have.” Actually, Andrews has a home full of musical instruments and recording equipment, and from the evidence heard on Real Blasty, he knows what to do with them. ~ William Ruhlmann, Rovi Performers: Austin Hoke – Cello; Benny Morton’s All Stars – Sound Effects, Slide Guitar, Vocals; Greg Burgess – Guitar; Kyle Andrews – Bells, Keyboards, Drums, Guitar (Electric), Vocals, Piano, Percussion, Guitar, Bass, Guitar (Acoustic); Lex Price – Guitar (Electric); Neil Mason – Drums |

On the Way to the Sky $6.38 Neil Diamond, in the opinion of many critics and fans, went into an artistic decline in the mid- to late- ’70s. It turns out that he still had a number of good songs left in him, though, and the inconsistency of his later efforts should be viewed in context. That is to say, even Diamond’s most respected albums had their share of oddball experiments and misguided moments, and the argument could be made that those peculiar detours make him a more interesting songwriter overall. On the Way to the Sky is typically uneven with a handful of strong songs that were big adult contemporary hits: “Yesterday’s Songs,” “On the Way to the Sky,” and “Be Mine Tonight.” The character of these songs is no different from his earlier adult pop efforts, but the production may be too slick for many listeners’ tastes. Throughout the album Diamond revisits some of his favorite themes — rambling, traveling minstrelsy, the transcendent power of music — which he sings about in his dramatic, gravelly style. Dedicated fans will find much to like, but those who take a more conditional approach to Diamond’s music will be put off by the ultra-commercial sheen. The album even has its own “Knackelflerg” with the unusual “Fear of the Marketplace.” ~ Greg Adams, Rovi Performers: H.L. Voelker – Vocals (Background); Julia Tillman Waters – Vocals (Background); Luther Waters – Vocals (Background); Maxine Willard Waters – Vocals (Background); Oren Waters – Vocals (Background); Patricia Henderson – Vocals (Background); Alan Lindgren – Piano, Synthesizer; Dennis St. John – Drums; |

On the Real Side $13.58 Like its predecessor, 2001′s New Colors, On the Real Side, which again pairs Freddie Hubbard with the New Jazz Composers Octet (David Weiss, trumpet; Myron Walden, alto sax; Jimmy Greene, tenor and soprano sax; Steve Davis, trombone; Norbert Stachel, baritone sax and flute; Xavier Davis, piano; Dwayne Burno, bass; and E.J. Strickland, drums, plus guests Craig Handy, tenor sax on two tracks and flute on a third, and Russell Malone, guitar on the title tune), is in essence a victory lap for the veteran horn player, whose chops are admittedly diminished as he reaches age 70. Annotator Bill Milkowski makes no bones about that and even quotes Hubbard to the effect that “I gotta resolve myself to be happy with what I can do now…play a couple of choruses and get out.” As such, this album — with the exception of the newly written title track — consists of re-recordings of Hubbard favorites, functioning as a tribute disc on which the honoree sits in. In that sense, it might be compared to the latter day recordings of Brian Wilson in the pop realm, in which a group of technically proficient Beach Boys fans efficiently plays the composer’s music around him as he pitches in. At that, the result is not unpleasant, and Hubbard even manages some good solos, or at least parts of solos, before giving way to his acolytes. It is notable that he only plays flugelhorn, especially since he is glimpsed holding a trumpet on the album cover. ~ William Ruhlmann, Rovi Performers: Freddie Hubbard – Flugelhorn; Craig Handy – Sax (Tenor), Flute; David Weiss – Trumpet; Dwayne Burno – Bass; E.J. Strickland – Drums; Jimmy Greene – Sax (Tenor), Sax (Soprano); Myron Walden – Sax (Alto); Norbert Stachel – Flute, Sax (Baritone); Russell Malone – Guitar; Steve Davis – Trombone; Xavier Davis – Piano |

