If “Page One” is This Good, Then I Can’t Wait to Read the Rest!

(please forgive my awful puns) I’ve said it before…the moment I became a Barenaked Ladies fan for life was when I went with my ex to see theĀ  band at Jones Beach in 2001. The entire show was good, but what impressed me the most was that singer/songwriter/guitarist Steven Page had a hell of a set of pipes. By the end of the show, I was wondering why this guy wasn’t on Broadway or performing with the opera. Although I […]

New Release Report 10/19: Welcome to Sundown

After a couple of blah weeks, the quality of releases picks up a little bit with this week’s offerings (at least I think so). Here are the albums to watch for the 10/19 release date.

Barenaked Ladies Turn the Page with "All in Good Time"

If you’re a band, it goes without saying that losing a member will have an incredible impact on your band dynamic and sound, especially when that member is a founding member and one of your lead singers. That’s the position that Canadian pop/rock band Barenaked Ladies found themselves in when Steven Page abruptly left a year or so ago. While the band’s biggest hits were performed by co-founder/co-lead vocalist Ed Robertson, to me Page was the face and voice of […]

BNL, Badu and Usher: Win, Win, Win??

It’s been a pretty quiet March for new music, but opposite to what people normally say about this particular month, it’s going in like a lamb and out like a lion in terms of new music. Here are three albums coming out today that I’m looking forward to. Barenaked Ladies “All in Good Time”: I’m curious to hear what these guys sound like without Steven Page. The fact that BNL is known to a segment of the population as a […]
