twist to the vintage genre. Vinicio Capossela and Gianmaria Testa prove that Italy’s appreciation for the fine arts extends to song weaving as well as winemaking. Spain’s Amparanoia sings about a love paradox that could apply to drinking wine as well. Portugal’s Jorge Fernando provides the perfect soundtrack for a glass of his country’s famous port wine. Though now living in exile in France, Chile’s Mariana Montalvo and her music have remained steadfastly rooted to the land where Bordeaux grapes thrived in the 19th Century. Argentina’s Melingo offers as much variety in his music as his country does in its vineyards. On the opposite side of the world, the sunny locales of South Africa and Australia offe...  (less)

spirits, and instructors at the school performing a wide range of folk standards and obscurities, substantially annotated in the accompanying booklet. Among the revelations: a luminous rendition of "Water Is Wide" by Cat Edgerton, a country recasting of "Corrina, Corrina" by James Hand, an atmospheric update of the Shaker spiritual "Simple Gifts" by the Zincs, the melodic liberties taken by Laura Doherty with Donovan's "Colours," the harmony pairing of Amy (daughter of Willie) Nelson and Cathy (daughter of Arlo) Guthrie as Folk Uke on the Carter Family's "Wildwood Flower," and a rarely heard verse to "Home on the Range" sung by Nora O'Connor.

Moloko's "The Time Is Now," on which falsetto vocals and lush strings underline the track, to the old-time R&B feel of Joan Osborne's "Righteous Love." Nearly everyone on board is in a sentimental mood. Country star Trisha Yearwood delivers the piano torch ballad "For Only You," while Aimee Mann contributes "Calling It Quits," a literate shuffle in the Elvis Costello vein. The Dust Brothers revive the 1976 Andrea True Connection hit "More More More." An expert on sex moves and never one to miss a chance to update his sound, Tom Jones receives the "Peppermint Jam Mix" for "Sexbomb" (featuring Mousse T), a tune as subtle as its title suggests. The Sex and the City score goes down perfect with a bottle of fine wine and candlelight--and a little backup Barry White, just in c...  (less)

song-score. His previously unreleased ballad "My Little Girl" successfully evokes previous McGraw hits, and he's shrewdly woven it into a collection that echoes the story's themes via the sultry R&B-country fusion of Natasha Bedingfield's "Wild Horses"; a spare, haunting "Rodeo Road" by Holly Williams (granddaughter of Hank Sr.); and the quiet introspection of Gemma Hayes's opening "4:35 A.M." Becki Ryan's "Alive" and "The Things We Don't" by Watertown give the collection a welcome double-shot of country-pop effusiveness, and Donovan's vintage "Catch the Wind" seasons it with timeless folk charm, while McGraw turns his Dancehall Doctors touring band loose to tear up "The Fireman" with live roadhouse swagger.
