The Find


The Find


$15.98


Depending on your point of view, The Find is either an album whose ideology and overall vibe are stuck in the ’90s or a new-millennium hip-hop album that bears influence of the foundation while providing an updated spin from a talented artist. The latter sentiment is most accurate. Producer/MC Ohmega Watts and a host (and that means host) of friends make The Find a worthwhile listen for any hip-hop fan. With Watts in control, he takes obvious nods to iconic producers (Pete Rock, Diamond D — he rhymes similar to Large Professor) and the sound of hip-hop’s ’90s renaissance, while rearranging it in his own distinct way. The six-minute “A Request” is an updated ’90s head-nodder with a two-minute rideout that appropriates everything from Souls of Mischief to Gang Starr, with some timpani/cowbell percussion to boot. Ohmega lays down a gritty, strutting groove for “Full Swing” as MCs Neogen and Deacon join him on the mike for an old-fashioned cipher. But even in the midst of a staple track like this, Ohmega manages to finds about 20 seconds in the middle of the tune to do some electronic space traveling. Watts also shows himself a capable and diverse producer, venturing outside the realm of the hip-hop idiom. “Your Love” is a hip-hop/soul vehicle for singer Tiffany Johnson, while “Treasure Hunt” (featuring Sugar Candy) is straight-up authentic dancehall-style reggae. The electric guitar shredding through “Groovin’ on Sunshine” highlights one of his several largely instrumental tracks. The Find is very close to a perfect creative balance between exploration and traditionalism, and an impressive debut from a hip-hop commodity. ~ Vincent Thomas, Rovi Performers: Calton “Solovox” Tietze – Clavinet, Organ (Hammond); Daniel Lamb – Trumpet (Muted), Horn, Trombone; Jason Wells – Horn; Stro The 89th Key – Fender Rhodes, Synthesizer; Barry Hampton – Guitar, Bass; Jason Bringle – Guitar; Ohmega Watts – Keyboard Guitar, Sound Effects, Melodica, Keyboards, Drums, Synthesizer, Organ

The Used


The Used


$34.39


Utah’s the Used sound like a lot of different bands on their self-titled debut album. The sequencing of the disc seems intended to give the early impression that they are a metal band, but as the album goes on the music softens to hard rock and even ballads backed by strings. Similarly, lead singer Bert McCracken starts out howling, but by the third track, “Bulimic,” he is affecting a Perry Farrell-like hoarse delivery, and later on he even sings in a nearly normal voice. (Sometimes, as in the seventh track, “A Box Full of Sharp Objects,” he alternates approaches between verses and chorus.) The musical development mirrors the lyrics, in which McCracken begins with typical expressions of youthful frustration, culminating in the fifth track, “Poetic Tragedy,” written in the third person, which depicts a suicide, but then begins to find satisfaction in romantic attachment to the point on the album’s final credited track, “Pieces Mended” (there is also a hidden track long after the end), that he is proposing marriage. (Along the way, he drops the “F” word casually numerous times, but the album does not contain a parental advisory sticker.) So, The Used has a definite progression, musically and lyrically. But it is also all over the map in terms of musical approach. Some of it could be played on MTV beside Creed and Vertical Horizon, some of it recalls the rage of Fuel, and some goes even further into forbidding metal. That range should give Reprise Records, the band’s label, plenty to work with, but it may confuse potential fans. ~ William Ruhlmann, Rovi Performers: Carmen Daye – Vocals (Background); John Feldmann – Vocals (Background); Bert McCracken – Vocals; Branden Steineckert – Drums, Vocals; Jeph Howard – Vocals, Bass; Joe Howard – Bass, Vocals; Quinn Allman – Guitar, Vocals

