Let It Roll: Songs By George Harrison (CD) ~ George Harrison Cover Art
The Woodstock Experience (CD) ~ Various Artists Cover Art
The Very Best Of (CD) ~ Don Henley (Artist) Cover Art
Varshons (CD) ~ The Lemonheads (Artist) Cover Art

1.  Let It Roll: Songs By George Harrison (CD) ~ George Harrison
Let It Roll is the first George Harrison anthology to contain songs from his entire career, including live recordings from his time as lead guitarist in most critically and commercially successful group of all time, The Beatles.

2.  The Woodstock Experience (CD) ~ Various Artists
In commemoration of the 40th anniversary of the celebrated 1969 music festival, Sony/Legacy has brought out a deluxe box set, including key albums by each of five famous acts featured at Woodstock: Santana, Jefferson Airplane, Janis Joplin, Sly & the Family Stone, and Johnny Winter.

3.  The Very Best Of (CD) ~ Don Henley (Artist)
Anybody in the market for a good Don Henley compilation will find this satisfying, as it has all the big hits from BUILDING THE PERFECT BEAST and THE END OF THE INNOCENSE.

4.  Varshons (CD) ~ The Lemonheads (Artist)
Although covers albums can be the last resort of an artist who has run out of ideas, the Lemonheads' Evan Dando has chosen an eclectic and obscure enough track list to sidestep that issue, and he imbues his renditions with a rootsy sound all his own. G.G. Allin's "Layin' Up with Linda" is transformed from a punk screed to an old-fashioned murder ballad, while Green Fuz's garage-rock classic "Green Fuz" is smoothed out, slowed down, and given a moody reading worthy of Jim Morrison. A fairly straight version of Townes Van Zandt's dark "Waiting Around To Die" is a highlight. Producer Gibby Haynes (Butthole Surfers) keeps things simple, and lets Dando's deep and burnished voice, and the quality of the songlist, shine.


Next Big Thing

SARAH JAROSZ

Seventeen years old and already turning the heads of critics, producers, and session musicians alike, Sarah Jarosz is not only a jaw-dropping talent but a multidimensional one as well. Her voice is clear and sweet, her mandolin playing has been good enough for long enough that she has memories of jamming on-stage with David Grisman and Ricky Skaggs at age twelve, and she plays guitar and clawhammer banjo. Her debut is not a bluegrass album, though it seems likely that it will end up in that section of the CD store. The songs are all originals, except for covers of the Decemberists' "Shankill Butchers" and Tom Waits' "Come on Up to the House." Some of her original compositions sound remarkably ancient, such as the vinegary and modal "Tell Me True"; others are bitingly topical, such as "Broussard's Lament" -- a song that, for all its indirectness, can only be intended as a sharp commentary on the government's bungling of the rescue and recovery effort following Hurricane Katrina. Her instrumental compositions are complex but sweetly lovely, and her twin-mandolin interplay with Mike Marshall on "Mansinneedof" is especially impressive in both its pleasant accessibility and its mature sophistication. Her acoustic arrangement of "Come on Up to the House" expresses all of the original's bluesy swagger but tempers it with a more refined sense of Southern hospitality.
