scans. "Draft Morning" by the Byrds gives this collection a political edginess, and James Brown's "Say It Loud, I'm Black and I'm Proud (Part 1)" is a welcome, funky addition. Bob Dylan's collaboration with Joan Osborne on his classic "Chimes of Freedom" is this disc's real gem, a must-have for Dylan connoisseurs. Sure, there are more critically acclaimed collections of '60s music out there--the Nuggets box set and The Big Chill soundtrack are two oft-praised classics--but this disc, if nothing else, contains the best of the bunch. --Jason Verlinde  (less)

Spears B-sides. This collection of memories from that maligned decade sounds pretty good, even if a bit obvious. "Superstition," "What's Going On," "Papa Was a Rolling Stone," and "Can't Get Enough of Your Love, Baby" form a solid core of early '70s soul, while Three Dog Night and Free represent white boys attempting to find the groove. There's no such pretense from Cat Stevens, whose "Peace Train" is a sensitive folk number. The only real surprises are Bob Marley's "Three Little Birds" and Billy Preston's "Nothin' from Nothin'," as neither is a classic-rock staple. The addition of Blondie's "Heart of Glass" in the definitive disco version is a nice touch. But really, you need an entire multi-CD collection (like those wonders from Time-Life) to do the d...  (less)

Pippin, Godspell), libretto by Winnie Holzman (TV's My So-Called Life) and based on the best-selling novel by Gregory Maguire, the musical is a prequel to the legendary classic, THE WIZARD OF OZ. WICKED explores the early life of the witches of Oz: Glinda and Elphaba. One witch, born with emerald green skin, is smart, fiery and misunderstood. The other is beautiful, ambitious and very popular. WICKED stars Tony Award® winner Kristin Chenoweth (You're A Good Man, Charlie Brown) as Glinda, Idina Menzel (Rent) as Elphaba, the Wicked Witch of the West, and Tony® and Oscar® Winner Joel Grey (Cabaret) as The Wizard.

of the greatest chart-topping successes in pop music history?" Jersey Boys celebrates legendary Rock and Roll Hall of Famers Frankie Valli, Bob Gaudio, Tommy DeVito, and Nick Massi who, as the 4 seasons, wrote their own songs, invented their own identity, and sold 175 million records worldwide-all before they were 30.  (less)

The trick here is that Irglová and Hansard also play the leads; because their characters are shown busking, writing music, or rehearsing, the songs are smoothly integrated in the film. The overall acoustic mood won't surprise fans of the Frames--some tracks ("Say It to Me," "When Your Mind's Made Up") have even popped up on the band's albums, though the arrangements are more pared-down here, befitting the scruffy, street-musician setting. Being the lesser-known entity, Irglová feels like a revelation; she sounds a bit like a folkie Björk on "If You Want Me," and her song "The Hill" is downright heartbreaking. Irglová and Hansard had already made the 2006 album The Swell Season together, so their collaboration here feels really org...  (less)
