CD reviews
-
Melody Gardot, The Absence (Decca) ****
WHAT a silky and sultry affair this is, as Melody Gardot weaves a nomadic gipsy spirit through her usual blues and jazz fare. The subtle change in direction delivers intoxicating world music that shimmers with erotic spice. read more

Kenny Rogers, Faith (Hump Head) ****
KENNY ROGERS always had the air of a cross between Grizzy Adams and Santa Claus, and that was good. read more

-
Carolina Chocolate Drops, Leaving Eden (Nonsuch) ****
WHAT a lively, foot-stomping pleasure this is: 15 tracks of American folk, with touches of the blues – good old-time music given a modern shake. read more
