CD Review: A Sunny Day In Glasgow — Nitetime Rainbows

A Sunny Day in Glasgow Nitetime Rainbows By Alec Wooden In reality, 2010 should be predestined as a tough year for A Sunny Day in Glasgow.

CD Review: Leroy Powell and the Messengers — Atlantis; playing Peachtree Tavern and Five Spot

Leroy Powell and the Messengers Atlantis by Al Kaufman Leroy Powell is so entrenched in classic rock that he makes the Black Crowes sound like Hannah Montana. This is tough to believe considering his resume. Powell has worked with the likes of David Allen Coe, Billy Joe Shaver, and Waylon’s son, Shooter Jennings. It seems […]

CD Review – Massive Attack “Heligoland”

By Eric Chavez After Sade’s “No Ordinary Love,” the best song used for a love scene in a film has got to be Massive Attack’s  “Unfinished Symphony” in the film Sliver, but Massive Attack went on to be known as much more than erotic thriller music makers. The band, in their 20+ year career has […]

CD Review: Jenny Owen Youngs — Transmitter Failure; Plays the Earl March 4th

Jenny Owen Youngs Transmitter Failure Nettwerk by Al Kaufman What sets Jenny Owen Youngs apart from the other girls with guitars is her versatility. She can get all potty-mouthed like Liz Phair one second, then snuggle up on your lap and ask you to stroke her hair the next. She’s tough and vulnerable, glib and confessional. […]

CD Review: The Happy Hollows — Spells

CD Review: The Happy Hollows — Spells

The Happy Hollows Spells By Alec Wooden Two tracks into my maiden spin through The Happy Hollows Spells, I wanted to be sure a couple mistakes weren’t made, so I made it a point to remind myself (literally, on paper): “You are not reviewing The Yeah Yeah Yeah’s.” Five minutes later, that was changed to […]
