It is a rare artist whose life truly becomes her art.

Abbeygate may have just enough sly punkitude to popularize this anachronistic sound.

The amps and drums rock crazily like a skyline swaying in an earthquake so that everything seems to be threatening to collapse in a heap.

Terms like rock and pop, like lines of longitude, are just artificial constructs, while music itself is all-natural.

A Mofro show is something like a second coming of the Doors.

Laura Vecchione's playful side, combined with the high quality of her songs, makes this soul-splashed country-rock CD a winner.

How did the Eagles, with their perfect (too perfect?) symbiosis of country and rock, come to be the most popular band in America?

Jen Chapin's slithery delivery, pop-inspired melodies and cutting lyrics turn even the homiest sentiment into art.

Erudite and suspenseful, talky and moving, Masterpiece begs for a full production.

Personally, I've had it with edgy. Give me a good song over an intriguing attitude any day.
