How Do You Do $10.13 When your debut album is released on the taste-making underground label Stones Throw and declared fantastic by both John Mayer and Kanye West, you’re unbelievably cool and completely under the microscope. Such is the story of Mayer Hawthorne, the Ann Arbor, Michigan resident who early on did a lot of hip-hop things and such, but for the purposes of his second album and debut for the major label Universal, he’s the neo-soul singer with a gifted voice who uncannily sounds like a ‘60s-era Temptation given the 2011 ability to drop an F-bomb. That may sound like Cee Lo Green, and there’s no doubt that How Do You Do stands in the shadow the Goodie Mob member who got there first, but this particular bespectacled singer looks like a Wall Street intern, making his Motown jones all the more unexpected, and for some, suspect. On top of it, he retains a crate-crawling nerd’s love of nostalgic soul that’s very Stones Throw, so expect some overly authentic numbers where the adherence to an aesthetic is an arguable obstacle. That said, it’s a testament to Hawthorne’s songwriting ability that this wall is easily scaled after one or two listens, and that the man sounds more natural and loose than on his debut might be this album’s greatest asset, making the vulgar drops and other nods to the present feel less mannered than before. New avenues are explored as Snoop Dogg is invited to croon, not rap, on the almost Timberlake “Can’t Stop,” while the jaunty, finger-popping “Dreaming” offers a well-written, surreal vision of the world coming to an end, challenging stuff and well executed within Hawthorne’s retro rules as well. When you add “The Walk” as his greatest songwriting achievement to date, a loving anthem for Detroit called “A Long Time,” plus a bunch of crowd-pleasing moves that come straight out of the Hitsville USA rule book, it’s easy to stop being befuddled by Hawthorne’s love letter to the past and start craving it. ~ David Jeffries, Rovi Performers: Jamall Bufford – Finger Snaps; Rebecca Bowman – Finger Snaps; Jeffrey Klein – Handclapping; Kenza Chaouai – Handclapping; Roman Gianarthur – Strings; Stephen Kaye – Strings; Christian Wunderlich – Guitar; David Moyer – Saxophone, Sax (Baritone); Dennis Coffey – Guitar; |

Ex Hex $10.38 Mary Timony’s first two solo albums, Mountains and The Golden Dove, had a mystical, fairy-folk bent that was intriguing (and also presaged the popularity of similarly inspired acts like Faun Fables, Joanna Newsom, and White Magic) but also puzzling to fans of her work with Helium and Autoclave. After moving house, both personally (back to her old haunt, Washington, D.C.) and musically (to Lookout! Records), she returns with Ex Hex, a more straightforward but still delicate collection of songs that sound like exorcisms of past situations and relationships. Even though the album is on a label usually associated with punk and shows off Timony’s impressive electric guitar skills, it’s not as much of a return to rock as might be expected. To be sure, “On the Floor” — a great kiss-off to a lazy (soon to be ex-) boyfriend — and “Friend to JC” kick-start Ex Hex with a one-two rock punch, but the dark, electric piano-driven “Silence” is nearly as winding and expansive as anything that appeared on Timony’s first two solo albums. Whether she surrounds her voice and melodies with guitar, bass, and drums or more exotic instruments, her approach is still distinctive (and remarkably consistent over her career): “W.O.W.” and “Harmony” glide along on the hypnotic, vaguely Eastern-sounding guitar work that has become one of Timony’s trademark sounds, while “In the Grass”‘s drum machines and layers of acoustic and electric piano recall Magic City’s mix of hard-hitting rock and ethereal keyboards. And, as always, her lyrics are formidable: lines like “Return to Pirates”‘ “You are the universal hate within us all” serve as reminders that it’s probably not a good idea to get on Timony’s bad side. More often than on some of her recent work, Ex Hex’s music matches Timony’s barbed words. “9×3″ is a fast punchy song that could be about the mean girls in high school (or after graduation, for that matter). “Hard Times Are Hard!” and “Backwards/Forwards” are some of the most straightforward rock songs Timony has ever written, though they’re far from predictable. Ex Hex can’t really be called a return to form because Timony never lost it in the first place, but it’s probably the most immediately appealing album in her solo career for Helium fans who missed that band’s bite on her other albums. ~ Heather Phares, Rovi Performers: Devin Ocampo – Drums, Bass; Mary Timony – Vocals, Guitar, Keyboards |

