Reviews music

On 'White,' by the Rooftop Revolutionaries, lead singer Eleanor Goldfield provides wailing, throat-ripping vocals. Imagine a hybrid of Joan Jett and Patty Smyth pumped up on performance enhancing substances.

The six tracks on ‘Sightlines’ range from downtempo pop to dance/house-flavoured.

New albums from contemporary jazz singers with varying agendas.

Voices simulate the ringing of bells and the knocking-on of doors as effectively as they convey the desperation of foiled lovers, the comic scheming of the servant class, and the self-satisfied prancing of the smug.

Music is music, and in the hands of the right musician any and all music is ripe for creative renewal.

‘My Love Is Strong’ would fit right into the music collection of those who love original easy listening songs imbibed with folk, Americana, and country flavours.

Chunky grooves, spidery guitar, and homespun philosophy fuel the aptly named 'Hillbilly Zen-Punk Blues,' the latest and best-yet release from Reverend Freakchild.

Postmodern jazz old and new.

The eight other tracks on ‘The Lies You Leave Behind’ are what one would expect after last month’s (Elliott Smith-sounding) single release, "He Was a Man".

'In the Beginning' is not the mature Wes Montgomery at the top of his game, but early Montgomery is nothing to sneer at.