The Cars


The Cars


$12.79


The Cars’ 1978 self-titled debut, issued on the Elektra label, is a genuine rock masterpiece. The band jokingly referred to the album as their “true greatest-hits album,” but it’s no exaggeration — all nine tracks are new wave/rock classics, still in rotation on rock radio. Whereas most bands of the late ’70s embraced either punk/new wave or hard rock, the Cars were one of the first bands to do the unthinkable — merge the two styles together. Add to it bandleader/songwriter Ric Ocasek’s supreme pop sensibilities, and you had an album that appealed to new wavers, rockers, and Top 40 fans. One of the most popular new wave songs ever, “Just What I Needed,” is an obvious highlight, as are such familiar hits as “Good Times Roll,” “My Best Friend’s Girl,” and “You’re All I’ve Got Tonight.” But like most consummate rock albums, the lesser-known compositions are just as exhilarating: “Don’t Cha Stop,” “Bye Bye Love,” “All Mixed Up,” and “Moving in Stereo,” the latter featured as an instrumental during a steamy scene in the popular movie Fast Times at Ridgemont High. With flawless performances, songwriting, and production (courtesy of Queen alumni Roy Thomas Baker), the Cars’ debut remains one of rock’s all-time classics. ~ Greg Prato, Rovi Performers: Benjamin Orr – Bass, Vocals; David Robinson – Drums, Vocals; Elliot Easton – Vocals (Background), Vocals, Guitar; Greg Hawkes – Vocals (Background), Saxophone, Keyboards, Percussion, Vocals; Ric Ocasek – Guitar (Rhythm), Vocals, Guitar, Bass

Love Will Find You


Love Will Find You


$9.58


After releasing the ’70s singer/songwriter and folk-pop-influenced album Separated by the Sea in 2007, Findlay Brown seemingly went through a major sea change. On his follow-up album, 2010’s Love Will Find You, the quiet, Simon & Garfunkel-esque arrangements, the subtle arrangements and hushed vocals are all gone. Instead, Brown and producer Bernard Butler go back a decade and delve into early rock & pop sounds. The duo take cues from the dramatic sound of classic Roy Orbison singles, the dramatic productions of Phil Spector, and the dramatic songs of the best Brill Building songwriters. Yes, there is a lot of drama on the record. It’s in the swelling strings that surround Brown’s crooning vocals, it’s in the lyrics, it’s in the song titles (“Nobody Cared,” “Teardrops Lost in the Rain,” “Holding Back the Night”), it’s basically everywhere. Which could have been a problem if that’s all there was to the record, but it’s not. There are enough variations in sounds and tempo to keep things from being a heartbroken slog. The big ballads are balanced by rockabilly rockers (“That’s Right”), a couple fast-paced ballads (“Holding Back the Night,” “All That I Have”), and a pretty brilliant teen idol pastiche (“I Still Want You”). Those big ballads are the heart of the album though, and Brown proves himself to be a master of digging deep into emotion without going overboard, lyrically or vocally. Songs like “Love Will Find You,” “Teardrops Lost in the Rain,” and “I Had a Dream” hit that sweet spot between heartbroken grandeur and very human tenderness that not many singers can reach consistently. That Brown does it so easily here is surprising and pretty wonderful. Credit Butler’s production, too, as he does wonders with the arrangements and sound. Love Will Find You is the record Chris Isaak wishes he could make, the kind of record Richard Hawley used to make, and the kind of record that will appeal to lovers of the kind of ballads Roy used to do. ~ Tim Sendra, Rovi Performers: Dominic Glover – Horn; Jim Hunt – Horn; Melvin Duffy – Pedal Steel; Nicol Thomson – Horn; Victoria Akintola – Vocals (Background); Bernard Butler – Guitar, Keyboards; Drew Manley – Piano; Findlay Brown – Guitar, Keyboards, Percussion; Mako Sakamoto – Drums;

Find Yourself (Then Find Me)


Find Yourself (Then Find Me)


