LETTER FROM THE EDITOR:
here's more to Russell Crowe than the actor playing a gladiator or whistleblower or policeman. In fact, the Australian screen star is also a musician, a member of the folk band Thirty Odd Foot of Grunts.
The pages of music history are crammed with more couples and intra-band coupling than a Vegas wedding chapel at midnight. That crazy little thing called love is directly responsible for the existence of more bands than could ever be assembled for even the most comprehensive of Rhino box sets.
Mali has given the world more than its share of great male recording artists, but in the capital of this poor, dry West African nation, women singers dominate the airwaves and the busy cassette stalls.
Also, a review of k.d. lang's new summer album, the memoirs of an ex-groupie, a session with psychologist-musician Lucy Kaplansky, and more.
