...sticker on the cover of You Are Here labels Cary Pierce as co-founder of Jackopierce, but it would be a mistake to use Pierce's former title to define his debut solo album. On You Are Here, Pierce eschews his college cult status in favor of straight-from-the-heart acoustic-based rockers. The album crunches into its opening track, "The Best Thing," with a funky ferocity that nevertheless shows off Pierce's soulful voice and harmonics, while "Transatlantic" is a true tear-the-top-off rocker. There are quieter moments as well: with the assistance of hometown friend...
McTeer and Brown also get a little help from some great supporting players. Gavin O'Connor, also in his debut performance, is good as the frustrated, traditional trucker Jack; kudos also to Jay O. Sanders, for his sensitive portrayal of Dan, and some great scenes with Brown's character Ava.

After all, they're young, dreamy and entirely unoriginal what more could you want...
...solo albums of exceptionally beautiful tunes and casually caustic commentary on the pitfalls of romantic relationships, Mann, 39, has remained a cult-size pleasure. Timing has been her enemy. Whatever, her fine 1993 solo debut, came out just as her label, Imago Records, hit the financial skids. Her next album, I'm with Stupid, languished in legal limbo until Geffen Records released it--two years late. And early this year it looked as if the curse might strike again: as Mann neared completion of a new work, Bachelor No. 2, Geffen merged with Interscope Records, whose executives ordered her back...
