Ben Harper sounds good on paper. He's a 24-year-old Californian devoted to vintage acoustic guitars, original political songs and the unusual blend of calypso and Mississippi Delta blues--an inspired blend of David Lindley, Tracy Chapman, and Taj Mahal. Unfortunately, Harper's execution of this original conception on his debut album, „Welcome to the Cruel World,” is distinctly underwhelming.
Harper's singing is the biggest problem. He mumbles his vocals with so little articulation and within such a narrow range that he makes Bob Dylan sound like Al Green by comparison. Moreover, Harper's overall performance is so low in energy that he makes the laid-back Cowboy Junkies sound like the Sex Pistols. His songwriting and guitar picking reveals hints of a modest talent, but they aren't nearly special enough to compensate for the narcotic effect of his singing. The heavy-handed Rodney King song, the adaptation of a Maya Angelou poem and the broken-hearted love songs are more likely to recall Chapman's disappointing second album rather than her exhilarating first. --Geoffrey Himes

With the rich, bluesy vocals of Darius Rucker and gleeful harmonies of guitarist Mark Bryan, bassist Dean Felber and drummer Jim Soni Sonefeld, Hootie & the Blowfish have sold over 25 million records worldwide to date after their infectious melodies hit the airwaves in 1994 with hits such as Hold My Hand, Let Her Cry and Only Wanna Be With You. The quartet met at the University of South Carolina where endless gigs at frat houses and local bars built a major local buzz. Their blend of pop, folk, blues, soul and rock made them hard to pigeonhole, but easily accessible to anyone who loved good music. The band remained a top draw nationwide and released five more albums for Atlantic: Fairweather Johnson, Musical Chairs, Scattered, Smothered & Covered, Hootie & The Blowfish and The Best of Hootie & The Blowfish, as well as Looking For Lucky on their own Sneaky Long Records and LIVE in Charleston, The Homegrown Concert Event DVD and CD. The band took a break from full-time touring in 2007, reuniting annually for a variety of philanthropic events while also pursuing solo projects. 2019 marked the band's first full-time touring year in over a decade as they embarked on the Group Therapy Tour ahead of Imperfect Circle, their first album in nearly 15 years due out November 1 under a new record deal with Universal Music Group Nashville.

MTV Unplugged in New York je záznam akustického koncertu kapely Nirvana. Deska vyhrála v roce 1996 Grammy. Kapela na koncertě hrála jen přibližně polovinu vlastních písní, zbytek byly coververze písní od interpretů, jako jsou The Vaselines, Meat Puppets, David Bowie nebo Lead Belly.

Vydání alba Let It Bleed bylo nejen pro Rolling Stones jedním z nejdůležitějších hudebních momentů šedesátých let. Deska Let It Bleed, která vyšla v roce 1969, je podle kritiků i mnohých hudebních nadšenců jedním z nejlepších a nejpodstatnějších rockových alb historie. Album obsahuje hity, jako je Gimme Shelter, Midnight Rambler a You Can't Always Get What You Want. Hudební kritik Jann S. Wennner popsal jednotlivé skladby jako znepokojující, scenérii jako nesmírně ošklivou a sám Jagger přiznal, že Let It Bleed bylo ovlivněno válkou ve Vietnamu.
