MUSIC

By RANDALL ROBERTS Los Angeles Times

The London-born rhythm and blues band the Rolling Stones, which got its start playing covers of blues standards at pubs and clubs, has announced the pending arrival of its new album. Called “Blue and Lonesome.” The 12-song record is a tribute to the blues artists who inspired Keith Richards, Mick Jagger, Charlie Watts and their bandmates to make a go of it in the early 1960s.

“Blue & Lonesome” will feature classics and obscurities by American blues artists including Little Walter, Magic Sam, Little Johnny Taylor, Willie Dixon and others.

Produced by the Stones’ longtime studio collaborator Don Was along with the Glimmer Twins (the pseudonym for Jagger and Richards), the album was recorded in three days at British Grove Studios in West London, not too far from where the band got its start some 50 years ago.

Longtime blues ally Eric Clapton appears on two songs, and drummer Jim Keltner bangs on one. They joined Jagger, Richards, Watts, guitarist Ronnie Wood and touring members Darryl Jones (bass) and keyboardists Chuck Leavell and Matt Clifford. It will come out on Dec. 2 through Interscope Records.

“Blue & Lonesome” will be the first studio album since “A Bigger Bang” was issued in 2005. The original work draws from blues songs recorded mostly in the 1950s — music that as teenagers

Jagger and Richards bonded over when trying to figure out their sound.

The album will be issued on multiple formats including digital download and what is described in the press release as “double heavyweight vinyl in a gatefold sleeve with album download card and “deluxe edition including CD album, 75-page mini-book about the making of the album and band postcard prints.”

The partial track listing for “Blue & Lonesome,” with brief notes provided by the Rolling Stones: n “Just Your Fool” (Original written and recorded in 1960 by Little Walter). n “Commit a Crime” (Original written and recorded in 1966 by Howlin’ Wolf, a.k.a. Chester Burnett). n “Blue & Lonesome” (Original written and recorded in 1959 by Little Walter). n “All of Your Love’ (Original written and recorded in 1967 by Magic Sam, a.k.a.

Samuel Maghett). n “I Gotta Go” (Original written and recorded in 1955 by Little Walter) n “Everybody Knows About My Good Thing” (Original recorded in 1971

by Little Johnny Taylor, composed by Miles Grayson & Lermon Horton) n “Ride ‘Em on Down” (Original written and recorded in 1955 by Eddie Taylor) n “Hate to See You Go” (Original written and recorded in 1955 by Little Walter) n “Hoo Doo Blues” (Original recorded in 1958 by Lightnin’ Slim, composed by Otis Hicks & Jerry West)

REVIEWS GREEN DAY, “Revolution Radio” — After Green Day’s stunning success with 2004’s “American Idiot” — still the most important rock album of this century — the band started walking a narrowing tightrope.

Singer-guitarist Billie Joe Armstrong felt the band needed to continue addressing political issues while still crafting catchy pop-leaning punk, with ever-increasing stakes.

But following the stress of the near-simultaneous release of three albums “Uno! Dos! Tré!” in 2012, it all came crashing down. Armstrong entered rehab and Green Day went on hiatus, staying out of the spotlight for years aside from getting inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame last year.

The band’s new album was done essentially in secret and, for the first time since 2000’s “Warning,” has no overarching theme. But the freedom to write whatever they want seems to have energized Armstrong, bassist Mike Dirnt and drummer Tré Cool to deliver plenty of great songs on a wide range of topics.

The stunning single “Bang Bang” disguises the demented view of a social media-obsessed mass shooter wannabe in a full-throttle punk raveup and the super-sweet backing vocals of Dirnt and Cool. “I wanna be a celebrity martyr, the leading man in my own private drama,” Armstrong sings, before adding, “Bang bang, give me fame, shoot me up to entertain.”

Even more potent is “Still Breathing,” where Armstrong declares “I’m still alive” over the peppiest pop punk we’ve heard from Green Day in years.

“I’m like a soldier coming home for the first time,” he sings, genuinely sneer-free.

“I dodged a bullet and I walked across a land mine.”

