USA TODAY - Hear the good stuff that almost got away
With thousands of albums to process each year, USA TODAY's critics inevitably
run out of room to review all the good ones. So before the fall crush begins
next week, we share a few of our favorites from recent months.
Ken Barnes: • Anyone who has the nerve to call his
back-up band the International Jewish Banking Conspiracy would seem to be worth
a listen. Dan Bern's Fleeting Days (* * * ½) is worth
several; his wicked barrage of verbiage is second to none. •Anny Celsi is
similarly clever on Little Black Dress & Other Stories (* * *),
and the music is consistently strong to boot. |
