Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band $8.87 Before Sgt. Pepper, no one seriously thought of rock music as actual art. That all changed in 1967, though, when John, Paul, George and Ringo (with “A Little Help” from their friend, producer George Martin) created an undeniable work of art which remains, after 30-plus years, one of the most influential albums of all time. From Lennon’s evocative word/sound pictures (the trippy “Lucy in the Sky Wi…

Spirit $5.48 Winner of Britain’s “The X-Factor,” Leona Lewis debuts with a mix of pop and R&B. She is blessed with a vocal range that’s so versatile, in songs like “Better In Time,” that one may immediately compare her to Mariah Carey or Beyoncé Knowles, especially in “The First Time I Ever Saw You.” It’s not Lewis’s fault that her voice doesn’t distinguish her from these stars, but her producer, Simon Cowell…

A Place to Land [Bonus Tracks] $18.99 Little Big Town scored big with its second album, 2005’s The Road to Here, thanks to the chart topping single “Gone.” Karen Fairchild, Kimberly Roads Schlapman, Jimi Westbrook, and Phillip Sweet’s meld rootsy contemporary country with acoustic and electric instruments and vocal harmonies inspired by Fleetwood Mac proved irresistible. A Place to Land is superior to its predecessor in every way: production feels more organic, the music is more sophisticated, and the lyrics more poignant. Perhaps the real secret to the success of this quartet is its secret weapon in behind-the-boards fifth member Wayne Kirkpatrick. Kirkpatrick is the band’s producer and songwriting partner. He’s chief guitar picker, and plays just about anything with strings, as well as the clavinet and B-3. If the sound on The Road to Here is reminiscent of Fleetwood Mac’s glory years, A Place to Land drinks deeply from the well of the entire Southern California scene from the mid- to late ’70s. It’s not all regurgitation either. Little Big Town’s sound is rooted deeply in traditional, organic country music. Their songs meld seamlessly with the vocal harmonies that evoke vintage Crosby, Stills & Nash and the Eagles earliest records. While the album’s opener, “Fine Line,” literally rings with Lindsey Buckingham’s chord progressions, choruses, and arranged vocals (? la “Go Your Own Way”); it’s open rock & roll territory with one exception: the verse structure has enough hard country to rise above that influence. They distinguish themselves a bit more on the album’s road-weary first single, “I’m with the Band.” Its beautifully paced B-3, electric guitars, and big cracking drums, Dobro, banjos, and mandolin are woven into a beautiful road song. The Eagles get melody-checked in “That’s Where I’ll Be,” but the harmonies here could only be better if Bernie Leadon and Timothy B. Schmit joined in for six-part harmony. The acoustic guitars rise and fall, keeping a steady rhythmic chatter that serv…

Anar $15.98 Being in a band with Glen Hansard can’t be easy. He’s a magnetic frontman, the kind of musical black hole whose charisma and supersized vocals seem to suck the light out of everything else on-stage. As one half of the Swell Season, though, Mark? ta Irglov? quietly held her ground, yielding the spotlight to her partner whenever he wanted it but rarely disappearing into the background. Now, with the Swell Season on the back burner and her relationship with Hansard downgraded to “friends only,” she makes her solo debut with Anar. Left to her own devices, Irglov? clings to a delicate mix of singer/songwriter piano tunes and adult contemporary ballads, most of which prize ethereality above genuine pop hooks. Brushed percussion and gobs of background vocals help beef up an otherwise sparse sound, and some of the better songs pit Irglov? ’s piano against a backdrop of thick, vintage-sounding horns. Even at its most ornate, though, this album never manages to bring its maker out of her introverted shell. Irglov? always worked well as a foil to Glen Hansard — she was the calm to his frenzy, the cool-down to his catharsis — but she’s too subdued on her own, and Anar’s pretty, gauzy ambience makes an impression without leaving a real impact. ~ Andrew Leahey, Rovi

Blood of the Nations $15.98 The last time there was a new studio album from German headbangers Accept, it was 1996, and heavy metal was quite possibly at an all-time low — completely ignored by MTV (Headbanger’s Ball was off the air), and forget about radio. But the album in question, Predator, did include longtime members Udo Dirkschneider, guitarist Wolf Hoffman, and bassist Peter Baltes. Fast forward ten years, and vintage metal was in a much healthier and happier state, with bands from the ’80s experiencing an undeniable resurgence in popularity. So what better time for Accept to dust off their Flying V’s and rock once more? Only one catch — Udo declined the reunion this time around. Undeterred, Hoffman and Baltes decided to soldier on, re-enlisting former Accept guitarist Herman Frank (who left the group in 1984), drummer Stefan Schwarzmann, and former T.T. Quick singer Mark Tornillo. The “new look Accept” issued their first studio album in 14 years in 2010, Blood of the Nations, and musically, the group has created an album that certainly measures up well to their early- and mid-’80s glory days. Vocally, hearing anyone besides Udo in Accept will take some time to get used to — especially for long-time fans — but hang in there, and you’ll discover that Tornillo is certainly a worthy replacement. “Tough and heavy” is a straight-to-the-point description of such tunes as the ass-kicking album-opener “Beat the Bastards,” as well as “Teutonic Terror” and the heavy duty title track. Producer Andy Sneap (known for working with the heaviest of heavy metal bands) successfully brings Accept sonically back to the metallic roar of their glory days throughout Blood of the Nations, resulting in an impressive return of Germany’s second best-known heavy metal export of all time. ~ Greg Prato, Rovi