Get Back $11.98 It should be an easy story to tell: vaunted rap group loses the producer who made them a quality act, then slowly sinks back into the underground, never to be heard from again. From Get Back, it’s clear that Little Brother didn’t mind the loss of 9th Wonder and decided to rewrite the script. Not only do Phonte and Pooh sound like nothing has changed, in point of fact they sound more energized and engaged than ever before. They’ve got more to say and more intriguing ways to say it, including touches like fronting a flashy production worthy of Bad Boy for the anti-materialist “Good Clothes,” inviting Lil Wayne for “Breakin My Heart” (where he reliably blows your mind with line after line, like “I don’t want a broken heart because I lose the pieces”), and floating an utterly hilarious exposé of late-night hook-ups (“After the Party”). Instead of the usual rap record circa 2007, where dozens of lines go by with no reason to pay particular attention besides technical ability, it’s difficult not to hang on every line here from Phonte and Pooh. And for those worried about the production quality with 9th Wonder’s departure, it may have actually improved with the work of Illmind and Khrysis, among others (9th Wonder appears once, on the Lil Wayne feature). It’s one of the most refreshing hip-hop records of 2007, one where you can rely on rappers to talk intelligently and rap fluidly about important subjects, know what to treat seriously and what to treat humorously, put up great productions, and really care about what they’re saying. ~ John Bush, Rovi Performers: Zo! – Various; Carlitta Durand – Rap; Darien Brockington – Rap; Dion – Rap; Jozeemo – Rap; Lil Wayne – Rap; Khrysis – Guitar (Bass); Phonte – Vocals (Background), Vocals; Pooh – Vocals; Sheldon Williams – Keyboards; |

Do You Swing? $11.02 Some folks like to say that history is cyclical, and it certainly supports this theory that just as a bunch of young bucks have (once again) come along to say that rock & roll is getting stale and needs a good dose of high attitude and fuzz-tone energy, the Fleshtones — who’ve been saying the same thing since 1977 — have re-emerged to remind the world how this whole “super rock” thing is supposed to be done. Maybe they don’t dress quite as sharp as the Hives, or pose as well as the Strokes, or get worshiped by the British press quite like the White Stripes, but one spin of the Fleshtones’ 2003 platter Do You Swing? proves that if you wanna get a rock & roll dance party started, Peter Zaremba and company are still your finest one-stop shopping place. And perhaps having some fresh competition (not to mention facing the fear of being outclassed by bands fronted by guys who weren’t even alive when the Fleshtones played their first gigs) has been just what these folks have needed, because Do You Swing? is one of the strongest Fleshtones albums to date, boasting material every bit as potent as what they served up on Roman Gods and Hexbreaker, and sounding fresh, energetic, and gloriously alive. Rick Miller from Southern Culture on the Skids produced Do You Swing? at his home studio, and the results have a bright, punchy sound that never gets in the way of the reverb and/or fuzz, and the vibe is at once loose and perfectly focused. And from the Swingin’ Medallions-esque “I’m Back Again,” the R&B-flavored “Hard Lovin’ Man,” the tribute to rock’s greatest chord changes, “1-4-5,” and their ode to living in one of Brooklyn’s least-gentrified neighborhoods, “Destination Greenpoint,” the Fleshtones have come up with a batch of top-shelf songs that show them to their advantage. It would be silly to say the Fleshtones are back, since they never went away, but after 26 years in the game, Do You Swing? shows they’ve still got the rock — and if anything, they’re getting better at serving it up. Pour yourself a Blue Whale and check this disc out pronto. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi Performers: Cousin Crispy – Wurlitzer; Peter Zaremba – Harmonica, Vocals, Organ; Bill Milhizer – Vocals (Background), Percussion, Drums; Keith Streng – Guitar, Vocals; Ken Fox – Vocals (Background), Bass; Peter Lamb – Saxophone |

