THE BATTALION
Brougham
Le Cock Sportif
Warner Bros. Records
With the recent success of white
rappers like Kid Rock and Eminem,
it was inevitable that a slew of imita
tors and wannabes would follow
close behind. Brougham falls firmly
into this category as it raps its way
through a laid-back and altogether
mellow album.
One gets the impression that these
tattooed men want to have attitude.
Why then does their music sound like
the sort of stuff junior high kids think
is cool? None of their songs really
jump past old stuff and into musical
inventiveness. Rather, they choose to
rehash a variety of other styles with
minimal success. None of the anger
or inventive rhyming of Kid Rock or
Eminem comes through with this
group in what seems a shallow and
amateurish effort.
For the most part, this album is a
watered-down version of '90s rap. It
sounds like the musical revolution of
recent years never happened.
For people who like their new mu
sic to sound old. this is a good CD.
For those who like their new music to
sound fresh, avoid this album at all
costs (in spite of the eye-catching i
cover). (Grade: D)

Darryl Worley
Hard Rain Don’t Last
Dreamworks Records
Country music newcomer Worley has been gar
nering some play time for his first single, “When You
Need My Love.”
In spite of his rather plain, twangy voice, Worley
has a keen music-making sense that is evident on hi
debut album.
This album, more than the first single, could be
the reason radio stations are beginning to play thi
new artist. He demonstrates a savvy style that could
actually propel him above the constant crowd of ne»
singers attempting to break into the ranks of country
music legends.
Worley manages to record traditional songs and
make them sound fresh and original.
This is not as hard as it sounds; more and more
country musicians are making music that is not con
sidered true country. Worley avoids this categoryal
together with a collection of old-time ballads and
swinging honkytonk songs.
Not a breakout album, this collection of songsisi
solid steppingstone from which this promising anist
could build a long and steady career. (Grade: B-)

Texa
Various Artists
Coyote Ugly Soundtrack
Curb Records
The soundtrack to Coyote Ugly is an eclectic mix of music featuring
artists from Charlie Daniels to INXS. What common theme could these var
ious musicians possibly share? Great songs for scantily clad hotties to dance
to on a bar. While the movie is great to watch, the theme does not neces
sarily make the most exciting album, except for the Leann Rime’s songs.
Leann Rimes is a country singer, right? Not necessarily, according to the
music on this album, which features four very pop-infused songs. In recent
years. Rimes has struggled to find her niche in the country-music world,
despite having one of the best voices of all time. After listening to "The
Right Kind of Wrong,” a very non-country tune, one almost wonders, why
bother?
Why not cross over to a more mainstream style of music, one that would
embrace and offer opportunities for such a gifted voice? Each of Rimes'
songs has a vibrancy and an irresistible appeal that much of her country mu
sic has lacked.
Those four songs alone are nearly worth the price of the entire CD. And
then, for an added bonus, a person could go ahead and jam out to Snap’s
"The Power.” (Grade: B-)
