| ARCHIVE REVIEWS FOR JULY THROUGH DECEMBER 1999
A slower second half of the year. Garth Brooks releases his odd "Chris Gaines" project, and Alison Krauss and Iggy Pop missed with their new albums. Yet the John Mellencamp odds-n-sods collection was a treat for fans, and Vitamin C released a tasty pop tart. And look for that one-off release from Willis Alan Ramsey (with help from Leon Russell) that hasn't seen daylight since 1972 . . . |
