Electric Arguments
»rank: 90
0ur Review: :Paul McCartney's 2OO8 album with producer Youth. Each track written,recorded and sung in the space of one day with Paul McCartney, playing all instruments.

The Fireman are back after a ten-year break. Electric Arguments is their third and brand new studio album and it's not the ...

Raising Sand
»rank: 38
from: Rounder
0ur Review: :The musical collaboration of the decade, Raising Sand is the sound of two iconic figures stepping out of their respective comfort zones and letting their instincts lead them across a brave new sonic landscape. Despite hailing from distinctly different backgrounds, Alison Krauss and Robert Plant share a maverick spirit and willingness to extend the boundaries of their respective genres. This spirit, expertly honed by producer T Bone Burnett, has resulted in an album pitched three steps ...

Daughtry
»rank: 119
0ur Review: :\N :Chris Daughtry starts his first post-American ldol disc with a song whose title reviewers coast to coast will be grateful for: 'lt's Not 0ver.' What an understatement. For the ldol-watching rock fan's money, nobody--not even Southern-fried heartthrob Bo Bice in season four--stormed the stage with more raw talent. That it translates so well to a solo disc (Daughtry was recorded with studio musicians; future discs will include a Daughtry-assembled band) proves all he needed was ...
