Sugar Ray & The Bluetones: Sugar Ray Norcia (vocals, harmonica); Monster Mike Welch (guitar); Michael Mudcat Ward (acoustic & electric bass); Neil Gouvin (drums).
Additional personnel: Anthony Geraci (piano, Hammond B-3 organ.
Recorded at My Generation, Somerville, Massachussetts.
Sugar Ray Norcia has a burnished and warm quality to his voice that's ideally suited to the laid-back and rockin' blues featured on Sugar Ray & the Bluetones Featuring Monster Mike Welch. In fact, the whole band sounds steeped in Hennessy and tradition. This includes guest Welch, whose work on his mid-tempo original "Get Over Me" proves how close he is to matching the quality of B.B. King and Jimmie Vaughan. As a whole, the album is a tasty affair moving deftly from interesting standards such as the Norcia harmonica-driven "And the Angels Sing" to the torrid balladry of "Love and Trouble." This is easily one of Sugar Ray's best efforts. ~ Matt Collar

Papa Roach: Tobin Esperance (vocals, guitar, bass guitar); Jerry Horton (vocals, guitar); Dave Buckner (vocals, drums); Jacoby Shaddix (vocals).
Getting Away with Murder offers Papa Roach fans more of the California combo's hard-hitting rage rock. Jacoby Shaddix (the name change stands) and crew have moved fully away from the rap rock blip that put them on the radar around the turn of the century. But they haven't lost their amplified intensity, nor the obsession with depressing, vaguely S&M-ish lyrics. (Example: "I'm a glutton for your punishment/You're the master/And I'm waiting for disaster") Production from Howard Benson and the mixing of Chris Lord-Alge ensure a crushingly compressed, radio-ready juggernaut, and the title track doesn't disappoint in that department. "Be Free" is also a standout, moving slightly away from the usual heavy mid-tempo sound for a scathing exploration of the ravages of alcoholism on Shaddix' tortured psyche. Fans of the Roach will certainly enjoy the loud, blustery Getting Away With Murder, even if it's not necessarily helping this fluxing genre through its growing pains. ~ Johnny Loftus
Howard Benson, Chris Lord-Alge, Papa Roach. It's gotten to the point where you can fill in the last name with another combo of mascara-eyed angry men jockeying for position in the bubbling ooze of the post-rap-rock (yes, that's a term) universe. Producer Benson and mixer Lord-Alge are professionals both, masters of compression and punching up the radio mix. This is what they offer Papa Roach -- a promise that the band's Getting Away with Murder will sound both raging and properly marketable. To that end, "Not Listening" rewrites the 2001 Roach hit "Last Resort" without the rap, while the big title-track single is built around a mechanistic Korn bass throb and a carnival ...

Album Theme: These songs arise out of a profound, growing sense of disturbance with the course of American culture. Our country was once highly principled, where principles informed every aspect of life, from family to government. But we have slid off a precipice into an abyss of self-indulgence, passivity, and moral carelessness which is destroying the fabric that held us together as a nation. Only from recognizing the extent of our departure from that which once endowed us with greatness, can there issue any possibility of recovery. These songs hit hard, but it is hoped that with the injury ...offered only in love... there will also be healing. God grant it!Song Notes: Things of the Heart: In a world filled with fear and uncertainty, what can we count on?The Flag Has Touched The Ground: "When the flag is lowered, no part of it should touch the ground or any other object. " (from "flag etiquette": usflag.org).Faith St. Yves: Several years ago, in a small Maine community, an infant was found dead in the house trailer of a young couple. A Dusty Robin Sings: A country has lost its ideals.Family: An institution still stands.Ice Storm: The great winter storm of 1998 in Maine inspired this song.Shelling Bethlehem: Does anything sacred remain in our day?Faces: What will become of the next generation? The next? And the next?Linda: I love you.The Executioner: Actions have consequences. Artist Bio: My parents, Nathan and Rebecca B. Kaliss, through their love of music, established a tremendous musical context for me as a child. The house was always alive with classical and international folk music recordings, with Mom's adept piano-playing, and with amateur chamber-music groups which in my earlier days sometimes included my father on the clarinet. Guests were frequently invited over to hear impromptu concerts, one of the highlights often being my parents' lively four-hand piano renditions of the poignant works of Dvorak and Brahms, or my mother soloing with the music of Mozart, Beethoven, Bach, or Chopin. The music and composers of Eastern Europe, reflecting our ethnic Jewish roots, seemed especially to find their way into my blood. The area of coastal Maine we lived in had a large, high-quality music culture, active especially during the summers, with frequent concerts. Mom schooled me ...
