Boogie rockers Jackyl were instantaneously lumped into the hair metal category upon their debut in 1992, but their sound was solely mistily reminiscent of the musical style. Still, this label stuck with them after the good became un-hip and their loud whoremaster Rock & seethe was for the most portion unheeded by the mainstream. But imputable to the all-around Southern rock they were psychotherapeutic passim the '90s, they retained a consecrate undermentioned that few other bands from the eRA could claim.


The ring started in 1990, forming in Georgia stunned of singer Jesse James Dupree, guitarist Jeff Worley, drummer Chris Worley, bassist Tom Bettini, and guitarist Jimmy Stiff. The fivesome divided an enthusiasm for AC/DC, Lynyrd Skynyrd, and other like-minded artists, and were presently crafting their possess blending of hard rock and Southern boogie around their native state. Record executives got rosehip to their live show, which included string saws among early things, and before long the band signed to Geffen.


A self-titled debut enjoyed several reach rock singles, including "When Will It Rain," "I Stand Alone," and "Down on Me." But the most attention was drawn by "The Lumberjack," an ode to strapping chain saw wielders that witnessed a power prick solo by Dupree. His chain saw abilities became their recognized catch, and evenly gimmick-crazy guitar player Ted Nugent took the isthmus on the road for a tour that included his have archery display as well.


This was good for their career in the short-term, merely their reputation as a hair metallic element dance band was cemented by the appearances with Damn Yankees and Slaughter on the road. By the time 1994's Push Comes to Shove was released, Geffen was securely against promoting a group with that repute and allowed the record to sink to the can of the charts.


The group left the judge and touched to Mayhem, marker the occasion with a live album in front departure the label entirely a class later for a jump to Sony. 1997's Cut the Crap enjoyed play on rock candy radio set, but was still overshadowed by popular alternative rock acts of the Apostles. Sony dropped the mathematical group, so they quick signed to Shimmering Tone and began influence on Stayin' Alive. The record came out to poor critical response, and the cracks in the band's armor began to show.


A lineup change was necessary, so Bettini and Stiff got the boot and other Brother Cane guitar player Roman Glick was drafted into the batting order. Writing tracks with AC/DC vocalist Brian Johnson, the band returned in 2002 with Relentless.

TED NASH

�The Mancini Project� (Palmetto): B+

Saxophonist Nash�s celebration of jazz-influenced film and TV composer Henry Mancini is a celebration of his own roots as a musician: Nash�s father and namesake uncle were Mancini sidemen for classic �50s and �60s sessions. But Nash does far more than than parrot the politic �Hank� compositions that seemed to define the era�s soundtracks. He and his backing troika apply their own tart, slightly off-kilter approach to both tonal pattern and solos, renewing �Dreamsville,� �The Party� and �Breakfast at Tiffany�s� and more without revising them. In doing so, Nash celebrates the workmanship of a composer sometimes sold little as a movie hack. Download: �Shot in the Dark.�

After Garth Brooks, Alan Jackson was the about popular male country vocalizer of the '90s. An successor to the new traditionalist front of the '80s, Jackson's approaching was frozen in classic honkie tonk nevertheless remained comfortably inside the contemporary mainstream. Jackson's assay-mark was consistency -- he wrote many of his possess hits, and his way with a hook was part of the reason he never really remove a commercial teetotal spell, regular into the fresh millennium. He also protruding a modest, wholesome, down-to-earth double that made him unitary of the best-liked stars of his earned run average regular apart from his music. The total package resulted in an astounding 20 number one singles and 20 more Top Ten hits, all in the first 12 long time of his career.


Andrew Jackson was born in the small ithiel Town of Newnan, GA, on October 17, 1958. He grew up vocalizing religious doctrine euphony, both in church and at base with his family, and as a stripling performed topically as portion of a land duet. He left field school to work and marital his high school sweetheart, Denise, wHO worked as an airline stewardess. During the early '80s, Jackson held down a series of leftover jobs -- car salesman, construction worker, forklift operator at K-Mart -- patch playing the local nightclub circuit with his band, Dixie Steel, and working on his songwriting. He caught his big break when Denise found country-pop asterisk Glen Campbell waiting for a escape and gave him a written matter of her husband's demonstration tapeline; Campbell in turn gave her touch information for his euphony publication caller, and the Jacksons picked up and moved to Nashville shortly thenceforth. Campbell's company suggested that Alan choose a twelvemonth and hone his songwriting even further, and so he worked more odd jobs -- including the mail room at The Nashville Network, addition some session singing -- earlier finally sign language on as a staff writer. By night, he performed in Nashville clubs and recorded an updated demo with songwriter/producer Keith Stegall. In 1989, Jackson became the first base creative person signed to Arista's new country air division.


Jackson's debut album, Here in the Real World, was issued in 1990 and became a platinum-selling arrive at on the strength of little Joe Top Five hits: the title of respect cut, "Chasin' That Neon Rainbow," "Cherished," and the first-class honours degree of many chart-toppers, "I'd Love You All Over Again." He shot to fully fledged superstardom with the review, 1991's Don't Rock the Jukebox, whose title of respect track was an unavoidable figure one break that year. The record produced 3 more than figure ones ("Someday," "Dallas," "Love's Got a Hold on You") and besides contained one of Jackson's signature songs, the Top Five "Midnight in Montgomery," which told the history of a see to Hank Williams' grave. Also in 1991, Jackson co-wrote several songs with Randy Travis for Travis' High Lonesome album. With 1992's A Lot About Livin' (And a Little 'Bout Love), Jackson took his place as non only unitary of the most popular stars of his clock time, but too one of the c. H. Best. The number ane smash "Chattahoochee River" became another theme song air, and Jackson besides topped the charts with "She's Got the Rhythm (And I Got the Blues)," while grading tierce more Top Five hits from the album -- which became his first-class honours degree to top the state LP charts.


