PAGE 6 I FEATURES THORSDAY JUNE 26,2008 I THE GEORGE-ANNE DAILY Summer Albums By Phillip Clements Al Green - Lay It Down There's a reason that Al Green is synonymous with the term "mood music." His silky smooth voice and sultry demeanor combine to produce just the right atmosphere for a night of tender romance. At the age of 62, he hasn't lost it. With the help of the new generation- of soul stars (An- thony Hamilton, Corinne Bailey Rae and John Legend), Green is able to stay relevant without compromising his classic style. Key Track: "Take Your Time," a slow-cooked duet with Corinne Bailey Rae, finds two of the sweetest voices in the business cooing bed-side praises over the horn-and-string medley of yesteryear. Gnarls Barkley - The Odd Couple The twisted duo embraces their frantic sense of style with a collection of songs just as eclectic and sonically brilliant as those on their hit debut album "St. Elsewhere." However, the pair bypasses the urge to recreate the successful pop frenzy of "Crazy" and instead visits the dark side with Cee-lo's disciplined voice haunting the room as Danger Mouse's distorted and funky loops keep you from escaping. Key Track "Charity Case" keeps your head bobbing throughout with a slinky bass line and layers of petite chimes while Cee-lo keeps you from feeling sorry for him. My Morning Jacket - Evil Urges $200 off First Month's Rent My Morning Jacket is a band that has had a hard time finding their identity. They hail from Kentucky, were discovered by Dave Matthews and were joined on stage at Bonnaroo by Kirk Ham- mett of Metallica. Unlike their previous album, the highly experimental "Z," "Evil Urges" finds My Morning Jacket coming to grips with their schizophrenia and making the best of it. The band has a spectrum of sounds that extends further than most and is able to mix and match in a highly sophisticated manner that allows them to maintain their eclectic nature. Key Track: "I'm Amazed" finds My Morning Jacket embracing their signature sound: distant vocals, country-tinged melodies, guitar-driven rhythms and a strong southern-rock guitar solo to finish it off. Walk to GSU! Death Cab For Cutie - Narrow Stairs GSU Parking Permit Allowed! Ben Gibbard is a storyteller. On the band's sixth album, Gibbard sings of the wildfires of California ("Grapevine Fires"), a marriage gone wrong ("Cath") and even the spirit of Jack Ker- ouac ("Bixby Canyon Bridge"). The music is more organic than ever, sounding less like masters of Washer k Dryer and Ca rith HBO in Every Unit production and more like a band in a room with guitarist Chris Walla driving the songs along the midnight highway painted by Gibbard's words. Key Track: "I Will Possess Your Heart," Death Cab's ode to a stalker-ish relationship that starts with a 4-minute psychedelic jam-session that earned them a spot at this summer's 12-month Individual Leases Bonnaroo.
