O'Connor: Sean-Nos Nua</small></a></td><td valign="top"><small>Sinéad O'Connor's first
studio record since 2000's Faith and Courage takes her far into her Irish heritage
with 13 traditional songs dusted off and set to new arrangements. Accompanied by
stellar Irish and English-based musicians such as Donal Lunny (guitar, bouzouki,
keyboard, bodhran, bodhran bass) and vocalist Christy Moore, O'Connor, who also
coproduced, casts a hypnotic spell, making the old songs resonate with pulsing rhythms
and sounds. Such contemporary treatment takes nothing away from the austere splendor
of the material--in fact, this often seems a mystical recording just recovered from
some ancient vault. Whether pining over unrequited love (("Peggy Gordon") or bemoaning
the plight of a soldier who fled the Irish wars, only to be conscripted under Abraham
Lincoln in the War Between the States ("Paddy's Lament"), O'Connor delivers an
intimate and thoroughly mature performance, her whispered voice occasionally giving
way to a primal scream. Melancholy to the core and astonishingly beautiful. --Alanna

Bounce</small></a></td><td><small>One of the few lineups to make the leap from 1980s
"hair band" into long-term semi-respectability, Bon Jovi's eighth studio album is
somewhat true to the band's pop-metal roots, though Bounce is ultimately mellower and
more theatrical than previous outings. "Undivided" might be a Tom Waits number, all
gravelly vocals and booming drums hinting at a dark hipness before kicking into a
commercial, lush chorus. Still, it's got a pleasing edginess, as does the toe-tapping,
mechanized feel of "Everyday." Jon Bon Jovi's forays into film have clearly influenced
Bounce. "You Had Me from Hello," the title nicked from Jerry Maguire, is spare,
poignant, and gentle, while "The Right Side of Wrong" references Butch Cassidy and the
Sundance Kid and has a piano-heavy Springsteen-meets-Billy Joel feel. Typical ballads
like "Joey" and "All About Loving You" also populate the album, which often feels like
a singer-songwriter outing, or a movie soundtrack, rather than an album by a veteran
rock band. Some of Bounce's bouncier tunes may still appeal to the now-middle-aged
fans of the band's "Livin' on a Prayer" era, while the melodrama marking much of the
album might lose those who prefer headbanging over Bon Jovi's more mellow and
grandiose musical musings. --Katherine Turman

Doors</small></a></td><td><small>George Winston cites the Doors as a seminal influence
on his music in the liner notes for the 20th anniversary edition of Autumn. Winston is
a voracious musical explorer, and the Doors are among several musical tributes Winston
has rolling around in his head. He's already paid homage to pianist Vince Guaraldi
with Linus and Lucy. Winston's take on the acid-rock shamans is sometimes magical,
sometimes regretful. It's no secret that George isn't a great technician, and you can
hear the flaws whenever he remains true to the melody, especially replicating Robbie
Krieger's guitar lines. But some songs are just perfect for Winston, notably "Crystal
Ship," which he expands into a gorgeous meditation. Winston mixes the hits, including
"Light My Fire," with some eccentric personal choices like "Spanish Caravan" and "My
Wild Love." Ardent Doors devotees may cringe, but Winston fans will find a home here.
