Exploration
 $12.55   
On 2008's THE FOUNDATION, singer/guitarist Zac Brown leads his ensemble on a vibrant set of country-rock. While the Georgia-based performer is clearly comfortable with ballads (see his emotive cover of Ray LaMontagne's "Jolene"), he seems most at home on twangy, carefree tracks such as "Toes," "Chicken Fried," and "Sic `Em on a Chicken."
Now that Jimmy Buffett has tried repositioning himself as a country artist by cutting duets with the likes of Alan Jackson, Kenny Chesney and Clint Black, it should come as no surprise that the Parrothead influence has begun making its way into Nashville, and the first major-label effort from Zac Brown features not one but two songs ...

Ten years after his first holiday-themed album, When My Heart Finds Christmas, pianist/vocalist Harry Connick, Jr. found the spirit again with Harry for the Holidays. Still centered on Connick's vocals, this foray into "tinsel tunes" is more jazz oriented than his 1993 release and allows for his growth as a performer, arranger, and conductor. Like a Brooks Brothers' suit worn at Mardi Gras, Connick's writing for his big band and full orchestra mixes New Orleans rhythms with crisp, swinging arrangements that call to mind '60s Michel Legrand and Quincy Jones. Nothing Connick has done before can quite prepare you for the screaming trumpets and rollicking second-line-style swing of his leadoff take on "Frosty the Snowman." In fact, most of the classic standards here, including "Hark the Herald Angels Sing" and "Silver Bells," get highly unexpected treatments as on "Santa Clause Is Coming to Town," which is worked up into a funky, brass-band "go-go" dance number. Similarly tasty is "I'll Be Home for Christmas," which not only features some of the best crooning the Will and Grace star has ever done, but also a beautifully modest Count Basie-inspired piano solo. There is also an appealing balance to Harry for the Holidays between songs of Christmas nostalgia and heartfelt ruminations on what the season means in a deeper sense. Throw in four original compositions that touch on Scott Walker-esque orchestrated pop, Tin Pan Alley songcraft, and country -- yes, that is the George Jones dueting with Connick on "Nothin' New for the New Year" -- and not only do you have one of the best holiday albums in years, but easily the best album of Connick's career. [Harry for the Holidays was reissued in 2005 as a dual disc CD/DVD with additional audio tracks, video clips ...

| | Socratic Spread The Rumors CD (2008)
Exploration
$8.69
The breezy, sweet, laid-back sound on Socratic's Spread the Rumors is a definite change from their previous album, Lunch for the Sky, which was harder and more aggressive. It's a change for the better, as softer seems more suitable for the group, and the change in direction could indicate that the band is in the process of finding its true sound. The question is, is this quieter approach too sedate? First time listeners will probably have no complaints, but those who have listened to the band from the beginning may not be pleased with this lighter, more pop-oriented affair. There's also the argument that by leaving their rock inclinations behind, Socratic have also lost a bit of bite. The songs on Spread the Rumors may be catchy and endearing, but the album seems to lack substance as it goes on. None of the songs stand out or grab the listener, and while the performances are steady, nothing stands out as a central focus. (Of course, that also means that nothing is out of place in a bad way, either.) That said, there are plenty of nuanced moments on the album that makes for a pleasant listen. The vocals provided by Duane Okun are smooth and delicate, and the band has no trouble harmonizing with for bright, cheerful choruses. (With the exception of drummer Tom Stratton, each member -- Okun, bassist Lou Panico, pianist Vinny D'Amico, ...