The Way It Used to Be $13.57 The photographs used in the packaging of Patrick Cooper’s second album, The Way It Used to Be, depict the Sun Studio in Memphis, Tennessee. For example, the front cover shows the studio’s interior, with a vintage microphone in the foreground and a portrait of Elvis Presley hanging on the wall. But it isn’t the 1950s rockabilly sound Cooper has in mind with his backward-gazing title; it’s the 1970s jazz-funk fusion style of George Duke (a major influence on this keyboardist) and the Crusaders. For this self-produced and self-released disc, Cooper has penned eight tunes that hark back to the early days of smooth jazz, and he plays much of the music himself. A live rhythm section of bassists Tommy Tordsson, David Dyson, or Corey Baker and drummers Jay Williams, Wayne Thomas, Kevin “Stixx” Marshall, or Mark Stewart holds down the bottom, although Cooper and Tony Hemming augment it with synth programming. And Cooper adds other musicians selectively, with Alvin White playing electric guitar on “Next 2 U”; Phillip “Doc” Martin sax on the title song and “It’s Okay to Move”; Stanley Cooper guitar on “I’m That Man”; Robert “Wawa” LeGrand guitar on “Side Steppin’”; and Bryan Mills sax on “Denise.” Each of these musicians gets his moment in the sun, but the real focuses in the music remain with the headliner, first because of the strength of his compositions. Cooper has come up with strong melodies for his tunes, which often sound like songs that ought to have words. Finally, “I’m That Man” actually does, as Nehemiah Booker croons appropriately romantic sentiments. The second major mark of the lead artist, however, is his inventive acoustic piano soloing, which bobs in and out of the music. Whenever Cooper is spraying notes on his un-electrified keyboards (and even when he takes to a Rhodes on “The Way It Used to Be”), he provides the jazz content that was always a major element in the music of the ‘70s artists he reveres and evokes here. ~ William Ruhlmann, Rovi Performers: Alvin White – Guitar; Bryan Mills – Saxophone; Corey Baker – Bass; David Dyson – Bass; Dwayne Thomas – Drums; Jay Williams – Drums; Kevin “Stixx” Marshall – Drums; Mark Stewart – Drums; Nehemiah Booker – Vocals; |

Finding the Way $14.38 Certainly, the Lonesome River Band is one of the most significant proponents of traditional bluegrass music to canoe down any river in a long while. And Finding the Way is reflective of their status as a band of integrity and purpose. In every way — musicianship, vocals, harmonies, performance and execution — this is a solid outing. “Love’s Come Over Me,” an upbeat tune that highlights Sammy Shelor’s banjo and the harmony vocals of Don Rigsby and Kenny Smith, recalls the best of the Louvins and the Stanleys. In fact, “Sweet Sally Brown,” penned by Wandell M. Smith and Dr. Ralph Stanley, displays the intensity and talent of the Lonesome River Band in full bloom. They could very well stand side by side with Ralph and Carter Stanley. The Tommy Morse tune “Perfume, Powder and Lead” is filled with all the dark mystery that many classic bluegrass tunes are known for. Again, Rigsby and Smith provide the harmony vocals that make this performance so haunting. Jason Carter’s fiddle underscores the moaning quality of a song sung high upon a hill into a dark, unknown holler as the protagonist reaches out to eternity. “Baby Come Home,” “Another by My Side,” “Don’t Worry ‘Bout Daddy,” and “Up on the Shelf” are all high steppin’, while “Finding Your Way” is a nod of the head to the softer side of bluegrass music. Ending with the traditional tune “Devil Chased Me Around the Stump” places this project among the finest in the annals of bluegrass history. Produced by Jerry Douglas, Finding the Way is a fine introduction to the Lonesome River Band or to the more contemporary forms of bluegrass music. ~ Jana Pendragon, Rovi Performers: Don Rigsby – Vocal Harmony, Mandolin, Harmony Vocals, Vocals; Jason Carter – Fiddle; Jerry Douglas – Dobro, Guitar; Randy Howard – Fiddle; Sammy Shelor – Banjo; Kenny Smith – Vocal Harmony, Harmony Vocals, Guitar; Ronnie Bowman – Vocals, Bass |

