Editorial Product Review: :There's an old quote of St. Theresa's that goes something like, 'More tears are shed over answered prayers than those that remain unanswered.' In other words, be careful what you wish for--you just might get it. Don McLean, like any other singer-songwriter, no doubt wanted a hit, or some degree of success. 'American Pie' gave him that and more. McLean's ode to Buddy Holly began with a folky intro that sounded like a protest song. Almost nine minutes ...
Editorial Product Review: :Since the breathtaking purity of her debut, Living with Ghosts, Patty Griffin has proven she can luxuriate in glamorous pop, rock like a biker, hold her own on stage with the Dixie Chicks, and write hit songs and singer-songwriter classics. What she hadn't done is craft an album as wholly exquisite and emotional as her talent. With the spare, acoustic 1000 Kisses, she has done just that. In the basement of longtime guitarist Doug Lancio's Nashville home, Griffin ...
Editorial Product Review: essential recording:Emmylou Harris's formula has been to match a crack crew of left-of-center country players with an assortment of tasteful tunes and head into the studio with a nonintrusive producer. Now and then (most notably the 1980 bluegrass collection Roses in the Snow), she tampers with her basic blueprint and comes up with something exceptional. Wrecking Ball is one of those. Daniel Lanois's radiant production no longer seems as fresh as it did on albums by U2, ...

Editorial Product Review:Album Details:Classic Fairport Convention Album from 1969, Remastered and Includes Two Bonus Tracks: Alternate Versions of 'sir Patrick Spens' and 'quiet Joys of Brotherhood'. essential recording:British hippies who started out emulating Jefferson Airplane, Fairport Convention escalated their homeland connections with each outing, culminating in this, their fourth album and a watershed for British folk-rock. Hindsight offers the ironic possibility that the Dylan covers of its predecessor, Unhalfbricking, opened a window onto the earlier Irish-English-Scots roots of the ...

Editorial Product Review: :Naming Led Zeppelin, Tina Turner, and Joe Cocker as primary influences, Cotton not only sings with a tone that's warm, buttery, and sexual, she pierces the sky with rock shouts, screams, and cries. Danielia is a force of nature to be reckoned with, and the sheer joy and pain she evokes in her songs draws the listener in instantly and completely. Not unlike male rock counterparts Jimi Hendrix and Sly Stone or crossover icons Mavis Staples and ...
Editorial Product Review:Album Description:The fourth solo excursion from acclaimed singer-songwriter-guitarist Mark Knopfler, Shangri-La is perhaps his most rocking album since his halcyon days in Dire Straits. A four- time Grammy winner who has sold some 110 million albums worldwide with that group and solo — and whose signature guitar sound, instantly recognizable vocals and smart lyrics have made him one of rock's most admired artists — Knopfler offers an idyllic earthly refuge for the sophisticated rock fan with Shangri-La. :Mark ...
On paper, the Mio DigiWalker P550 looks to be an attractive gadget for the mobile professional, combining the capabilities of a PDA and GPS into one device. However, its poor battery life and subpar navigation skills tell a different story.
Though it won't appeal to the masses quite yet, the Nokia N800 Internet Tablet is a nice, portable device for on-the-go Web browsing, and it has some worthy upgrades.
