  Lucid Culture — Authority: 470
  Gabriel Sullivan knows a lot of styles and he’s adept at them.

• Music Review: Miranda Lambert – Revolution

  
  Twang Nation — Authority: 121
  The pride of Lindale, Texas continues to defy all expectations. When every other country artist on the chart is a chirpy little blonde singing lines from her 9th grade journal. Lambert, writing or co-writing all but four of the album’s 15 tracks, waves her classic country pride flag but amps it way up instead of the ...

• CD Review: The Wiyos – Broken Land Bell

  
  Lucid Culture — Authority: 470
  Their best album. It’s amazing how much energy the Wiyos get out of a couple of acoustic guitars, harmonica and upright bass – and to their further credit, the quality of the songs and the playing here transcends the presence of a human beatbox. Cross-pollination is usually a good thing, but this time it is not, ...

• Concert Review: Frankenpine at Lakeside Lounge, NYC 10/14/09

  
  Lucid Culture — Authority: 470
  In case you don’t know what a frankenpine is, it’s a cellphone tower designed to look like a pine tree. “There’s one on the Merritt Parkway, and it looks more like a mascara brush,” Frankenpine’ s frontwoman Kim Chase scowled as she explained her band’s name to the impressively good crowd who came out ...
