Olivia Newton-John-2 (Festival/Mushroom) Lately in Europe, there have been several slightly-past-their-prime artists who have done all-duets projects to show that they still have some hipster cred. Probably the best of these was Tom Jones’ Reload, in which he proved he could get the kids like Barenaked Ladies, Robbie Williams, Natalie Imbruglia and the Pretenders on board, and … Continue reading →

Posted on by • Leave a comment

Elton John – Greatest Hits 1970-2002 (Mercury) From 1970 to 1977 Elton John had an almost unprecedented run of musical brilliance, during that time his work with lyricist Bernie Taupin rivaled the work of Lennon and McCartney and Brian Wilson.  In this short bridge of time, John recorded about two very good albums a year … Continue reading →

Vanessa Paradis – Au Zenith (Barclay/Universal-France) In the United States, Vanessa Paradis is probably best known as Johnny Depp’s live-in girlfriend. Other people may know her as the Chanel model or an actress.

Shania Twain – Up! (A PopEntertainment.com Music Review)

Posted on by • Leave a comment

Shania Twain – Up! (Mercury) Never in my life have I seen so many exclamation points as there are in the song listing for Shania Twain’s latest. There are nineteen song titles on Up! and ten exclamation points. It’s almost like a teenaged girl’s diary.  Now Shania has a long history of unwieldy titles anyway, and this album’s … Continue reading →

Axelle Red – Alive (Virgin-France) I might have never heard of Axelle Red if I weren’t channel surfing one August night last year in the Sofitel Méditerranée in Cannes. With my admittedly rudimentary skills in the French language, I was looking for something, frankly, which I could understand.  That’s when I stumbled upon an hour-long interview … Continue reading →

Posted on by • Leave a comment

Rod Stewart – It Had To Be You: The Great American Songbook (J Records) With this album, Rod Stewart gives up any pretense of trying to hold onto his rock and soul following. And that’s fine, he’s well into his late 50s now and rock and roll is supposed to be a young man’s game. He really … Continue reading →
