While it might be sacrilegious to blues aficionados, many listeners find the genre a bit boring. How many times, they wonder, can a singer rely on three chords to sing about how his woman left him? Paul Geremia rises above the blues dog pile on Love, Murder and Mosquitos by bringing edgy vocals and lively acoustic guitar work to bear on an eclectic set list. It's doubtful, for instance, that the listener has heard anything quite like "Evil World Blues." The arrangement is highlighted by Geremia's deft fingerpicking and Martin Grosswendt's bluesy fiddle, and the lyric, while centered on timely problems, has an unmistakably contemporary touch: "Homelessness is a nightmare in the veil of corporate greed/It will chew you up and spew you out to fertilize the American dream." Geremia, here as well as on "New Bully of the Town," does have a few political points to make, but luckily he never sounds like a touchy-feely singer/songwriter who got so caught up in his message that he forgot to make catchy music. Many of these songs are drawn from the repertoires of prewar blues players like Bill Broonzy, Charley Patton, and Blind Lemon Jefferson. Special nods go to the vivacious "Tootie Blues" and an ode to bug bites, "Mosquito Moan." Geremia does more than offer a fresh take on the oldest of genres on Love, Murder and Mosquitos; he makes the blues fun. ~ Ronnie D. Lankford Jr.

Purchase Love, Murder & Mosquitos CD To buy, Click on price to add to cart | VH1 Presents The Corrs Live In Dublin CD (2002)
Love, Murder & Mosquitos album
 $6.39  
This audio document of The Corrs' Dublin homecoming concert has pretty much everything fans of Irish pop could wish for, including an appearance from Bono in his earthly incarnation, fresh from an audience with President George W. Bush. It's to the band's credit that the charismatic singer fails to steal the show, despite creditable efforts via an anthemized version of Ryan Adams' beautifully downtempo "When the Stars Go Blue," and a great, leering rendition of Lee Hazlewood and Nancy Sinatra's "Summer Wine."
Somewhat more mysteriously, Rolling Stone Ron Wood also turns up on what sounds dangerously close to a lounge version of Jimi Hendrix's "Little Wing," but this minor faux pas is ...
| | Drive-By Truckers Southern Rock Opera CDs (2001) Digipak
Love, Murder & Mosquitos CD music
$11.99   
A sprawling two-disc set, the Drive-By Truckers' SOUTHERN ROCK OPERA is a cracked masterpiece that's enjoyable on several different levels. Hipsters might enjoy the giggly premise of a two-disc set devoted to a slightly altered retelling of the rise and fall of 1970s Southern rock icons Lynyrd Skynyrd. Progressive rock fans lamenting the modern era's relative lack of story-driven albums divided into "Act I" and "Act II" will latch onto SOUTHERN ROCK OPERA with the same passion with which they embraced THE LAMB LIES DOWN ON BROADWAY. And most importantly, unreconstructed Southern ...
| | Tom Waits Real Gone CD (2004)
Love, Murder & Mosquitos music CDs
$13.25
The absence of piano is significant--Waits's jazzy harmonic underpinning is entirely dismantled here, leaving only the most basic, blues-oriented structures atop which Waits hangs his distinctive poetic imagery, at once surreal and highly detailed. There's an overwhelming sense of darkness ("How's It Gonna End," ...

| | Antony I Am A Bird Now CD (2005)
Love, Murder & Mosquitos album
$12.49 
Though he probably achieved his greatest mainstream recognition backing up Lou Reed on tour, idiosyncratic songbird Antony is a fully established artiste in his own right. Backed by the Johnsons, as on I AM A BIRD NOW, he crafts delicate ballads that skirt the lines between cabaret, artsong, and pop, with the kind of voice that Stephin Merritt would probably kill for. Antony's unique pipes bring to mind an androgynous Bryan Ferry or a high, quavery summit meeting between Jimmy Scott (another Reed supporter) and Aaron Neville. The stately, graceful, largely piano-driven songs on I AM A BIRD NOW are full of honest, uncluttered emotion, but never go over the top. The communication is direct and immediate, as wisps of melancholy settle ...

Early on, critics often described Dredg as a metal group. However, the quartet has since matured into a hard-edged indie-rock ensemble that seeks diversity and refinement in its music. On CATCH WITHOUT ARMS, the band favors highly orchestrated parts, dense guitar riffs, and powerful drumming. ...