All the Way $10.13 If you were worried that Allstar Weekend’s second album might find them changing their super-bright, super-slick emo pop sound into something a little more mature and seasoned, perhaps to match the bandmembers’ maturation into voting age, you needn’t have. If anything, All the Way is even more cartoon-like and ridiculously clean-sounding. Whipped into shape by more producers than would actually fit into most studio control rooms (practically a different team on every song), the album has a radio-friendly sheen that ropes in the silliest elements (samples from Sesame Street, lots of Auto-Tune, clubby four-on-the-floor beats, super-processed guitars, and the occasional boy band-level rap) from every pop genre and melds them into a record so simple and poppy that it should be sold in vending machines at junior highs around the world. It’s got the energy of pop-punk with no chance of any blood being spilled, the emotional indicators of emo (especially on the sappy ballads “Blame It on September” and “Teenage Hearts”) without any real emotions expended, and the bop and roll of a variety of “urban” styles without any grit or realism involved. Now if you’re a fan of blood, emotion, grit, or realism, you’ve obviously come to the wrong place, and you shouldn’t expect any of that from a trio of guys who seem to have a fondness for Sugar Ray (“When I Get Paid”) and a weakness for very silly lyrics (“Sorry…” or “Mr. Wonderful,” which contains the wonderfully innocent come-on “We could swim with the dolphins/Go golfing/You could be my wife”), and who basically come off as the second coming of LFO. Not the one people remember fondly, the “other” LFO. Apart from the two ballads, which are far too earnest and string-laden to be believed, the album is basically like slamming one of those longer-than-your-arm pixie sticks and chasing it with a giant jug of Sunny D. Not anything a jaded fan of “real’ music will have much time for, but loads of fun for those who like their pop made as silly and frivolous as possible. ~ Tim Sendra, Rovi Performers: Amy Wickman – Viola; Anthony Melo – Rap; Caroline Buckman – Viola; John Feldmann – Vocals (Background), Guitar, Percussion, Bass; John Krovoza – Cello; Lauren Chipman – Viola; Nathan Darmody – Vocals (Background), Vocals, Guitar; Richard Dodd – Cello; |

Money’s My Motivation $12.78 With the immense success of the Hyphy Movement, the Bay Area has established itself as THE premiere hotspot for upcoming hip-hop talent on the West Coast. Artists such as E-40, Mac Dre, Keak Da Sneak, and The Pack (whose hit ‘Vans’ exploded at radio in 2006), have all paved the way for the next big sensation out of the bay – Kafani. Kafani’s debut album Money’s My Motivation is set to maintain the Bay’s rich Hyphy tradition, sparked by the incredible buzz on his hit lead single ‘Fassst (Like A Nascar)’ which, as the title indicates, has been moving very FAST at radio, currently being played to an audience close to 3 million.

Walk This Way $8.77 The debut album from Chicago’s White Tie Affair, Walk This Way showcases the band’s knack for high-energy emo-influenced dance-rock. Just when you think White Tie Affair is a flirty, ’80s-centric new wave/R&B ensemble they flip the script and layer on slabs of heavy guitar and driving, yearning beats. Surely, they will draw quick and easy comparisons to Justin Timberlake and Fall Out Boy for their ability to mix sexy, club-ready workouts with more rawk-oriented, emo-power ballads. In that same sense, with frontman Chris Wallace’s high-pitched, sometimes falsetto vocals — not to mention his choppy hair and androgynous snarl giving him the appearance of a more scrubbed-up Urban Outfitters version of Billy Idol — they narrowly avoid a direct comparison to Maroon 5. Helping White Tie Affair out of this pigeonhole is a playful batch of catchy tunes that are expertly crafted with just the right amount of retro-synth, ersatz glam guitar, and pulsating dance grooves to make the band ready-made poster boys for the college club scene. ~ Matt Collar, Rovi Performers: Chris Wallace – Vocals; Ryan Hollywood – Keyboards; Ryan McLain – Keyboards; Sean Gould – Guitar; Sean Patwell – Guitar; Sean-P – Guitar; Tim McLaughlin – Drums |

The Real Deal $8.78 If any album will bring Texas legend Billy Joe Shaver the widespread acclaim and commercial success he has deserved for 30 years, The Real Deal is it. Recorded for Compadre Records, it features 14 new songs and a redo of his and his late son Eddy’s classic “Live Forever” with Nashville hotshots Big & Rich. The tune’s been duded up some and doesn’t have the stark power the original does, but as an anthem it works like a charm. In fact, the words still shine through the mix here because at age 66, Shaver’s become one hell of a singer. There are other duets here as well. Nanci Griffith makes an appearance on “Valentine,” a spare, acoustically driven ballad. Kimmie Rhodes — another Austin songwriter who deserves far more than she’s received — duets with him on his “West Texas Waltz.” The new version is elegant, deep, and soulful. And Kevin Fowler shows up on the honky tonk strutter “Slim Chance and the Can’t Hardly Playboys” with the fine lyric “They’ve got a new song out on Polish Records/It’ll be a Polish hit real soon.” Country gospel makes its appearance on “Jesus Christ Is Still the King.” “You Ought to Be with Me When I’m Alone” is one of Shaver’s great broken love songs. The shuffling title track lays out the truth of Shaver’s own story, and it’s as down-home, dirt-filled, and dusty as the West Texas landscape. The Real Deal boasts nothing it can’t deliver, and it is the album Billy Joe Shaver’s been waiting to make all his life. It is full of heart, blood, grit, and poetry. ~ Thom Jurek, Rovi Performers: Max Baca – Vocal Harmony, Bajo Sexto, Harmony Vocals, Bass (Vocal), Vocals (Background), Guitar (Bass); Flaco Jiménez – Accordion; Jonathan Yudkin – Violectra, Fiddle; Kimmie Rhodes – Vocals (Background); Lloyd Maines – Lap Steel Guitar, Pedal Steel, Dobro; Mickey Raphael – Harp; Raul “Nunie” Rubio – Vocal Harmony, Vocals (Background), Harmony Vocals; Richard Bowden – Mandolin; |

