| | Simple Plan No Pads, No Helmets...Just Balls CD Simple Plan Discography of CDs
Serving as an answer to the plethora of American-born, third- and fourth-generation pop-punk bands that include Fenix TX and Riddlin' Kids comes Simple Plan, a Montreal-based quintet who packed their debut with plenty of anthems steeped in adolescent angst trimmed with plenty of shout-along-choruses, sweet harmonies, and unadulterated hooks. The album title hints at the band's penchant for toilet humor so it comes as no surprise that Blink 182's Mark Hoppus and Good Charlotte's Joel Madden both put in cameos on the yearning "I'd Do Anything" and the defiant "You Don't Mean Anything" respectively. When you get past the AMERICAN PIE-like comedic sensibilities, Simple Plan slips in a few more serious nuggets like an open letter to a combative father ("Perfect") and an infectious ode to self-loathing ("God Must Hate Me"). Of course, these Canucks with catchy songs steep most of their best material in the trenches of unrequited amour ranging from the double-entendre-littered "Addicted" and chugging love letter "My Alien" to "I Won't Be There," a peppy song that chronicles the end of a relationship. Simple Plan proves American teens don't have the market cornered on angst and emotional upheaval.

No Pads, No Helmets...Just Balls album
 $14.45   
After the dark and chilling themes of 2006's BLACK CADILLAC, which saw Rosanne Cash dealing with the deaths of her mother, Vivian Liberto, her father, Johnny Cash, and her stepmother, June Carter Cash -- all of whom passed within a two-year span -- one might assume that her next project would move into an even deeper level of bleakness, but with THE LIST, it's immediately clear that she has instead found a more measured place to stand. It's a lovely and redemptive outing that looks back to go forward. When Cash turned 18, her father, alarmed that his daughter only knew the songs that were getting played on the radio, gave her a list of what he considered 100 essential American songs; Cash kept that list, and now she's drawn on it for this wonderfully nuanced outing that brims with a kind of redemptive timelessness. THE LIST is a renewal and a testament to life, and it belongs to her father as much as it belongs to her, ...

No Pads, No Helmets...Just Balls album
$15.05
One of the oft-overlooked aspects of Joan Baez's career in the 1960s is that after the first four albums, she never did the same thing twice; what's more, with the possible exception of the Baptism album, she succeeded at least 90 percent of the time in practically everything new that she tried during that decade. One Day at a Time is much closer to 100 percent on target, and was also startlingly new and daring at the time. Today it seems like no big deal, but in 1970 very few singers coming out of the folk scene as Baez did were reaching out to Willie Nelson ("One Day at a Time") and even the Rolling Stones ("No Expectations") for repertory, much less putting them on the same album with music by old leftist composers like Earl Robinson ("Joe Hill"), and then interspersing those songs with traditional country numbers. Even better, she was also writing her own songs, one of which, "Sweet Sir Galahad," ranks among the best songs that she ever recorded (no small compliment considering that the latter list includes much of the Dylan catalog, among other heavyweight compositional competition). She was in the middle of her country phase, mostly working with the best players in Nashville (who are a pleasure to hear as well), but One Day at a TIme has a freer, looser feel than David's Album or Blessed Are, both of which came out of the same orbit. Her version of "Long Black Veil" could've passed muster at The Grand Ol' Opry, and she could've cut these sessions with Dolly Parton, June Carter Cash, or any other female country singer of the era and not been out of place. The sheer, understated power of her voice on Delaney & Bonnie's "Ghetto" and on "Carry It On" is also something to behold, and makes one ...
