It's been almost a quarter century since a youthful, avant-garde band with cut-rate guitars and an impetus for experimental noise burst into the New York underground, and it's very possible that as its 21st record to date, Rather Ripped is also Sonic Youth's most accessible. Familiar are Kim Gordon's distinctive oral tonality and the tangled sheen of guitar dissonance that plays out between Thurston Moore and Lee Ranaldo. But a majority of the dozen songs are as pop-smart as they come, including a pair from Gordon: "Reena," which ranks among her finest, and a pensive pair ("Lights Out" and "Turquoise Boy") that have the 50-plus singer's ethereal voice recalling a street-worn Francoise Hardy. Ever the whiz kid, Moore ponders religious hostility in the meditative "Do You Believe in Rapture"... Less

Four musicians. Eight tracks. Eight microphones. Three opuses. Three days.This is Johnny Dowd's new record, A Drunkard's Masterpiece. The songs, welded and mangled together, fondle every style from metal/weird country (Infidelity/Gargo n vs. the Unicorn) to jazz (Random Thoughts) to instrumental funk (Union of Idiots).'I wanted to do an album that was a combination of variety show and soul revue. In the mix of styles, you can see my take on American music. Also, by running the songs together rather than having silence between them, I was trying to make the album as close as possible to our live show,' says Dowd. 'When we tour in 2008, we will be performing the album in its entirety.'The band, which includes Willie B (drums and bass pedals), Michael Stark (keyboards), and Kim Sherwood-Caso... Less

The steel drum evolved from the tunable tamboo- bamboowood sticks that African slaves in Trinidad used to communicate with one another, and it became an important instrument in Trinidadian Carnival road marches in the late 1930s. With the help of Pete Seeger and Folkways Records, Kim Loy Wong became one of many steel drum artists who brought the sounds of the chromatically pitched instrument from Trinidad to America in the '60s. Using his music to reach out to underprivileged youth, Wong formed the Wiltwyck Steel Band when he became the steel drum instructor at the Wiltwyck School for Boys. Kim Loy Wong and His Wiltwyck Steel Band deftly mixes Trinidadian samba and rhumba styles with popular American songs ranging from gospel to folk, including renditions of "Saints Go Marching In" and...

Kim and Reggie Harris return with the anticipated follow-up to 1999's critically acclaimed "Guide My Feet." The folk duo has worked to create a stunning album of depth, social vision and joyous celebration of the human spirit. "Rock of Ages" has a more contemporary feel than previous Harris CDs, with seven of the songs on the CD written by Reggie. Standout tracks include "Crack in the Wall," about the rise of violence in America, "The Stars that Didn't Shine," about baseball's "Negro Leagues," and the humorous but useful "Passive Restraint," an ode to car seatbelts that was aired on National Public Radio's "Car Talk" program. The Harrises have always featured African-American gospel influences in their music (their best-known CD, "Steal Away: Songs of the Underground Railroad," contained... Less

As longtime songwriters, performers and residents of planet Earth, folk favorites Kim and Reggie Harris have learned the meaning and virtues of simplicity. As they write in the liner notes of this, their latest CD, "In a world that seems to grow more violent and overwhelming with each passing day, this music is, for us, a reminder of one simple truth: we are all connected." Without pretension or elaborate instrumentation, "Simplicity" focuses on the self-evident but hard-to-achieve concept that global peace and understanding are the only means for the human race to survive. The CD’s mixture of original compositions (including "Big, Big World," "Hold On," and a remake of their classic "Spoken in Love"), traditional spirituals ("This Little Light of Mine," "Roll, Jordan, Roll"), and...
