 Diva Deluxe
Though jazz vocalist Dee Dee Bridgewater has lived in Paris for more than 12 years, better not call her a jazz expatriate. [4]
Dave McElfresh
 Oh, Lady, You're Good!
An interview with jazz diva Dee Dee Bridgewater. [5]

Chris Tweney
Moody Blues
Chris Whitley has never fit into any of the music biz's tidy little marketing packages. Now he really gets down and dirty with "Dirt Floor." [7]

Re-Ledded
"Walking into Clarksdale" is all a satisfying reverberation from Led Zep's past, and it's certainly not Page & Plant's fault if nothing sticks. [10]
Richard C. Walls
The Cat Came Back
Now that Matador is reissuing the seminal Pussy Galore catalogue, everyone can enjoy the sounds of cats fighting over a vacuum cleaner. [11]
Carly Carioli
 Breaking Up Is Hard To Do
New releases from Van Halen and Scott Weiland point to the plus and perils of going solo. [12]

an, when it rains bad news, it pours. I'm talkin' about all the
recent deaths of famous female musicians. It's hard enough to
lose country singer Tammy Wynette (see last week's story), but did country singer Rose
Maddox (big in the '50s and '60s) have to go, too? And I thought
the suicide of Wendy "Plasmatics" O'Williams was too
much tragedy as it was, but now we've gone and lost Linda McCartney
to cancer (coincidentally, both were really into nutrition). Enough is enough!
On the plus side, the biggest murderer in Cambodian history finally passed
away. Ding dong, Pol Pot is dead.
Anyhoo, we've got a couple more fine eulogies to Tammy Wynette
in this here music page. I recommend you read 'em. Sometimes loss
of life is what it takes to realize just what was lost, know what I mean Vern?
As for the living, they get their due here too. Album reviews
talk up both new and re-released work from Jimmy Page and Robert
Plant, a few all-women rock bands, Ravi Coltrane, Pussy Galore,
June of '44, and the Stone Temple Pilots' lame-ass Scott Weiland.
We've also got both a profile of, and an interview with, jazz
diva Dee Dee Bridge. Tell it, Dee Dee!
Now if you'll excuse me, I've got to go heat up a frozen vegetarian
dinner in honor of Linda and Wendy.

More than Myth

Beverly Keel
Stand By Your Ma'am