$15.98


After years touring New York and beyond as a session player for plays and visiting artists and on his own enterprises with poetry and performance, as well as time as a school teacher, conga player Eric Frazier here shows off his chops on a solo album. Unfortunately, despite his ability on the conga (and the highly touted praise of Max Roach), he doesn’t play with the power or showcasing of a Mongo Santamaria or Poncho Sanchez and often slips behind his backing band. The music is well-composed, largely throwing back to progressive jazz from the ’70s with influences from soul and funk. Where the congas are lacking in the lineup, luckily, Frazier has some heartfelt, if perhaps a bit thin, vocals. His raps can be a little simplistic, but get an ‘A’ for effort. Not the best album of the year, certainly, but there are plenty worse out there as well. ~ Adam Greenberg, Rovi Performers: Eric Frazier – Conga, Vocals (Background), Vocals, Percussion; Alvin Flythe – Sax (Tenor); Anthony Wonsey – Piano; Danny Mixon – Piano; David Lee Jones – Sax (Alto); Jeremy Pelt – Trumpet; Karen Joseph – Flute; Marguerite Mariama – Vocals; Mike Flythe – Drums;

What They Will Find


What They Will Find


$13.58


Catherine Tuttle kicks off What They Will Find with the bouncy title track, at once establishing herself as a contemporary folk-pop artist in the mode of Sarah McLachlan with a lively performance style. The arrangement, a combo of electric guitar, keyboards, and even, toward the end, strings, is nicely done. It’s an ambitious start, followed by “Free Bird,” which rocks a bit harder. The lyric about a caged bird being set free may be a bit typical, but thanks to the bright production and upfront vocal it never sounds like a New England songwriter beating one over the head with an important lyric. The remainder of the album, while solid enough, doesn’t quite maintain this level. And while What They Will Find has much to recommend it, it doesn’t quite reach the level of the sum of its influences (McLachlan , Tori Amos, and Jonatha Brooke) at their best. Still, the album’s ability to marry singer/songwriter lyrics with a pop sound make the songs very accessible. It doesn’t hurt at all that she’s an expressive singer who doesn’t over-sing. Certain tracks, like “Restless,” too closely resemble her influences (McLachlan in this case), so it’s a relief when Tuttle really cuts loose on a cut like “Vintage Heart.” Fans of any of the above mentioned artists will enjoy watching an artist in the process of finding her own voice on What They Will Find. ~ Ronnie D. Lankford, Jr., Rovi Performers: Antje Duvekot – Vocals (Background); Catherine Tuttle – Fender Rhodes, Vocals (Background), Vocals, Piano; Dave Schonauer – Strings, Synthesizer; Davis A.

Cars: Lightning McQueen's Fast Tracks


Cars: Lightning McQueen’s Fast Tracks


$10.38


Cars: Lightning McQueen’s Fast Tracks features a dozen singalong songs inspired by the Disney/Pixar film. The album is an even mix of covers of classic car tunes and road songs, and original songs written for the collection; while the original versions of “You Can’t Catch Me,” “On the Road Again,” and “I’ve Been Everywhere” would tower over pleasant but relatively faceless tracks like “Hot Rod Hybrid” and “My Wonderful Car,” the slick production values and slight sameness to the arrangements levels the playing field a bit. Highlights include “Black and White Thunderbird” and Gunnar Nelson’s “Rocking Little Roadster.” The album keeps the country and ’50s rock sound of the pop songs used in Cars, so Cars: Lightning McQueen’s Fast Tracks might be a nice road trip soundtrack for families who have been captivated by the movie. ~ Heather Phares, Rovi Performers: Mark Winchester – Slap Bass; Fred Mollin – Banjo, Vocals (Background), Synthesizer, Guitar (Acoustic), Percussion, Guitar (Electric); Gregg Mangiafico – Sampling, Synthesizer; Jim Hoke – Harmonica, Saxophone; Kerry Marx – Banjo, Guitar (Acoustic), Guitar (Electric); Kevin Montgomery – Vocals (Background); Larry Paxton – Bass (Acoustic), Bass (Electric); Lyle Gudmunsen – Vocals (Background);

