HOT TRACKS LISA ROBINSON

This month: see free CD. page 343. Ryan Adams'! "This House Is Not for Sale" is one of the best songs from his celebrated body of work. Joseph Arthur's "Can't Exist" displays the melody, mood, and mastery that is the metier of this important artist. Jill Sobule's "Freshman" is clever and wistful. The Roots' "I Don't Care" (the clean version) is catchy, organic hip-hop. Steve Earle furthers political dissent with "The Revolution Starts Now." Country music's hot new star Julie Roberts sings the emotional "If You Had Called festerday." Marc Broussard's "Home" showcases the young Louisiana native's extraordinary voice. Patti Scialfa's "State of Grace" is an exquisite ballad. The Jayhawks sparkle with "All the Right Reasons." Sonic Youth shows the influence of Neil Young on "Unmade Bed." Nellie McKay takes a swipe at women who stay home and read Danielle Steele on the sophisticated "I Wanna Get Married." Keane's "Sunshine" is gorgeous and Beatles-esque. Producer Jack White assembled a rootsy group of musicians for Loretta Lynn's down-home "Mrs. Leroy Brown." Tift Merritt's "Shadow in the Way" sounds like the Rolling Stones circa Exile on Main Street. Ricky Fante's "My Song" establishes him as a major young soul singer. Montreal native Sam Roberts won Canada's prestigious Juno award for terrific rock songs like "Brother Down." Jamie Cullum's "All at Sea" shows why he's all the rage in the U.K. for his Frank Sinatra-style ballads. When you've loved and lost the way Frank has, then you know what life's about.
