...Long So Wrong ought to be Krauss's sellout album--the one where she signs with a big label, paddles in the pop mainstream, does a Streisand duet, maybe has a few cuts produced by Babyface. But Krauss is a constant lass: she's been with Union Station and Rounder Records since she was a 14-year-old fiddle phenom (she's now 25). The new set has no guest shots or power-pop charts. It's just 48 minutes of beautiful music...
...ALISON KRAUSS Now That I've Found You (Rounder). With this greatest-hits CD, the mass audience found Krauss, a fiddle and viola prodigy with a soprano voice as clear and invigorating as a mountain stream.

...Boys on the Side, an all-female set featuring songs by Annie Lennox, Melissa Etheridge, Bonnie Raitt and Sheryl Crow, hit the Billboard Top 10. Some of these singers are also represented on Women for Women, with part of the sales money destined for breast-cancer research. In September, Rounder Records will release Global Divas, a three-CD set of the premier thrushes in world music; some proceeds will go to the United Nations Development Fund for Women. The Portuguese sextet Madredeus, featuring ethereal vocals by Teresa Salgueiro, gets a handsome showcase in Wim Wenders' new film, Lisbon Story...

Add no substitution except for injuries. Finally, toss in strategy, a lot of running and a bit of kicking, and you have a sketch of what rugby...
...bring Hollywood into the aura of Thomas Jefferson without losing individuality. He sculpted the Reagan pompadour to more modest dimensions but kept the slightly unruly wave up front, suggesting a man of flair, but disciplined. George Bush needed less attention than the others, but Pitts found that a slightly rounder cut helped soften Bush's lean face. When Bush lost the l992 election, Milt was chagrined. There had to be some other factor, he reckoned, worrying that Clinton's mod, over-the-ears hair had turned the tide, though Pitts was convinced Clinton's hair was not short enough...
