Cowboy Junkies – One Soul Now (A PopEntertainment.com Music Review)

Cowboy Junkies-One Soul Now (Zoë/Latent) It’s hard to believe that it has been sixteen years since Cowboy Junkies’ second album, the sparse and lovely The Trinity Sessions, became a surprise success and helped to pave the road for alt-country and triple-A radio. That album was recorded live in one night at an abandoned church and mixed blues, … Continue reading

Kylie Minogue – Body Language (A PopEntertainment.com Music Review)

Kylie Minogue – Body Language (Capitol) You don’t get to be a diva for going on twenty years without a little chameleon in you. After a few missteps in the 90s, Kylie Minogue has shown an amazing ability to adapt to the changing styles and subjects of the musical world; reinventing herself again and again so … Continue reading

Britney Spears – In the Zone (A PopEntertainment.com Music Review)

Britney Spears – In the Zone (Jive) I have to admit it. I like Britney Spears. No, before you ask, I am not a teenager. I’m a normal adult guy with, I hope, a wide range of musical tastes. And while yes, I am conscious of Britney’s non-musical qualities… and I’m a fan of those, too… … Continue reading

Liz Phair – Liz Phair (A PopEntertainment.com Music Review)

Liz Phair – Liz Phair (Capitol) Hardcore Liz Phair fans weaned on the spiky likes of Exile From Guyville and Whip-Smart have apparently reacted with disdain towards the latest album from the queen of alt-rock. Well, Liz Phair is definitely a change of direction for the singer, but it’s also her best album yet. On the new album, Liz just seems to … Continue reading

The Bangles – Doll Revolution (A PopEntertainment.com Music Review)

The Bangles – Doll Revolution (Victor-Japan) Thirteen years on since the Bangles broke up… while on top of the charts and top of the world… here comes a reunion album that makes it seem like not a minute has passed since they went away. The group’s jangly-Byrdsy pop-rock feels every bit as palatable today as it … Continue reading

The Flaming Lips – Fight Test (A PopEntertainment.com Music Review)

The Flaming Lips – Fight Test (Warner Brothers) The Flaming Lips have put together a nice, quirky body of work since catching our attention with “She Don’t Like Jelly” a few years ago. This covers-heavy EP is only going to add a footnote to their body of work, though. It starts off rather spectacularly with a … Continue reading

Marshall Crenshaw – What’s In the Bag? (A PopEntertainment.com Music Review)

Marshall Crenshaw – What’s In the Bag? (Razor & Tie) It’s nice to see that over twenty years on from the self-titled debut album which had Marshall Crenshaw anointed the next big thing, Crenshaw is still releasing vital, passionate music.
