Colin Meloy – Colin Meloy Sings Live!
by Caren Kelleher
Sings strong when solo
Even on the worst of songs
Dracula’s Daughter
KaiserCartel – March Forth
by Caren Kelleher
Name screams “MTV!”
Music whispers “Coffeehouse”
Confounds emo kids
My Morning Jacket – Evil Urges
by Caren Kelleher
Prince meets pedal steel
Reinvention or a ruse?
Highly suspicious
R.E.M. – Accelerate
by Kate Kiefer
Sounds like REM
Circa 1993
Oh the good old days
Scarlett Johansson – Anywhere I Lay My Head
by Kate Kiefer
I think maybe she’s
covering Tom Waits songs but
I can’t hear her voice
She & Him – Vol. 1
by Steve LaBate
Velvet-voiced ’60s
Girl-group bliss wraps itself in
misty cowgirl heartbreak
