Pilot's Stranger's Waltz proves that there was a lot more bubbling under the musical landscape in the Pacific Northwest than Nirvana and Mudhoney. Take the time to scrape back the husks of the grunge scene and the mountains will easily give up their secrets -- and talent. Fronted by Dharma Bums' Jeremy Wilson, Pilot produced an exciting and organic blend of folk, rock, and pop -- all big sounds shot straight from the heart which, when combined with catchy melodic hooks, turned into something extraordinarily special. This entire album was recorded very simply -- one song a session -- and the results are easy on both the soul and ears across songs of love and lament. It thrashes enough to boil the blood, yet becomes quiet when necessary to pull emotion through melody in order to make a point. "Indigo Bleeds the Sun" paints a Dylan-esque picture of life under an endless veil of gray skies, while the rolling rhythm and travel-weary vocals within "West Texas Wind" aurally convey a vivid visual portrait. "600 Miles," meanwhile, packed with crunchy noise layered behind an acoustic guitar, was the band's take on the Proclaimers' "500 Miles" -- and Pilot's version not only pushed the Proclaimers' completely out of the frame, but also perpetuated the time-old tradition of reinventing the folk song. The songs on Stranger's Waltz meld to create one gargantuan tale, but they also stand beautifully on their own. From first to last, Pilot has given their audience something which feels like home, big skies, and a lover's arms all at the same time. The songs are timeless, not confined to genre or trend. And how many albums are there which make you want to get into the car and just drive? ~ Amy Hanson

$9.58 Susan Boyle's grand unveiling on Britain's Got Talent was with a song from Les Miserables - the very song that lends this album its title -- and if she could become an international sensation based on a show tune standard, there's no reason for her to change her approach on her debut, since that's the sound that made her a star. Plus, a large part of Boyle's appeal is that she's a middle-aged woman recalling a bygone era when ...

"Legends of the Goddess" and "Beyond the Pale: Legends of the Goddess II" are the first and second cd in a three volume collection ("The Goddess Series") which feature musical themes based on the Celtic Goddess of ancient myth.Laura Powers' fascination and extensive research in Celtic mythology, combined with her talent as a singer/songwriter, and her lifelong love of painting led her to the creation of this project.The music, enhanced by instrumentation such as tin whistle, uilleann pipes and Irish flute, melds with the lyrical imagery and her oil paintings, to present a timeless collection of music and art. "This has been a work in progress for some time," says Powers, who adds that, when she conceived the project, "I was thinking partially in terms of the kind of music that I'd like to paint to, because when I paint I'm on a different level of awareness, and I wanted songs that would help take me--and the listener--to that level." From songs like the mythical "Goddess of the Sea Mist" to "Answer Me With Silence," her music captures the heart and soothes the spirit. As the daughter of a military officer, Laura Powers spent much of her youth living in various parts of the world.She studied abroad and began singing professionally in college.She went on to land a recording deal with Carrere Records in Paris, France where she had several successful singles and appeared internationally on radio and television.In addition to her background as a live performer, Powers' craftsmanship as a songwriter has made a name for herself in the music and film industries.Her songs have been covered by numerous recording artists, and is reaching an international audience with her songs recorded in French and Spanish. Powers, who first began songwriting in her late teens says, "I'm big on melody, beautiful harmonies and layered voices, as well as the time-honored classic structure of pop songs." Musically, the influence of European pop can be heard throughout the records, and lyrically, it is the metaphysical/mythological aspect of Legends that is the central focus.The songs from the first cd "Legends of the Goddess" are full of ancient Celtic references, including "Tir Na Nog (Land of the Ever Young) a Celtic/Euro-pop reverie about the mystical land of the Ever Young; "Samhain Madrigal," ...
