Nickel Creek
Few aspiring bluegrass artists have tackled the genre as unpredictably as Nickel Creek. For their third offering, the precocious trio have ditched longtime producer Alison Krauss in favor of Tony Berg and Eric Valentine (Smash Mouth, Queens of the Stone Age, Good Charlotte), and quietly crafted one of the most explosive acoustic records of the ...

by
The Kingston Trio
The Kingston Trio were the planet's most successful vocal group from 1958 until around 1962, and if they didn't exactly start the urban folk revival, they were instrumental in its sudden accessibility, as labels scrambled to sign up every acoustic player in sight to cash in on the Trio's marketability. This was a group that placed four albums ...

Stereolab
Stereolab's music is so consistent, and so consistently pretty, that it has become nearly criticism-proof; the band do what they do so completely that it's almost a matter of accepting or rejecting their music whole instead of analyzing it. But while Stereolab's mix of '50s and '60s lounge, vintage electronic music, and Krautrock may have crossed ...

George Thorogood & the Destroyers
This live release by George Thorogood & the Destroyers is a good representation of the live show of the band. However, it can be said that in places, the recording seems to fall a bit flat. One of the better sections of the disc, though, is the pairing of "I Drink Alone" with "One Bourbon, One Scotch, One Beer." That combo makes for a hard ...

by
George Thorogood & the Destroyers
The reason they call this budget-priced CD Extended Versions is simple: these are live recordings, most of which have appeared on the various George Thorogood live offerings. It's basically a greatest-hits live album and comes across as a hell of a party record if you dig the Destroyers sound. For the price you simply can't beat it. Thom Jurek, ...

This 16-track collection sweats down Rhino's two-disc anthology to a lean, mean and essential single disc. Here are the earliest recordings that established Hooker as a major blues artist -- "Boogie Chillen," "Hobo Blues," "I'm In the Mood," "Crawlin' Kingsnake," and "Huckle Up Baby" -- and they sound better here than on most other collections, ...

Manhattan Transfer's second Atlantic recording, Coming Out, showcases the talented singers (Tim Hauser, Alan Paul, Janis Siegel, and Laurel Masse) on a strictly pop affair. The only hints of jazz pop up in Siegel's ballad "Scotch and Soda" and a funky version of "Poinciana," on which Michael Brecker has a cameo on soprano. There is a good amount ...

The Kingston Trio
It's easy to rate the group's debut album too low, since its two best-known songs ("Tom Dooley," "Scotch and Soda") have had no shortage of appearances elsewhere in the decades since, and the group went on to cut more than 20 additional albums in their prime years. A little less polished and accomplished than, say, the music that Terry Gilkyson ...

Founded in 1957, the Kingston Trio brought an accessible and commercial face to the emerging folk revival, and while the group was frequently criticized for their complete lack of authenticity in the face of real traditional music, there is no denying that without their frequent presence on the pop charts into the early '60s, the folk revival ...

The first serious compilation of the Kingston Trio's work is broader than any of the various "best of" albums that ever showed up on LP, although it also lacks some important tracks that were on those 12" discs ("Take Her Out of Pity" is especially missed). The Dave Guard era is especially well represented and at the time of this disc's release, ...