Real to Reel $34.39 Featuring the best material from their first two albums as well as their classic debut single “Market Square Heroes,” 1984′s Real to Reel is an excellent live document of Marillion, the undisputed leaders of the short-lived mid-’80s progressive rock revival. In fact, these recordings make a strong case for the many fans who actually prefer the band’s more refined live versions over their rather flat studio counterparts. For the uninitiated, Marillion basically picks up where Peter Gabriel-era Genesis left off, writing complex, multifaceted, and unashamedly overblown compositions topped with dense, often incomprehensible lyrics from vocalist Fish. Thematically, the darkly ironic “Assassing” and the flippant “Garden Party” are complete polar opposites and clearly display the band’s incredible creative scope. But the album’s centerpiece has to be the dramatic, ten-minute war chronicle “Forgotten Sons.” The CD reissue also features an excellent bonus track titled “Emerald Lies.” ~ Eduardo Rivadavia, Rovi Performers: Fish – Vocals; Ian Mosley – Percussion; Mark Kelly – Keyboards; Pete Trewavas – Bass; Steve Rothery – Guitar |

The Way That I Am $5.58 While Martina McBride’s blend of traditional country and progressive folk styles — along with her powerful, remarkable voice — got country audiences to sit up and take notice in 1992, it was The Way That I Am, and most notably its Gretchen Peters-penned single “Independence Day,” that blew minds. While the song itself — told from the point of view of a surviving daughter of an alcoholic wife-beater and an abused, long-suffering wife and mother — ends in a tragedy of suicide and death, it is nonetheless a redemptive song that makes no moral judgments yet asks real questions about what “independence” actually means. Set on the Fourth of July, it pointedly asks, Does Independence Day mean independence for everyone or does it mean making the choice to free yourself from your bonds, no matter how horrific the consequences? Is it a choice made independent of society, morals, and cultural and religious mores because of the depth of one’s convictions? McBride delivers the story with a tough, matter-of-fact, barely concealed rage, and yet that gives way to a transcendence in the refrain so stirring and shatteringly moving it was used in the aftermath of September 11th (even if it was taken out of context in the same way that Bruce Springsteen’s “Born in the USA” was). It was an instant classic and remains one over a decade later. It’s the kind of troubling song you cannot immediately — or perhaps ever — fathom. The listener is carried into the heart of the contradiction of a day of celebration and raw horror inside a tune so seductive and catchy it feels at odds with its lyric, yet comes together on the refrain only to split again into more fragments than can be counted. When McBride declares, “Now I ain’t sayin’ it’s right or it’s wrong/Maybe it’s the only way/Talk about your revolution/It’s independence day,” the entire world inside the song comes apart, and you are left wondering who the right, wrong, and guilty are in the refrain, and you have to make out your own point of consideration regarding a “day of reckoning.” There are no answers, just facts, questions, and ciphers. The single could have sold the album alone, but the other nine tracks here are quality as well. From the opener, “Heart Trouble,” to “She Ain’t Seen Nothing Yet,” to the closer, “Ashes,” the feel on the album, set by the completely modern country-pop sound of the single, is up-tempo, glossier, and more streamlined in its focus than her debut, but that’s fine because McBride proves herself capable of delivering any kind of song in the end. There isn’t a weak track in the bunch, and despite the more modern, less traditional sound, it makes little difference because McBride is a singer’s singer: tough, true, and in full control of her gift. ~ Thom Jurek, Rovi Performers: Anthony Martin – Vocals (Background), Keyboards; |

