On her 2007 debut album, HEADSTRONG, actress/singer Ashley Tisdale, best known for her role in Disney's HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL, presents a highly accessible set of teen-oriented pop. While some dance-centric tracks on the album lean toward R&B ... Full Descriptionand hip-hop (see the propulsive "He Said She Said" and the urgent "Be Good to Me"), straightforward ballads such as "We'll Be Together" shine the spotlight on Tisdale's strong, enthusiastic vocals.
2007 debut album from the actress/singer who emerged from the pack of Disney's "High School Musical" (as well as other Disney productions) to strike out on her own. The set was precluded by the release of her pop hit "He Said, She Said" at the end of 2006.

| | VH1 Presents The Corrs Live In Dublin CD (2002)
Headstrong CD music
$9.55 This audio document of The Corrs' Dublin homecoming concert has pretty much everything fans of Irish pop could wish for, including an appearance from Bono in his earthly incarnation, fresh from an audience with President George W. Bush. It's to the band's credit that the charismatic singer fails to steal the show, despite creditable efforts via an anthemized version of Ryan Adams' beautifully downtempo "When the Stars Go Blue," and a great, leering rendition of Lee Hazlewood and Nancy Sinatra's "Summer Wine."
Somewhat more mysteriously, Rolling Stone Ron Wood also turns up on what sounds dangerously close to a lounge version of Jimi Hendrix's "Little Wing," but this minor faux pas is redeemed by the Irish folk medley "Joy of Life/Trout in the Bath" which arguably features more full-on Irishness than the Dublin production of RIVERDANCE. There's also a lovely rendition of Neil Young's "Only Love Can Break Your Heart" that's topped only by Ron Wood's reappearance on a finale of the Stones' "Ruby Tuesday." VH1 PRESENTS THE CORRS LIVE IN DUBLIN is a fine mix of the band's greatest hits with a few well-chosen covers, which will doubtless reach out to new fans and longtime Corrs aficionados alike.
Recorded at Ardmore Studios in Dublin, Ireland in January 2002.
The Corrs: Jim Corr (vocals, guitar, keyboards); Sharon Corr (vocals, violin); Andrea Corr (vocals, tin whistle); Caroline Corr (vocals, drums, bodhran, percussion).

| | M*A*S*H DVD (1970) Widescreen
Headstrong album
$10.39 With the release of Robert Altman's M*A*S*H in 1970, a new form of comedy was born, one that would help to forever change the face of cinema. Altman's audacious film reflected the American counterculture's growing distrust of religion and government in the late 1960s and early 1970s, resulting in one of the biggest box office smashes of its time. Introducing the techniques he would employ throughout his storied career--overlapping dialogue, a constantly moving camera with a heavy amount of zooming, and a bold combination of frank subject matter with cynical humor--Altman immediately vaulted himself to Hollywood's upper ranks. Based on the novel by Richard Hooker, M*A*S*H follows a group of Mobile Army Surgical Hospital officers as they perform surgery and pass the time just miles from the front lines of the Korean conflict. Led by sardonic captains "Hawkeye" Pierce (Donald Sutherland) and "Trapper" John McIntyre (Elliott Gould), the film has the feel of an absurd three-ring circus. Other characters include the uptight nurse "Hot Lips" O'Houlihan (Sally Kellerman), the confused Major Frank Burns (Robert Duvall), the troubled Captain "Painless" Waldowski (John Shuck), and the simpleminded Captain "Duke" Forrest (Tom Skerritt). Altman's decision to present his film as a series of loosely connected vignettes rather than a traditionally unfolding narrative perfectly captures the freewheeling spirit so unique to early-'70s cinema.

| | Dredg Catch Without Arms CD (2005)
Headstrong CD music
$7.69 Early on, critics often described Dredg as a metal group. However, the quartet has since matured into a hard-edged indie-rock ensemble that seeks diversity and refinement in its music. On CATCH WITHOUT ARMS, the band favors highly orchestrated parts, dense guitar riffs, and powerful drumming. Each song is based around memorable vocal hooks and sensitive lyrical content.
Many tracks on CATCH WITHOUT ARMS have a searching quality to them. Despite the sheer force of the music, this release is ultimately marked by well constructed melodies and intriguing harmonic underpinnings. This is due in part to singer Gavin Hayes, who sounds more like U2's Bono than a metal screecher. Hayes's tenor soars above tunes such as "Ode To the Sun" and the title track. "Hungover On a Tuesday" contains another towering vocal, which moves effortlessly over Mark Engles's syncopated guitar. Finally, "Matroska (The Ornament)" brims with deep emotion; it also has an infectious, even danceable, groove. If CATCH WITHOUT ARMS shows a young band that still has much more in store for its listeners.

| | Dave Van Ronk Somebody Else, Not Me CD (1969)
Headstrong songs
$14.29 Originally released in 1969 but out of print for years before being reissued in 1999, SOMEBODY ELSE, NOT ME is one of Dave Van Ronk's most satisfying and artistically fruitful albums. The overall theme, as implied in the haunting, part-spoken title track, is history and its influences. Van Ronk has always been best known as an interpreter of other people's songs. In this collection, he covers songs by two of his contemporaries, Tom Paxton and Bob Dylan, that are tributes to artists who were influential on Paxton, Dylan, and Van Ronk. Paxton's "Did You Hear John Hurt" and Dylan's "Song For Woody" sound more universal and somehow even more personal in Van Ronk's exquisite interpretations. Elsewhere, Van Ronk covers Scott Joplin's "The Entertainer," Brownie McGhee's "Sportin' Life," and offers an astonishing, angry rendition of Woody Guthrie's "Pastures of Plenty" that's among his finest performances ever.
Includes liner notes by Elijah Wald.
