The Real Thing
The talented Christian music trio pureNRG—teenagers Caroline Williams, Carolyne Myers and Jordan Yates—debuted in 2007 and has since fed its growing fan base with a second studio album, a Christmas project and a remix collection.

Postcards
Perhaps the most captivating aspect of Toronto-based Beyond the Pale's new album, "Postcards," is the group's ability to blend Jewish klezmer music with a variety of Eastern European folk music.

Falling for You
Colbie Caillat's voice exudes warmth on "Falling for You," an upbeat pop track that's hitting AC radio and just earned the singer her highest debut on the Billboard Hot 100.

Here We Go Again

Got Nuffin
Emerging from a two-year silence since the 2007 album "Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga," the indie rock heavyweight Spoon returns with a three-song EP, the title track of which is perfect for cruising the local strip on a warm summer night.

American Central Dust
Son Volt explored its ambitious side on 2007's "The Search," but the material on "American Central Dust" finds the Jay Farrar-led outfit downshifting to revisit the more straightforward approach of the alt-rock band's 1995 debut album, "Trace."

Trust
Keyshia Cole's latest single, currently rising on the Billboard Hot 100 and the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart, marks a comeback of sorts for fellow R&B vocalist Monica.

Nothing Personal
All Time Low's third full-length album plays like a veritable pop-punk frat party—"Stella" is a bouncy, booze-fueled anthem and "Lost in Stereo" tells a tale of unrequited love.

The Dandy Warhols ARE Sound
The Dandy Warhols' 2003 album, "Welcome to the Monkey House," was the band's experiment in '80s synth-rock, and with Elavedo's touch, the razor-sharp, reflective edges of the album's space-age cogs are smoothed and rounded in this altnerate version.

Beautiful
Part confessional and part "Lose Yourself"-style motivational anthem, "Beautiful" encapsulates the schizophrenic nature of "Relapse" but deviates from the shock tactics that dominate the album.

Fish Outta Water
"Fish Outta Water" may lack the demographic-tripping vibe that even a Jurassic 5 in turmoil could whip up, but it's a mostly winning debut that makes up in vocal prowess for what it lacks in hooks.

From Yucatan to Rio

Disfarmer
The music of omnivorous guitarist Bill Frisell reflects an eclectic range of influences, including Thelonious Monk, John Hiatt and Boubacar Traore.

Horehound
The debut album from Jack White's new rock band the Dead Weather finds the White Stripes and Raconteurs frontman every bit as able on the drums as he is on guitar.

Leave This Town
"American Idol" graduate Chris Daughtry established himself as a hard-driving rocker with his band's 2006 multiplatinum debut album. Daughtry's ferocious growl is still the centerpiece of "Leave This Town," but the band has also taken a few creative risks.

No Doubt -- Concert Review
"Hella Good." That's the title of the futuristic funk workout No Doubt performed early in its 90-minute-plus set Wednesday at the Gibson Amphitheatre, but it also effectively summed up the quartet's performance.

Nelly Furtado's "Manos Al Aire," the first single off her upcoming Spanish-language debut, "Mi Plan," is a mix of gritty acoustic guitars and dance beats.

Electric Dirt
Much like Bob Dylan's "Together Through Life," Levon Helm's "Electric Dirt" is less a collection of songs than a fully formed little world.
