...band Whiskeytown, writes songs that have the passion of youth and a melancholy that one might think would be beyond his years. Sometimes he sounds like the old Bruce Springsteen; other times he sounds like a new Hank Williams. Adams' last album, Heartbreaker (2000), was released on a small label, and few fans heard it. His new CD, Gold (due out Sept. 25), is his major-label debut and should win him the larger audience he deserves...
...hoping that trend holds for three giants who have died in the past six weeks. Music Club has released John Lee Hooker...Is Hip: His Greatest Hits by the legendary Mississippi blues guitarist.

Thaksin benefits from being one of the country's richest men, with a fortune estimated at more than $1.2 billion and interests in sectors ranging from cell phones to satellites...

Flipping it open you expect to find a catalogue of radio parts, but instead get sucked in by the new-old-fashioned penwork of Matt Kindt. He relies on just a few, expressive strokes and flat blocks of black ink to create the art deco world of "Pistolwhip."
