Into the Wild: Original Soundtrack

CD-Charts > Music > Bestsellers
by: Eddie Vedder

Release Date December 17, 2007
There are basically two types of movie soundtrack album. There are the ones where you get a song from the opening titles, a song from the closing titles and 10 tracks of incidental music or, alternately, the ones where a movie is set in a specific period and the sountrack is a "greatest hits" of that period.

This breaks the mold. Instead of 15 tracks of inoffensive incidental music designed not to detract from the movie (and hence, be pretty forgettable) someone had the ingenious idea of throwing Eddie Vedder, a guitar, a banjo and a mandolin into a recording studio and using the results.

The results are an album that stands up in its own right as a great record and a superb soundtrack. The simple chord sequences, ... Read More:

Still On Top: The Greatest Hits

CD-Charts > Music > Bestsellers
by: Van Morrison

Release Date October 22, 2007
I got this before going to see Van Morrison Live at Symphony Hall. The CD made up for the lack of known songs sung by Van in his live performance. It was a strange affair, he did not speak to the audience and performed a very self indulgant show. However I can't fault the CD it is great.

Little Voice

CD-Charts > Music > Bestsellers
by: Sara Bareilles

Release Date June 16, 2008
With its incessant piano hook and heart-felt lyrics, "Love Song" caught my attention immediately as one of the most impressive debut singles I've heard on pop radio. So is it true with the rest of "Little Voice" which demonstrates that Sara Bareilles has an incredibly bright future ahead as a compelling chanteuse of original piano-based pop rock music (I'd like to think of her as someone with the melodic richness of a Sarah McLaughlin coupled with the sarcastic, hip lyrics and excellent musical chord writing of a Randy Newman.). Her stylistic influences range all over the map, from the fusion jazz of "Vegas" to the soft rock pop of "Love Song". Lyrically and musically, her most impressive songs include the short, but quite delightful, "Fairytale" ... Read More:

Till the Sun Turns Black

CD-Charts > Music > Bestsellers
by: Ray LaMontagne

Release Date October 09, 2006
I have only had this album for two days and it is already one of my favourites! Although I had heard of Ray Lamontagne, I had not heard any of his music and ordered this album from Amazon on a whim. Just pure beautiful music, very Damian Rice-esque, execpt more upbeat!!

The Jersey Boys Original Broadway Cast Recording

CD-Charts > Music > Bestsellers
by: Various Artists

Release Date May 21, 2007
I saw the show in October, The Four Seasons were way behind my time but the show and this recording are what will bring the band's great music back and to younger generations. The soundtrack is one of the best cast recordings I have ever heard, I play my favourite songs from it everyday and dance around like a loon!

It has an amazing feel good factor to it, they sound a lot like The Four Seasons but there's a freshness about the music too which coming from a younger generation appeals to me more than the original recordings of Franki Valli and The Four Seasons.

Go and see the show, it's having amazing runs everywhere and I've just heard it's come to London, I'll be booking my ticket to see it there next time I go!

Sloe Gin

CD-Charts > Music > Bestsellers
by: Joe Bonamassa

Release Date August 27, 2007
I just want to add my voice to the crowd: Bonamassa is more than you expect. I have bought all his records now, and there is no disappointment, I am very very impressed with him: good voice, massive sound, an amazing knowledge of the classics of blues and rock, and a style of his own who can also perfectly emulate the great names when needed. He is fulfilling expectations coming from the hype around him. HE DESERVES IT. I have not been impressed as much with someone since Stevie Ray played Texas Flood in my ears many years ago. MUST HAVE FOR ALL BLUES FANS!! Not only this CD! ALL OF THEM !!!

Day After Tomorrow

CD-Charts > Music > Bestsellers
by: Joan Baez

Release Date September 08, 2008
That cover pic: the radiance in those eyes, and that smile! Wow, Joan: so glad to have you back, dear friend.
The flowers on the cd, the warm heart of a kindred spirit, that never-aging how-could-one-forget soprano. The deep humanity and universality, too.
By the time the first spin of this cd was through, a 6 or 7 lyric file had been compiled.

Here, amidst all the useless political squabble over our handkerchief-sized Belgium, we've never ceased to find truth in your words ever since the sixties, driving 'the Old Dixie down', strumming along to your Dylan tunes or 'putting the load right on me myself and I'.
An ode to that fragile planet and that precious inner peace that our kind has been craving for for so long, a wistful ... Read More:

The Very Best of Fleetwood Mac

CD-Charts > Music > Bestsellers
by: Fleetwood Mac

Release Date November 17, 2003
I was looking for somewhere to start to begin my Fleetwood Mac education having vague childhood memories of it from the influence of my parents, and I couldn't have picked a better place to start!

This is a wonderful compliation which covers different eras of Fleetwood Mac's musical development, and with that comes some very different sounds to their music.

I love it more everytime I listen to it!!
