They're back. The Ex-Husbands new album is titled "All Gussied Up," and contains 13 swaggering, brand new tracks, along with a cover of Bill Monroe's "Uncle Pen," and 2 tracks featuring a drunk preacher's sermon. What more could you ask for? Singer/guitarist/songwriter Anders Thomsen, the object of so many ladies affections, backs up the Gussy-ness with an unforgettable, booming country baritone and a couple of hands which were built specifically for the Telecaster. Michael Howard Smith bangs the drums and looks perfect, as usual. Mark Miller, in addition to making his singing debut here ("Flat Broke in Hoboken," "All is Fair"), is about a killer a bass player and joker that you'll find, and every now and then he'll have a beer with you and let out a yelp.

It's been a lucky 13 years since the Lonesome Brothers formed in Northampton, MA, they have become the region's most beloved band, hands down. Jim Armenti, (who has written and performed with Cheri Knight, and also plays clarinet in a Klezmer band!), Ray Mason (the godfather of western Massachusetts rock 'n' roll!) and Bob Grant (drummer extrordinairre and game designer) blend the elements of pop, the brashness of rock, the quirkiness of bands like NRBQ and Commander Cody, and a little dash of honky-tonk on their brand new album, "Diesel Therapy," which features backing vocals by Cheri Knight. See why they're such a well-kept secret up in our little nook of the country.

Like a blast of air to an exposed cavity comes Man, It's Cold, the second album from Martin's Folly. With creepier creeping, it's Martin's Folly all over again, only more so. On the frozen banks of the mighty Hudson, as ice flows plied the midwinter current, Martin's Folly and producer Eric "Roscoe" Ambel huddled in a barn and endeavored to isolate the essential activating agent of this music. A live, stripped-down, Wurlitzer piano laced sound was called for, and the breakdown into elements was, for the most part, affirmative. It's a place and time hereby made replicable, and the response of a natural organism. Maybe even yours.

Good 'ol super-delicious pop music describes King Radio best. Led by ex-Scud Mountain Boys bass player Frank Padellaro (guitar/vocals), King Radio pumps out the pop music to varying degrees of rump kicking. You've got your hand-clapping rockers like "I-95," you've got the organ- frantic- high -speed- plane- crash -song "DC-10," and better than a tobacco spittin' baseball pitcher's curveball, a piano ballad about big people called "King of the Food Court." Top notch songwriting and even some orchestral arrangements can also be found here. A mish-mash of pure genius.
