Michael Buble, "Crazy Love"

by googler@evpl on Wednesday, March 3 2010, 1:31pm

You may have caught Michael Buble singing after the closing ceremony of the Olympic Games. Not a hugely impressive performance for him, I thought -- the man has a remarkable voice and a classic style, in the mode of Sinatra and Darin. He does Vegas-style...

by HoodooVoodoo@evpl on Friday, January 9 2009, 4:38pm

Every once in awhile I stumble upon a hidden gem when looking for music. This happened recently when I was doing a search for the bands the Minus 5 and Loose Fur , both side projects for Wilco frontman Jeff Tweedy , and found Bridging the Distance: A...

"Our Bright Future" by Tracy Chapman

by MediaPhile@evpl on Tuesday, December 16 2008, 3:35pm

I have long been a fan of Tracy Chapman. She has a beautiful, soulful voice that lends itself to the simple but smart and touching songs that she writes. "Our Bright Future" is her 8th album. She started out 23 years ago in little cafes near...

Tom Jones ROCKS!! (seriously!)

by E-Dub@evpl on Tuesday, October 28 2008, 4:34pm

So in my musical duties here at the library, I regularly peruse various music mags & blogs (the subject for another blog post on another day because I'm just so excited about this post I can't stop now!). Today...okay, literally 5 minutes...

Nelly profits from extra expense

by E-Ville Librarian@evpl on Monday, November 10 2008, 10:06am

In the world of Hip-Hop one contrivance works like no other, cameos. In his newest creation, St. Louis's own Nelly has dropped one of the most densely packed creations of the year. Every track features a superstar or members of the St. Lunatics crew...

Chrissie Hynde is back -- and she's spectacular -- in the Pretenders' first studio album in 6 years, "Break Up the Concrete." She hasn't lost her voice or her style! The hard-rocking Hynde, who wrote all the songs, fronts an all...

Come Together for John Lennon Night

by this.is.not.here@evpl on Wednesday, November 19 2008, 11:37am

Sadly Dec. 8 is fast approaching. Of course that was the day the music died for the second time. John Lennon was taken from us. Since his assassin merely wanted fame for his horrible deed I always refer to him as a "poor excuse for a human being...

13 not so lucky for LL

by E-Ville Librarian@evpl on Wednesday, October 1 2008, 8:47am

First off I have to say that I wasn't upset with LL Cool J' s newest studio outing, Exit 13 , but the majority is very typical Cool James fodder. Parents beware, most tracks are sexually driven. The ladies do love him after all. However, as LL...

Conor Oberst's Mexican Getaway

by HoodooVoodoo@evpl on Thursday, October 2 2008, 1:28pm

I've never listened to a Bright Eyes album before. This revelation usually comes as a surprise to most of my friends who know my musical tastes. However, for some reason I decided to give Conor Oberst (aka Bright Eyes ) a shot. Maybe it was the fact...

My daughter turned me on to this group, and the recording In This Episode... , and I was completely taken in by them. Everyone with whom I've shared this recording has been similarly impressed. Lake Stree Dive is comprised of vocalist Rachael Price...

"Little Wild One" by Joan Osborne

by MediaPhile@evpl on Monday, October 27 2008, 5:17pm

" Righteous Love " is one of my all-time favorite albums, so when I read in "People" magazine that Joan Osborne had a 7th album out -- " Little Wild One " -- I made sure the library ordered it. Osborne's music has elements...

One hit Wonders

by this.is.not.here@evpl on Monday, September 22 2008, 9:54am

I recently got into a discussion about "blues." Don't get me started. I have very definite likes and dislikes where blues is concerned. I would have to say this falls directly under the category of E-Dub's Cherry Picking . It all started...
