...their homage-packed soul songs prove they left their hearts in Motown. The Tonyies, who are all in their 20s, evoke past greats such as the Jackson Five with vibrant vocals and melodies, but they never settle for mere imitation. Radio is rotten with musical hacks who fake the funk with computer- generated beats, but the Tonyies are a real band, with real instruments, who have succeeded in bringing the art of R.-and-B. songwriting back to the future...
...goal, kick the ball back into the goalie box. Crusaders goalie Keith Bauer stopped the initial shot but could not hold on to the ball, and Altcheck was there to finish up.

...Morning Jacket establishes a vastly different record from 2003’s guitar-rock-oriented “It Still Moves.” As the track draws to a close, singer/guitarist Jim James channels Elton John’s howling vocals over a tight soul-funk rhythm. The most remarkable thing about James’ trademark voice is that he does not even need to sing actual words for his songs to feel meaningful, nor do his lyrics need to be particularly creative. Much of the album recalls songs such as the sprawling “Cobra?...
