Neil Young — Dreamin' Man
Dec 20, 2009
Neil Young
Album: Dreamin’ Man
Label: Reprise/Warner
Rating: ****
Winnipeg-raised Neil Young can’t do anything wrong, even when he releases his least exciting live album to date. Dreamin Man was recorded in 1992 and features every song off Harvest Moon. In terms of the singer-songwriters’ live discs, it’s not...

Gucci Mane
Album: The State vs. Radric Davis
Label: Warner

Alicia Keys — The Element of Freedom
Dec 17, 2009
Alicia Keys
Album: The Element of Freedom
Label: J/Sony Music
Rating: ****
If there’s one musician other artists should envy it’s Alicia Keys. She’s easily one of the most talented artists around, and continues to improve with every record. Her latest is an intensely passionate record about broken hearts, loneliness...
