Lou Ann Barton
Lou Ann Barton didn't have the best of luck in her early career. Incongruously signed to a major label for 1982's Old Enough, she delivered a fine debut that was utterly out of step with the times. Shunted to a tiny indie in her adopted hometown of Austin, she recorded 1986's oddly poppy Forbidden Tones, an album of John Hiatt and Beatles covers ...

Old Enough
(1982)

by
Lou Ann Barton
The debut album by Austin-based blues-rock singer Lou Ann Barton didn't sound like many major-label releases of 1982. Produced by Atlantic Records veteran Jerry Wexler (with, worryingly, some help from ex-Eagles schlockmeister Glenn Frey) and recorded at the legendary Muscle Shoals Sound Studios, Old Enough is a solid piece of soulful Texas-style ...

by
Original Soundtrack
Luna fans (the most likely audience for this soundtrack to an obscure late-'90s comedy) will come for the otherwise unavailable tracks by their urban guitar heroes, but it's the supplemental assortment of sophisticated European pop that will hold their interest. Luna's swoony cover of John Lennon's "Jealous Guy" is predictably magnificent, and ...

Sweet Soul Queen of New Orleans: The Irma Thomas Collection

by
Irma Thomas
This 23-track collection of early and mid-'60s sides largely duplicates the material on EMI's Time Is on My Side collection, with some additions and subtractions. The EMI set has a very slight edge, although for most listeners either compilation will do the job. It's too bad somebody doesn't take the plunge and issue an 80-minute CD documenting ...

Various Artists
Allen Toussaint is a giant of American popular music, but his work was primarily behind the scenes as a songwriter, producer, arranger, and sessionman. Even as a leader, his songs and recordings became better-known through interpretations and assimilations from such artists as Glen Campbell, Lowell George, and Bonnie Raitt, instead of his darkly ...

Eleni Mandell
Eleni Mandell takes a different approach with this album, offering up a batch of gin-soaked, traditional honky tonk numbers that bring to mind previous singers like Brenda Lee, Connie Francis, and Patsy Cline. The introductory "Another Lonely Heart" has the singer giving a credible performance that nails each tear-at-your-heartstrings note. Greg ...

While plenty of acts in the current nuevo garage universe strive to capture the lean, funky snazz of classic R&B sides, the Detroit Cobras have a different way of going about it than most -- instead of trying to write songs that sound like vintage soul tunes, they just dig up vintage soul tunes you (probably) haven't heard of and infuse 'em ...

This is a good if rather scattershot compilation of early Allen Toussaint productions for various artists, focusing solely on his 1960-65 work, when he was at the helm of the best rock and soul recordings to come out of New Orleans. About half of the 22 tracks are devoted to the most well-known artists in his charge, including a few well-known ...