How Do You Like It? $12.28 Gerry & the Pacemakers’ debut album, produced by George Martin and Ron Richards, is representative of the mainstream Liverpool sound beyond the Beatles, circa 1963. Gerry & the Pacemakers based their music around American R&B ballads, coupled with a delight in straight-ahead rock & roll and country music with a beat, in a manner similar to the Beatles. Gerry Marsden was a fairly powerful singer and a more natural (but not necessarily better) rock & roll guitarist than George Harrison, as revealed by his crunchy playing on numbers like “A Shot of Rhythm and Blues,” “Jambalaya,” and “The Wrong Yo-Yo,” and his lively solo on “Maybelline” — the problem was that neither he nor the rest of the band could match the Beatles for style. Drummer Freddie Marsden, despite much quicker hands, wasn’t nearly as distinctive as Ringo Starr, and Les Chadwick’s bass work was weighty, but not a third as interesting as Paul McCartney’s, and Gerry’s singing never came close to Paul’s. When you add in the fact that their in-house songwriting was almost non-existent here, and their backing harmony vocals were a shadow of what the Beatles could produce, the result is a more limited quantity; How Do You Like It isn’t as good an album as Please Please Me or With the Beatles, but it also reveals a band that was already 85-percent as interesting and complex as it was ever going to be. On the other hand, the group does rock out, which is all they really ever set out to do, and on those terms they’re pretty engaging — their covers of Hank Williams’ “Jambalaya,” Larry Williams’ “Slow Down” and the Piano Red/Carl Perkins number “The Wrong Yo-Yo” are more than a little diverting, good examples of the classic, thumping Liverpool sound. Their version of the Arthur Alexander number “Where Have You Been” is moving and passionate, if not as well sung as the Searchers’ rendition. And as the T.A.M.I. Show revealed, Chuck Berry didn’t mind jamming with Marsden on “Maybellene.” The 1997 EMI 100th Anniversary edition, remastered in 20-bit digital sound, is close and loud, and features both the stereo and mono versions of the album — the mono version is punchier and more enveloping, but the stereo has its virtues, separating the voices and instruments binaurally, as was the custom in those days, which allows the listener to pick them apart, if anyone wants to analyze Gerry’s guitar, Marsden’s drumming, or Les Maguire’s piano playing that closely; it’s a reminder of what EMI is not permitting us to do with the Beatles’ first two albums and early singles. ~ Bruce Eder, Rovi Performers: Freddie Marsden – Drums; Gerry Marsden – Guitar, Vocals; Les Chadwick – Piano; Les Maguire |

Retaliation, Revenge and Get Back $38.39 Come the spring of 1998, Death Row was a mighty lonely place. Dr. Dre had been gone for nearly two years, Snoop Dogg enlisted in the No Limit army, 2pac was dead, Suge was in jail. Only Dat Nigga Daz — now known as Daz Dillinger — remained, and he was determined to keep the Death Row torch burning with his first solo album, Retaliation, Revenge and Get Back. It’s a bit better than tha Dogg Pound’s disappointing 1995 effort Dogg Food, but it finds Daz in an awkward position. He does what he does — namely, G-funk — well, but in 1998 G-funk is an anachronism. True, Master P built upon the G-funk sound (no matter how much he would like to deny it), but his stripped-down, cheap productions are the sound of the late ’90s — the loping beats and whiny synths of G-funk belong to the early ’90s. And that’s where Daz is stuck, no matter how you look at it. If you look past that, however, Retaliation, Revenge and Get Back is a solid record that delivers exactly what it promises — straight-up gangsta rap, nothing more and nothing less. There are no surprises, but few albums since Doggystyle have given the G-funk audience exactly what they want as Retaliation does. By that standard, Daz’s debut is a success. ~ Leo Stanley, Rovi Performers: BoRoc – Vocals (Background); Butch – Vocals (Background); C.J. Mack – Vocals (Background); Kevin “K.V.” Varnado – Vocals (Background); Carl “Butch” Small – Percussion; Daz Dillinger – Scratching, Multi Instruments, Vocals (Background), Keyboards; Marlon Williams – Guitar; Priest Brooks – Keyboards; Ricky Rou |

