Etheridge album mere copy of 'Skin'

By Liam Odea | February 17, 2004

The songs on Melissa Etheridge's new album, "Lucky," sound like the samples that didn't make it onto her previous effort, "Skin." While it is refreshing that there are still women in the business who play and write their own music, this album begs the question, "Why didn't somebody else write the music to this one?" The only song Etheridge did not write or co-write is "Breathe." Unfortunately, those assistant writers fell into the same trap Etheridge did -- sounding like all the other songs.

Diane Keaton has that special 'Something'

By Kevin James Wong | February 12, 2004

"Something's Gotta Give" is a slow burner of a romantic comedy. It is disarmingly genuine in a genre that has been swamped by toilet humor and lowbrow physical comedy.

Kenny Chesney has slowly evolved into country's biggest idol and top-seller since his modest beginnings in 1994. Chesney makes it no secret that he loves nothing more than spending his time in the sun in the Caribbean islands between recordings and tours.

DiFranco's 'Educated Guess' passes test

By Mindy Longanecker | February 3, 2004

I will admit, Ani DiFranco is an acquired taste. She is one of those artists who is considered by the majority of people to be somewhat strange and exotic, who has been around for a long time, and it takes a good friend to sit you down and finally convince you to try her out.

Elbow's new album pleases entire 'Cast'

By Carrie Lopez | February 3, 2004

Four words: Album of the year. If you count the 2003 British release date, the above sentence certainly applies to Elbow's sophomore effort, "Cast of Thousands." If we insist on being technical and sticking to last week's U.S release date, it still seems unlikely that the album will become unseated from the top three or so in the months to come. Simply stated, this album is stunning.

'Cheaper': why you hate children

By Tim Ciesco | January 30, 2004

Imagine this: After a long and trying day at work, you come home ready for some rest and relaxation, but rather than hitting up the recliner, you are greeted by the eager arms of your 12 children.