The Hard Way $10.17 Although his commercial fortunes had not yet matched theirs by the time this album was released, James Hunter had been promoting the revival of classic-era soul for a couple decades before fellow Brits Amy Winehouse, Corinne Bailey Rae, and Joss Stone came along. His command of the idiom has never been less than thorough and convincing — without knowing that the songs on The Hard Way were newly recorded, anyone might guess that this retro feast was a long-lost gem from 1966. Hunter’s voice is equal parts grits and silk, somewhere between Sam Cooke smooth and Bobby “Blue” Bland scorched, and his small combo of sympathetic players could easily have found work in the studios of Hi, Stax, or Chess back when this style reigned. Compared to Hunter’s last, 2006′s Grammy-nominated People Gonna Talk, The Hard Way, his debut for Hear Music, is a tad tougher — the horns are more prominent and sharper, Hunter’s guitar has more bite to it, and the rhythms cut deeper — and quicker; at times Hunter veers closer to soul-rock than he has in the past, but he’s still working well within his favorite genre. Hunter, as always, is a riveting vocalist — his singing grabs and never lets go. He handles both the lazy, bluesy tunes and the sweatier uptempo R&B with equal commitment and style, sounding as natural as can be as he tells his tales of love and the lack of it. On the slinky blues ballad “‘Til the End,” one of a few tunes on which he is joined by New Orleans legend Allen Toussaint, Hunter takes his time spilling out his doomsday scenario of a relationship gone down while the drums, bass, and horns lope along minimally. When he unfurls his brief guitar solo midway, it’s economical but searing. On the rocking “Jacqueline” a doo-woppy chorus and squalling sax fill in the holes, and for the title track, a Cooke ringer, the Echo Strings add muscle and sass to the arrangement. Dancefloor denizens once ached for tunes this beat-crazy and would do well to reacquaint themselves with the real deal via James Hunter. ~ Jeff Tamarkin, Rovi Performers: B.J.

Mighty Long Way $12.78 Alvin Queen’s longtime European expatriate status has apparently ended, as this recording for the veteran drummer was done in New York City with younger musicians who admire his veteran presence and solid mainstream jazz credentials. Several cuts hearken back to modified Jimmy Smith style organ combos, while others have a feel stemming from Art Blakey’s Jazz Messengers, and some get down and dirty with the original funk of those like Horace Silver. Queen himself is a solid drummer who does not employ bashing or histrionics à la Elvin Jones, Tony Williams, or Jeff Watts, while his musicality is second to none, and rivals peers like Joe Chambers. Organist Mike LeDonne shines brightly as the glue on this session, with guitarist Peter Bernstein right by his side, while trumpeter Terell Stafford and alto saxophonist Jesse Davis prove a fine tandem that front the music in a faithful, straight-ahead, no-nonsense fashion. For those who are veteran listeners of jazz, you’ll recognize a faithful version of Silver’s “Cape Verdean Blues” with its wonderfully rich harmonies and churning rhythm, or Wayne Shorter’s “United” with a similar Latin beat tacked onto a New Orleans feeling, not so much embellished as it is slightly shaded with LeDonne’s organ. “I Got a Woman” is a typical, tried and true boogaloo groove that would make its author Ray Charles smile. Two obscure Oscar Peterson tunes are included, with “Sushi” a fast, insistent bop, and “Backyard Blues” a galloping romp/shuffle served under the tangy horns. Joe Pace, hardly known as a writer of jazz, contributed the title track in its happy, more contemporary modern organ combo format, while “Let Us Go into the House” certainly lives up to its singsongy, blues/gospel funk title. Davis brings to the repertoire the slow, cool, and basic “Blues on Q,” as well as “Alba,” a hip Blakey-type modern jazz swinger with Queen’s drum fill-ins as pauses for thought and Bernstein’s tasty guitar work. The obligatory Queen solo, “The Drum Thing,” concludes the CD on a rumbling, tasteful note with help from Randy Weston’s longtime conga player Neil Clarke. Were this to be a real working band (all of the participants are leaders in their own right,) jazz listeners would be shouting to the rafters for more of this excellent unit perhaps touring in support of this music. For now, this should do just fine as a quite memorable effort. ~ Michael G.

Make ‘Em Like It $14.38 After exploring Turkish folk music on their sophomore release In the Buzz Bag, Brooklyn Funk Essentials returned to the basics for the more hard funk-oriented follow-up, Make ‘Em Like It. Of course, for Brooklyn Funk Essentials, the “basics” are still pretty eclectic, with reggae, hip-hop beats and scratching, hard bop, and salsa all creeping their way into the group’s retro-funk and acid jazz. Soulful female vocals sit alongside American-style raps and Jamaican toasts, and the live instrumentation is as sharp as ever. A worthy addition to the collective’s discography. ~ Steve Huey, Rovi Performers: DJ Smash – Scratching; David Jensen – Saxophone; Desmond Foster – Guitar, Vocals; E.J.

