Notable Releases: February 28, 2006

It’s generally a slow release week, but here are a few highlights:

Rhett Miller's The Believer

Rhett Miller, The Believer

You might know him as the lead singer and songwriter for Old 97’s. This, his second solo outing, mines familiar Old 97’s territory: an acoustic-based mix of pop and alt-country with clever lyrics.

Bruce Springsteen, Hammersmith Odeon, Live ‘75

Bruce is beginning to rival Mick Jagger with his business acumen,; Jagger having attended the London School of Economics. This double disc is the audio version of the dvd included in last year’s Born to Run 30th anniversary edition. We’ll call it Exhibit B in Springsteen’s claim for the lifetime live performance achievement award.

    […] There’s no question this week. Hands down its Rhett Miller lead singer of the Old 97s. His second solo effort is outstanding. If you don’t “believe” me, trust Mayer or listen for yourself. Album contributors include guitarist Lyle Workman (Sheryl Crow, Beck), drummer Matt Chamberlain (Pearl Jam, Tori Amos, David Bowie), multi-talented Jon Brion (Kanye West, Fiona Apple), keyboardist Patrick Warren (Aimee Mann), Rachel Yamagata and adding a final touch of greatness, Gary Louris of The Jayhawks on background vocals.

"Let's see, I got to bed around 4:00 and got up at 7:30. That's all a real man needs, right? This next five minutes is gonna count though, it's what makes the difference between me sounding like an ass and sounding like a genius." -- Jamie Cullum on naps (Live At Blenheim Palace DVD)
