RASCAL FLATTS

Still Feels Good

The I-want-to-get-to-know-you first single "Take Me There" is vintage Rascal Flatts, but the band also takes some convincing new detours on "Still Feels Good." More...

BROOKS & DUNN

Cowboy Town

Kix Brooks and Ronnie Dunn have it down. That's not to say their albums all sound alike, but during the last 16 years they've built a sound that's unmistakable even when they're branching out. More...

CELINE DION

Taking Chances

AC radio has evolved dramatically since Celine Dion took up residency at Caesars Palace nearly five years ago —but as she proves on aptly titled "Taking Chances," the globe's best-selling female singer has no interest in repeating history. More...

SANTANA FEATURING CHAD KROEGER

Into the Night

The last time Chad Kroeger and Carlos Santana got together, the result was 2003/2004 multiformat bull's-eye "Why Don't You & I." More...

Rilo Kiley

September 22, 2007
New York (Webster Hall)

It's hard to pin down what exactly to think of Rilo Kiley at this point in the group's career. On the one hand, as a band that has worked its way up from humble beginnings to indie stardom, honing its musicianship, live show and overall presence over the past nine years, the L.A.-based quartet is pretty damn impressive. More...

Genesis

September 25, 2007
New York (Madison Square Garden)

No, it wasn't the reunion including Peter Gabriel and Steve Hackett that fans have long dreamed about, but Tuesday's New York show featuring the most commercially successful incarnation of Genesis doesn't disappoint. The set list for the aptly named Turn It on Again tour, the band's first with Phil Collins in more than 15 years... More...

Kirkus Reviews

The Swift Rise To International Celebrity And Decades-Long Decline Into Profound Obscurity Of Eccentric Hungarian pianist Ervin Nyiregyházi.

Bazzana ("Wondrous Strange: the Life and Art of Glenn Gould," 2004, etc.) spent ten years investigating the bizarre life (1903-1987) of this quintessential flawed genius, who emigrated in 1920 to the United States, where he dazzled audiences and confounded critics for a few brilliant years before self-destructing at the end of the decade. More...

Kirkus Reviews

With Three Zillion Books On Rock History Already Available, Seasoned Music Writer Robins Finds A Good Reason To Write Another One.

Why bang out another book on the history of rock? Veteran rock journalist Robins (Billboard, Rolling Stone, Village Voice) answers that question with a resounding, Why the heck not? He must have figured that if he has the knowledge (check), the writing chops (check) and a point of view (check), it was worth a shot. More...
