| MARY
LEE'S CORVETTE about
the band |
Mary Lee’s Corvette’s “Love
Loss and Lunacy” chosen by Billboard magazine critics as Top
10 album in 2006. Check out the list:
- Dixie Chicks, "Taking the Long Way" (Open Wide/Columbia).
A proud, unafraid and unapologetic response by a historic group
to a historic injustice.
- Rosanne Cash, "Black Cadillac" (Capitol). Intense
album from a most intense artist at her most intense.
- Kris Kristofferson, "This Old Road" (New West). "Sing
a sadder song of freedom...."
- Nellie McKay, "Pretty Little Head" (Hungry Mouse/spinART).
Second double-disc set confirms initial finding of extraordinary
talent.
- Tony Bennett, "Duets: An American Classic" (RPM/Columbia).
Octogenarian Bennett made newcomers like Paul McCartney sound
equally venerable.
- Mary Lee's Corvette, "Love, Loss, and Lunacy" (Western
Force). Another lesson from Mary Lee Kortes in tunefully
concise songwriting.
- Alan Jackson, "Like Red on a Rose" (Arista). Bold
artistic move for the country superstar in producer Alison
Krauss's intimate, jazzy setting.
- Lisa Gemano, "In the Maybe World" (Young God).
But definitely one of preternatural, if not peaceful beauty.
- Vienna Teng, "Dreaming Through the Noise" (Zoe).
Exquisitely atmospheric, piano-based pop.
- New York Dolls, "One Day It Will Please Us to Remember
Even This" (Roadrunner). Now's the day to remember even
this pioneering band.
