Instrumental music that pays tribute walks a not-so-fine line between cheesy parody and sincere tribute. And while the syrupy days of Muzak, for the most part, remain in the past, it's also rare to find high quality instrumentalists who aspire to no more than copying other people's music. Pickin' on Blues Traveler wavers between "smarmy covers for the 21st century" and competent musicianship capable of capturing the original flavoring. Multi-instrumentalist David West seems to be the glue holding the project together, and his acoustic guitar skills on cuts like "Run Around" and "Hook" smolder and ignite like the real thing. Tom Ball's harmonica kicks off pieces like "But Anyway" and "Canadian Rose," guaranteeing an unmistakable reference to the band in review, while mandolinist Tom Corbett's appearance on tunes like "Girl Inside My Head" and "But Anyway" add a bit of pizzazz to the proceedings. Pickin' on Blues Traveler potentially has two audiences. First, fans will probably want to check it out, just from curiosity, and next, detractors who never appreciated the singing can take fresh peak at the jam without the band. Either way, the disc makes pretty good background music, and is probably superior to whatever's playing overhead at one's local grocery store. ~ Ronnie D. Lankford, Jr.

Pickin' On Blues Traveler: A Tribute music CDs
$14.65 Taylor Swift abandons any pretense that she's a teen on her second album, FEARLESS--which isn't to say that she suddenly tarts herself up, running away from her youth in a manner that's all too familiar to many teen stars. Swift's maturation is deliberate and careful, styled after the crossover country-pop of Shania Twain and Faith Hill before they turned into divas. Despite the success of her self-titled 2006 debut, there's nothing at all diva-like about Swift on FEARLESS: she's soft-spoken and considerate, a big sister instead of a big star. Nowhere is this truer than on "Fifteen," a kind warning for a teen to watch her heart sung from the perspective of a woman who's perhaps twice that age--a sly trick for the 18-year-old Swift. There may be a hint of youthfulness to her singing but that's the only hint of girlishness here; her writing--and she had a hand in penning all 13 tracks here, with six of them bearing her solitary credit--is sharply, subtly crafted and the music is softly assured, never pushing its hooks too hard. Like many country-pop albums of the 2000s, the pop heavily outweighs the country--there ...
