Susan Boyle I Dreamed A Dream CD (2009)

Hard & Heavy: Rock Hard album

$9.55

Susan Boyle's grand unveiling on Britain's Got Talent was with a song from Les Miserables - the very song that lends this album its title -- and if she could become an international sensation based on a show tune standard, there's no reason for her to change her approach on her debut, since that's the sound that made her a star. Plus, a large part of Boyle's appeal is that she's a middle-aged woman recalling a bygone era when there were singers that appealed to an adult audience by offering soft, stately versions of pop hits and standards. That time was the late `60s and early `70s, and apart from a rather faithful version of Madonna's "You'll See," I Dreamed a Dream could very well have been released all those years ago, as it mixes up the show tunes, gospel, and Christmas carols with covers of Skeeter Davis' "The End of the World," ...

Jimmy Buffett Buffet Hotel CD (2009)

Hard & Heavy: Rock Hard CD music

$9.74

Since Jimmy Buffett never leaves his comfort zone, it's hard to call 2009's Buffet Hotel a return to roots but, in a way, it is. Discounting the mock rap on "Turn Up the Heat and Chill the Rosé," this album doesn't even have the lingering country and reggae flavors that seasoned 2006's Take the Weather with You, with all of the songs riding a cool, mellow country-rock wave, the kind that has been his stock-in-trade since the `70s. There's a difference between being part of a tradition and being stuck in the past and Buffett is surely in the former, not shying away from the new millennial mess, admitting that we all have "A Lot to Drink About" and never flinching ...

Mark Knopfler Get Lucky CD (2009)

Hard & Heavy: Rock Hard music CDs

$15.65

With the release of GET LUCKY, Mark Knopfler has made as many solo studio albums as he made group studio albums with Dire Straits, which itself may be a signal that it's time to stop comparing his two careers and simply accept them as separate entities. Of course, since Knopfler was the lead singer, chief instrumentalist, and songwriter for Dire Straits, there are obvious similarities, even if he has ...

Lady Gaga Fame Monster CD (2009)

Hard & Heavy: Rock Hard songs

$8.79

Initially planned solely as a standard double-disc reissue in the wake of the blockbuster success of The Fame, Lady Gaga decided to release the new material as a separate EP called The Fame Monster in addition to the standard two-CD set, where it's tacked onto a now standardized version of her debut. It's a nice move for fans, plus it helps emphasize the new material, which does act as a bridge from the debut to a forthcoming full-length. Everything on The Fame Monster bears a galvanized Eurotrash finish, as evident on the heavy steel synths of "Bad Romance" and the updated ABBA revision "Alejandro," as it is on the rock & roll ballad "Speechless" -- its big guitars lifted from Noel Gallagher -- and the wonderful, perverse march "Teeth." Even the stuttering splices on "Telephone," ...

Bon Jovi Circle CD (2009)

Hard & Heavy: Rock Hard CD music

$11.17

Bon Jovi's 2007 effort, LOST HIGHWAY, found New Jersey's finest brandishing a Nashville-tinged, commercial rock/country crossover sound that wasn't too far a stretch from their usual arena rocking anthems for the Everyman. And where that album sometimes tried too hard to fit into the conventions of trad country, sacrificing some of the fist-pumping potency of their best `90s-era efforts in the process, THE CIRCLE, the band's fifth studio effort of the `00s, is a back-to-roots return to form focused on uplifting hooks and a hard-hitting guitar rock energy. Once again teaming up with producer John Shanks, who also worked the band's previous two albums, Bon Jovi relay the struggles and upheavals of the common man on lead single "We Weren't ...

Katrina Carlson Untucked CD (2003)

Hard & Heavy: Rock Hard album

$16.45

Singer/songwriter Katrina Carlson has been bubbling just under the surface of the pop music mainstream since her independent debut release of 2001, Apples for Eve; her songs have been picked up for advertising campaigns and TV-show soundtracks, and she's a regular fixture on Billboard's adult contemporary charts. Her sophomore effort finds her getting souped-up production worthy of any chart-topping diva, resulting in a rootsy but polished sound that brings to mind some of Sheryl Crow's better work. The album's centerpiece is a gorgeous love song titled "I Know You by Heart," which she sings in duet with Benny Mardones (who had a hit back in the '80s with "Into the Night"), but other highlight tracks include a subtly cynical rewrite of the Beatles on "New Shoes," the melodically cathartic and faintly country-flavored "Go-To Girl," and an unidentified track hidden after the brief, operatic outro at the end of the album. Very nice stuff indeed. ~ Rick Anderson Katrina Carlson graduated with honors from Brown University with a degree in International Relations, Foreign Policy and Diplomacy with a focus on nuclear arms control. Naturally, she is a singer-songwriter.Singing always played a big part in Katrina's life and provided a way for her to distinguish herself from her ten older siblings. She began playing the piano at age eight and the guitar at age twelve. She continued on her musical path through school and was trained classically at the Manhattan School of Music and the Brooklyn College Opera program.Her early performance experience ranged from the Aspen Music Festival to the off-Broadway Cole Porter review, You Never Know. Her range in music is vast, ...
