Nicole Atkins- Mondo Amore-***1/2

Renata Rosa- Zunido da Mata- ****
(New discovery courtesy of pmac and his blog Kingston To Rio. Fantastic record. Beautiful and joyous Carnival sounds. This is her debut.)

Os Mutantes- A Divina Comedia Ou Ando Meio Desligado- ***1/2
Sister Nancy- One, Two-***1/2
Johnny Osbourne- Truths And Rights- ****1/2
Dwight Twilley- Scuba Divers (Blueprint Edition)-****
Todd Rundgren- The Birchmere, Alexandria: 2/4/03- ***1/2

Renata Rosa- Manto Dos Sonhos- ***1/2
(Much different than the debut. This one seems to cover a lot of different world music, from Indian raga to Italian funeral. Interesting spin. Enjoyed the debut more.)

Ian Hunter's Overnight Angels- ****1/2
Elvis Costello & The Attractions- Goodbye Cruel World-****
Rod Stewart- Never A Dull Moment- ****

Your thoughts are the same as mine re Rata. Still, it was nice listening to something as adventurous as her most recent release.

I agree. The second album wasn't a bad spin at all. If I had heard it first and not the debut, I may have raved, as well. It was just unexpected.

4 stars for Goodbye Cruel World—love it! It’s the production that brings that album down. There are some good songs buried in the mix. I saw Elvis and the lads on that tour. It says a lot that he was playing So You Want To Be a Rock ‘N’ Roll Star then.

I got to see Elvis and Steve last month. Really good show, and Elvis was in mostly fine voice. Still going at 70!
