New Releases Tuesday (9/27)

Ryan Adams & The Cardinals- Jacksonville City Nights (Lost Highway) Some people accuse Adams of being huge arsehole, but no one can accuse him of being lazy. This is yet another full-length album of new material from Adams and word on the street is that it's his most straightforward country album to date. Blackalicious - The Craft (Anti-) Gift of Gab and Chief XCel are back for their 3rd LP and first for Anti-...making them label mates with Tom Waits and Nick Cave?!? Features guest appearances by George Clinton, Floetry, Lateef The Truth Speaker, and Pigeon John. Go! Team - Thunder, Lightening, Strike (Columbia) After a long delay, the Go! Team's debut album is finally available domestically. All Music Guide sez: Thunder, Lightning, Strike, is a refreshing blast of Day-Glo bubble-dance-pop that could crack a smile on even the most frozen of faces. Brad K. sez: Yeah...this is alright, but I don't get what all the hype is about??? And what's up with the poor sound quality? I've heard homemade CD-Rs that sound better than this. Also new this week...
