After keeping the Stones’ recent live tours from completely falling off the rails, guitarist Ronnie Wood has issued a vast and enjoyable compilation of his personal best. The two-disc, 27-track collection contains his solo work and group work. Disc one is all solo beginning with the reggae-tinged “I Can Feel The Fire” featuring David Bowie on backing vocals while “Cancels Everything” is a mellow, roots-y tune with Keith Richards helping out.

The latest offering from acclaimed British singer-songwriter Thea Gilmore isn’t that far of a departure from her Avalanche or Songs From The Gutter releases – full of quality songs and equally high levels of musicianship.

It’s a movie about a rock ‘n’ roll lifestyle, but there are no VH1 “Behind The Music” moments here – unless you consider shopping for organic vegetables as crazy as thrashing hotel rooms after orgies.

Chris Farlowe and Van Morrison are in a class by themselves when it comes to British soul, but James Hunter seems to be scratching at the door containing those stars.

or the first time in years, Ani DiFranco recently took some time off, as the touring grind was finally wearing her down. Following a live album (Carnegie Hall 4/6/02) released earlier this year, DiFranco has returned with Reprieve.