“Revolution Radio” is definitely more wistful than its predecessors, whether nostalgically recalling a troubled youth in the chiming “Outlaws” or celebrating Armstrong’s wife in the jangling singalong “Youngblood.” It’s a testament to the artistic power of Green Day that its comeback album is so accomplished and anything but tentative.

A well-crafted hodgepodge of great rock.

NORAH JONES, “Day Breaks” — Yes, “Day Breaks” does mark Jones’ long-awaited return to piano-based jazz. No, this isn’t “Come Away With Me II: Still Don’t Know Why.” After all, it’s been 14 years since Jones burst on the scene with the lovely jazz-tinged piano pop of “Come Away With Me,” which landed her five Grammys and some 11 million sales. She has experimented with country, folk, Everly Brothers covers, punk rock, and a bit of electronic music in the intervening years and those choices still inform her music.

Jones is a far more seasoned songwriter now, as seen in the sultry, poetic “Burn,” the angry protest of “Flipside,” and the patient first single “Carry On” with its gorgeous New Orleans vibe. And she can still deliver a knockout ballad like “It’s a Wonderful Time for Love,” while holding her own with greats like saxophonist Wayne Shorter in a classic like Duke Ellington’s “Fleurette Africaine.”

While “Come Away With Me” is the work of an undeniable talent, “Day Breaks” is the work of a master. Jones returns to piano-based jazz with stellar results.

5 trips you must take if you really, really love fall

By LYNN O’ROURKE HAYES The Dallas Morning News

Savor the fresh air, bright colors and festivals of fall. Here are five ideas to consider: 1. Pick your own apples: Whether you fancy Granny Smiths, Fuji or Golden Delicious, the whole family will enjoy a day in a “pick your own” fruit orchard. Gather your crop, then return home to make your own apple juice, pie or cobbler. Stay close to the hearth or visit the state that harvests more than half of the country’s apples. In Washington’s Yakima Valley, the Johnson family has been sharing their fragrant bounty for more than 100 years.

Stop by their popular bake shop for fresh pies. johnsonorchardsfruit.com; pickyourown.org; usapple.org 2. Door County, Wisconsin: Head to the scenic, 70-mile peninsula in northeast Wisconsin known as Door County for a cornucopia of fall bounty.

Expect apple and cherry picking plus farmers markets offering locally grown and homemade items. Have you experienced a fish boil?

Served by many restaurants in the area, the popular meal

features locally caught Lake Michigan whitefish and potatoes cooked in a giant pot over a roaring wood fire. With the fall colors as backdrop, hike local trails, stop by a lighthouse, check out art shows, festivals and fireworks. doorcounty.com 3. Discover farm fresh: This is an ideal time to celebrate our nation’s plenty by visiting farmers markets, joining in a barn dance or enjoying a county fair. Take a farm tour and learn how our food evolves from plow to porch. Visit a community garden and become inspired to join in or plan for your own. For a more immersive experience, spend the night or a weekend on a family farm.

Leave the electronics and everyday expectations behind and get ready to pitch in for the morning chores.

At farms across the country, kids can collect eggs, pet pigs, corral critters, tend a garden brimming with fresh produce or hang out in the shade of fruit trees. farmstayus.com 4. Appreciate the fall foliage: Whether it is a jaw-dropping drive through the Colorado Rockies, a hike along a Smoky Mountain ridge top or mountain

Web Buzz Name: Whym: Last-Minute Tickets, Tours & Attractions What it does: The app sells tours and activity tickets to spur-of-the-moment travelers. Destinations include Barcelona, Spain; Rome; Paris; London; San Diego; New York; Las Vegas; Los Angeles, and San Francisco.

Available: In the App Store, requires iOS 8.0 or later.

Compatible with iPhone, iPad and iPod touch. In Google Play, requires Android 4.1 and up.

Cost: App is free; the prices of tours and tickets vary.

What’s hot: When I searched for activities and tickets in New York for a mother-daughter trip, I saw page after page of tempting offers. Then I clicked on “Collections.” It was much easier to tap into themes such as “Food & Drinks,”“Kid Friendly” or city-specific threads such as “Classic New York” and “Broadway” rather than clicking through the general-interest filters you find on other apps. The San Diego options appealed to locals with “Fun Date Ideas” and to travelers with “Get to Know San Diego.”

