For those who thought that Brant Bjork may have used up all his cards with the 2005 double-disc set Saved by Magic, his follow-up set, 2007's single-disc Somera Sól, shows that there is never a shortage of '70s déjà vu tunes for the man with the goatee and seemingly endless curls of hair. Once again, an album of groovy yet laid-back ditties comparable to the likes of Jimi Hendrix and El Chicano is offered up, and fans will notice the inclusion of "Ultimate Kickback," a track that Bjork has been playing live for several years but never got around to documenting in a studio until now. And like many artists who look to the '70s for inspiration, Bjork focuses on jam-heavy material at times, but unlike the others, it's not indulgent or meandering (to his credit), a case in point being the track "Oblivion." If artists such as Lenny Kravitz and the Black Crowes are at the top of the class for re-creating vintage '70s rock sounds, then Brant Bjork is certainly not far behind -- as evidenced by Somera Sól. ~ Greg Prato

Includes the complete PITCHFORK 7" EP (1991) and rare bonus tracks.
Pitchfork & Lost Needles includes Clutch's debut 7" in its four-song entirety and augments that with unreleased tracks and demo versions. As this set proves, the veteran quartet began as a band crouched between the Melvins, a viscous form of hardcore (think a slower, more economic Sick of It All), and the literate but still loud post-punk of Jawbox. "Wicker" is in blistering half-time, its layers of needling guitars and Neil Fallon's yawping proclamations ("Pacemaker! LIFE TAKER!") skinned to their barest, most powerful essence. "Arcadia" is three minutes of stocky thud, the sort of thing flannel-shirted bullies would ...
| | Chris Robinson Brothers Of A Feather: Live At The Roxy CD (2007)
Somera Sol album
$10.99 
After a long hiatus that lasted for much of the first half of the 2000s, Chris and Rich Robinson started to reunite the Black Crowes in 2005, but before the full-fledged reunion really took flight, the siblings took off on a 2006 tour billed as Brothers of a Feather, releasing an album of the same name the following summer. Compiled of highlights from their three-night stint at the Roxy in Los Angeles, Brothers of a Feather does distinguish itself from the growing list of official live Black Crowes-related projects just by its intimate nature: hearing the brothers Robinson alone (it's not quite acoustic, since Rich often plays an otherwise unadorned electric) is unique and surprisingly revelatory, illustrating that both Chris and ...

A tradition had developed whereby every November since they first broke onto the scene, Westlife, one of the most successful boy bands ever, would release a new album and it would stay on the market, selling well though December, the most profitable time of year. Indeed, they sold well enough in most years to have the number one album, an achievement they had accomplished in 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, and 2005, only missing out in 2004 with the Allow Us to Be Frank swing album, which had probably been too similar to the Robbie Williams Swing When You're Winning project, even for them. They had also missed out with their first album, Westlife, in their breakthrough year of 1999. Now in 2006, Westlife released their seventh album, playing it safe again with a collection of standard well-known love songs and ballads (they rarely did anything else) called The Love Album, which went on to become their fifth number one. There was a swagger and a confidence about Westlife, and also their record company, regarding the timing of their releases. Nobody was going to stand in their way. Having beaten off the Spice Girls' comeback album in 2000 for first-week sales, they were not frightened of any other label or artist stopping them from easily achieving a number one. In 2006, the competition was easily the strongest yet with albums by Oasis, U2, and even the Beatles, all released in the same week. No problem. With a fan base as loyal as theirs, they knew they had the number one position sewn up, and so it proved to be the case, admittedly only for one week, when the group that preceded them in teenage girls hearts, Take That, took over at the top with Beautiful World, their comeback masterpiece.
There were millions of songs that could have been chosen for an album project with two criteria -- they had to be love songs and ballads -- and Westlife, their management, and record company should be commended for not choosing the most obvious. Sure, there were versions of "All Out of Love" (which they performed with Delta Goodrem), "Have You Ever Been in Love," and "You've Lost That Loving Feeling" (a welcome change from the overused "Unchained Melody," which almost all of the Pop Idol and X Factor wannabes chose to perform). They also included Bette Midler's "The Rose," Bonnie Tyler's "Total Eclipse of the Heart," and the Commodores' "Easy," all sung with not too much variation from the originals, but just enough to stamp that Westlife sound onto them. They also chose more unusual tracks: ...
