...things won't be so bad in Canton, N.Y. this year. The Saints (27-8-1, 16-3-2, 1st) will still score a ton of goals, led by seniors Erik Anderson (14g, 25a) and Al Fyfe (17, 18). Coach Joe Marsh will have the team play an up-tempo, attack-oriented system, which will contrast sharply to the defensive style that most of the conference plays...
When Greenberg presented the idea, group leader Isiah Taylor, 50, rejected it. He thought the song was too Caribbean for the American charts. He was probably right. The original version was a soca (soulful calypso), a horn-heavy, up-tempo form that is played at Caribbean carnivals across the U.S. every summer but has never really caught on. When Baha Men finally recorded Dogs, they explored beats more familiar to American audiences--throwing in some junkanoo (Bahamian festival music) percussion to give it their signature flair.

The grinding, nasty groove of "Dirt" was transformed into an almost soulful rave-up with horns, and as with the other up-tempo selections, the band came off sounding like Booker T. and the MGs in the year 2100.

Like Shania Twain, Hill loves showmanship: one of the up-tempo numbers on this album is called Bringing Out the Elvis. But while Twain often comes across as gimmicky, the songs on Hill's new album--though none aspire to great art--are tastefully rendered. Hill even serves up a romantic cover of a Bruce Springsteen song, If I Should Fall Behind. As you listen, it's hard...
