Download Jonas Brothers new album from Yahoo Music

The easy place to find New Jonas Brothers album is from internet. Just go to Yahoo Music store and you can listen to Lines, Vines & Trying Times - new Jonas Brothers album.

Sam Phillips' advice to Johnny Cash at the dawn of rock'n'roll - "Go home and sin, then come back with a song I can sell" - seems a touch out of date in the light of the Jonas Brothers' staggering commercial success. Some lazy Wikipedia-lead research suggests that they made $12m in 2007. Since then they've released a third LP, a live concert CD, some kind of 3D film and made more kids' TV appearances and contributions to OSTs with colourful and cuddly sleeves than you could spoil your Disney-enslaved offspring with. And it's all been achieved, crucially, without soiling their immortal souls in the painfully formative practice of getting it on.

While it would be easy to write them and their chastity rings off as springing straight from the minutes of some hellish PTA meeting, in reality their success is down to years of rigorous home-schooling, countless prepubescent Broadway parts and a Christian radio single that eventually caught the ear of label execs. They've taken being dropped by Columbia in their stride too, this latest being their third for Disney's Hollywood Records and, surprisingly, not in the least bit sexless.

Their MJ-channelling vocals ride a selection of co-written pop-rock filtrate, distantly reminiscent of Elvis Costello, Wheezer and Thin Lizzy. In a number of 'mature' developments to their sound they've laid down impeccably produced horns (see bombastic opener "World War III"), come within millimetres of salacious classic rock in the excellent "Poison Ivy" (watch out for the implied "bitch" in the chorus!) and, on lead single "Paranoid", dispensed a chilled-out post-baggy number. Other noteworthy achievements of the record include the duet with their ludicrously grown-up sounding and hamster-like label mate Miley Cyrus (aka Hannah Montana) and "Don't Charge Me For The Crime", featuring Common.

Picking up where Sonic Youth and Cyprus Hill left off, this is surely the highpoint of the record, for those in their teens or above anyway; Nick Jonas narrating a hilarious imagining of an ill-fated drug run with the socially-conscious rapper. Common plays the role of dodgy friend who gets in Nick's car with bags of cash and what is charmingly referred to as a "pistol" throughout, ultimately getting them both arrested.

It's only a little bit racist and a markedly post-Bush move for a staunch Evangelical; a sign perhaps that the Jonas Brothers represent something more creative than just a well-honed product. Given the importance to their brand of wholesome (and very American) values, the unfolding story of their careers will surely provide some insight into the relationships between money, fame, morality and rock'n'roll.

Lemonheads album is available to download at online music strore

Buy and download Lemonheads album. Listen to Evan Dando Music. Evan Dando download album and music you can find from Yahoo! music or music online store.

The Lemonheads are all about Evan Dando. Evan Dando and his flowing long hair. Evan Dando, his flowing long hair and his penchant for heroin. Evan Dando, his flowing long hair, his penchant for heroin and his celebrity friends. Oh, and the cover versions. The cover versions are key.

And so it goes on "Varshons", which features Dando as the only original Lemonhead starring alongside 11 tracks he didn't write. There are guest appearances from Kate Moss (on Arling & Cameron's "Dirty Robot") and previous Lemonheads collaborator Liv Tyler (on Leonard Cohen's "Hey, That's No Way To Say Goodbye"). The only thing missing is the penchant for heroin. But that's probably good.

It would be easy to criticise The Lemonheads for doing a covers album. But their greatest success has come from singing other people's songs. It was 1992's version of Simon & Garfunkel's "Mrs Robinson" that thrust Dando's troops into the limelight. Of course, it was persistent plays on other people's material (check 1993's album title: "Come On Feel The Lemonheads") that kept them there.

You could argue that the art of the cover version is underappreciated. No one criticised Johnny Cash for it. Although Dando can't challenge Cash's magisterial grace, he knows how to reinvent a tune. It helps to pick the right tune and Dando has good taste, judging Gram Parsons ("I Just Can't Take It Anymore"), Wire ("Fragile") and Townes Van Zandt ("Waiting Around To Die") to be worthy of homage. But that's all this album is, really. Homage.

There's the obligatory take on the successful pop hit as Dando turns Christina Aguilera's "Beautiful" into a moderately haunting acoustic track. But the lyrics are embarrassing: "Now and then I get insecure, from all the things, I'm so ashamed / I am beautiful no matter what they say / Words can't bring me down." The message is positive if you're a teenage girl, which Dando isn't and neither is his audience. So it fails. However, this is the only disaster. Even Moss's appearance is lifted beyond the cocaine dullness she offered for Babyshambles.

The problem Dando, and anyone who does covers has, is for them to work you have to add extra levels to tracks previously viewed in simple terms. That's why Cash's versions of U2's "One" and Nine Inch Nails' "Hurt" will be remembered. He injected levels of wisdom to songs that previously lacked it. Dando can't do that. He has neither the experience nor the greatness. He just adds a supermodel and some long-haired slacker sheen. Which is fine. But it's little more.
