		<description><![CDATA[To call Works Progress Administration a supergroup might be an understatement. Led by Glen Phillips (of Toad the Wet Sprocket), Luke Bulla (Lyle Lovett, Jerry Douglas Band) and Sean and Sara Watkins of Nickel Creek, they have a phenomenal amount of talent just in their frontline. Backed by Benmont Tench from the Heartbreakers, Pete Thomas and Davey Faragher from Elvis Costello's band, and pedal steel player Greg Leisz (who produced Dave Alvin's King of California), WPA is deeper than most NBA teams. However, a large amount of talent does not necessarily make a great record. Luckily, they have Rick Rubin sideman Jim Scott at the helm, and his ability to direct musical traffic shines on the first single from their self-titled album "You Will Always Have My Love".]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[1. When I first heard that Dave Rawlings and Gillian Welch were switching places in their informal arrangement usually billed as "Gillian Welch",  I wasn't sure what to expect. Would it be like the Esquires, the rare electric incarnation of the duo? Would Gillian sing at all? Now that I've heard A Friend of a Friend, I feel foolish for expecting Dave and Gillian to reinvent the wheel -- what they have going is impossible to duplicate. Not that there aren't new ideas on this record -- a string section and a group of horns make an appearance, to great effect. On A Friend of a Friend, Rawlings and Welch show that they can let Dave's fresh tenor lead the way and harness the frenetic energy of his solos and retain the same musical integrity that has defined their career.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[1. By now, Rosanne Cash's new record The List has been pored over by critics, previewed by NPR, and released a week ago. Her renditions of songs from her father's list of 100 essential songs provide new insight into classic American standards, with warm production by her husband, John Leventhal. One of these songs, Don Gibson's "Sea of Heartbreak", was also covered by her father on his second American Recordings release Unchained. The two versions of Gibson's terribly lonely classic are very different, but both seem to serve the song equally well. Rosanne brings in Bruce Springsteen to assist on background vocals, while her father had Tom Petty (and the Heartbreakers) backing him on much of that entire record. As for whose version is better? That is up to you to decide.]]></description>