Find Shelter


Find Shelter


$13.58


As Noah Georgeson has been a key associate of both Joanna Newsom and Devendra Banhart, it’s no surprise that his debut solo album is eccentric singer/songwriter folk-rock, with the accent on the folk rather than the rock. Fortunately, it’s not explicitly reminiscent of either Newsom or Banhart, though there are similarities in the vibe. Instead, it’s slightly wacked out Americana, rather in the mold of a 21st century Lee Hazlewood — a legendary cult figure to whom Georgeson’s wavering cowboy-operatic vocal style will inevitably draw comparisons. Like Hazlewood, Georgeson decorates wistful, plaintive folky songs with grandiose instrumentation and an unsettlingly brooding mix of the down-home and the unfathomably strange. Georgeson’s arrangements certainly have more of an alternative rock (and less of a standard pop) cast, however, whether it’s tinkling percussion, shaky organ, or ghostly synthetic strains. Find Shelter is an interesting and idiosyncratic maiden effort, though it’s unlikely to find as large an audience as Banhart and Newsom have, owing to both the narrowness of Georgeson’s vocal range and the inscrutability of his songwriting. ~ Richie Unterberger, Rovi Performers: Noah Georgeson – Mellotron, Vocals, Organ, Guitar, Piano

The sparseness of the arrangements make this album admirable and draw even more attention to the music both overall and in its subtleties. It showcases brilliantly Bill Stuve’s upright bass work, and for Jimi Bott, how unusually placed but effective drumbeats prove him a blues drummer deserving greater recognition. “Since I Left St. Louis” has MacLeod reflecting on his early adult years of fast life, women, and drinking, and the lessons painfully learned from those experiences. The title track is a realization that making the most out of life is better than a life of abuse, whether it be child abuse, substance abuse, or any other kind. Always a master on the harmonica, Charlie Musselwhite blows on Willie Dixon’s “Bring It On Home” and the MacLeod-penned “Lost Something This Morning.” A great example of Piedmont-style blues is illustrated in “Old Virginia Stomp,” dedicated to mentor Ernest Banks. Backup singers Black Cherry round the album out with the uplifting gospel feel of “Ain’t No Grave,” which tells of the triumph of the afterlife over death. ~ Char Ham, Rovi Performers: Bill Stuve – Bass (Acoustic); Black Cherry – Vocals (Background); Charlie Musselwhite – Harmonica; Doug MacLeod – Vocals, Guitar; Jimi Bott – Drums

Cars in the Grass


Cars in the Grass


$15.18


Cars in the Grass appeared during the veritable onslaught of Stuart Moxham material that surfaced during his brief mid-’90s revival. From the recording notes it appears that this album, like Signal Path, was recorded piecemeal over a period of time, but Cars in the Grass achieves a more consistent sound. The album might be the best of the full-band albums released under Moxham’s name, although the jangly, introverted guitar rock style he adopts here is too bland to be fully satisfying. The melodic “My Criteria” is a highlight, while the ersatz Afro-pop “Night by Night” and vaguely countrified “The Appropriate Response” add some variety. Two of the 11 songs are instrumentals, including the closing track, “Drifting West,” which rewards Young Marble Giants fans with a cheap drum machine rhythm. ~ Greg Adams, Rovi Performers: Andrew Moxham – Drums; Philip Moxham – Bass; Stuart Moxham – Guitar (Rhythm), Keyboards, Percussion, Guitar, Vocals

