STREET DOGS
From a gang led by a tough guy who once left the Dropkick Murphys to fight fires in Boston, a brutish Irish Catholic hooligan-rock funeral wake even more off-key than the Murphys themselves — yet rousing enough to raise glasses high to regardless. More »
MILEY CYRUS
After a piano intro knocks on heaven’s door, Hannah’s alter ego aches like a grownup, twanging through a pop-country power ballad where she accepts all blame for being alone again. In the sound, you can hear the dusty room closing in. ... More »

HOTSTYLZ
Comedic Chicago rappers Krayzee, Raydio G and Meatball constantly speed their insults up and slow them down again, while packing countless pop-culture references into four minutes: Don Imus to Pepé Le Pew, Valtrex to Bernie Mac, David Ruffin to Lam More »

Loudly driving his ‘74 Telecaster and Randolph’s pedal steel down the highway, the septuagenarian blues giant gets crass, chugging as if he’s auditioning for Bachman-Turner Overdrive: Gotta keep movin’ if you wanna make a buck. More »

BOB DYLAN
Recently posted online to promote Dylan's new Website and forthcoming Tell Tale Signs: The Bootleg Series Vol. 8, this track is the first studio outtake heard by Dylan fans since unused cuts from Oh Mercy surfaced in the Nineties. ... More »

HACIENDA BROTHERS
Sung with deep gravity by Chris Gaffney, who died of liver cancer in April, country-soul about a deserter at Leavenworth or prisoner at Guantanamo or soldier in a pointless war, set to desolate desert twang worthy of Ennio Morricone. More »
DAVID BANNER
