CD reviews: The Jonas Brothers, Johnny Flynn, Elvis, Paul Westerberg, Randy Newman, Lloyd
The soulless critic in me wants to tear the eternally grinning Jonas Brothers apart, laying waste to those three tween magnets whose music is inexplicably beloved, annoyingly omnipresent and tirelessly promoted. The guilty-pleasure-pop consumer in me has a little more difficulty lowering the boom — and no, it’s not because the Jonas Brothers are now sort-of neighbors with their recently ...

CD Review: Glen Campbell 'Meet Glen Campbell'
Pop/countryGlen Campbell "Meet Glen Campbell” (Capitol)When Rick Rubin helped Johnny Cash reassert his place in rock Valhalla, he set a standard for rehabilitating great artists or legitimizing singers sidelined by irrelevance or kitsch. Glen Campbell's best album in at least three decades, "Meet Glen Campbell,” is not a Rubin production but follows the template, assembling nine left-field ...

PopErnie Halter "Starting Over” (Rock Ridge Music)With much of the attention paid to the neo-blue-eyed soul movement lavished on big-voiced British songstresses Duffy, Adele and Amy Winehouse, Californian Ernie Halter's smooth vocals offer the potential for a welcome change of pace. Unfortunately, the soul tracks prove the weak points on "Starting Over,” Halter's third album in three years. ...

DVD releases leave a lot to be desired
It sounds like a great pitch: The 1980s were a decade of great music and great movies. And now, VH1 — the cable network that seems to be obsessed with pop culture — brings you some of the best '80s films on DVD. What's good about them? They were good fun movies, some of them great. Take "Ferris Bueller's Day Off” — a classic movie that holds up really well today (except for Ferris's awful beret, ...
