| | Angie Heaton Rumor Mill CD Angie Heaton Discography of CDs
Angie Heaton has been bouncing around the Champaign-Urbana indie pop scene for well over a decade, first as a member of a number of minor outfits and later as a sporadic solo artist who has released three prior solo albums since 1996. However, Heaton's The Rumor Mill, her first album in three years and her first with the country trio the Gentle Tamers backing her, is fresh and different enough from her sometimes lackluster previous work that it sounds like a creative rebirth, as if it's her true debut album. Though a rootsy sensibility has always been at the heart of Heaton's aesthetic, The Rumor Mill is a flat out country album. It's barely even alt country: the best tracks here, like the mournful bad-girl-blues "Heaven's State Line," would sound great on mainstream Nashville radio alongside Gretchen Wilson and Miranda Lambert singles. Indeed, if they're smart, Wilson and Lambert will fight among themselves for the right to cover the galloping title track, and will hire lead guitarist Bob Watson to re-create his killer Duane Eddy-like twang guitar hook. However, Heaton allows herself one show of hipster suss, and it's a doozy: taking British twee popsters the Trembling Blue Stars' mournful dirge "Sometimes I Still Feel the Bruise" and turning it into a masterful Tex-Mex border town opera that recalls Calexico and Devotchka on one hand and Roy Orbison on the other is a conceptual masterstroke that's also the most arresting, enchanting song on the album. The Rumor Mill is both a surprising mid-career reboot and the sort of sleeper album that can and should turn up on a lot of end of year best-of lists. ~ Stewart Mason

The marketing department at Warner Brothers must have really wanted to get a jump on the holiday season when they released Faith Hill's 2008 Christmas album, JOY TO THE WORLD, in September. Hill's set of carols and traditional songs may not suit the late summer, but that doesn't make JOY TO THE WORLD any less of a treat. As albums like BREATHE and FIREFLIES proved, Hill has no problem crossing ...

Rumor Mill music CDs
$30.54 
1951 was a breakthrough year for Hank Williams. He had a string of moderate country hits already under his belt, but the release that year of his version of an old jazz age novelty tune called "Lovesick Blues" suddenly made him a big star. It also meant his touring schedule increased, but he still found time that year to slip into Nashville and prerecord shows for the Mother's Best Flour Company. These good-natured and intimate performances were cut to acetate discs and then played over the air on Nashville's WSM radio station. Brittle, disposable, and made for only a few plays, these acetates were then shelved and forgotten until they were ...

Rick Cavender leads two very successful professions. Many know Rick as the familiar face and voice for his family's car dealerships in San Antonio. In fact,the Cavender family has a 65 year history as the leading automotive name in town with 7 successful franchises. Rick is seen often on TV and heard on radio as pitchman for his family's dealershipsBut when the day ends and the stage lights come up, Rick takes his place in the spotlight as a talented band leader and entertainer. The Rick Cavender Band is one of San Antonio's true treasures. This six piece variety band has entertained audiences for over 20 years opening for major country acts and performing for private receptions and events. In 2001, they were voted "Entertainer of Year" by the city's hotel and catering professionals.In 2002, Rick finally took his original work to the studio. After an eight month production at BGM Studios in San Antonio, his work was completed and "Gypsy Vagabond" was released. This album is an original complilation of 15 songs. It presents a visual and musical tour of some of Rick's favorite places and experiences. It is lively and features a variety of musical genres from bluegrass to Cajun to driving rock 'n roll to country waltz. It will entertain you. It will bring a smile to your face and it will live as a favorite in your CD library.Rick sites his musical influences as some of the Americana's best--Delbert McClinton, Robert Earl Keen, Joe Ely, Steve Earl, George Strait and Pat Green. His songs reflect a sense of imagery and a sense of humor. Take a listen to the wonderful wood string instruments on "Sedona" a song which tells the story of a lost traveler who ends up at an American Legion Hall in this beautiful Arizona town. Or drive to Los Angeles for Rick's walk down the "Grand Red Carpet". This song features the Harmonica prowness of Austin's legendary blues man Gary Primige. Then the title song "Gypsy Vagabond" takes us back in time to a early 60's existence and tells the story of the lost country singing troubador trying to find work for his band members in old dance halls. "Prayer in the Wind" begins with the cry of Randy Rinehard's Emmons pedal steel guitar and leads the listener to a new emotion. Rick shows his humor ...

The Lucksmiths' third collection of stray tracks (following 1999's Happy Secret and 2002's Where Were We?) is an epic-length treasure trove of indie pop greatness. Stretching across two discs and spanning 11 years, the Australian trio's back pages show a band unparalleled at delivering emotionally powerful, melodically pleasing pop tunes. The collection gathers up single B-sides, compilation tracks, rarities (like a version of "Hiccup in Your Happiness" cut for a TV appearance and Hydroplane's remix of "I Prefer the Twentieth Century"), and a bunch of interesting covers. They tackle songs by influences like the Smiths ("There Is a Light That Never Goes Out"), the Bee Gees ("I Started a Joke"), and the Modern Lovers ("Dignified and Old") along with friends and contemporaries like the Magnetic Fields ("Deep Sea Diving Suit"), the Cat's Miaow ("Make a Wish"), and the Sugargliders ("Dolly"). This collection is absolutely essential for fans of the ...
