Trouble Books: 'Shaky Science'
It's easy to get lost in the eclectic soundscapes of Ohio-based band Trouble Books' fourth self-released album, <em>The United Colors of Trouble Books</em>. The album plays out like a wandering trip through a 13 year-old's subconscious, set to beautifully unique experimental music. The gorgeous mix of meandering instrumental arrangements, expansive ambience, and wonderfully earnest vocals creates a sort of spacey chamber pop that seems to float wherever the wind may take it.


Sam Phillips Says Everything With 'Anything'
For the first time in her 20-year career, singer-songwriter Sam Phillips goes it alone on the curiously titled <em>Don't Do Anything</em>. Phillips performs songs from her album with violinist and guitarist Erik Gorfain in a session on <em>World Cafe</em>.


Brooke Miller On Mountain Stage

Harry 'Sweets' Edison: Simplicity In Swing
Known as a premier accompanist to singers and a masterful soloist, the inimitable trumpeter cultivated a spare yet bluesy approach. His career spanned a long stay with the original Count Basie band, as well as an even lengthier solo career.


Stages Of Grief For The 'BPP': Bargaining

Heavy Metal Road Trip
Nothing nourishes the road warrior quite like heavy-metal music. It awakens the primitive conqueror within. Epic highway battles can be fought on Black Sabbath and Slayer alone, but here are five more warrior-friendly head-bashers, each set to tear the road apart.


Seun Kuti Keeps The Afrobeat Movement Alive
Fela Kuti fathered the musical movement Afrobeat and its crown prince, 25-year-old Seun Kuti. The Nigerian singer is leading his father's band, Egypt 80. On his self-titled debut album, he's added some American influences but kept his songs sharply pointed and political.


Reckless Kelly: Songs For Staying Put
In this year of high gas prices, reviewer Meredith Ochs is already sick of the word "staycation." But she's found an Austin, Texas, band with a great new song &mdash; which doubles as a handy rationalization for spending a holiday at home.


The Bobs: Irreverent A Cappella