Another plus is the comprehensive information about the activity or tour provided once you click on the attraction.

What’s not: When it says last minute, it means last minute.

I wanted to book activities on a Thursday for a trip that began on Friday of the following week, but I could access activities no more than seven days in advance. Also take note of payment options. I was surprised to see Apple Pay as the only option for all the tickets I tested on my iPhone, but once I clicked it I saw that it was easy to add a new credit card.

MINI-REVIEWS

‘The Accountant’ doesn’t quite add up

By KATIE WALSH Tribune News Service

Director Gavin O’Connor’s thriller “The Accountant” almost seems like an excuse for Ben Affleck to try his hand at playing a math whiz for once. But Affleck’s Christian Wolff is a far cry from Will Hunting.

Christian is a high functioning math savant on the autism spectrum, who finds solace in ritual, routine, patterns and finishing his tasks. He leads an unassuming and mundane life in rural Illinois as a strip mall accountant, but of course what looks simple and quiet never is.

His unique gifts allow him a lucrative side-hustle as a forensic accountant for “some of the scariest people on the planet,” according to Ray King (J.K. Simmons), director of crime enforcement at the Department of the Treasury.

But that part of his life isn’t so much what “The Accountant” is about.

There’s no globe-trotting or cavorting with cartels and mob bosses. The film is a bit of a bait and switch. We think we’re diving into the antithetical world of the criminal accountant, but what the film wants to explore is

AP

In this image released by Warner Bros. Pictures, Ben Affleck appears in a scene from “The Accountant.”

where Christian came from, and how he works.

He’s from a family ruled by an authoritarian hand by his military psychologist father, who whipped his neuro-divergent son into a super fighter for self-defense purposes. When he works, whiteboards can’t contain his extensive, meticulous, nearly “supernatural” methods. He accepts payment in the form of priceless pieces of fine art. He spends a portion of his nights listening to cacophonous music and battering his leg with what appears to be a rolling pin. He relaxes by shooting cantaloupes with long range anti-aircraft weapons.

While King and an upstart Treasury analyst (Cynthia Addai-Robinson) are hot to uncover

Christian’s identity (it involves googling Lewis Carroll a lot), he takes a gig hunting for a financial leak at biomedical company Living Robotics. It’s the gig that undoes him, as he connects with young accountant Dana (Anna Kendrick), and runs into foes he never saw coming.

“The Accountant” isn’t quite a twisty tale, but it revels in slow-burning reveals that range from the blatantly obvious — clearly intended to make the audience feel smart — to the entirely inexplicable and confounding.

There’s also a double whammy of button-cute ending twists.

The film is far more potboiler thriller than prestige picture, but Affleck is fun to watch in this against-type perfor-

mance. In flashbacks, we see Christian struggle with his neurological condition as a young boy, and Affleck takes those tics and tantrums and turns them into grown up quirks and tendencies. There’s often a dry humor to his deadpan and awkward interactions, and the laughs are a welcome tonic in the otherwise cold and violent film.

The cast is a great strength of “The Accountant” — in addition to Simmons, the beloved character actor set is rounded out with Jeffrey Tambor, who plays Chris’ mentor, and John Lithgow playing the Living Robotics founder, as well as Jean Smart as his sister and business partner.

Kendrick’s own tendency toward the neurotic is well-channeled into her character.

There are many story threads left dangling, as if they were planning a sequel to this hero origin story, wherein the accountant finds deductions and loopholes and leaks for the world’s super-villains. The result is that it feels not quite done, a good idea that’s only half-baked.

2:08. Rated R for strong violence and language throughout. HH 1/2 (out of four stars)

Compiled from news services.

Ratings are 1 to 4 stars.

“The Birth of a Nation” — Writer-director Nate Parker also stars in this violent historical drama as Nat Turner, leader of a slave rebellion in 1830s Virginia. He reaches with both hands for greatness and falls short, but this is nevertheless a solid, strong and valuable piece of work.

