Still the Same Bob Segernew
There’s little doubt that Seger’s dogged entrenchment in rock radio rotations has worn out a sizable portion of his catalog in the ears of many, but the impassioned treatment they’re given live by Seger and his 13-piece backing band restores some of the authenticity stripped away by thousands of plays per day.

Loretta Lynn Gives All That Can Be Asked of Hernew
She sang “Here I Am Again” with a note of demonstrative vulnerability, and immediately assumed an air of imposing self-assurance for “You Ain’t Woman Enough (To Take My Man),” all while seated in a chair completely swallowed up in the billows of her gown.

Kid Rock: Back in Greensboro for the First Timenew
He’s the product of clever branding, commitment to a formula and endearing to a common denominator, and judging from his Feb. 22 show at the Greensboro Coliseum, Kid Rock knows damn well on which side of the “Go big or go home” paradigm he sits.

Sweatin to the Aughties: Girl Talk Feeds the Animals in N.C.new
Even the most hyperliterate reviewer couldn’t craft a more effective précis of what takes place at a Girl Talk show than what is conveyed through a single snapshot immediately after the dance music maven relinquishes control of his crowd.

J. Cole: Friday Night Lightsnew
“Never sold a rock and look I made it, bitch.” In an album full of severe pronouncements, perhaps none ring out with more ferocity than the statement J. Cole makes on “Before I’m Gone.”

Named After Vonnegut, But Sounds More Like Tucker Maxnew
In spite of the band essentially being a combination of everything unlikeable about Maroon 5 and Young Jeezy, Vonnegut still managed to parlay their tenuous connections into a favorable association with the second greatest emcee in all of the Dirty South.
