Leaving his avant-rock past (Faust, Slapp Happy, etc.) behind, Blegvad began releasing relatively straightforward, song-oriented albums in the late '80s with DOWNTIME. That album's follow-up, JUST WOKE UP, ups the ante with less experimental diversions, more stripped-down arrangements and a resultant increase of focus on Blegvad's skewed-but-hooky songwriting. DOWNTIME'S occasional sonic references to XTC are borne out here by the affecting ballad "Hell's Despite," co-written by XTC frontman Andy Partridge. Blegvad loves to turn a satirical eye toward the dark side of life, and he does so expertly on "Mad Love Vanishes," "Waste of Time" and others, but his eccentric sense of humor keeps the darkness from becoming overwhelming. JUST WOKE UP is this master songwriter's brightest moment.
Personnel includes: Peter Blegvad; B.J. Cole (steel guitar); Tim Hodgkinson (clarinet); John Greaves (bass); Chris Cutler (drums).
Rolling Stone (2/22/96, p.62) - 3 Stars (out of 5) - "Peter Blegvad is the kind of artist that the term `cult hero' was coined for, a singer/songwriter who makes infectious pop music that's too witty and complex ever to be really popular but who keeps trying nonetheless..."
Q (9/96, p.108) - 4 Stars (out of 5) - "...songs about life's ironies and greater truths, that are articulate, droll and yet touching....this album, drawled laconically over typically spartan, tasteful musicianship, covers some familiar ground...with his usual quirky irony..."
Option (3-4/96, p.94) - "It's a little frightening just how much songwriting talent the redoubtable Mr. Blegvad can wield when the spirit moves him....Sly humor, honest emotion, and thinking man's cynicism come together beautifully..."

Unlike its 2002 predecessor Back in the U.S., Good Evening New York City doesn't cherrypick highlights from a tour, it commemorates a specific event: the inauguration of Citi Field -- the replacement for the now-defunct Shea Stadium, where the Beatles played a legendary show in 1965 -- in the summer of 2009. The circumstances may be different -- different enough to lead to a Billy Joel cameo on "I Saw Her Standing There," the piano man returning a favor from Paul, who played at Billy's Shea-closing shows in 2008 -- and McCartney might have two strong albums of new material to draw upon, but as an album, Good Evening New York City plays a lot like Back in the U.S. ...

Just Woke Up
$9.58
Like the HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL franchise, GLEE became more than a TV show when several of its songs cracked the Hot 100, including the number four hit "Don't Stop Believing." That song kicks off this soundtrack, the first in a series of albums cataloging the music performed by the show's cast. Not all GLEE members are created equal--some cast mates are far better actors than singers--but this soundtrack has enough star power to keep things trucking along, especially when powerhouse alto Lea ...
| | Toby Keith American Ride CD (2009)
Just Woke Up
$11.99 
With most contemporary country artists, you could guarantee that a song called "American Ride" would be a slice of jingoism, but Toby Keith isn't like most country singers. His "American Ride" casts a cynical eye at desperate housewives and wannabe pop stars, not celebrating down-home values but wondering where we're all headed on this American Ride at the end of the 2000s, a sentiment not all that far removed from some of Keith's previous social commentary, which makes it a mild surprise that it is the only song here that doesn't come from his own pen. As superb and striking as it is, it's not necessarily a good keystone for the rest of the record, which does ...

She says "As Ellington said It don't mean a thing if it ain't got that swing'.Notable performances for her include twice at Jazz At Lincoln Center in the Women In Jazz Festival and once for a week-long stay there.She was a featured performer on the S.S.
