A sublime, captivating, beautifully played record that is totally seductive. Swinging country, jazz and blues; touches of Dylan and reminiscent in parts of Springsteen's joyous Seeger Sessions. Highly recommended.

Wrecking Ball [Us Import]

CD-Charts > Music > Bestsellers
by: Emmylou Harris

Release Date September 26, 1995
If you have listened to Emmylou's 70's albums, you may be disappointed in this album but give it a chance. It is slower and more difficult than the first albums but it has its moments. The songs like "All My Tears" and "Orphan Girl" are great!

Gentleman Jim - Definitive Collection

CD-Charts > Music > Bestsellers
by: Jim Reeves

Release Date June 23, 2003
There must be at least 6 albums of this title yet the one I'm reviewing here is NOT any of them in spite of being misnamed as Gentleman Jim!Though its also called The Hayride Years
Its actually a live recording made with the cooperation of the Louisiana Hayride and is on a label in the U K called TK Magnum.Apparantly its also available in the States on a different label.
I discovered this one in of all places the local library and decided I had to send my penfriend Ginny Wright a copy as it starts off with an airshot promoting the Fabor label-and Ginny is heard on this along with other Fabor acts.
Trouble is it wasn't on the HMV computer so I had to order 2 copies from Ryans Country in Wales.
Ginny had incidentally never heard ... Read More:

Van Lear Rose

CD-Charts > Music > Bestsellers
by: Loretta Lynn

Release Date May 03, 2004
44 years since her debut Loretta Lynn has written and performed some of country music's best songs ever in the entire genre. Loretta has always stuck to the kind of music she loves to write and perform and has never tried to be a Dolly Parton type person trying to act or be a pop princess. Her music has always been as country as dirt and here in her latest album she adds rock to the album and keeping it country. Critics compared this to the later work of Johnny Cash and made people think twice about country music. Appealling to rock, country and indie audiences it's no surprise the album did well. To top it off it bagged 2 Grammys for the 70 odd year old legend. I'm no fan of the White Stripes but theres no doubt Jack White has talent as shown on this album then ... Read More:

Southern Rock Opera

CD-Charts > Music > Bestsellers
by: Drive-By Truckers

Release Date July 18, 2002

After recording Pizza Deliverance, DBT quit their day jobs and embarked on a frenetic musical road trip, during which they composed Southern Rock Opera and became a different band. They transformed from hayseed burlesque into a true power with something serious to say about the world and a serious delivery mechanism.

Nominally the story of the fictional band Betamax Guillotine, mostly the opera is a dedication to legendary southern rockers Lynyrd Skynyrd, and most of the songs are about, or contain references to, them.

Thematically there's something of Bat Out Of Hell about the opening track, Graduation Days, with the wreck on the highway; and the image of the girl screaming with her body embedded in the dashboard ranks high in rock's League of the Macabre. ... Read More:

Asking For Flowers

CD-Charts > Music > Bestsellers
by: Kathleen Edwards

Release Date April 28, 2008
After Failer and its follow-up Back to Me, Canada's finest has truly delivered with an exceptional and varied offering. Edwards has been likened to Lucinda Williams and Flowers compares favourably with the classic Car Wheels on a Gravel Road. With such an unusual voice, excellent backing musicians and an ability to write clever, accessible story songs, she hits the mark again and again on the album. Everyone will have their own favourites but the opener, Buffalo, showcases Edwards' unique voice backed by piano and strings. Oh Canada, a scathing attack on her own people as they bury their collective heads in the sand faced with the world's problems, rocks out with more than a cap doffed to Neil Young, whilst I Make the Dough is the most 'country' track but transcends the genre with clever lyrical ...

Pneumonia

CD-Charts > Music > Bestsellers
by: Whiskeytown

Release Date May 26, 2003
This is definitely my favorite CD to listen to when going to bed, and I mean that in a good way. These songs are so gentle, and it's hard to believe Ryan Adams was like, what, 24 when he put this album out?