Historical drama, R, 120 minutes. HHH “American Honey” — A crew of hard-partying adolescent runaways and misfits going from town to town selling magazine subscriptions is the launching point for this original, sometimes breathtaking depiction of a certain slice of American life. A brilliant and startling slap to the senses. Drama, R, 162 minutes. HHH ½ “Denial” — A Holocaust denier sues one of his critics in a powerful but often stilted drama bolstered by great performances from Timothy Spall and Tom Wilkinson and nearly sunk by Rachel Weisz’ shaky New York accent.

Despite the drawbacks, the power of the story shines through. Drama, PG-13, 110 minutes. HHH “The Girl on the Train” — Emily Blunt gives a fine performance as the complex alcoholic fixated on her ex, his wife and their seemingly perfect neighbors in a murder mystery that gets tripped up by its own screenplay and grows increasingly ludicrous and melodramatic. This is no “Gone Girl.” Thriller, R, 112 minutes. HH “Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children” — Tim Burton’s adaptation of the popular children’s book about a school for freakishly gifted children is a messy, confusing, uninvolving mishmash of old-school practical effects and CGI battles. It’s like watching a master musician play a piano he somehow doesn’t realize is out of tune. Fantasy, PG-13, 122 minutes. H ½ “Deepwater Horizon” — Mark Wahlberg and Kurt Russell play the real-life good guys aboard the oil rig before and after the explosion and fire that created the largest offshore oil spill in history. This is a well-made, sometimes horrifyingly realistic re-creation of events, but it often feels like a formulaic disaster film. Disaster action, PG-13, 97 minutes. HHH “Queen of Katwe” — This uplifting story of a poor Ugandan girl with a knack for chess follows the formula of Disney sports movies, but works because of Mira Nair’s energetic direction and an endearing cast led by Lupita Nyong’o and newcomer Madina Nalwanga. Sports drama, PG, 124 minutes. HHH “The Magnificent Seven” — A team of mercenaries is hired to protect a mining town in a rousing, albeit sometimes cheesy, action-packed Western bolstered

by Denzel Washington’s baddest lead performance and some of the most impressively choreographed extended shootout sequences in recent memory. Western action, PG-13, 133 minutes. HHH “Snowden” — Who better than master filmmaker/agitator Oliver Stone to direct, in sometimes rambling fashion, the story of the techno-whiz who leaked thousands of classified documents? Joseph Gordon-Levitt’s performance in the title role is so good we can understand most of the moves Snowden makes — even if we’re not buying the hagiography Stone is selling. Biography-Drama-Thriller, R, 138 minutes. HHH

(Molly Shannon). This smart and lovely slice of life-anddeath is the equivalent of a singles hitter, accumulating one small and legitimately successful moment after another. Drama, no rating, 97 minutes. HHH ½ “The Hollars” — John Krasinski directs and stars in this uneven, ineffective and self-conscious dysfunctional family comedy/drama with a Sundance-y vibe. In scene after scene, the greatly talented and usually quite likable cast including Anna Kendrick, Richard Jenkins and Margo Martindale keeps stepping in big piles of wrong choices. Comedy/ drama, PG-13, 88 minutes.

H½ “The Light Between Oceans” — A decision made by a couple (Michael Fassbender and Alicia Vikander) on an isolated Australian island is at the core of this gorgeous but plodding and borderline ludicrous period-piece weeper. We’re supposed to feel for them,

but what they’ve done isn’t just criminal; it’s cruel. Drama, PG-13, 130 minutes. HH “Ben-Hur” — This admittedly impressive-looking version of the fictional biblical legend often plays like the next chapter of the “Fast and Furious” franchise rather than a serious period epic. Well-intentioned efforts to achieve moving, faith-based awakenings are undercut by casually violent action sequences. Instead of having the strength of its convictions, it comes across as a film hedging its bets. Epic drama, PG-13, 125 minutes. HH “War Dogs” — Two 20-something potheads (Jonah Hill and Miles Teller) appoint themselves arms dealers and work their way up to scoring a $300 million government contract in a slick and sometimes glib but undeniably entertaining, wickedly funny and justifiably cynical satire.

Comedy satire, R, 114 minutes. HHH ½