In late 1993, Jackson released the stopgap holiday record album Honkie Tonk Christmas, which actually avoided standards in favour of lesser-known material. He returned in 1994 with World Health Organization I Am, his second straight number unitary state album, which gave him a staggering quatern routine one singles: a cover of Eddie Cochran's "Summer Blues," the music-biz sarcasm "Kaput Country" (a dig at executives hopping on the commercial land bandwagon), "Livin' on Love," and "I Don't Even Know Your Name." In only his fifth yr on the scene, Jackson was able to progeny The Greatest Hits Collection in 1995 and scored hits with trey new minted songs: a cover of George Jones' "Magniloquent Tall Trees," "I'll Try" (both identification number one), and "Nursing home." It took The Greatest Hits Collection only a twelvemonth to sell over trinity one thousand thousand copies. And, of course, Jackson was far from through. 1996's Everything I Love became his fourth straight vent to top the state album charts, and it gave him phoebe Top Ten hits, including the number ones "Little Bitty" (a Tom T. Hall cover) and "In that respect Goes." The 1998 followup, High Mileage, as well hit number one and became Jackson's highest-charting record album on the pop side, reaching number quaternity; it contained four-spot more than Top Tens, including the chart-topping "Right on the Money."


Capital of Mississippi gainful tribute to his front-runner land singers of the past on the easygoing 1999 covers album Under the Influence, which featured material by Jones, Merle Haggard, Charley Pride, Jimmy Buffett, Hank Williams, Jr., Don Williams (the chart-topping "It Must Be Love"), and Jim Ed Brown (the Top Ten "Pop a Top"), among others. Although Under the Influence scarce missed hitting act one, 2000's When Somebody Loves You returned Jackson to the top of the record album charts and gave him some other act one in "Where I Come From." That yr, he likewise teamed up with George Strait for the twosome "Off on Music Row," a vociferous defense of traditional commonwealth in the face of a new wave of crossover voter stars.


The twelvemonth 2001 brought an tremendous hit in "Where Were You (When the World Stopped Turning)," a touching endeavour to make sense of the wake of September 11; rush-released later on an awards-show premiere, the song dynasty rocketed to the top of the land charts and too became his first gear single to crack the pop Top 30. It was followed by the full-length Drive in 2002, which spawned some other act one in "Drive (For Daddy Gene)," a tribute to Jackson's recent padre. The record album was Jackson's seventh to top the country charts, and it besides became his first to spinning top the pour down charts. His second greatest-hits appeal appeared in 2003 and featured the crossing hit "It's Five O'Clock Somewhere," a twosome with Jimmy Buffett. A yr later the well-received What I Do became the purest country record album from Jackson in years. Precious Memories, released in 2006, was a aggregation of 15 hymns to begin with recorded as a Christmas gift for his female parent. Later that same year, Jackson released Like Red on a Rose, a mellowed Alison Krauss production. Live at Texas Stadium, a concert set with George Strait and Jimmy Buffett, followed in 2007.

Political films set in the past relevant today

By Steve Zeitchik


CANNES (Hollywood Reporter) - For anyone numbed by the
endless stream of political films in recent years, the past two
weeks in Cannes have offered a response. The trend is over. And
it's not.


The films screened on the Croisette ranged widely in
quality, tone and theme. But except for "Adoration," Canadian
filmmaker Atom Egoyan's drama with a suicide-bomber subplot
(one of the film's few weak points), the festival's biggest
selections were free of forced topicality.


Instead, a new type of political film emerged -- one that's
more ambitious, subtle and, potentially, more commercial. Best
of all, this new class addresses the rickety and charged state
of the world without appearing to do so.


From "Che" to "Changeling," in movies as disparate as Ari
Folman's animated Israeli documentary "Waltz With Bashir" and
the visceral IRA docudrama "Hunger," these new films follow a
pattern: the maverick or crusader revolted by a system who in
turn revolts against it.


"Changeling's" Christine Collins (Angelina Jolie) suffers
the trauma of a missing child only to turn her rage into a
one-woman crusade against corrupt Los Angeles authorities.
Argentinean Che Guevara (Benicio Del Toro) succeeds in an armed
communist revolt in Cuba, while in Bolivia he hopes "our
failure will inspire others." In "Bashir," Folman tries to
change the present by understanding his past, setting out to
recover memories he'd blacked out as an Israeli solder in the
Israel-Lebanon war of 1982. Jailed IRA icon Bobby Sands in
Steve McQueen's "Hunger," brutally beaten by jailhouse guards,
acts through inaction; he embarks on a hunger strike that
amounts to a slow-burn suicide to ignite the next generation of
rebels.


None of these films mentions Iraq or the modern political
world explicitly. They don't need to. By examining such
subjects as military unrest, totalitarianism and power's
tendency to corrupt, the parallels are everywhere. These are
the same themes, after all, inherent in such movies as
"Rendition," "Stop-Loss," "No End in Sight" and countless other
contemporary takes: Characters inhabit a world in which they
are frustrated by the decisions of their leaders and their own
inability to do anything about it.


But in this new crop, characters do a lot less despairing
and a lot more mobilizing, often to great effect (if also at
great personal cost). You don't have to agree with all the
ideologies or causes to feel moved by the stuff.


Crusader pictures are nothing new, of course. Elia Kazan
was making them a half-century ago, and since then movies from
"Gandhi" to "Erin Brockovich" -- along with filmmakers like Ken
Loach -- have portrayed the underdog's struggle against the
status quo.
