Fern Knight - Fern Knight (VHF)
29 April 2008Fern Knight is entrancing Renaissance fare with a psych-rock twist.
The Terrordactyls - Pianos (New York) - Tuesday, April 8, 2008
10 April 2008The Terrordactyls make the most dino-tastic music since T.Rex.
Richard and Linda Thompson - I Want to See the Bright Lights Tonight (Island)
17 March 2008For the past week, I’ve been listening to this record almost obsessively, so I feel compelled to give it the full review treatment.
Neil Young - Live at Massey Hall 1971 (Reprise)
13 March 2007It took 36 years for this to be officially released; it’s worth the wait.
Karen Dalton - In My Own Time (Light in the Attic)
19 November 2006The cracked majesty of her singing, sounding so raw and vulnerable yet actually imbued with subtle craft, recalls BILLIE HOLIDAY in her final years. An acquired taste for some, but for many there’s an immediate attraction.
Eric Bachmann - To The Races (Saddle Creek)
16 November 2006Bachmann is to indie rock/folk what Madonna is to pop. He skillfully reinvents himself every few years. Created while he was living in the back of his van during a Northwestern summer, this album is an audio journal (of sorts) by a modern musical transcendentalist.
Various Artists - The Squid and The Whale [Soundtrack] (Ultra)
24 March 2006Pensive and poignant, the rich flavor of soundtrack will entice continuous play, the good version of listening to a broken record.