Like first love (which tends to kick in about the same time), an infatuation with the pop music of one’s adolescence never really fades away, even if it becomes somewhat embarrassing in later years. Having passed the age of 40, Kim Delmhorst indulges her youthful affection on an album that might have been called “A Folkie Tribute to the Cars.” That’s right, Delmhorst was a teenager during the heyday of the new wave band that scored a batch of hits in a decade that stretched from the late ’70s to the late ‘80s. (Coincidentally or not, the surviving members of the band reunited in 2011, made a new album, and went on tour.) If no groundswell to induct the Cars into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame has emerged since, their music remains infectious pop/rock, and Delmhorst demonstrates that here. For the most part, she sticks to the original arrangements, at least in terms of tempo and overall feel, while substituting acoustic instruments, some of them a little silly sounding. (Cars member Greg Hawkes discreetly sits in on ukulele.) She sings the songs with a certain affectionate humor, unabashedly ignoring the gender implications in some of them; she has no problem, for instance, singing, “She’s my best friend’s girl, but she used to be mine.” She does take occasional liberties, such as casting “Magic” as a ballad and giving “Tonight She Comes” a Celtic feel, with accordion and fiddle. In whatever treatment, she and her backup singers and musicians perform spiritedly, making the album more than just a confession of a guilty pleasure. The Cars’ music may still seem like weightless pop, but here it sounds like highly enjoyable weightless pop. ~ William Ruhlmann, Rovi

Find First Light


Find First Light


$19.19


Brotherly are soul-mates Anna Stubbs and Robin Mullarkey, creating soulful beats with finesse, deep cinematic textures with edgy intensity, stirring vocals with purposeful intent. In “Find First Light” which features Sharlene Hector (Basement Jaxx) and Mozez (Zero 7) Brotherly shirk their dancefloor sensibilities and instead create a cohesive long-play experience favouring surging guitars and vital string sections. Fans of Brotherly’s debut album “One Sweet Life” will find familiarity in Anna’s characteristic vocals and Robin’s intricate and unique arrangements. Brotherly were nominated for Gilles Peterson’s Worldwide Session of the Year in 2006 following their acclaimed performance at BBC Maida Vale studios. The Brotherly project is influenced by collaborations with Zero7, Roisin Murphy and Bugz in the Attic.

Following on from his critically-lauded debut “The Submarine”, Whitley returns with stellar follow up, “Go Forth, Find Mammoth”. Written and produced by Whitley, and engineered in a ramshackle studio on the Victorian Coast, the new album pushes the talented songwriter to his limits. This well-realised follow-up picks up where his debut left off in it’s warmth, beauty and intimacy, however it carries a much bolder aspiration. “Go Forth, Find Mammoth” is an engulfing journey filled with flourishes and triumphs. Multiple harmony vocals, strings, pump organ, pedal steel, horns and even a hammer and a bedroom door make up this album’s truly rich and exciting sonic palette. Performers: Daniel Leffler – Sequencing; Luke Gary Boyd Bolton – Synthesizer Bass, Guitar (Bass); James Eccles – Viola; Andrew Reed – Percussion, Drums; Chris Bolton – Vocals; Colin Leadbetter – Vocals, Drums; Hazel Brown – Vocals; Jim Moginie – Clapping, Organ, Vocals; Lawrence Greenwood – Organ (Pump), Hammer, Fender Rhodes, Harmonica, Synthesizer, Drums, Vocals, Keyboards, Violin, Guitar, Piano, Guitar (Steel), Percussion; Naomi Radom – Violin; Rob Hirst – Drums; Ross Irwin – Flugelhorn, Trumpet; Washington Bolton – Vocals

