MUSIC
Mathews albums talks a different tune
"Folks Are Talking" isn't a bluegrass album. And Garret Mathews isn't a musician.
"Swiss Family Robinson"
What it is is a double CD with Mathews, a retired newspaper columnist, reading 28 of the columns and feature stories he wrote for the Bluefield (W. Va.) Daily Telegraph between 1974 and 1979.
Mathews' stories are mostly about older people who have now been dead for decades.
Interspersed among the columns and stories are bluegrass/folk songs. Songs include the traditional "Camp in The Wilderness," "Boil The Cabbage Down," "Shady Grove." "Wayfaring Stranger" and MaryAnne Mathews "Route 52 Blues."
How have other survival movies tried to pull in audiences? Here's a look at what worked and what didn't:

"The Grey" gives a chilly preview
Whether audiences will embrace the film warmly remains a question. The survival movie can be a tough sell: There's something inherently compelling about man versus nature, but bad weather alone won't hold anyone's attention. Throw in a human villain, and the audience might start expecting an action flick; focus on the hero's inner struggles, and the mood can get too intense. "The Grey" is expected to earn about $11 million next weekend, the same as the new Katherine Heigl comedy, "One for the Money," according to BoxOffice.com.
This Friday, Liam Neeson will don a parka and head for Alaska in "The Grey," an action-survival film about a group of oil-rig workers whose plane crashes in the icy wilderness. Sounds pretty chilly especially when the wolves show up.
"Alive"
Disney's 1960 version of the 1812 novel about a family shipwrecked on a tropical island couldn't have had a happier ending: They stay and establish a colony! Total gross: $427 million (adjusted for inflation).
Ethan Hawke starred in this 1993 dramatized story of the Uruguayan rugby team that survived a 1972 plane crash by resorting to cannibalism. Might have been too grim for mainstream viewers. It grossed about $36.7 million, according to Box-Office Moio.
"Open Water"
Vacationing scuba divers come up for air and realize their boat has forgotten them. Sharks appear, but with a tiny budget of $500,000, the 2003 movie focuses mostly on bickering. Total gross: $30.6 million.
"127 Hours"

New movies expected to gross millions
Those two pictures are expected to outpace Relativity Media's action film "Haywire," directed by Steven Soderbergh and starring mixed martial arts fighter Gina Carano, and Warner Bros.' Sept. 11 drama "Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close," which is expanding nationwide this weekend.
The George Lucas-produced movie about the World War II Tuskegee Airmen is tracking for an opening of around $15 million, gaining momentum recently among black audiences.
People who have seen pre-release audience surveys are confident that "Underworld: Awakening" will debut with between $20 million and $25 million. There's less certainty around another new entry, "Red Tails."
LOS ANGELES — The fourth movie in Sony Pictures' "Underworld" vampire series should lead the box office this weekend as Hollywood hopes to continue what has been a strong January in theaters.
Those relatively inexpensive movies, both of which were well reviewed and generating interest mainly among sophisticated adult audiences, probably will open to about $10 million each.
In 2006, the second installment in the series, "Underworld: Evolution," debuted to a stronger $26.9 million.
"Red Tails" is also headed for a decent but not great opening given its reported cost of $58 million. The movie was financed entirely by Lucas, who is also covering the marketing costs. Twentieth Century Fox is distributing the film, which stars Cuba Gooding Jr. and Terrence Howard and has received largely negative reviews.
If "Awakening" does top the box-office charts as expected, it will mark repeat success for star Kate Beckinsale, who also had a prominent role in last weekend's No.1 film "Conbandra."
With "Underworld: Awakening," Sony's Screen Gems label and partner Lakeshore Entertainment spent a healthy $70 million on the production, which included bringing the franchise into 3-D for the first time.
The question is whether images popping off the screen will help the latest entry in the series about leather-clad vampires battling werewolves bring in more than 2009's "Underworld: Rise of the Lycans," which opened to $20.8 million.
"Extremely Loud" has taken in $671,502 since opening in limited release Christmas
In limited release is the Weinstein Co.'s Shakespeare adaptation "Coriolanus."
directed by Ralph Fiennes and starring Gerard Butler.
"We Need to Talk About Kevin," starring Tilda Swinton in the adaptation of a book about the mother of a young killer, opens in Los Angeles this weekend after hitting New York City last week.
