Bob
Dylan "The Bootleg Series Vol. 4: Bob Dylan Live 1966" and
Bruce Springsteen "Tracks,"
reviewed by Robert Levine
New collections from Bob Dylan and Bruce Springsteen confirm what
bootleggers
have known for years -- that these artists have been sitting on some of
their best work
(even if they didn't think so) (11/11/98)
Beck "Mutations,"
reviewed by Jeff Stark
Another record where Beck "turns shit to gold"; constantly
churning through forgotten pop movements, the folkie alchemist
resuscitates late '60s Brazillian jazz, hayseed country and orchestral
easy listening (11/11/98)
Seal
"Human Being," reviewed by Michael E. Ross
This pilgrim's progress continues in the previous elegant, winning
style, but on Seal's latest song cycle of the human conundrum, the
world makes him wanna holler and throw up his hands (11/11/98)
