Dig

I Mother Earth

Capitol

A riff-heavy new band from California. Braiding strands of '60s hard rock/psychedelic music and '90s funky-metal/grunge they emerge with a unique sound that's all their own. Nine of the twelve songs last five minutes or more, so be prepared to crank the knob to "loud" and leave it there. (SC)

 

Summerhill

Dieter Ilg

Lipstick

An extraordinary bass player from Europe. Although not well known over here, the musicians assembled for his American debut, Mike Stern, Bob Berg, Randy Brecker, Jim Beard and Peter Erskine, indicate that he's already made a name for himself in jazz circles. You'll play this disc more than once. Tasty. (BB)

 

Bright New Day

Inclined

Chaos

Blending rock, funk and jazz, this new band, featuring Miles Tackett, the son of occasional Little Feat guitarist, Fred Tackett, jumps on the current funk/rock bandwagon with varied results. The jazz leanings help a bit, but overall the songs sound similar and won't hold your attention for too long. (CS)

 

Infidels

Infidels

I.R.S.

What we have here, Ladies and Gentlemen is a "Heart" for the 90's with as much initial fire as the originals. If they remain true to course, Melissa Etheredge should keep an eye on her behind. The torch they bear will be passed on to the next generation with fervor. (SC)

 

The Power Of Great Music

James Ingram

Warner Brothers

A greatest hits package from a powerful balladeer featuring three new songs. If you buy one James Ingram album make it this one. All will be in one slick package without having to pick through his average catalog. Great for weddings and other family gatherings, "Yah Mo Be There." (SC)
