Music

Aaron Lee Tasman's 'Get Over it Underdog' is a Daliesque mirror view of today’s world. An album for our times.

Everything here sounds worthy of the Stones, probably in no small part because it sounds as if they’re still having fun making music. If this is their coda, it's a good one.

The players showed consummate skill in Beethoven's final string quartet and virtuosic enthusiasm in new music from Jeff Scott.

Members of the Cyrkle, a group best known for the 1966 smash hit "Red Rubber Ball," deliver new music half a century later. Plus, reviews of CDs from C. Gibbs and Ray Campi.

Rush in high fidelity, Matt B with the London Phil, dancing with DJ Danny Trance, chill string trios, and more.

Sad Daddy includes Melissa Carper and might sometimes remind you of Dan Hicks and His Hot Licks. The band favors acoustic instruments and playful music.

Have the Stones, Madonna, and Jack White still got what it takes? Can Ariana Grande defy gravity? And can Collective Soul ride a new wave?

With his trademark down-home suavity and languid silly-putty phrasing, Lovett alternated songs funny and sincere, soulful and jazzy, bluesy and country (and novelty).

'Both Sides Now' takes the listener on a silken journey through classics by Joni Mitchell, Michel Legrand, Cole Porter and more.

In the music on composer David Bird's new album, the hardness and coldness of actual metal seem almost literally audible.
