Monte Montgomery Monte Montgomery Eminent Records By Al Kaufman Monte Montgomery is an extraordinary guitarist. Of that there can be no doubt. One need just listen to his tremendous instrumental cover of Jimi Hendrix’s “Little Wing” to understand that. It is powerful enough to make a grown man weep. Montgomery is also adept and writing […]

The Dead Weather Sea of Cowards Third Man Records By Chris Homer The Dead Weather pick-up where they left off on last year’s debut, Horehound, on their latest album, Sea of Cowards. The album doesn’t stray far from the heavy, distortion soaked, blues-rock Jack White’s super-group established on their debut. Of course, this shouldn’t detract […]

The Flaming Lips & Stardeath and White Dwarves Dark Side of the Moon Warner Brothers By Al Kaufman To call Pink Floyd’s Dark Side of the Moon a rock and roll classic is an understatement of gargantuan proportions. One in 14 people under the age of 50 have owned a copy at one time. It […]

It’s definitely no mission impossible: five seconds into La Roux’s “Bullet Proof” and feet began tapping all over the AMG office; 10 seconds into the song heads were nodding and before the minute mark a disco ball […]
Minus the Bear Omni Dangerbird By Al Kaufman Minus the Bear have grown up. Gone are the frat boy-like titles such as “Hey, Wanna Throw Up?” And while their fourth release, Omni, contains some of the frenetic melodies that encompassed earlier CDs, it mostly contains listener-friendly grooves and jams. They’re memorable jams, but just a bit […]