Real Love $2.52 One of reggae’s greatest appeals is how it uses sunny island music to portray life’s difficulties. For example, on Spanner Banner’s “Soldier Girl,” off Real Love, even such spirit-crushing circumstances as poverty are cast in a festive musical light. When struggles are set to a backdrop of bright island music, something transcendent happens; somehow things aren’t so bad, even if it’s only a temporary fix that lasts as long as the song. The light grooving album opener, “Better Must Come,” is another example of how Banner sheds light on the darker days. To be sure, the singer also focuses on happier topics — love, desire, and inner strength — and the combination of tropical music with celebratory themes makes for a purely rapturous experience. Banner takes several risks on Real Love by putting a reggae spin on a handful of popular rock songs, such as Bruce Springsteen’s “Fire” and Eurhythmics’ “Here Comes the Rain Again.” The first features guest vocalist Tanya Stephens and is too syncopated and robotic. It sounds like a preset on a beginner’s Casio keyboard. Banner should have left this hit by the Boss alone. The same, however, cannot be said for the latter, which does Annie Lennox and Dave Stewart proud. Banner’s silky take on “Here Comes the Rain Again” is more like a mid-tempo soul song than reggae and stays pretty true to the original. Other remakes on the album include the R&B-styled party anthem “Ladies Man,” which is inspired and features samples by Kool and the Gang’s “Ladies Night.” A hip-hop-influenced interpretation of “I’ve Been Waiting” draws heavily from the ’80s Foreigner hit and uses the original song’s chorus, sung by Banner, layered over R&B dance beats and rapping, courtesy of Elephant Man and Harry Toddler. Of the 16 tracks on Real Love, two songs stand out from the pack. “Sweet Pain,” featuring vocalist Lady Saw, is a flirty cut that plays like a reggae mating ritual. It’s very primal with raunchy lyrics, backed by thick island beats. Elsewhere, a scaled-down version of Banner’s 1989 song “Life Goes On” provides the album’s most sweetly inspiring moment. To his credit, Banner flavors his worthy reggae music with shades of hip-hop, bouncy R&B, and other contemporary sounds, but, make no mistake, he’s no Bob Marley. However, this is a solid disc with enough banner moments on it to keep listeners smiling. ~ Liana Jonas, Rovi Performers: A.R.P. – Vocals (Background); Arp – Vocals (Background); Chevelle Franklyn – Vocals (Background); Diana King – Vocals (Background); Leba – Vocals (Background); |

Way Up! $14.38 Wayman Tisdale returns to the recording fold after a two-year break to issue another jazz-funk, groove-laden coaster with Way Up! The case of characters on this set is enormous, a few of the more prominent names include Jeff Lorber, Bob James, George Duke, Ricky Peterson, Kirk Whalum, Jonathan Butler, Dave Koz and Mel Brown. Tisdale, as expected, plays “lead bass” on all tracks. His bass-playing, tuned way up high, feels more like an electric baritone guitar than anything else. He plays it like a lead guitarist who never, ever falls out of time. Check out “Let’s Do It Again,” or “Get Down on It,” that also features Darren Rahn’s saxophone sweetening things up quite a bit., and Brown’s bass holding down the bottom end as Tisdale riffs it up. Lorber uses slippery programming and treated keyboards on the ballad “Shape of Your Heart,” with a lovely solo by saxophonist by Donald Hayes. Tisdale’s melodic sensibility is simple, but tasty too, and he employs it throughout here. His read of Sly Stone’s “If You Want Me to Stay,” would be heresy except that it contains fine keyboard work from Lorber, a great saxophone chart and solo by Whalum, and Tisdale’s take on the melody is just gritty enough to get away with it, making it one of the set’s finer cuts. Check “Sweet Dreams,” with vocals by Eric Benet, and we have a neo-soul single in the making. George Duke’s “Tell It Like It Is” is the baddest funk on the side, and the synth horns, brass, and the doubling of Duke’s synth playing and Tisdale’s gutbucket chops make it the winner on an album where there are no losers. ~ Thom Jurek, Rovi Performers: Erik Zobler – Spoken Word; Luther “Mano” Hanes – Keyboard Bass, Keyboards; Peter Olstad – Flugelhorn, Trumpet; Ricky Peterson – Organ (Hammond); Bob James – Piano; Darren Rahn – Saxophone, Vocals, Keyboards; Dave Koz – Saxophone; Eric Benét – Vocals; Eric Dawkins – Vocals (Background), Piano (Grand); |

