Lucero: Women & WorkLucero Women & Work ATO Records [2012] Fire Note Says: Lucero return with the polished Women & Work . Album Review: Lucero changed things up on their last record 1372 Overton Park [2009] by adding in horns, upping the production and mellowing a bit on their previous punk side. This slight shift in style continues on Women & Work as Lucero present some of their most mature sounding tracks to date. This will not necessarily play well with longtime fans as Women & Work does not contain the same edge that their earlier material once possessed. This is not to say that the 11 songs ...The Fire Note20 March 2012

SXSW Band of the Day: Rhett MillerAlt-country mainstay Rhett Miller has been making music on his own, and with his band The Old 97's for over twenty years now. His music combines the stories and instrumentation of country music with alternative rock sensibility, sounding at times like a combination of Johnny Cash and Nada Surf. Miller's unmistakable voice comes through loud and clear on songs like "I Need To Know Where I Stand" and "Our Love."BaebleMusic13 March 2012

Soundtrack from Seasons 2, 3, and 4: Scrubs ..After looking back at Seasons 2, 3, and 4 of Scrubs , a few things stick out to me. One is how I always wanted to hit a golf ball off the roof of a building (Season 2, Episode 16). The other is the relationship between important life changes and music. Life-altering events are often accompanied by certain songs, and Scrubs producer Bill Lawrence is well aware of this fact. As we watched J.D., Turk, and Elliot grow up a little bit as doctors (don’t worry, immaturity still runs rampant), tender moments are highlighted with some great music.

Scranton, Pennsylvania is not only the home of the TV show The Office and Joe Biden, it has also bred Mike Quinn, a musician who has a tasteful and quirky grasp on post-country americana. Mike Quinn’s album Magico is an onion being peeled, if you will. The stories are intriguing and sometimes humorous. They’ll leave you wondering if the lyrics are some sort of a self-narrative or just a creative mind ...indie shuffle30 January 2012
