Luxury Liner: Remastered & Expanded

CD-Charts > Music > Bestsellers
by: Emmylou Harris

Release Date March 01, 2004
Another great album from Emmylou. Some people think this is a classic, and I cannot blame them. It has many great songs, such as the title track and (You Never Can Tell) C'est la vie. Emmylou has a great voice and she is a country singer number one.

Days Go By

CD-Charts > Music > Bestsellers
by: Keith Urban

Release Date May 30, 2005
I first heard Keith Urban when I went to my first of many Bryan Adams concerts. He was the support and I loved his music so much that when I returned home, at some ridiculous hour of the morning, went straight on the net and ordered this album. A couple of weeks later my 'concert' mates text me to say Keith was in concert and did I wanna go, my reply: hell yeah! I'm so hooked if the cover says 'Keith Urban' it's gotta be mine, cd or dvd! Between Keith and Bryan I can listen to them 24 hours a a day.

Rumor and Sigh

CD-Charts > Music > Bestsellers
by: Richard Thompson

Release Date May 13, 1991
This album was the first RT studio album I bought. At first I was encouraged, whilst 'Read about Love' clattered off to start the experience in my ear phones, that his band were pedigree rock muso's. Steve Gadd on drums, never bad.

It just got better. The lyrics are inspired, at times funny, tender, emotive, angry, ironic. The flamboyant and oft impressive guitar work provides a source of deep satisfaction through-out the album. 'Psycho Street'; my opinion, a fun listen the first time, I skip it now.

For me the meat on this bone in the Thompson body of work is juicy and nutritious. 'Read About Love', 'I Missunderstood', 'Keep Your Distance', 'You Dream Too Much', 'Why Must I Plead', 'Vincent...' are all tremendous contributions ... Read More:

Essence

CD-Charts > Music > Bestsellers
by: Lucinda Williams

Release Date May 01, 2003
Hurt and desire mapped by a country poet. Charlie Sexton sprinkles gorgeous guitar lines like gold dust. Making lazy comparisons with Neil Young or whomever is pointless beacause she really is out there on her own.

Invincible Summer

CD-Charts > Music > Bestsellers
by: kd Lang

Release Date July 03, 2000
Whilst I've admired the vocal work of K D Lang for a while, I was only moved to buy one of her albums when I heard the title track of this album on Radio 2, driving home in the car. And I'm glad I did. All the songs on this track evoke summer and the sun. They are full of life and not C&W at all (not that C&W is a bad thing). Think constant craving but more upbeat.

I'm no musicologist, so I'm not really qualified to tell you about tunes and mixing and what have you, but I did really enjoy this album, it's worth every penny.

Duets

CD-Charts > Music > Bestsellers
by: Emmylou Harris

Release Date July 30, 1990
This interesting album of collaborations includes tracks that are available elsewhere. By no means amongst Emmylou's best albums, Duets nevertheless contains some real gems and provides a pleasant listening experience.

The uptempo track The Price I Pay sees Harris accompanied by the Desert Rose band, and is followed by the old classic with Gram Parsons, the timeless Love Hurts. Roy Orbison provides the male vocal on That Lovin' You Feelin' Again, a mellow middle of the road number, more pop than country, that works surprisingly well.

We Believe In Happy Endings (with Earl Thomas Conley) is a traditional, slow country ballad, whilst Thing About You (with Southern Pacific) is quite catchy with a lilting beat. Star Of Bethlehem, with Neil Young, is short, ... Read More:

Little Love Affairs

CD-Charts > Music > Bestsellers
by: Nanci Griffith

Release Date March 20, 1999
If Ray Davies is the grandfather of Brit Pop, then when the next generation of new country comes along, Nanci Griffith will stand out as the Grandmother of her genre. This is Nanci Griffith at her magnificent best with an album of rare beauty, both in terms of poetic and melodic excellence.

Many of the songs are tender and evocative, even to the extent that a quintessentially English person can live the life the songs portray. So many lyrics eat away at the subconscious and surface again and again over the years; lyrics of inimitable intelligence and beauty in the normally vapid world of modern music. Not even the ghastly "Sweet Dreams Will Come" prevent this from being one of the finest albums ever recorded - in any genre - and prove that even Texas is capable of creating ... Read More:

Now That I've Found You

CD-Charts > Music > Bestsellers
by: Alison Krauss

Release Date March 15, 1995
this is a wonderful album from country singer Alison. Of worthy note, and my personal favourite is her cover of the Beatles song 'I will' sung so beautifully and movingly. Just such a beautiful album and highly recommended.

The Very Best of Alan Jackson

CD-Charts > Music > Bestsellers
by: Alan Jackson

Release Date June 21, 2004
Wow. what a hit, as a previous reviewer said this is ok if you are trying him for the first time. This guy has that smooth old style country voice with just enough of a new edge to make him contemperary and sexy!!!!
If you have never heard of him or not to sure think of a cross between Tim McGraw and Garth Brooks. This album has a great mix of smooch alongs, soulful, thoughprovoking and just foot tapping greatness.
