SARA BAREILLES

‘Kaleidoscope Heart’ (Epic)

ISOBEL CAMPBELL AND MARK LANEGAN

By Bill Brotherton
The unlikely pairing of nightingale Campbell (ex-Belle & Sebastian warbler) and old crow Lanegan (Screaming Trees) is now three albums strong. Lanegan’s...

HEART

By Bill Brotherton
This classic Seattle band is the all-time best female-fronted outfit - at least the best that doesn’t have Joan Jett or Deborah Harry in its lineup. Ann...

KEM

By Lauren Carter
All hail the return of an r & b singer/songwriter with class. The third album from Kem is aptly-titled, existing in warm, smooth, jazz-infused tones and dealing...

PHILIP SELWAY

By Jed Gottlieb
This is the coolest solo debut from a drummer in a marquee band ever (and we’re not forgetting Ringo’s “Sentimental Journey”). Smartly,...

ISSAC DELGADO

By Larry Katz
On paper, this (mostly) Spanish-language tribute to Nat “King” Cole sounds treacherous. Matching Cole’s easy-listening songs with a Latin...

GOO GOO DOLLS

By Bill Brotherton
Johnny Rzeznik has one of corporate rock’s great voices, a sweet and sour treasure that has helped this band sell millions of records and top the charts....

ESPERANZA SPALDING

By Larry Katz
Spalding’s position as the sweetheart of the jazz world is due to the combination of her youth, striking looks and - most importantly - genuine talent....

IRON MAIDEN

By Jed Gottlieb
If you ignore the occasional bloated opus, Maiden’s latest delivers a small blitzkrieg of riffage, yowls and classic British heavy metal. The lyrics are...

ROY ORBISON

By Jim Sullivan
I saw Orbison’s next-to-last concert. It was in Boston in 1988 at the long-defunct Channel. It was sublime and brought shivers to the spine. He’d...

DAN MANGAN

By Bill Brotherton
This gem of a pop album came out in Canada last year, earning the Vancouver-based singer/songwriter praise and awards. Now, as his first American headlining...
