Comets on Fire – Avatar – Review

November 10, 2006

Jed – Synesthesia – Review

November 3, 2006

Airtight, stop-on-a-dime rhythm section burns these high octane bulldozer riffs around corners on the rails. The musicianship and character to get somewhere.

Black Stone Cherry – Review

October 27, 2006

ZZ Top – Fandango! – Review

October 20, 2006

The live half is the only officially sanctioned live recording from the band’s early years. The second half contains their best studio work at that point.

ZZ Top – Tres Hombres – Review

October 20, 2006

This album is probably best known as the home of “La Grange,” but its riches reach far beyond that lone tune. Tres Hombres has a lot to offer.

October 20, 2006

Hard rock that wouldn’t’ve sounded out of place in the early ’90s, alongside bands like Soundgarden, The Obsessed, Mother Love Bone, and Alice In Chains.
