THESE DAYS VINCE GILL For three decades, Gill has been country's Gary Cooper--a heroically modest pro's pro, with a range that extends from earnest ballads to really earnest ballads. This four-disc set of 43 original tracks, all of which Gill wrote or co-wrote, is downright Garthian in its ambition--and it changes everything. Each disc covers different musical terrain--bluegrass, jazz, Southern rock, country--has well-cast guests (Bonnie Raitt shines) and reveals Gill as an astonishingly dexterous guitar player and singer.

Born in England, where his father was employed as a broadcaster for the BBC, Fraser migrated to Auckland when he was 14 and spent much time with his Fijian grandmother, who lived in the same Mount Roskill house until her death in 1990. While working as a cinema supervisor through the '90s, the aspiring playwright penned his aptly titled second play-and the one-woman show, with nine characters spanning three generations, proved to be the little one that roared. First performed in 1999, Fraser's love letter to his grandmother toured...
...shaking up the French political scene. As you must know, this country has survived much more dangerous shaking--political and otherwise. And although Royal is quite right in declaring that one should not have to be "sad, ugly and boring to go into politics," what about being modest...
