London native Michael Kiwanuka has won over the hearts of many with his soulful voice & trademark "modern vintage" sound.

He may be one of the most lauded artists in the contemporary blues arena today, and rightfully so, but for Mike Zito, the thing that counts the most is maintaining his honesty, authenticity and integrity. Those are the qualities that have steered Zitos career since the beginning and continue to define every effort hes offered since. I have nothing to hide; it seems my honesty is what people relate to most, he once told Vintage Guitar magazine. Anders (Osborne) told me early on, If you dont believe what youre singing, youll never be a good singer.

One of the biggest-selling jazz albums of all time, not to mention bossa nova's finest moment, Getz/Gilberto trumped Jazz Samba by bringing two of bossa nova's greatest innovators guitarist/singer João Gilberto and composer/pianist Antonio Carlos Jobim to New York to record with Stan Getz. The results were magic. Ever since Jazz Samba, the jazz marketplace had been flooded with bossa nova albums, and the overexposure was beginning to make the music seem like a fad.

The seasons had always been a source of inspiration for pianist Edgar Knecht. Whenever he thought about them, he couldn't help ruminating: About the fleetingness of things. About the unique power of music to accompany us through all the different stages of life. About the challenge for the original trio to incorporate an additional musician. It therefore seemed apt to make the seasons the focal point for the group's tenth anniversary album. So 'Personal Seasons' was not just another season cycle in the style of Vivaldi - but a turning point in the work of Edgar Knecht.

The Doors' fourth studio album, 'The Soft Parade', became the band's fourth straight top ten album when it was released. Despite featuring one of the group's biggest hits, 'Touch Me', it remains the most polarising record of The Doors' career, thanks to the brass and string arrangements that embellish several tracks.

You Can't Lose with the Blues is a refreshing treasure of a jazz recording - a pinao trio session with 12 tracks and varied enough to sustain interest for the long haul. Lafayette Harris Jr. is just the pianist to accomplish this feat. He has an energetic sense of rhytmic vitality, a tasty, full bodied, approach to the keyboard, and a sensibility drenched in the blues.

The latest chapter in the highly acclaimed Bob Dylan Bootleg Series revisits Dylan's pivotal musical journeys to Nashville, from 1967 to 1969, focusing on previously unavailable recordings made with Johnny Cash and unreleased tracks from the John Wesley Harding, Nashville Skyline, and Self Portrait sessions. Disc 1 finds Dylan in Columbia's Studio A in Nashville recording alternate versions of compositions written for John Wesley Harding (October 17 and November 6, 1967) and Nashville Skyline (February 13-14, 1969) while introducing a new song "Western Road" (a Nashville Skyline outtake).

Monster is indeed R.E.M.'s long-promised "rock" album; it just doesn't rock in the way one might expect. Instead of R.E.M.'s trademark anthemic bashers, Monster offers a set of murky sludge, powered by the heavily distorted and delayed guitar of Peter Buck. Michael Stipe's vocals have been pushed to the back of the mix, along with Bill Berry's drums, which accentuates the muscular pulse of Buck's chords. From the androgynous sleaze of "Crush With Eyeliner" to the subtle, Eastern-tinged menace of "You," most of the album sounds dense, dirty, and grimy, which makes the punchy guitars of "What's the Frequency, Kenneth?" and the warped soul of "Tongue" all the more distinctive.