This-a-Way, That-a-Way $13.58 Ella Jenkins’ This-a-Way, That-a-Way finds the famous folksinger leading a group of school children in fun call and response numbers and singalongs that are as energetic and sunny as they are educational. Jenkins leads her charges on the title track and “Miss Mary Mack,” and has them snap along with her rhythm on “Do You Know Your County?” “I Know a Tom” is alliterative and funny, while “Please Is a Pleasant Expression” illuminates the word in numerous languages over a lilting, almost Hawaiian guitar line. Jenkins is masterful at keeping things simple, fun, and easy to follow, yet never patronizing or tiresome. Whether she’s singing, calling out words, or playing an instrument, it always seems like she’s simply having a conversation with the children, not to mention any grownups who might find themselves caught up in her particular easygoing magic. This-a-Way, That-a-Way is for laughing as much as it is for learning. ~ Johnny Loftus, Rovi Performers: Earl J. White – Fiddle; Guy Guilbert – Sound Effects, Guitar |

Canadian Microbiologists: F lix D’herelle $9.43 Purchase includes free access to book updates online and a free trial membership in the publisher’s book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Excerpt: Félix d’Herelle (April 25, 1873 February 22, 1949) was a French-Canadian microbiologist, the co-discoverer of bacteriophages (viruses that infect bacteria) and experimented with the possibility of phage therapy. D’Herelle was born in Montreal, Quebec, the son of French emigrants. His father, 30 years older than his wife, died when Félix was 6 years old. Félix, his mother and his younger brother Daniel, moved back to Paris. When sixteen years old, he started to travel through western Europe on bike. When 17, after finishing school (he attended the Lycée Condorcet and Lycée Louis-le-Grand high schools), he travelled through South America. Afterwards, he continued his travels through Europe, including Turkey, where he met his wife, Marie Caire. At age 24, now father of a daughter, he and his family moved back to Canada. He built a home laboratory and studied microbiology from books and his own experiments. He earned money by working for the Canadian government, studying the fermentation and distillation of maple syrup to schnapps. He also worked as a medic for a geological expedition, even though he had no medical degree or real experience. Together with his brother, he invested almost all his money in a chocolate factory, which soon went bankrupt. With his money almost gone and his second daughter born, he took a contract with the government of Guatemala as a bacteriologist at the hospital in Guatemala City. As a side job, he was asked to find a way to make whiskey from bananas. Life in the rough and dangerous environment of the country was hard on his family, but d’Herelle, always adventurer at heart, rather enjoyed working close to “real life”, compared to the sterile environments of a “civilized” clinic. He later stated that his scientific |

Email Profiteers $2.99 The Fastest And Easiest Way Ever Revealed To Building Profitable Mailing Lists!Dear Friend,Do you know what one of the fastest and easiest ways to make money online is?Building a targeted mailing list and then broadcasting promotional based messages to a confirmed audience of subscribers.Make sense, right? You simply offer an opt-in incentive to potential subscribers to capture attention, add them to your list and start sending out advertisements and offers that they’ll respond to.Except, there’s one small problem with this formula: For most people, it’s a LOT easier said than done.So while there’s no disputing the fact that email marketing is a BILLION DOLLAR industry, the real question is..”How do you start collecting leads and recruiting ACTIVE subscribers who will actually respond to your offers?”Before I answer that question, let’s rewind things a bit because it might not even be apparent to you WHY you are losing money by not building a mailing list.The truth is, when you first thought of building your online business, you probably never even considered a mailing list as part of your marketing arsenal, right? Don’t feel bad, most of us don’t.We’re far too busy creating our websites and trying to drill down into profitable niche markets so we can make a living online and maybe even quit our day jobs.We need to stay one step ahead of our competition, and a mailing list just seems like too much work, or maybe something that can just be pushed back until we have ‘more time’.In other words, it’s not exactly the most important component to a successful online business..- or is it? ..Here’s the ugly truth about why you aren’t making as much money as you should be..You don’t have a mailing list OR you don’t have a TARGETED mailing list that you can instantly monetize!Even if you spent less than 1/4 of your |

