June CD releases
The younger sister of Shelby Lynne returns with her fifth studio album. Although viewed mostly as a country act, Moorer's last album "The Duel" was a derivation from the Nashville norm. In other words, it kind of rocked a little bit. It will be interesting to see exactly where Moorer will take her sound next as she tries to "get somewhere."...

Keane "Under the Iron Sea" June 20
Back in 2004 Keane were hard to avoid, with their hit song "Somewhere Only We Know" making them darlings of soft-rock radio and music television -- especially Vh1, which is kind of both of those.

Sonic Youth "Rather Ripped" June 13
Even with three decades together and albums numbering somewhere in the high teens, alternative innovators Sonic Youth refuse to be stopped. This new album is their first since the well-accepted 2004 effort "Sonic Nurse," thus making it the latest in their battle not to become some sort of alternative version of the somewhat ageless and still somewhat entertaining Rolling Stones. I'm sure Sonic Youth will settle for "somewhat well-selling," if that's even an option.
