Doobie Brothers Are still Relevant After All These Years
November 3, 2010 – Most bands from the seventies that are still hitting the road seldom see the inside of a recording studio. Maybe they don't have the juice anymore? Perhaps some of these old dogs don't feel they have to – a large catalogue can do that. MORE

A Disappointing Return for Sade
REVIEW - Sade – Soldier of Love
June 16, 2010 – There’s always been an understated value to everything that Sade does and sameness to her entire repertoire. That quality of old wine has served the singer/band well… until now.
