Herman Jolly is a popular indie/folk solo artist in the Pacific Northwest. His former band Sunset Valley was a seminal Portland group and his solo records are always well received. Known for his skill with wordplay, Jolly is relentlessly good at it and w
Backed by a full-time band for the first time since his days leading Portland indie rockers Sunset Valley, Herman Jolly's Bunker Life is the singer/songwriter's most immediately appealing solo release yet. Empathetically backed by bassist Grant Badger and drummer Rob Lloyd alongside occasional keyboard contributions by former bandmate Jeff Saltzmann, Jolly delivers ten songs ranging from the instant-classic indie rocker "1,000,000 Feet Below" to the more delicate ballad "Negative Blues." There's one comparative stinker, an awkward mash-up of Jolly's heartfelt and respectful version of Paul McCartney's "Yesterday" over a trip-hoppy drum and tambourine loop that's interesting to hear maybe once or twice. But when that misstep is immediately followed by the glorious "Glowing Wires," a reverie for overdubbed harmonies, acoustic guitar and twiddly keyboard lines worthy of any late-era XTC album, all is forgiven. Bunker Life shows that sometimes it's good for a bedroom auteur to step outside for a while. ~ Stewart Mason
Additional personnel: Grant Badger (bass instrument); Rob Loyd (drums); Jonathan Drews (cowbells).

Purchase Bunker Life CD To buy, Click on price to add to cart | Rosanne Cash List CD (2009)
Bunker Life album
$14.45 After the dark and chilling themes of 2006's BLACK CADILLAC, which saw Rosanne Cash dealing with the deaths of her mother, Vivian Liberto, her father, Johnny Cash, and her stepmother, June Carter Cash -- all of whom passed within a two-year span -- one might assume that her next project would move into an even deeper level of bleakness, but with THE LIST, it's immediately clear that she has instead found a more measured place to stand. It's a lovely and redemptive outing that looks back to go forward. When Cash turned 18, her father, alarmed that his daughter only knew the songs that were getting played on the radio, gave her a list of what he considered 100 essential American songs; Cash kept that list, and now she's drawn on it for this wonderfully nuanced outing that brims with a kind of redemptive timelessness. THE LIST is a renewal and a testament to life, and it belongs to her father as much as it belongs to her, a beautiful restatement of her father's passions, ...
| | Them Crooked Vultures CD (2009)
Bunker Life CD music
$13.05 Often, supergroups wind up dominated by one particular personality - think Eric Clapton in Derek & the Dominos, Jack White in the Raconteurs -- which makes the egalitarianism of Them Crooked Vultures all the more remarkable. Of course, when it comes down to it, it's a group of three natural-born collaborators: John Paul Jones, the old studio pro who gravitated toward provocative partners after Led Zeppelin's demise, teaming up with R.E.M. as easily as he did with avant-queen Diamanda Galas and nu-folkster Sara Watkins; Dave Grohl, who hopped into an empty drummer's chair whenever the opportunity presented itself; and Josh Homme, who set up a mini-empire based entirely on jam sessions. If Them Crooked ...
| | Avett Brothers I And Love And You CD (2009)
Bunker Life music CDs
$11.25 North Carolina sibling duo the Avett Brothers return in 2009, fresh off a few years of building a cult following for its melodic and rootsy alt-bluegrass sound, with the subdued I AND LOVE AND YOU. The opening single and title track basks in piano-pop splendor in an odd mix of Beach Boys, Byrds, and the Band.
The Avett Brothers continue charting the same musical course as EMOTIONALISM and MIGNONETTE on major-label debut I AND LOVE AND YOU, despite the presence of hands-on producer Rick Ruben. The country-folk duo continue to add elements of pop and hillbilly rock to a country/bluegrass foundation on the 2009 LP, a record with a newfound emphasis on piano and nuanced arrangements. Working with a larger budget allows the group to add small flourishes -- ...
