...Comparisons could be made with José Feliciano, the Puerto Rican singer-guitarist who had 1960s hits with stylish remakes of songs like California Dreamin' and Light My Fire. But Ponnudorai is better. His ability to dice songs up, look into their hearts and perceive the common veins connecting every genre has won the attention of top international players who go to Singapore on tour. Harmonica virtuoso Toots Thielemans, drummer Billy Cobham, guitarist Tommy Emmanuel and vocalist Bobby McFerrin have all been in the audience.

...band’s last album with its original lineup. And just like that movie’s earthshaking, jeep-terrorizing T-rex, their new album, “Beyond,” is badass. After 1989, the band was like a revolving door of musicians, with vocalist and guitarist J Mascis remaining the only constant member. Fortunately, the original trio of musicians that made up Dinosaur Jr.—Mascis, Lou Barlow, and Emmett “Murph” Murphy—have reunited on “Beyond,” capturing much of their...
