Garza, Davíd

Davíd Garza, of Austin, is a pop artist drenched in the pop rock of the 1960s and 70s with a few other things thrown in. His album This Euphoria is delightful.

Haden, Charlie/Quartet West

Charlie Haden-Quartet West have a new album out called Now Is The Time.

King Curtis

Instant Soul is a fine compilation album from King Curtis, one of the best sax players in Rock 'n' Roll and R&B.

McNabb, Ian

Ian McNabb, formerly of The Icicle Works, released a new album in 1996, Merseybeast. As usual, McNabb is putting out great stuff.

"Don't Put Your Spell On Me" is the first single from McNabb's Merseybeast.

McCartney, Paul

Paul McCartney's album, Flaming Pie.

Montgomery, Monte

Texas artist Monte Montgomery performs acoustic blues/country/pop stuff. Here's a review of his album 1st And Repair.

Savage Garden

Although reviewed in the summer of 1997, I just recently posted this review to the web page. Savage Garden's first eponymous album. My views may have changed since I first wrote this, but I still have to admit, I like the sound of this album.

Semisonic

Lauretta Hobson's review of the Nottingham, England concert.

My review of Great Divide.

Various Artists

My reivew of the I Am Sam soundtrack.


Books

I've got one book listed here as I've found that music is one of it's main topics. If you're a male music fan, I think you'll find something in this story that hits a bit close to home. If you're a female music fan, maybe it will for you as well. If you're a female lover of a male music fan, you just might want to stay away as it might be too painfully funny.

A highly recommended book by British author, Nick Hornby, High Fidelity.
