...evening with a solo performance of folk, jazz, and rock. She said in an interview after the show that female musicians face additional challenges. “There’s a lot of pressure as a woman artist—from how you look, to how you sing,” Tuttle said. “As a woman in this industry, it is so important to have a sense of camaraderie with other female artists.” The weekend’s concert was a way of promoting this sense of fellowship and of encouraging women...
...country music. Atypically celebrating the joys of “real love,” Williams excels in getting our hearts pumping and ready for the rest of the exciting tracks on the album. This contrasts with her 2007 release “West,” where she sings primarily of unrequited love and other hardships.

In their dress-up uniforms, they're an exotic-looking bunch: wearing kilts, playing bagpipes, sporting tam-o'-shanters with a red feather. This Scottish army regiment seems out of place in Iraq, transferred from Basra to bolster U.S. troops bogged down in the "triangle of death" near Baghdad. But their plainspoken, Highland-accented gripes about the war have a familiar ring. "You're no' really doing the job you're trained for," says one soldier...
