With an album by four performers named Shannon, Gavin, McGoldrick, and Murray, it shouldn't be terribly surprising that Tunes leans toward Celtic music. What is surprising is that each of these performers would be quite capable on his or her own, but as a quartet, together they offer an enticing blend of traditional music. For all of the talent, however, Tunes is a tastefully low-key affair, with the artists, if you will, allowing the jigs and reels to take center stage. The arrangements -- accordion, fiddles, flutes, and guitars -- are quietly integrated, and the individual instrumentals -- both new and old -- weave together as if of one piece. Most of the pieces, like "Billy in the Low Ground," are connected to others (in this case, "Lost Girl"), allowing the material to shift and grow as it progresses, and most run between three and four minutes, not unlike the music one might hear at a country dance. In the end, the album's title perfectly captures the simplicity of this project as well as its success. With great talent and no pretense, Shannon, Gavin, McGoldrick, and Murray have created the kind of music that Celtic folk used to make on their back porches. ~ Ronnie D.

Tunes
 $16.45 
Alice Peacock does not believe in keeping secrets. At least not in the catchy and smart folk-pop songs that are making her one of the hottest new singer-songwriters in the country. In her music, she believes in sharing secrets. “Her songs are very outgoing,” says John Gorka, among the most respected songwriting stars in the folk-pop world, and a confirmed Peacock fan. “I think of what she does as intelligent pop; strong and plain-spoken, but there’s more to it than might meet the ear on first listen. I think she has a real bright future.” In a songwriter world awash in dour troubadours who believe that complexity is a sign of craftsmanship, brooding a sign of depth, and obscurity a symptom of great intellect, Peacock’s invitingly melodic, open-doored and open-hearted songs are hitting people like a burst of clean spring air after a chill and musty winter. Fans leave her shows feeling like they’ve met not only a real artist, but a real person; a friend whose songs they happily hum until they seem as much a part of their own lives as of hers. Peacock says she worries sometimes that her songs are “too simple, that I’m being too sophomoric.” She sighs a moment, then adds brightly, “But then I think of the Beatles 'I Wanna Hold Your Hand,' and how simple that is. And that ...

| | Deep Purple Who Do We Think We Are CD (1973)
Tunes
$18.05  
Deep Purple: Ian Gillan (vocals); Ritchie Blackmore (guitar); Jon Lord (keyboards); Roger Glover (bass); Ian Paice (drums).
All tracks have been digitally remastered.
Deep Purple had kicked off the '70s with a new lineup and a string of brilliant albums that quickly established them (along with fellow British giants Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath) as a major force in the popularization of hard rock and heavy metal. All the while, their reputation as one of the decade's fiercest live units complemented this body of work and earned them almost instant legendary status. But with 1973's disappointing Who Do We Think We Are -- the fourth and final studio outing by the original run of Purple's classic Mark II lineup -- all the fire and inspiration that had made the previous year's Machine Head their greatest triumph mysteriously vanished from sight. Vastly inferior to all three of its famous predecessors, the album revealed an exhausted band clearly splintering at the seams. Except for opener "Woman From Tokyo," which hinted at glories past with its signature Ritchie Blackmore riff, the album's remaining cuts are wildly inconsistent and find the band simply going ...