Blessed Are the Trials We Will Find


Blessed Are the Trials We Will Find


$13.58


Whether Tiger Saw’s Dylan Metrano and Juliet Nelson are an item is anyone’s guess, but their band’s hushed, melancholy sound, lovely boy-girl harmonies, and overly ponderous lyrics so clearly recall other slowcore couples like Low’s Alan Sparhawk and Mimi Parker or Ida’s Dan Littleton and Elizabeth Mitchell that romance would seem an inevitable element of the equation. Luckily for Blessed Are the Trials We Will Find, the music isn’t nearly as clunky as the album title — though plainly a product of their influences, Metrano and Nelson possess voices that complement each other beautifully, and the songs’ plaintive melodies and spectral arrangements would do early Low and Ida records proud. If and when Tiger Saw will evolve to create records of comparable beauty and grace as their inspirations remains to be seen, but Blessed Are the Trials is a good start. ~ Jason Ankeny, Rovi Performers: Dylan Metrano – E-Bow, Guitar (Acoustic), Guitar (Baritone), Guitar, Vocals; Juliet Nelson – Cello, Guitar, Vocals; Brian Dunn – Guitar, Guitar (Baritone), Vocals; Colin Rhinesmith – Percussion, Organ; David Michael Curry – Viola, Trumpet; Jacob Trussel – Guitar (Bass); Jacob Trussell – Vocals, Bass; John Ryan Gallagher – Triangle, Melodica, Guitar;

Joy Will Find a Way


Joy Will Find a Way


$12.78


Though it will appeal to the converted, Joy Will Find a Way, Bruce Cockburn’s sixth album, won’t do much to garner support outside of these circles. As always, Cockburn is never less than literate, and his guitar is consistently impressive throughout (check out the instrumental “Skylarking”), but there remains the tendency to become overwrought lyrically, as well as to get bogged down musically in the sort of folkish repetition that can be more tiresome than entrancing. Still, like his previous efforts, Joy Will Find a Way contains the usual handful of scattered gems that keep the faithful coming back. His songwriting and acoustic guitar are once again at the center of economical, tasteful production, which, though grounded in folk, suggest touches of jazz, pop, and world music — all of which are reflected in the feel of much of the material. Songs such as “A Long-Time-Love Song” and “January in the Halifax Airport Lounge,” with its jazz-inflected electric piano, are warm and charming meditations on love, while “Joy Will Find a Way (A Song About Dying)” is built around a hypnotic, Indonesian-inspired arrangement, and “Burn” (the only real social statement here) is a moderately effective indictment of U.S. foreign policy, wrapped in island-flavored, folk-pop. Though he hadn’t quite hit his stride at this point, this is the best of Bruce Cockburn’s first half-dozen albums. ~ Brett Hartenbach, Rovi Performers: Alexa de Wiel – Vocals (Background); Beverley Glenn-Copeland – Vocals (Background); Jeffrey Crelingston – Vocals (Background); Zezi Tado – Vocals (Background); Bruce Cockburn – Dulcimer, Vocals, Guitar (Electric), Guitar (Acoustic); Dennis Pendrith – Bass; Gene Martynec – Guitar; Patrick Godfrey – Keyboards;

Love Is Where You Find It


Love Is Where You Find It


$14.39


Released after This Kind of Lovin’, Love Is Where You Find It finds the group continuing its hitmaking style and boasts the production work of Leon F. Sylvers III and the Solar sound. While the group’s albums were never necessities, like the Temptations or to a lesser extent the Dramatics, the worth of the ballads and dance tracks often made the Whispers worth seeking out. Love Is Where You Find It is no exception. The album’s biggest hits — the polished and kinetic “In the Raw” and “Emergency” — quickly joined the pantheon of Whispers dance classics. The near-brilliant “Turn Me Out” arguably beats them both for sheer sonic value and the witty lyrics. Unlike many of the Whispers’ albums of the time, the ballads here diminish the set. The radio staple “Say Yes” may be too smooth and cloying even for Whispers devotees. Love Is Where You Find It isn’t an especially strong album, but “Turns Me Out” makes it worth looking for. ~ Jason Elias, Rovi Performers: Grady Wilkins – Orchestra Bells, Vocals (Background), Bells, Vibraphone, Keyboards; Roy James – Vocals (Background); The Whispers – Vocals (Background); Victor Feldman – Vocals (Background), Vibraphone; Al Johnson – Vocals (Background), Keyboards; Albert Johnson – Keyboards; Clifford C.
