Man of the World
This is not a soundtrack record.
Matt Boynton and Vacation Island
Call it the Robert Louis Stevenson Syndrome . . .
Matthew Sweet
On his first solo record since 2011's Modern Art, Sweet again returns to what he knows best, short, sweet, guitar-pop originals.
Merle Haggard (1937-2016)
The man had conviction.
Miranda Lambert
Yet there are country stars today that know and respect the history and yes…actually have taste.
Modern R&B Beware
A hit abroad but relatively unknown at home. That describes Cheap Trick who I wrote about here recently and also, believe it or not, Otis Redding. He was a big hit in the U.K. and even it seems in Paris before he hit at home with his final single, “(Sittin’ on the) “Dock of the Bay.”
Mon Key Wo Man
In this digital life we’re all now living does it get any better than calling AOL and canceling an account? I hate to be Flashdance about this but—Oh, what a feeling!
Money, it's a gas
Being a sixty year old rock star ain't easy, but there’s gotta be a better way for rock bands to grow old than the one Aerosmith has chosen. A symphony gig? What's next Disneyland on a co-bill with Up With People?
Monk Makes Singles
The whole idea of jazz “singles” seems a little absurd.
Monster Magnet
You know there are days and then there are DAYS. Yesterday I had one of the latter, but music in the end was what saved me.
