Copperhead Road

CD-Charts > Music > Bestsellers
by: Steve Earle

Release Date March 20, 1999
Steve Earle music is best described as country-rock. The skull and cross bones that form the cover of Copperhead Road album warn of what is to come, a heavy mix of potent music shot through with the reflections of an wild young man who is older than his years. Inserts show a relaxed Earle, fag in mouth, black shades and dressed in denim.

A strong start with 'Copperhead Road' on which you can apparently 'smell the whisky burnin'; 'The Devil's Right Hand' refers to a pistol and though the song has a strange lyrical resonace it isn't until 'Johnny Come Lately' (on which the Pogues play) when the album begins to rock..

'Johnny Come Lately' tells the story of a soldier off to Vietnam who hopes to return to his girl in London ... Read More:

Keep Your Silver Shined

CD-Charts > Music > Bestsellers
by: Devon Sproule

Release Date June 21, 2007
I saw Devon Sproule at the Tolpuddle Festival recently - she's a great musician and I loved her set. Afterwards I bought this CD which she was kind enough to sign and to chat for a few minutes. A very normal, friendly lady. I have played this CD almost non-stop since then. It's very evocative of that idealized rural South that I hope still exists. It is totally charming. Devon is a great songwriter but, for me, the songs were not immediately obvious. The lyrics and music are maybe a little eccentric. But all good things take a little effort and, if you persist, I think you will fall in love with this album and the vision of Virginia it conjures up in your mind.

A Celebration In Song

CD-Charts > Music > Bestsellers
by: Olivia Newton-John & Friends

Release Date August 18, 2008
A solid collection of mainstream pop duets between Olivia and a roster of big international names: Cliff Richard, Barry Gibb, Delta Goodrem, Richard Marx, Keith Urban, Jann Arden and Olivia's long-time producer, John Farrar. This is probably the most pop-oriented new studio album Olivia has produced since the late 80s, and so is likely to find favour amongst fans who remember those days with fondness.

The song choices are very strong, and offer a pleasing variety which showcases Olivia's vocal talents very well. A particular highlight is "Reckless", a track originally recorded on John Farrar's eponymous 1980 album, and a song that fans have wanted ONJ to record for years. Here, she adds her vocals to Farrar's original recording, giving ... Read More:

Good Time

CD-Charts > Music > Bestsellers
by: Alan Jackson

Release Date March 10, 2008
Undoubtedly one of Traditional Country music's finest artists - perhaps only second to the great George Strait - Alan Jackson continues his illustrious, almost two-decade long career with this, his first ever full-album of self-penned songs. Although clocking in at over 70 minutes, it's still a bountiful listening experience, in turns reflective ("I Wish I Could Back Up", "Listen to Your Senses", "1976", "Right Where I Want You", the number 1 "Small Town Southern Man" and "Sissy's Song", an ode to a recently deceased family friend) and humourous ("I Still Like Bologne", "Laid Back and Low Key", the chart-topping "Good Time" and my personal favourite, "Country Boy").

Although calculating the obvious risk of not employing the standard Nashville ... Read More:

Ultimate Hits 2CD + DVD

CD-Charts > Music > Bestsellers
by: Garth Brooks

Release Date November 12, 2007
Although I'm not a Garth Brooks fan at all, I must admit that he
has had a string of wonderful hits that are all on this double CD
+ the "gift" of a DVD where all these hits can be seen. Besides,
the price of this "triple disc" offer is incredible. So much for
so little!

Ultimate Dolly Parton

CD-Charts > Music > Bestsellers
by: Dolly Parton

Release Date July 21, 2003
To anybody who already owns a compilation of Dolly's music for RCA, the track listing here has a familiar look to it with few exceptions. The exceptions are Please don't stop loving me, a sensational duet with Porter Wagoner not normally included on Dolly's solo compilations, To know him is to love him, from the first Trio album, and Why'd you come in here looking like that, from Dolly's period with Columbia. This UK edition includes a bonus track – a remix of Early morning breeze, a song that originally appeared on Dolly's Coat of many colors album (1971) and later on her Jolene album (1974).

The other tracks here include many Dolly classics, notably Jolene (her only UK top ten solo hit), Islands in the stream (a duet with Kenny Rogers that became a USA number ... Read More:

The Fantastic Expedition Of Dillard & Clark/Through The Morning Through The Night

CD-Charts > Music > Bestsellers
by: Dillard & Clark

Release Date April 26, 1999
Gene Clark and the Byrds were really the catalyst for country music being taken more seriously than it had during the 60a.His first solo album was made with the Gosdin Brothers-who were not to see any chart action until Vern Gosdin in the next decade.
With Sweetheart of the Rodeo the Byrds went headlong into country music and probably invented country rock as urban met rural
The 2 albums as Dillard & Clark were not among the biggest sellers but are always going to sound better than the Eagles who are more a rock band.
This is the real deal

A Song's Best Friend: The Very Best of John Denver

by: John Denver

Release Date September 20, 2004
We have loved John Denver's music since we were kids. Hearing them in this CD shows us that he was the BEST. We have so many memories of the different things the songs meant to us, he gave us a lot of happiness. We will always play his music & we know it will live on long after we are gone.
