Ice is back with a brand new invention... No, false alarm, he isn't. But this week at tm3am.com, I discuss three collaborations, so it seemed like a fun title for the column.
I call them ampersand projects, because they bring together artists that normally wouldn't share a byline. Sometimes they work, sometimes they don't, but the three in question this week are all varying shades of successful. On tap: Ben Folds & Nick Hornby, who wrote music and words, respectively, on Lonely Avenue; John Legend & the Roots, who slammed through a set of old soul covers on Wake Up; and Jenny & Johnny, who are Lewis and Rice, respectively, and who clearly had a blast making their album I'm Having Fun Now.
All that, plus the Third Quarter Report. As always, click on over to read the column, and head back here to leave a comment.
