• Devin The Dude: Suite #420

    Updated: 2010-05-28 14:45:28
    Check Our Catalog “The AC/DC of trashy stoner rap…as the Dude would say, Suite #420 got it all rolled up, and you just gotta put a light on it.” –All Music Guide

  • Meaghan Smith: The Cricket’s Orchestra

    Updated: 2010-05-28 14:45:05
    Check Our Catalog “From the sound of her music, Smith spent her years growing up in Canada listening to some combination of old Joni Mitchell albums and old 78s from the ’20s; occasionally, she may have tried applying a hip-hopper’s scratch technique to those records.” –All Music

  • Alan Jackson: Freight Train

    Updated: 2010-05-28 14:44:11
    Check Our Catalog “More than ever, the singer sounds like part of the old guard, willfully ignoring anything modern or rocking, preferring to sing swaying ballads and pay tribute to Vern Gosdin via a cover of “Till the End.” Certainly, there’s a fair share of charm to Jackson’s cozy confidence…it’s the sound of a major star [...]

  • Christian Scott: Yesterday You Said Tomorrow

    Updated: 2010-05-28 14:43:17
    Check Our Catalog “Yesterday You Said Tomorrow is more than a collection of tunes; it’s a statement. It’s impossible…not to notice the tonal similarities to Miles’ work of the late ’60s in Scott’s trumpet playing, and the pacing and feisty overall attitude of several tracks is reminiscent of the more contemplative music of that time.” –All [...]

  • Mary Chapin Carpenter: The Age of Miracles

    Updated: 2010-05-28 14:42:34
    Check Our Catalog “It was always clear that she was a folk-influenced singer/songwriter who found a way to coexist with Nashville rather than an artist whose first goal was landing singles on country radio. Now that Carpenter has left the major labels, she seems more than willing to let the country side of her musical personality [...]

  • Marvin Sapp: Here I Am

    Updated: 2010-05-27 19:32:15
    Check Our Catalog “It’s that voice that carries the day: a strong, husky, impassioned, and — above all else — undeniably soulful vehicle that blasts through these busy arrangements like an alto sax.” –All Music Guide

  • Jo Dee Messina: Unmistakable Love

    Updated: 2010-05-27 19:31:34
    Check Our Catalog “The songs on Love are unified in their views of love and show a different side of the party-girl image that Messina gave off in the first part of the decade. The songs are mature and of a piece; they look at the redemptive power of love in all its facets. Messina’s fans [...]

  • Patty Griffin: Downtown Church

    Updated: 2010-05-27 14:04:28
    Check Our Catalog “Griffin’s vocals here possess a fierce passion bordered by a touching emotional fragility, as if she’s fully aware of the gravity of the themes at hand, and means to give them the consideration they deserve.” –All Music Guide

  • Preservation: An Album to Benefit Preservation Hall and the Preservation Hall Music Outreach Program

    Updated: 2010-05-27 14:04:06
    Check Our Catalog “An homage to one of the longest-running musical institutions in the country and the important place it holds in keeping New Orleans jazz alive…as well as one heck of a great listen. Standout numbers come from artists like Chicago indie stalwart Andrew Bird, who delivers a loose and rambling version of “Shake It [...]

  • OK Go: Of the Blue Colour of the Sky

    Updated: 2010-05-27 14:02:58
    Check Our Catalog “The band’s lack of a defining musical style has proven an advantage here, as frontman Damian Kulash and co. were clearly able to explore their boundaries, unconfined by audience expectations…and this dancefloor-baiting synth-funk sound seems like a more exciting direction for the band. One gets the feeling that, while this probably won’t be [...]
