No Regrets: The Life of Edith Piaf by Carolyn Burke

On March 27, 2011, in Book Reviews, by Editor

Introduced here as “one of the greatest vocalists of the twentieth century,” iconic French singer Edith Piaf is accorded a perceptive, supportive, even definitive biography by seasoned biographer Burke (Becoming Modern: The Life of Mina Loy, 1996; Lee Miller, 2005), who had access to previously untapped Piaf documents. For the singer’s fans, it’s a generally well-known fact that Piaf grew up, and grew up singing, on the streets of the shady side of Paris.

Blessed, the stunning new album from three-time Grammy Award-winner Lucinda Williams is set for release on March 1st 2011 by Lost Highway. Considered by many to be one of America’s greatest living songwriters, Williams lives up to that and more by delivering 12 new songs that cover an even wider emotional spectrum than her previous work, without moving too far in any one direction. Blessed opens with the gritty kiss-off “Buttercup” then moves seamlessly into the sultry blues of “Born To Be Loved”.

Lungs by Florence + The Machine

On September 22, 2010, in It's all about music..., by Editor

2009 debut album from the hotly tipped UK outfit fonted by Florence Welch. Lungs, produced by Paul Epworth, James Ford and Steve Mackay, is an intoxicating mix of delicate fragility, dark humor and twisted Tim Burton style fairy-tales. From the live favourite ‘You’ve Got The Love’ to the raw Blues-tinged ‘Girl With One Eye’ to the beautifully painful ‘Between Two Lungs’, the album is crammed with crowd pleasers.

The Piano Has Been Drinking – Not Me

On March 6, 2010, in It's all about music..., by Editor

Describing the American singer-songwriter Tom Waits is not an easy task. I am thrown between calling him controversial, bizarre, or brilliant (Lady Gaga move aside…). And I still haven’t decided whether or not I like his music. I believe, it may be an acquired taste.