How Big Can You Get?: The Music of Cab Calloway $19.98 Big Bad Voodoo Daddy’s reputation as a pop star styled retro-jazz band has to be enhanced and authenticated by this homage to the leading commercial proponent of jump, jive, and wailing swing in the ’30s and ’40s, Cab Calloway. The band, with its solid horn section and half-crazed vocal cops channeled through the Hi-De-Ho Man by Scotty Morris is faithful to the core from the originals. Though the band does not do all of Calloway’s big hits (missing are “Viper’s Drag,” “St. Louis Blues,” and “Kickin’ the Gong Around,” among many others), their selection of tunes is a delightful mix of favorites and some zingers, all well done in the style that made Calloway both revered and in some circles reviled. His overly dramatic songs are avoided, and fun is the operative word for these tunes that still are good to hear. Among the true blue covers: the definitive shuffle “Calloway Boogie” with the animated vocals of Morris, the energetic and stoned “Reefer Man,” the easy swinger “Hey Now” with the band’s vocal choruses, and the Gene Krupa bompity bomp beat tacked onto “Tarzan of Harlem.” There are two versions of the all-time classic “Minnie the Moocher,” one laid-back featuring growl trumpet, the other in a quicker mode with rhythms rolling along. “The Jumpin’ Jive” is pretty typical, a stomp-down rhythm identifies the title track, and a horse-drawn clippity clop beat steadies “The Old Man on the Mountain,” with phrases inserted similar to “Comes Love.” It’s clear that the band has always enjoyed these tunes and this era of jazz, and now that they have a bit of success under their belts, their desire to do a tribute close to their hearts is fully realized. Perhaps their March 2009 showcase on Dancing with the Stars playing vintage throwback swing also prompted this excursion way back to the roots. Their first recording in five years, it would seem Big Bad Voodoo Daddy have career longevity in mind, and a tribute to Louis Jordan, Slim Gaillard, or a second volume of Calloway’s tunes would also be in order for a future project. This recording comes easily recommended to their fans and early period jazz lovers. ~ Michael G. Nastos, Rovi Performers: Dirk Shumaker – Bass (Acoustic), Vocals; Andy Rowley – Vocals, Sax (Baritone); Glen “The Kid” Marhevka – Trumpet; Joshua Levy – Piano; Joshua Marc Levy – Piano; Karl Hunter – Sax (Tenor), Sax (Alto), Clarinet; Kurt Sodergren – Drums; |

How Do You Keep the Music Playing? $9.58 Susannah McCorkle’s second Pausa album is highlighted by a remarkable version of “There’s No Business Like Show Business.” Usually performed in razzle-dazzle style, the song is drastically slowed down and treated as a dramatic ballad by McCorkle, and she shows that the words are actually quite touching. Also on the diverse set are the singer’s fresh interpretations of such tunes as “A Fine Romance,” “Where or When,” “Cheek to Cheek,” “Slap That Bass,” and even a tolerable rendition of “By the Time I Get to Phoenix.” Backed by the Ben Aronov trio and on a few numbers joined by either tenor saxophonist Al Cohn or guitarist Gene Bertoncini, Susannah McCorkle is in such fine form that one truly regrets that her first seven American albums (four on Inner City and three on Pausa) have yet to appear on CD. ~ Scott Yanow, Rovi Performers: Al Cohn – Sax (Tenor); Benny Aronov – Piano; Gene Bertoncini – Guitar; Joe Cocuzzo – Drums; Steve LaSpina – Bass; Susannah McCorkle – Vocals |

How Do You Like the Sound of That $11.18 Amplified Heat are an old-fashioned, unreconstructed blooze-boogie band in the 1970s tradition, given just enough of a modern twist to potentially appeal to the White Stripes/Kings of Leon audience. At heart, however, this Austin-based outfit are the musical sons of hopelessly unfashionable acts like Savoy Brown, Foghat and post-psychedelic Status Quo. Even when performing while fully dressed, singer Jim Ortiz sounds like someone whose preferred stage costume involves a bare chest and a buckskin vest. With feathers. Maybe a headband. A scan through the song titles confirms this spiritual homeland: “Tough Guy,” “Rambler,” “Man on the Road,” even the rather too on-the-nose instrumental “Amplified Boogie.” What saves How Do You Like the Sound of That from complete lameness is that Amplified Heat have wisely jettisoned the one thing that made ’70s boogie irredeemably awful: bloat. The two longest songs on the album barely break five minutes, and a solid majority of the album’s 11 songs are safely under three-and-a-half. Combined with the band’s youthful energy and preference for faster-than-boogie tempos, How Do You Like the Sound of That manages to avoid the battery of smart-alecky answers that could potentially respond to the cocky album title. ~ Stewart Mason, Rovi Performers: Chris Ortiz – Drums; Christ Ortiz – Drums; Gian Ortiz – Bass, Guitar (Bass); Jim Ortiz – Guitar, Vocals |

