CDs to bring some holiday cheer Nov 29, 2008
" Her "Be There for Christmas" shimmies with the percolating beat of an old Motown hit. Even when she reinvents the traditional ("Children Go Where I Send Thee"), Ledisi has sass. Three candy canes. Some reinvention is better left on the drawing board. So it is with "We Wish You a Metal Xmas and a Headbanging New Year," a 12-song collection featuring members of Queensryche, Dio, Dokken and other metal bands. On "Run Rudolph Run," even the usually cool Dave Grohl sounds ridiculous. Two lumps of... (Erie Times-News, PA)

More to the point, it dawned on me that image and hair are so interlocked with an artist s success that, in some cases, they can live and die by said hairstyle. (Scituate Mariner, MA)
