Inside Music
Soundtrack album debuts make music on the charts
Michael Jackson's This Is It, the no. 1 record on the Billboard 200 charts for the week of November 14, dislodged The Twilight Saga: New Moon-- which reached the top the week of November 7. But unexpectedly this week (for November 21), another soundtrack, this time for the new Fox television hit show Glee, debuted at no.4, showing the ability of film and TV programs to help create music fans.
Melody Gardot: An accidental musician
After an accident left Melody Gardot immobile, a doctor suggested music therapy. Now she has two acclaimed albums, and is performing at the London Jazz Festival. By Elisa Bray
Album: Leona Lewis, Echo, (Syco) (Rated 3/ 5 )
Of all the talent-show turns unearthed in the past decade, Leona Lewis is the only one to have parlayed the opportunity, when it knocked, into a significant international career; and judging by this safe, careful follow-up to the multi-platinum Spirit, she's not taking any unnecessary chances that might prematurely derail that career.
- Album: Dave Rawlings Machine, A Friend of a Friend, (Acony) (Rated 5/ 5 )
- Album: Leonard Cohen, Live at The Isle of Wight 1970, (Columbia) (Rated 4/ 5 )
- Album: John Mayer, Battle Studies, (Columbia) (Rated 3/ 5 )
