Bob Dylan Christmas In The Heart CD (2009)

On Both My Sleeves album

$10.09

After the initial shock fades, the existence of CHRISTMAS IN THE HEART seems perhaps inevitable. After all, the thing Bob Dylan loves most of all are songs that are handed down from generation to generation, songs that are part of the American fabric, songs so common they never seem to have been written. These are the songs Dylan chooses to sing on CHRISTMAS IN THE HEART, a cheerfully old-fashioned holiday album from its Norman Rockwell-esque cover to its joyous backing vocals. Apart from the breakneck ...

Trans-Siberian Orchestra Night Castle CDs (2009)

On Both My Sleeves CD music

$11.35

NIGHT CASTLE appears just in time for the big 2009 holiday season but don't be fooled: this isn't a Christmas album, even if it's sonically indistinguishable from Trans-Siberian Orchestra's other seasonal releases, and the fact that it's been dubbed "Capra-esque" certainly brings it within the realm of the season. NIGHT CASTLE brims with all the drama, pomp, and circumstance of Trans-Siberian Orchestra's other records but channeling these traits through a newly created narrative does have the ...

Shakira She Wolf CD (2009)

On Both My Sleeves songs

$11.18

Last time around, Shakira touched upon so many styles she couldn't be contained on one album, splitting Oral Fixation in two. This time, she focuses on one sound only: a pulsating electro-disco that crosses all boundaries and welcomes all nationalities. Such concentration behooves Shakira, freeing her to release her inner She Wolf, a wild wacko who's as coo coo as she is carnal. And for as sexy as Shakira is -- crucially, her music is sexy too -- what really gives She Wolf its bite is her inspired nuttiness, how she laments that Matt Damon's not meant for her, and wishes her ex-lover and his new girl a horrible vacation where the room smells and the toilet doesn't flush. "Darling, it is no joke, this is lycanthropy," she sings on the title track with no small trace of humor, and this blend of cheerful weirdness and sick beats -- often supplied by the Neptunes, delivering tough, sensual rhythms in a way they haven't in a long time, but also John Hill and Wyclef Jean -- is giddily addicting, ...

Belin All The Way In CDs (2009) With DVD

On Both My Sleeves album

$13.75

At times, it was hard to figure out whether Berlin were an average synth pop band trying to carve out their own niche or just a mediocre rock band jumping on the new wave bandwagon. Sure, they had some good singles and radio hits, but as an album band, they left a lot to be desired. Terri Nunn was beautiful and sexy, but it seemed like Berlin wanted to be more than just a commercial band with a hot vocalist: they seemed to be striving for greatness but settled for "that'll do." Unfortunately, they never had a chance to really prove themselves, breaking up after their commercially disappointing Count Three & Pray album, released in 1986. Nunn has kept the Berlin name alive over the years, touring with a different group of musicians and playing all the hits while releasing the occasional studio or live album. With a recorded output that seems to dwindle in quality with every release, one might hope ...

Jake Payne What The Folk Is Roots Music? CD (2008)

On Both My Sleeves music CDs

$18.99
It doesn't take much convincing to see that today's pop music has become bland and devoid of life in an age when genuine art has been sacrificed on the altar of commercialism and transformed into a disposable product for the consumption of fickle consumers. And with the recent trend of reducing music to a televised contest spectacle one is reminded of the bumper sticker stating, 'If you're not outraged you're not paying attention.

' Fortunately there are still songwriters and musicians who transcend musical fads with genuine artistry. Enter Oregon native roots music singer/songwriter Jake Payne.

'My music is an expression of my heart and soul, of who I am and what I'm going through.

'And in that simplicity Jake's sincerity shines through, no BS, no posturing, no posing.

'There are so many strings attached to today's music,' Payne says. 'When I turn on the radio and hear what passes for 'country music' it pisses me off. I have no time for it.

'Although Payne's music is not explicitly country his concerns and opinions about that genre stem from the fact that he spent 2003-2005 playing professionally in the musical mecca of Austin, Texas. While playing bass with traditional country songstress Pauline Reese, Payne shared the stage with or opened for the likes of over a dozen country and Texas music luminaries including Tommy Alverson, Kevin Fowler, Merle Haggard, Johnny Lee, The Belamy Brothers, Chris LeDeux, Pat Green, Mike Blakely, Freddy Powers, Rusty Wier and The Derailers.

'Playing music in Texas allowed me to cultivate music and business relationships as well as sharpening my musical skills. It pretty much reinforced the priority that music plays in my life,' Jake says. But in the end he returned to Oregon.

'In life you weigh the pros and cons of your decisions and make choices. I returned to Oregon bandless and broke. I doubted myself all the way back,' he recalled about his journey home.

Ultimately the decision only strengthened Payne's resolve to start from scratch upon returning to Oregon. He invested time and money into developing his own studio thus allowing him the opportunity to pursue his compositions with absolute clarity. Payne set his bass guitars aside, picked up an acoustic six-string and began writing page after page of lyrics and chord structures. He began realizing the freedom to write and record at his discretion giving his works a feeling of genuine reality, the songwriters soul unfettered and true. And ...
