  Sugar - Copper Blue (Rykodisc CD VRCD 10239)

If there's any justice in this world, Sugar will meet with the same sort
of success and acceptance that Sonic Youth,  Nirvana and Helmet have met
with.   Mould's years with Husker Du and some good solo albums have laid
a foundation that Sugar's "Copper Blue" continues to build upon.   Sugar
is a full-tilt rock outfit,  more akin  to Mould in the Husker days than
his more recent,  more pop-ish,  solo  outings.   That's not to say that
Mould is trying to  reinvent Husker Du - Sugar has  its own identity and
its own agenda.  You are the aural beneficiary.

  Branford Marsalis - I Heard You Twice The First Time
                      (Columbia CD CK 46083)

This  latest  Branford   Marsalis  Release  explores  a   good  deal  of
traditional ground - B.B.  King,  John  Lee Hooker and Linda Hopkins all
contribute vocals to tracks that meld jazz  and blues - though in rather
non-traditional fashion.  All of the tracks explore facets of the blues.
From the spiritual, elemental, chain gang chant ("Berta, Berta")  to the
modern,  stinging  blues guitar  of Russel  Malone ("Rib  Tip Johnson"),
Marsalis and  his crew cover  a very  wide blues territory  while adding
their own  jazz touches.    These tracks  vary in  personnel,  from  the
Hurst/Watts/Marsalis bass/drums/sax  trio to  the eight  member ensemble
that supports Linda Hopkins on "The Road You Choose". The B.B. King (#2)
and John Lee Hooker (#4) tracks both add a raw blues touch to Branford's
basic jazz quartet.

  John Gorka - Temporary Road (High Street CD 72902 10315-2)

John Gorka has  an incredible voice.   He's also  a talented songwriter.
His use of language,  combined with his expressive voice,  allows him to
create vivid images  for the listener.   His latest album  is once again
filled with images from his  slightly-off-kilter imagination.   He's not
quite as left-of-center as Suzanne Vega  or as wacky as Christine Lavin.
He does have  a good observation point  from which he is  able to survey
his surroundings and convey them to others in song.  His current vantage
point has given him a wider perspective - songs on this album cover more
worldy topics than his previous works.   Each album has seen Gorka reach
a little further away  from himself as he explores the  world around him
in song.

  Jarboe - 13 Masks (Sky CD)

Swans had a major label deal before Sonic Youth did.  If things had been
handled differently, they would've had the same success that Sonic Youth
is enjoying now.   Swans (and singer Jarboe) have gone back to the Indie
world.  Since stardom has not ensued, Jarboe and Swans have gone back to
making interesting,  eclectic  music that appears to  appease their muse
rather than  look for  an audience.    Jarboe's first  solo album  moves
effortlessly  between   nearly-ethereal  vocals   and  nearly-industrial
sounds.   Such a  combination might seem schizophrenic,   but Jarboe and
cohorts (among  them Swan Michael  Gira,  Jim Thirlwell  <Foetus>,  Tony
Maimone <Pere Ubu>) make it look/sound easy and smooth.

  Mark Curry - It's Only Time (Virgin CD V2-86290)

Curry   falls   somewhere  between   Springsteen/Mellencamp   and   Kirk
Kelly/Roger Manning.   As he's on a major label, the production is a tad
on the  slick side,  though  by no  means glossy.    After  listening to
Curry's lyrics and hearing his attitude  come across via his music,  I'd
say  he has  a little  in common  with anti-folkees  Kelly and  Manning.
These  are  anti-folk  songs  embellished   enough  to  give  them  some
legitimacy in the pop world.   Good stuff!   Check out "All Over Me" and
"Sorry About the Weather" or the harder edged "Blow Me Down".

  Sonny Burgess - Tennessee Border (Hightone CD HCD 8039)

Sonny Burgess originally  recorded for the famous Sun label  back in the
1950's.   The 1990's find him with plenty  of fire and energy.   This is
rockabilly at its finest.   If you want  to hear where Mojo Nixon or the
Stray Cats picked up some of their sound, just check this out.

  Dalton Reed - Louisiana Soul Man (Bullseye Blues CD BB 9517)

This is an  album of blues firmly rooted in  southern gospel/soul.   The
most striking instrument on the album is Reed's voice.  His voice evokes
images  of the  very  smooth  Robert Cray  or  even  B.B.  King  at  his
smoothest.  Soulful, moving stuff.  Check out "Blues of the Month Club",
"Read Me My Rights", "I'm Only Guilty of Loving You" and "Full Moon".

  The Falling Joys - Psychohum (I.R.S. CD X2-13151)

Falling Joys are a fuzzy-guitar-based band from Australia.   Their songs
are catchy  and just edgy enough  to hold your interest.    Oddly enough
they remind  me a little  of a cross between  Too Much Joy  and Concrete
Blonde,   though the  female  singer  doesn't really  resemble  Johnette
Napolitano.   There's  a mix of male  and female vocals.   I  prefer the
tracks with female leads.

  Pato Banton - Universal Love (I.R.S. CD X2-13156)

This is  Pato Banton's best album  since 1988's "Never Give  In",  which
contained the excellent "Don't Sniff Coke".   His past couple of efforts
reached out, but grasped little but air.   "Universal Love" catches hold
firmly and takes  root.   Pato's own roots  (Birmingham,  England)  have
intertwined  with  his Jamaican  muse,   giving  his reggae  a  slightly
different flavor than that of the island.   If this floats your boat, go
back and check out "Never Give In".

  Smashing Orange - (American Native CD 7001)

Smashing Oranges  sound as if  they've spent a  little time at  the Neil
Young school of ambience.  Their use of distortion and their fuzzy sound
make this a  palatable listen for anyone  who listens to Young  or Sonic
Youth.   Smashing Oranges are not as  inventive as either Young or Sonic
Youth, but they do provide a good listen.  I suggest tracks #1, #3 & #5.
