...should be enough to quiet some of their critics. At the very least, they’ve crafted one of the most enjoyable albums of the summer. The Hold Steady have built up and filled out their sound with varying levels of success. “Sequestered in Memphis?? thrives on fuzzed-out guitar and stuttering horns, and “Slapped Actress” succeeds through the dichotomy of delicate piano and a massive guitar line. In contrast, “Navy Sheets” suffers under the weight of up-front New Wave keyboards...
...that was this new idea he had.” says co-producer Tara L. Moross ’09. Bolman’s “new idea” was to set Shakespeare’s classic tale of mistaken identity and pursuit of love on Memphis??

Two such groups share a stage this Friday, when...
...final act, “Memphis,” features jazzy piano and slinky ballerinas in jean skirts and bandannas. The feminine confidence and grace with which the dancers pull “Memphis?? off is reminiscent of the similar group effort in “Giselle.” This striking similarity—despite the dichotomy between the two pieces—drives home the point that even when dressed down, ballet is by no means obsolete...
