Natacha Atlas & the Mazeeka Ensemble
2008 release recorded with the Mazeeka Ensemble, Ana Hina is new direction for Middle Eastern music icon and singing sensation Natacha Atlas. The album finds Natacha exploring a more traditional roots world, again infusing Oriental and Western music but looking to the past to uncover a rich history of musical collaboration. Working with top British musical director and arranger Harvey Brough, the band features outstanding musicians from around the globe and from different musical backgrounds. In the specially created arrangements, locked in the embrace of this exciting band, Atlas's voice is heard as never before, a priceless jewel in a rich and eclectic setting. World Village.

Artist:
Bob Dylan
Two discs of music don't exactly provide for a thorough overview of four decades of recording, particularly if the subject of the retrospective is one of the most important and prolific performers of his time. So The Essential Bob Dylan definitely skates over the leagues-deep oeuvre of Dylan, summarizing his monumental first half-dozen years in disc one and skirting over the following 34 years in disc two. Delving into Columbia's three Dylan greatest-hits packages (though curiously purging "I Want You," a genuine hit single in its day), Essential offers only a few surprises, opting for The Basement Tapes version of "Quinn the Eskimo" over the Self Portrait remake that made it onto Greatest Hits Volume II and tossing in "Things Have Changed" from the Wonder Boys soundtrack for completists. But this 30-track overview is designed with newcomers, not Dylanologists, in mind. --Steven Stolder

Artist:
Colbie Caillat
Colbie Caillat's dusky vocals and laid back rhythms have earned her critical acclaim and 2 million albums sales since the release of her debut album COCO last July. The story of Caillat's myspace rise is well known by now; the power of the site and her legion of fans (Over 25 million!) netted her a record deal, huge sales, a Top 5 album debut and three hit singles (so far) with the ubiquitous "Bubbly", the follow-up "Realize" and the current single "The Little Things". "Bubbly" and "Realize" were both Top 5 hits at Top 40 and Hot AC and "Little Things" is currently Top 20 at Hot AC and climbing quickly. This deluxe edition includes 7 additional tracks. Featuring new, live, alternate mixes and even a few cover versions (Tell Him - Lauryn Hill, Turn Down Your Lights - Bob Marley and Brand New Me - Dusty Springfield). The Deluxe Edition will be packaged in an 8 panel digipak that will also include an 8 page color booklet. The booklet is filled with personal photos, taken over the past year, of Colbie, her friends, family and band.

Artist:
Amos Lee
Though Amos Lee's music is frequently described as a fusion of folk and soul, such an equation fails to reflect the singular artistry of this impressive debut. Like labelmate Norah Jones (who guests on two cuts), the Philadelphia singer-songwriter recognizes the power of simplicity, distilling an emotional essence that cuts across categories. The opening of his "Seen It All Before" echoes Bob Dylan's "Knockin' on Heaven's Door"; the stunning "Arms of a Woman" channels Otis Redding's "I've Got Dreams to Remember"; "Give It Up" cuts a classic Bill Withers groove; "Black River" has the sound of an age-old spiritual; and the closing "All My Friends" follows Van Morrison into the mystic. Throughout the song cycle, the bare-bones arrangements behind Lee's vocal flutter reinforce an organic unity that transcends genre. For all of the debts he owes to the music of the 1960s and '70s, the results sound timeless rather than retro. In his cautionary "Soul Suckers," Lee sings that "nothing is more powerful than beauty in a wicked world"--and proceeds to prove it. --Don McLeese

Artist:
Laura Marling
2008 debut album from the young British Folk singer/songwriter who will appeal to fans of Kirsty Maccoll, Linda Thompson and Kate Nash. Although not legally old enough to buy a drink, this darling of the Art-Folk circuit has been selling out clubs and garnering critical acclaim. Her gentle Folk songs are haunting, cool and personable. With talent to back up the critical hype that is just beginning, Marling is savvy enough to have released an album that stands tall above the other female singer/songwriters on the scene today. 12 tracks including the single 'Ghosts'. Virgin.

Artist:
Odetta
"These songs could not have happened in Africa alone, or in the United States alone. They are the result of the experience of slavery." So explains gospel-folk matriarch Odetta in the liner notes to this exceptional 13-song holiday collection. The esteemed diva wraps her rich, full voice around an astute assortment of reverent standards such as "Go Tell It on the Mountain" and "Rise Up Shepherd and Follow," fleshing out the album with less-familiar fare. Spare bass and percussion bedecks these spirituals, but not much accompaniment is required when Odetta is playing guitar and singing. --Steven Stolder

Artist:
Dan Fogelberg
Dan Fogelberg's first Christmas album is a smartly informed collection of familiar holiday hymns, carols, and deliciously original music inspired by the Renaissance period. The standard interpretations such as "I Saw Three Ships" and "O Tannenbaum" prove satisfying and enjoyable. "At Christmas Time," a Fogelberg original, sounds as if it were lifted from Dickens's A Christmas Carol, while the peaceful and bright "Winterskol" and other simple guitar pieces make The First Christmas Morning a truly great holiday find. Extra points to Fogelberg for unearthing such beautiful music as the 15th-century carol "This Endris Night." Recommended. --Martin Keller

Last night while I lay thinking here
Some Whatifs crawled inside my ear
And pranced and partied all night long
And sang their same old Whatif song:
Whatif I flunk that test?
Whatif green hair grows on my chest?
Whatif nobody likes me?
Whatif a bolt of lightning strikes me?...
