Close friends and family know that when the latest and greatest thing comes out, and it is some- thing I am interested in, I will more than likely get it. A piece of technology that fi ts that bill is the Samsung Galaxy Fold 3 smartphone. While I won’t get into a technical review of the phone — there are plenty of on- line reviews of the device from people way more knowledge- able than I am — I will say that the phone off ers a noticeably brighter display than my previ- ous phone, the Samsung Galaxy Note 20, and off ers impressive multitasking features, which also includes a Windows-like task- bar that lets the user pin their favorite apps to the side of the display and follows them to any app. There are some things about it that take some getting used to — it’s a big phone (you know when it is in your pocket) and the cost of adding the S Pen are a couple that jump to mind (it should have been included). But so far, the device has been worth the wait, and everything I’ve seen online indicates there is more to look forward to as more developers optimize apps to work with the Fold. — ANDREW CUTLER, REGIONAL EDITORIAL DIRECTOR, EO MEDIA GROUP contact us EDITOR Lisa Britton Go!

New releases CHEMISTRY OF PLANT, KRAUSS CLICKS AGAIN ON FOLLOW-UP Pairing Alison Krauss’ angel- ic soprano with Robert Plant’s roguish tenor once sounded like a bizarre idea — until they started to sing together. The improbable partnership produced the hit album “Rais- ing Sand” in 2007, and their chemistry clicks again on the long-awaited follow-up, “Raise the Roof.” Plant and Krauss stick to the formula that worked before and still ignore pop trends. Producer T Bone Burnett re- turns to oversee spare, rootsy arrangements and directs a stellar supporting cast that includes guitarist Marc Ribot, drummer Jay Bellerose and Krauss’ brother, bassist Viktor Krauss. The songs are again an eclectic collection that in- cludes covers of obscure rockabilly, country and folk tunes, with sources ranging from the Everly Brothers and Allen Toussaint to Calexico and Merle Haggard. Krauss and Plant focus on love and loss, with death a recurring character. “Leave me out, let the buzzards eat me whole,” they sing on “Last Kind Words Blues.” — THE ASSOCIATED PRESS ADVERTISING AND SUBSCRIPTIONS Baker City Herald 541-523-3673 The Observer 541-963-3161 East Oregonian 541-276-2211 Wallowa County Chieftain 541-426-4567 Blue Mountain Eagle 541-575-0710 Hermiston Herald 541-567-6457 Quality Vehicles.
