CD Reviews

Randy Rogers Band

Album: 
Burning The Day
Record Label: 
MCA Nashville
By: 
Ethan Messick
Patty Griffin has long acknowledged her debt to black music, and, given her soulful, soaring voice, it was only a matter of time before she’d record her own gospel record. That’s not to suggest she hasn’t dipped her toes in those waters before; the best moments of her last recording, Children Running Through, were two such tunes, “Heavenly Day” and “Up to the Mountain” (based on MLK’s final speech).

Reckless Kelly

Album: 
Somewhere in Time
Record Label: 
Yep Roc
By: 
Lynne Margolis

Calling Reckless Kelly a country band has always been somewhat of a misnomer; even they describe themselves as “a rock band with a fiddle.” On Somewhere in Time, their 12-song tribute to a major influence, Pinto Bennett and the Famous Motel Cowboys, Reckless Kelly is a rock band with a fiddle and pedal steel — and chimey guitars and Bennett’s very country-leaning lyrics.
