...musicians here are generally not superstars, although such nationally known acts as Soul Asylum and the Mississippi Mass Choir do make appearances. And a few of the performers featured deserve a shot on Leno or Conan O'Brien, chief among them the spirited New Orleans hip-hop brass band Soul Rebels. Most of the acts on River of Song, however, seem content with local renown. They display a commitment that's deeper than celebrity: for them, music isn't simply a means to acquire wealth or fame; it's a method of preserving traditions and a way of life...
...comings. You've heard "Get Back" all over the radio. That's them. Around since summer of 1996, when Greg Bergdorf (guitar), Justin "Goldtoof" Maurello (vocals, guitar), Ben Osmundson (bass), Ed Udhus (drums) and Ali Tabatabaee (rapper) jammed so well together they decided to depart their other bands and become the best Orange Country band of the 1997 L.A.

At the other end of the President?s gravity-defying approval numbers is a band of perhaps 25 percent of Americans who firmly believe Clinton is a career criminal who should have been impeached and removed long ago. But when the New York Times went looking for this steel-jawed minority, it also found Clinton?s worst fear: a subset of those job-approval groupies that nevertheless finds the scandal -- and the President himself -- a wearisome embarrassment and wants him to resign. They...
...HEPCAT Right on Time (Hellcat) This nine-member band, based in Los Angeles, plays old-school ska with sweet vocals and warm, gentle horns. The songs, many of them genial ballads and jazzy instrumentals, breeze by, carefree but never insubstantial. This is an album that makes you dream of the Caribbean, or of dancing under starlight, or perhaps both...
