...replace Seinfeld in the 9 p.m. slot on Thursday? Frasier is the most likely candidate. Along with Friends and Mad About You, it is one of NBC's strongest comedies, and it appeals to male viewers, as does Seinfeld. The Cheers spin-off followed Seinfeld when it made its debut in the fall of 1993 and actually attracted more viewers. Right now, it may not be reaching as big an audience as it could, since it goes up against ABC's Home Improvement on Tuesdays...
...Alana Davis Blame It on Me (Elektra) A fresh and uncommonly rich fusion of blues and folk-pop, Davis' debut is a stunningly mature work for a songwriter of just 23. Combining the twang of Bonnie Raitt and the soulfulness of Tracy Chapman, Davis uses her serene voice to breathe light and life into songs, creating a captivating, genre-bending sound...

J-men'll keep it close. Take the points...
...number of radio stations and fans all over. But to many music consumers, country remains a quaint taste, one that registers only with the rare fluke hit (remember Achy Breaky Heart, the Macarena of the summer of 1992?) or novelty act (LeAnn Rimes, who was 13 when her yodeling debut album, Blue, rose high on the pop charts last year). Even in the core regions CD sales are flat, and a malaise--or at best, a wait-and-hope--grips the industry. Three of Billboard's top six country albums last week were greatest-hits collections. That's too much...
