Gregg Rolie - Five Days EP (2011)
Source:
Something Else!
By Nick DeRiso Gregg Rolie, a founding member of Santana and then Journey, is probably best remembered as a tiny speck playing keyboards in sold-out arenas. That makes the intimate, deeply introspective new EP Five Days, recorded live with just piano and vocals, a revelation. Rolie offers a couple of originals, reexamines two of his most memorable vocals from those seminal rock bands, and—in one of the more intriguing moments—takes on the pre-war blues standard “Trouble in Mind," previously a ...

One Track Mind: A Fragile Tomorrow, "I Just Never Said Enough" (2010)
Source:
Something Else!
By Nick DeRiso A Fragile Tomorrow builds out from the country-rock synthesis of pathfinders like the Band and the Byrds, starting with the new-wave attitude and propulsive rhythms of descendent bands like R.E.M. and the dBs. But there's something else, lodged in amidst the brailing mandolin and stamping beat, this heartfelt gravitas. Turns out, this South Carolina-based group is one of those classic five-year overnight success stories. “I Just Never Said Enough," the featured track on “The Song of the ...

Bones and Tones - Bones and Tones (2011)
Source:
Something Else!
By S. Victor Aaron A marimba, a vibraphone, a stand-up bass, percussion and a little kora. A little bit of American jazz, a dash of Caribbean and a side of African folk music, but not quite like any of the three. How sweet the sound. That's the kind of sound coming from this one-of-kind quartet Tones And Bones. A crew heavily steeped in knowledge about percussion type instruments T and B came together for the specific purpose for performing at ...

The Friday Morning Listen: Christine Hayward - Live at E.F. Lane (2009)

Something Else!
By Mark Saleski In the past handful of years, I have jettisoned a few distractions: namely, sports and television, which are sort of related. Rounding out the list is politics. I have decided that, because my thoughts on “the right thing to do" are so far outside of the mainstream, it's just not worth bothering with the daily catfights, arrogant proclamations, and other such buffoonery. I've come to believe that the two-party “system" in the United States is fundamentally broken ...

His voice has the deep timbre of the blues and the gentle spirit of folk. Known together as Brulée, Julie Weiner and Doug Onstad weave a certain kind of magic on their debut album, New Beginnings. On the CD, the Sonoma County duo harmonizes together like two birds in flight, ...
