that parents, for an entire 26-track album, fully reclaim their listening rights. So what if "Rubber Ducky," "On Top of Spaghetti," "The Three Billy Goats Gruff," and "Señor El Gato" are among the song titles--this is music meant to celebrate Mom and Dad's last remaining shreds of coolness, from the retro-inspired jewel case to the alt-country acts' indie credibility. Alejandro Escovedo laments hitting the big One-O ("Candy just doesn't taste as good anymore") on "Sad & Dreamy"; Rosie Flores sends 'em flocking to the speakers with first track "Red, Red Robin"; Robbie Fulks feels the pain of "Godfrey," the sickly unemployed amateur children's magician; and the Cornell Hurd Band makes a compelling case for napkin use with "Don't Wipe Your...  (less)

involvedÑfrom established acts like Gatsby's American Dream, Apollo Sunshine and Say Anything featuring Saves The Day's Chris Conley, to newcomers like Rachel Cantu, the Casual Lean and Down To Earth ApproachÑhad complete freedom and unconditional support when choosing which Dylan song to recreate and how to make it their own. From the hip-hop coolness of P.O.S.'s version of "All Along The Watchtower" to the schizophrenic cacophony of "I Don't Believe You (She Acts Like We Never Met)" by Panama Jerk, Paupers, Peasants, Princes & Kings is as diverse and unique as Dylan, himself. Each band adds their own personality to the song they chose to cover, making every track a highlight. The Honorary Title's acoustic homage! to "A Simple Twi...  (less)

joy and fun of this multigenerational collection. Be it quacking with "The Ugly Duckling," singing along with folksy "This Old Man," bopping to the calypso beat of "The Banana Boat Song," or daydreaming to "House on Pooh Corner," every member of the family will find a favorite in this compilation of songs by the original artists. --Deborah L.

columns, and, most recently, an independent campaign to become governor of Texas. This revival of Kinky's material takes its title from one of Friedman's campaign slogans (another is "How hard could it be?") and four of its ten cuts from Pearls in the Snow , Friedman's previously released, self-commissioned tribute album. While that earlier release focused on Friedman's non-satirical material--with Lyle Lovett wringing every once of pathos from "Sold American" and Willie Nelson bringing a tender touch to "Ride 'Em Jewboy"--this album highlights some of Friedman's more outrageous material. A hard-driving "They Ain't Makin' Jews Like Jesus Anymore," a song designed to offend just about everyone, finds Todd Sni...  (less)

Chapman--the sequence and selections pale in comparison to the best material this genre has to offer. Little is outright awful, but even less reaches beyond mildly nice or overdone and stale. It's too bad there isn't greater diversity--there is no traditional gospel and other than Audio Adrenaline's "Man of God," the collection lacks any truly alternative coverage. Songs 4 Life , bland and safe, is a far cry from a mountaintop experience. --Paige La Grone  (less)

assortment of blues stars, mostly anchored by Muddy Waters rhythm-section bassist Calvin Jones and drummer Willie Smith. Kenny Neal, a triple threat on guitar, harp, and vocals, comes closest to re-creating the seminal Muddy mode with "Bring It On Home." Saxophonist Eddie Shaw belts out a forcefully authentic "I Ain't Superstitious," and Smith, with help from harmonica hero Jerry Portnoy, delivers a take on "The Same Thing" that's very much in the tradition. But much of the fun is hearing how the songs sound in new arrangements. Tab Benoit's "Mellow Down Easy" lives up to its title, while Clarence "Gatemouth" Brown puts a fresh spin on the macho blues anthem "I Just Want to Make Love to You," and Deborah Coleman complet...  (less)
