| | Nicole Atkins Neptune City CD Nicole Atkins Discography of CDs
On her 2007 Columbia debut, NEPTUNE CITY, New Jersey-raised/Brooklyn-based singer-songwriter Nicole Atkins offers up a bold, vibrant set of songs that place her in the company of fellow pop eccentrics such as Rufus Wainwright, Fiona Apple, and Keren Ann. With her resonant voice and lush, inventive arrangements, Atkins sounds like an old soul, a point hit home by the jaunty album opener, "Maybe Tonight," and "Brooklyn's on Fire!," a majestic tune bolstered by strings and choir-like vocals.
Personnel: Miranda Gjerstad, Johana Beckman, Minna Wall, Solveig Sandnes, Peter Minorsson, Maria Kohnke, Ulf Turesson, Emil de Waal, Alexandra Hamnede, Andreas Stellan, Mattias Gustavsson (vocals); Jens Lindgard (guitar, sitar, trombone, guitar synthesizer, bass guitar); Dave Hollinghurst (guitar); Tore Johansson (slide guitar, acoustic bass, bass guitar); Filip Runesson (violin, viola, cello); Sven Andersson (flute, saxophone); Peter Lindgard (trumpet, drums, percussion); Martin Gjerstad (piano, spinet, electric piano, organ, reed organ, Mellotron, vibraphone, chimes); Daniel "Shaolun" Chen (electric piano, reed organ, Mellotron); Daniel Mintzer (drums); Korey Mall (percussion).
Rolling Stone (p.85) - 3.5 stars out of 5 -- "Draping her throaty voice over velvety surf-guitar ballads, orchestral studio pop and misty piano-bar melodies...she calls out the bridges, bars and ex-boyfriends she left behind..."
Spin (p.98) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "[The] songwriter cooly distills the romanticism of '60s girl groups into dark, baleful country pop."
Entertainment Weekly (p.63) - "[W]ith percolating percussion, funky bass lines, and romantic filmscore strings. It's heartbreak nearly at its finest -- and most cosmopolitan." -- Grade: B+
Q (Magazine) (p.132) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "Atkins has a big voice and a taste for melodrama informed by Roy Orbison [and] Phil Spector....It all comes together on 'Maybe Tonight' and the title track, an elegy for her ailing hometown."

Neptune City album
 $13.85 
Although Scott McCaughey pays his bills as a loyal R.E.M. sideman, the longtime Young Fresh Fellows frontman's Minus 5 project has allowed him to explore his fundamental pop/rock leanings with colleague Peter Buck on albums like 2001's acclaimed Let the War Against Music Begin. Recorded in tandem with that set, I Don't Know Who I Am -- a limited-edition disc reportedly restricted to a pressing of just 2,000 copies -- is far darker and more experimental, as evidenced by the set launcher, "There Is No Music." Meshing a slide guitar with a brooding lo-fi feel, the song's alt-country leanings uneasily shift into the electronic-tinged "Myrna Loy." While there are contagious moments like "Rooting for the Plague" and the profane singalong "I Don't Want to Fuck ...

Neptune City CD music
$13.45  
Following the success of their self-titled debut, the Ozark Mountain Daredevils' sophomore release, It'll Shine When It Shines, continues on their already established path of California-style country-rock. This release contained what would ultimately prove to be their greatest hit, "Jackie Blue," which ended up peaking at number three on the pop chart. Although "Jackie Blue" is by far the least countrified track ...

The second entry from sui generis singer/songwriter Sufjan Stevens in his absurdly ambitious project to make a record for every state in America outdistances even 2003's superb GREETINGS FROM MICHIGAN in scope and beauty. A sweeping paean to the Lincoln state, ILLINOIS weaves together history, personal confession, and detail-filled scenarios with chamber folk, expansive orchestral ...

Neptune City songs
$13.09
Strictly speaking, this isn't a Grady Martin CD so much as it's a compilation of recordings on which his guitar work as a session player figures prominently, although he's credited as the leader of the featured or backup group on a few of the cuts. Still, on most of these 32 tracks from 1949 to 1956 he was a hired hand, lending his licks to a wealth of hillbilly and rockabilly performers, including stars like Brenda Lee, Little Jimmy Dickens, Red Foley, Burl Ives, Johnny Horton, Wayne Raney, and a pre-fame Buddy Holly. There's even a bit of blues via his help on sides by Cecil Gant, as well as appearances on singles of various styles by a whole bunch of singers known only to collectors. Should you be interested in this material mostly for Martin's contributions, his guitar riffs are certainly excellent whether he's playing country boogie or moving into rock & roll, sometimes reeling off some scorching solos, at others offering more subordinate, sturdy work in service of the particular song. If you've got a wide taste for hillbilly and rockabilly of the period, however, it's a good listen no matter whether you're investigating it for Martin's participation or not. There's much energetic, good-humored music here from the time that country music was becoming more electrified and turning into different forms, ...
