Michelle Anthony doesn't reinvent anything on this album, but offers more of the dark and somewhat dingy country ballads that bring to mind Kathleen Edwards, Allison Moorer, or Gillian Welch raised on a heap of alt.country albums. Her songwriting and mundane narrative on the opener, "Mourning Song," visit territory Lucinda Williams touched on during Essence. Produced by former Wilco member Jay Bennett, the album has a world-weary aura that's consistently strong. The pace picks up nicely on the adorable country-cum-roots rock "Don't Deny." Here, Anthony loosens up vocally for a stellar performance and a hook-filled chorus. It's as if Natalie Merchant went to Austin, TX, and never came back. A mellower "All This Time" is pleasing but doesn't quite get over the proverbial bar that the first two did easily. She is more successful on the piano-driven "Radio Waves," which evokes images of an Americana-ized Sarah McLachlan. It perhaps also draws closer to Sheryl Crow's The Globe Sessions. Another sleeper pick might be the pop-tinged "Ivy Rider," which is pure bliss as Anthony shows off her chops. Crow's influence is definitely discerned on "Family Tree (The Ballad of Jack Rice)," which recalls Tuesday Night Music Club or There Goes the Neighborhood. The short and punchy Richards-like riffs can't help "Analog Feeling," though. The sultry blues-meets-pop during "Bubble Clock" is one of the album's highlights, a hard-driving roadhouse tune resembling Bonnie Raitt with something to prove. A gorgeous barroom piano introduces the slower country ballad "Closer," which Anthony hits out of the park. It's hard not to like. ~ Jason MacNeil

Stand Fall Repeat Music Review Average Rating: (3 out of 5 stars)   Bought It
Hate it. Not that it's bad, but it is just so boring and generic. There is no danger to this record, and rock music shouldbe dangerous. It is filled with pretty piano based songs that do nothing as far as dynamics or innovation. I thought Jay Bennett produced this album?

 Freshman outing that lives up to the hype
Quality writing and some top notch singing. Reminiscent of Carole King, Janis Ian, Chrissis Hynde and other femme fatales of old. The music isn't that challenging or creative, but the songs are melodic and comfortable to the ears. The production is fine, but one expects more from a Jay Bennett piece...there are not the tricks one would expect. This is not a slight, but an observation. "Bubble Clock" and "Don't Deny" are the top two on this album, chugging forward with authority and taking no prisoners. highly recommeded, and keep on eye on her!!!

Shakira's brand new English album She Wolf is an uptempo pop album. It is all about synthesizers and electronic concepts, all mixed with the world sounds that we are used to from Shakira.. sounds from countries like India, the Middle East and her home country of Colombia. She Wolf features a predominantly English track list with a follow up album of new and unique repertoire in Spanish to come in 2010. The title track "She-Wolf " boasts the infectious and energizing sound that made Shakira a household name, with a slightly more dancey/ electronic beat (about 125 beats per minute). Though most tracks on the upcoming album will be in English, Shakira chose to service the Spanish version of the first single, "Loba", two weeks before the English single is launched.
Last time around, Shakira touched upon so many styles she couldn't be contained on one album, splitting Oral Fixation in two. This time, she focuses on one sound only: a pulsating electro-disco that crosses all boundaries and welcomes all nationalities. Such concentration behooves ...

France's Gipsy Kings have been purveying their distinctive brand of gypsy/flamenco music since the 1970s, when the Reyes brothers (sons of legendary flamenco singer Jose Reyes) banded together with their talented cousins, the Bailardos, to play the music that was a fundamental part of their lives. After years of amazing performances, the group finally broke worldwide in the late '80s, bringing the sound of their homeland to audiences all over Europe and America. This compilation brings together some ...
