Friday, October 16th, 2009

Each Friday, we bring you 10-word reviews of 10 recently released CDs:

James McMurtry Live in Europe — Brief CD/DVD combo documents Americana singer’s first European tour.

Shelley Short A Cave, A Canoo — Folk singer’s childlike vocals can get somewhat distracting at times.

Various Artists Si Para Usted — Sixteen-track compilation gives idea of variety of Cuban music.

Five Times August Life as a Song — Acoustic popster’s style reminds me a bit of Jason Mraz.

Richie McDonald If Every Day Could Be Christmas — Lonestar singer releases his holiday album a little early, no?

Gossip Music For Men — Band’s blues rock is getting better on their latest effort.

Brandi Carlile Give Up the Ghost — Some good acoustic rock with slightly Southern female vocal lead.

Various Artists Glee — Songs from the popular show include plenty of glee-ful remakes.

One Eskimo One Eskimo — London band kind of reminds me of a sleepy Radiohead.

Five for Fighting Slice — Good songwriting on fifth album with some VH1-ready singles.
