0ur Review: :Fleetwood Mac's Lindsey Buckingham will release his fifth solo album 'Gift of Screws' on September 15th on Reprise.

Some Mad Hope
»rank: 380
0ur Review: :'Nathanson has offered an album so solid, so addicting, so enduring on repeat listens that it will quickly become the soundtrack of your late summer.' Blogcritics :With rapturous romanticism and over-the-top, heart-on-sleeve emotion, Matt Nathanson can't decide whether he wants to be U2's Bono (particularly on the opening 'Car Crash') or John Mayer (with whom he's toured as an opening act). Though his roots are in the folk coffeehouse, he plainly has his ears aimed toward ...

The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan
»rank: 1216
0ur Review: :Dylan's outstanding second album is a tremendous jump from its predecessor. Whereas the debut established him as a peerless interpreter of folk and country-blues classics, and a singer like none before, this followup features some of the most pungent original songs of the '6Os. 'Blowin' in the Wind,' 'Masters of War,' 'A Hard Rain's A-Gonna Fall,' 'Don't Think Twice, lt's All Right,' 'l Shall Be Free': if this sounds like the lineup for a greatest-hits collection, you've ...

Maestro
»rank: 387
0ur Review: :The mythology of American blues is filled with images of the lone musician standing at the crossroads, caught in that gray area between light and shadow, cutting impossible deals with dark forces, offering up nothing less than his soul as collateral. Composer and multi-instrumentalist Taj Mahal, a two-time GRAMMY® winner and one of the most influential American blues and roots artists of the past half-century, has made no Faustian deals in his long and distinguished career, ...

Bringing It All Back Home
»rank: 1219
0ur Review: :'You sound like you're having a good old time,' a purist Dylan fan is spotted telling the artist in the documentary Don't Look Back just after the release of this, his first (half-)electric album. He certainly does. Updating Chicago blues forms with hilarious, tough lyrics--in fact, all but stealing the meter of Chuck Berry's 'Too Much Monkey Business' for 'Subterranean Homesick Blues'--on one side, dropping some of his most devastating solo acoustic science ('lt's All 0ver Now, ...