Sweet Brother Malcolm, Words Just Get in the Way $8.96 Purchase includes free access to book updates online and a free trial membership in the publisher’s book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Chapters: A Song for the Lovers, C’mon People, Why Not Nothing? / Sweet Brother Malcolm, Words Just Get in the Way, Break the Night With Colour, Check the Meaning, Buy It in Bottles, Science of Silence, Music Is Power, Money to Burn. Excerpt: “A Song for the Lovers” is a song by English singer-songwriter Richard Ashcroft and is the opening track on his 2000 album, Alone with Everybody. The song was also released on April 3, 2000 as the first single from that album in the United Kingdom (see 2000 in British music). The single peaked at #3 in the UK Singles Chart, a position that would be matched by Ashcroft’s 2006 single “Break the Night with Colour”. A Song for the Lovers was originally written by Richard Ashcroft as a demo track for The Verve’s studio album Urban Hymns. 3 different versions were recorded but the song did not make the final album. The music video for “A Song for the Lovers” premiered in May 2000 and was directed by Jonathan Glazer. The video is of narrative style. It is shot in real-time with an element of diegetic sound unusual in most music videos. Diegetic sound was used previously by Glazer for “Rabbit in Your Headlights”. The video appears to take its cue from the first lines of the song: I spend the night, yeah,Looking for my insides in a hotel room,Waiting for you. It shows Richard Ashcroft shirtless in a hotel room, having apparently just showered. The hotel room is decorated with a large amount of Native American imagery, featuring framed photos of tribal chiefs and a large mural in the bedroom. Ashcroft turns on a stereo and “A Song for the Lovers” starts playing. He makes an enigmatic, mumbled phone call, ending with the complaint, “It’s been half an hour.” He hangs up, and walks out into the hotel corridor (still shirtles… More: |

Second Lives: A Journey through Virtual Worlds $14.99 We’ve always dreamed of perfect places: Eden, heaven, Utopia. Imagine gambling without loss, love without heartbreak, sex without exposure, experience without risk. Welcome to the fascinating world of online virtual reality, the land of invented places and populations that is entered and inhabited every week by nearly fifty million people worldwide. Each participant creates a virtual body, works at virtual jobs, and makes virtual friends and family. In Second Lives, Tim Guest, an internationally acclaimed young journalist, takes us on a revelatory journey through the electronic looking glass as he investigates one of the most bizarre phenomena of the twenty-first century.From Second Life to EverQuest and beyond, here are the computer-generated environments and characters that can easily become more engrossing and fulfilling than earthly existence. With the click of a mouse you can select eye color, face shape, height–you can even give yourself wings. Your character, or avatar, can build houses, make and sell works of art, earn money, get married and divorced.In this fascinating and groundbreaking book, Guest meets people who found meaningful love and friendship despite never having met in person, catches up with the companies that have used virtual worlds to make big money, investigates the U.S. military’s massive online global model that trains soldiers to fight anyone anywhere, and travels all the way to gaming-crazed Korea to get a taste for just how big this phenomenon really is.At first glance, these new computer-generated places seem free from trouble and sorrow. But Guest examines the dark side of this technology too, including the online criminals who plague imaginary worlds, from cyber mafiosos and prostitutes to real hackers and terrorists. It seems that one cannot escape greed, corruption, and human weakness–even inside a computer screen.Are these virtual worlds a way to enhance life or to escape it? Guest |

The simple e-commerce experiments are giving way to highly credible and profitable services that use Internet technologies to unlock the potential of hugely successful traditional brands. Weaving the new with the old, the leaders are creating remarkable services that meet real customer needs and make money lots of it.

The M-Bomb represents the multi-channel challenge which is forcing businesses to equip themselves to deliver products and services efficiently to the home and on the high street, online and through traditional sales channels. Another product, another channel, another market, no problem. Failure to meet this challenge at low cost means certain extinction.

Also known as Multi-Level Marketing or MLM, Network Marketing is just a way for businesses to distribute their products. Rather than using the usual distribution method that moves from manufacturer to a wholesaler or distributor to retailer and finally to the consumer, Network Marketing companies use independent contractor sales people to sell the products directly.

Why, shows that were making money if they played to thirty-two dollars on the day just naturally died. Me? You know I wasn’t hep to the outlook. I come prancing into town fresh from doing one-night stands through the uncultured West. We did bum business for fair, but shucks, there ain’t five dollars’ worth of real money in all of Southern Kansas at no time. Salaries! Huh! I had to send home for money to pay my fines with. I cavort gaily out to hunt a job and find a line from Mr. Seymour’s office that made the run on the Knickerbocker Trust Company look like the nightly window sale of ‘The Evangelist.’ I never seen so many of my friends in town at one time in my life, and if you make a noise like a dollar-bill anywhere between the two Flatirons you’re liable to be the center of a raging mob. I heard it breathed that all the theatrical storehouses in town were playing to S.R.O. |
