Editorial Product Review:Album Description:After two records and a Grammy nomination, Tift Merritt took hiatus with a piano in Paris and came home with her best and most personal songs to date. Merritt describes the writing as a plainspoken look at the distance we all attempt to cross: between two people, between one heart and the rest of the world. Another Country Features special guests CHARLIE SEXTON and DOUG PETTIBONE :If the first step brings critical acclaim and the second garners Grammy® consideration, what could be in ...
Editorial Product Review:Album Description:Subtitled Come On Feel The..., Sufjan Stevens & The Michigan Militia have moved to Illinois (dubbing themselves the Illinoisemakers) but this new album is the same Sufjan we know and love. Fingerpicked ballads of delicate twang, tasteful orchestration, and titles that are murder on the ID3 tags. While this album unmistakably owes its inspiration to the sound of Michigan, Sufjan has managed to take his orchestra-like folk template and expand on it, tapping into unexpected genres and bringing unexpected instruments like strings and ...
Editorial Product Review: :The Dixie Chicks aren't old enough to remember when radio programmed pop records next to country, rock, folk, and beyond, but their Texas DNA tells them that's the way music was meant to be heard. On Home, which they coproduced in Austin with Lloyd Maines, the father of lead singer Natalie Maines, they strip off the star-making gloss of Nashville and get down to the meat of the matter, turning out an acoustic record that gives a big Texas howdy to bluegrass. But that's ...

Editorial Product Review: :John Rich, of the smash-hit country duo Big & Rich, calls James Otto The Biggest Voice in Country Music and Otto's new album, Sunset Man, co-produced by Rich, proves why.

Editorial Product Review: :His third album, and arguably his finest, Late for the Sky continues Browne's sincere self-analysis into positively grim territory. The title track concerns the lingering effects of a dead relationship and was featured in Martin Scorcese's film Taxi Driver. While 'For a Dancer' confronts death head-on, 'Farther On' explains the difficulties faced by us dorks who live life through books, films, or music; and 'Before the Deluge' forecasts environmental gloom and doom. Guitarist David Lindley adds terrific counterpoint to Browne's musing, supporting the tracks ...

Acknowledging his debt to these musical traditions but never being overwhelmed by them, Johnny Flynn offers an alternative of substance ...
Editorial Product Review: essential recording:After laboring in Buffalo Springfield and Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, Neil Young finally hit perfect pitch--if his endearing off-center whine can be called 'perfect'--with his third album. He's equally passionate with trippy riddles (has anybody figured out what 'We've got mother nature on the run' means in the title track?) and pointed protest (after 30 years of rock-radio overplay, 'Southern Man' still rings with truth about redneck racism). His creaky ensemble, including pianist Jack Nitzsche and rotating members of Crazy Horse, ...
