...Though album opener and lead single “All My Life” is clearly informed by grunge’s grimy sense of grievance, Grohl’s voice is distinctly smoother than Cobain’s, at least until he looses his trademark, teeth-baring howl. One By One is a rock album far more than a grunge hangover, from the glammy sheen of “Have It All” to the bluesy solo on “Come Back...
...this Aug. 16 is the 25th anniversary of the King's death, a commercially overdriven event that's sure to set off a howl of commentary about the King as American tragedy, as vulnerable transgressive, as daring racial-boundary breaker, as revolutionary synthesizer of musical styles, and on and on.

Neither he nor Steve Allen had ever...
...it’s all about her; there isn’t much to be said of her backup vocalist, except that his howl-like yodels were a little ridiculous. LP’s most jarring contradiction lies in the fact that she doesn’t sound the way she looks. She opened the set with a blasting rock and roll number, “Love Somebody,” complete with a driving beat and a whole lot of attitude. The weird thing, though, was that despite the undeniable dynamism of her performance, LP didn?...
