Christmas with the Smithereens
: :Although it initially seems like another stopgap release to allow the Smithereens time to write a dozen new songs (especially since the band's last album was a track-by-track replication of Meet the Beatles), this Christmas set of predominantly covers, is a rousingly successful project that hopefully won't be dusted off just one month a year. Lead singer Pat DiNizio wraps his husky voice around a smartly selected collection of classic seasonal rockers such as 'Run Rudolph Run' and 'Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree,' along with more obscure fare. It's the latter ...

Meet the Smithereens!
: :Sometimes recording even a single Beatles cover can be a perilous undertaking. So for the Smithereens to have the impudence to rerecord Meet the Beatles in its entirety (even though some purists don't recognize it as canonical) is like taking the studio to edge of the cliff. But wait! While reaching the Fab Four stratosphere is impossible, this New Jersey pop combo, whose last record was released in 1999, comes about as close as any band could in celebrating the 43rd anniversary of this groundbreaking record. Sure, the lead-vocal fury that ...

Boys Don't Cry
from: Fox Searchlight Pictures
: :The soundtrack to Boys Don't Cry-- the true story of a young girl who assumed the identity of a boy to avoid the violence and crime of her past--includes everything from a haunting Bobby Fuller Four ballad ('A New Shade of Blue') to classic soul (the Isley Brothers' 'Who's That Lady?') to revamped country (the members of X as their old-time country-band alter egos, the Knitters, performing Merle Haggard's 'Silver Wings'). Also included are new tracks by '80s power-poppers the Smithereens and Shudder to Think guitarist Nathan Larson. Even more remarkable ...
