Desert Rust
\nCactus Music
\nIf the whole CD were like the easy, melodic, gathered-around-the-campfire-drinking-beers first track, Cactus Music would be quite an enjoyable little jaunt. Unfortunately, when Desert Rust picks up the pace and adds thin, strained-sounding vocals, the warm desert night turns ice cold and you want to high-tail it outta there to the closest Indian casino. Folk-tinged, acoustic guitars reminiscent of early Eagles blend with harmonica for some nice moments, nonetheless. -KLM<\/p>\n
Coretta Scott
\nScream & Shout
\nCoretta Scott could easily be \u2013 if they haven\u2019t been already \u2013 the next band you hear on one of those WB shows followed by an announcement: \u201cTonight\u2019s episode featured music by\u2026\u201d They\u2019re right on the mark for the pop-fed, yet angst-tinged zeitgeist of Gen Y, with lines like \u201cdepression\u2019s a fashion going out of style.\u201d If not the most original thing you\u2019ve heard lately, it\u2019s at least catchy. -KLM<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