Do What You Love $9.58 Big Brother & the Holding Company’s two post-Joplin releases, Be a Brother and How Hard It Is, are two of the best recordings by bands picking up the pieces after the losses of their respective comets/focal points. Where the Billion Dollar Babies and Spiders from Mars had to move on without Alice Cooper and David Bowie, respectively, their musical genre didn’t lend itself to reconstituted hard rock groups — look at the sad fate of post-Jeff Lynne ELO or BTO without Randy Bachman. Like Grace Slick, Janis Joplin joined the group in which she rose to fame after it had formed, but as the Jefferson Airplane could reinvent itself for the future as a Starship with or without Slick, Big Brother was never given the chance to continue producing its experimental psychedelic pop. Lisa Battle has a strong voice, and it’s so different from Joplin’s that the band should have developed a new sound for her. It didn’t, doing a disservice to this able singer. Battle does a great job on the funky tribute to Joplin that is “Women Is Losers”; it succeeds because it is not a note-for-note copy but a new look at an original Joplin composition. On the other hand, what is the point in trying to re-create “I Need a Man to Love?” You can’t possibly top the electric John Simon production from Cheap Thrills, or Live at Winterland ’68′s power. The high points of this CD are “Save Your Love” (where Battle’s voice carefully patterns itself around this slinky blues-pop, despite the low-budget surroundings); the title track; and two very short pieces, “The OK Chorale” and “Back Door Jamb.” Both those musical exercises should have been expanded to give Battle the chance to identify herself as Big Brother’s current singer. The band, after all, began pre-Janis by creating unorthodox sounds. Kathy McDonald and Nick Gravenites, who both appeared on Be a Brother and How Hard It Is, are the kind of talents who bring out the best these musicians have to offer. Seven or eight albums with that lineup would have created a formidable body of work. Put Lisa Battle into that mix as well, and the possibilities are endless. ~ Joe Viglione, Rovi Performers: Anna Schaad – Viola; David Getz – Drums, Percussion; Johnny Thompson – Guitar; Lisa Battle – Vocals; Peter Albin – Guitar (Bass), Bass; Sam Andrew – Vocal Harmony, Vocals, Guitar; Tom Finch – Guitar (Electric), Guitar |

The Single Girl’s Guide to Murder $0.01 I just know my alihi’s around here someplace… maybe under the bed, next to my Manolo knock offs. By the way, I’m Karen Doucette: showroom girl-slash-model-slash-aspiring actress. Add another slash for novice sleuth–because if trying to make it in Manhattan weren’t enough of an adventure, now I’ve got to go undercover to cross myself off the list of suspects in the murder of my ex-boyfriend. He had it coming. Not that I had anything to do with it…I’m just saying. See, my former flame, Dick, lived up to his name in more ways than one. He had it where it counts–and the city’s wealthiest socialites paid big bucks to have him. You might wonder why I’d date a gigolo. There was the phenomenal sex, obviously–plus my pet delusion that I was the one he really cared about. So why did we break up? Enter Blaize St. John, frienemy extraordinaire. She came, she saw, she stole my boyfriend. And now, just because the crime-scene evidence points to me and a bunch of people can testify to how royally p.o.’d I was…well, I know it looks bad, but seriously–do I sound like the kind of girl who’d risk chipping a nail in pursuit of revenge? Is it hot in here, or is it me? …or is it Detective Andy Faluso of the NYPD–he of the coffee-brown eyes and beautifully broad shoulders? Normally, a guy this intense is a turn on–but when his cop radar is focused on moi? Not so much. Okay, maybe a little. And maybe he likes me just a little bit, too. I mean, why else is he calling me every other day? Still, I have to focus on proving my innocence. I know this city like the back of my hand, so ferreting out Dick’s killer should be a breeze. And while I’m at it, I’ll write up my exploits as a script. Because ifthis is to be a summer spent snooping instead of shopping, I should at least get a movie deal out of it…. |
