Album: Bill Sims
Artist: Bill Sims
Release Date: 8/10/1999
Genre: Rock/Pop

Just like its title, Sims' eponymous PBS / Warner Brothers debut is unpretentious and solid: it's this singer-guitarist's personal overview of the blues. Sims' voice at its most soulful suggests a blues Gil Scott-Heron or Lou Rawls - smooth, deep rather than flashy, and bittersweet. Some of his... [+] Expand

Still Waters Still Waters
Artist: Say-So
Gettin' Around Gettin' Around
Artist: Red & the Red Hots

Once again accompanied by his backing band the Red Hots, singer/keyboardist/pianist/Hammond B-3 organist Red Young swings hard on Gettin' Around, a mixture of original tunes and classics from the golden age of jump blues and swing. It's similar to the group Young often gigs with, swing-revival mainstays the Royal Crown Revue, and it achieves its... Read More

The Answer to Your Problems? The Answer to Your Problems?
Artist: Marky Ramone & the Intruders

Once a Ramone, always a Ramone. Marky Ramone and the Intruders' latest album The Answer to Your Problems? is loud. It's fast. It's fun. It's stupid. And even with 14 songs, it's less than a half an hour long. Unfortunately for Marky, it's not all that original. Worth a spin or two, but this would be the answer to your problems only if someone...

Red Light! Red Light!
Artist: Indigo Swing

Red Light captures Indigo Swing's energetic update of swing and rockabilly. The album's warm, vintage sound comes not only from the band's healthy respect for musical tradition, but also from where it was recorded, Capitol Studio's Studio B. This attention to detail doesn't hamper Red Light's momentum, however, as dancefloor-friendly tracks like... Read More

24 Hours 24 Hours
Artist: Ant Trip Ceremony

A blend of folk, blues, jazz, and Eastern psychedelia, 24 Hours is at its best on the more Eastern and experimental influenced pieces like "Pale Shades of Gray" with its eerie melody, "What's the Matter Now," and "Elaborations" with its lengthy raga-ish instrumental with some very effective flute. The album also contains some covers like "Get... Read More

Shiny Shiny
Artist: Kari Wuhrer
Community Score: 5.00

Actress and MTV siren Kari Wuhrer expands her horizons to pop with 1999's Shiny. The album features ten appropriately glossy tunes that appropriate dance, pop, and alt-rock elements; the best songs, like "There's a Drug," "Your Octopus," and "Better Off," focus on the breathy, sassy attitude of Wuhrer's voice and surround it with dancey beats,...
