Ricky Skaggs and
Kentucky Thunder
Soldier of the Cross
MCA Records
Robyn Hitchcock
Jewels for Sophia
Warner Bros, 1999
Known for his religious conviction and
strong ties to the days of bluegrass, Ricky
Skaggs and Kentucky Thunder have pro
duced a gospel album that combines a little
bit of preaching with some soulful singing
accompanied by talented fiddle and man
darin playing.
The 14 tracks on the album range from
slow, mournful ballads to traditional, honky-
tonk country.
The sound and mood of “The Darkest
Hour’’ is true to the song’s title. The mourn
ful sound of Skaggs voice harmonizing with
his back-up singers gives an eerie feel to this
waltz.
The album is full of spirit and the songs
“Are You Afraid To Die” and “The Joshua
Generation” sing gospel from the heart.
Ricky Skaggs delivers an album that reju
venates and inspires the soul. (Grade: C + )
The high-throned Edgar Allen Poe of con
temporary British pop may have just nose
dived with his latest ill-advised solo attempt at
musical love.
Giving up his dark, creepy ballads to tune
up his softer side, Robyn Hitchcock’s Jewels for
Sophia curdles like the soft cheese he actually
sings about.
Perhaps no other song on the album has dis
appointed fans yanking out their Ritz crackers
quite like the dreamy "I Feel Beautiful,” in
which Hitchcock proceeds to pinpoint the cul
prit behind his euphoria, singing “1 feel beauti
ful because you love me.”
Despite his bold divergence from the dark
world of death and decay, Hitchcock did not
serve up a complete letdown.
Die-hard hitchers can soothe their nostal
gia while listening to “Ant Woman” and
“Jewels for Sophia,” both featuring spooky
bits and pieces resonant of the more twisted
Hitchcock. (Grade: D +)

Dublin author Doyle returns to roots with The Commitms J
DUBLIN, Ireland (AP) — Three
years have passed since the world,
last heard from Roddy Doyle, who
from his coarse-witted debut. The
Commitments, has always rooted
his best-selling books in the every
day urban Dublin he knows so well.
Doyle’s ear for authentically
earthy, screenplay-friendly dialogue
remains evident in his latest novel.
In many ways, A Star Called Henry
takes the schoolteacher-turned-au
thor into ambitious new territory
certain to win him new fans.
Doyle is billing the novel as the
first in a trilogy to follow a Dublin
slum kid, Henry Smart, and through
him to depict the divisive, bloody
birth of an independent Ireland.
“I wanted to emulate Charles
Dickens, to write about a very old
man, and go right from the very be
ginning of his life to the end. It be
came a bigger book than I thought
it would be,” Doyle, 41, said.
Doyle has no feel for how
compelling Smart will prove to
be. “I’ve become so engrossed in
the character that I won’t let Hen
ry Smart go until he’s finished,”
he said.
Like so many of his creations,
