Invincible Summer

CD-Charts > Music > Contemporary Country
by: K.D. 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.

One of the Boys

CD-Charts > Music > Contemporary Country
by: Gretchen Wilson

Release Date May 21, 2007
One Of The Boys,Gretchens 3rd album has a slight change in direction from her previous 2 albums.It's more mellow,easy listening country.
It includes the ballad Come To Bed which features John Rich on harmonies,the smart witty uptempo If You Want A Mother(great lyrics to this)and the tongue in cheek uptempo There Goes The Neighbourhood.
Other standouts are The girl I Am,One Of The Boys,Painkiller(great ballad)and Good Ole Boy.
The theme of this album is most definately about Gretchen given the listener a more personal insight into the woman she really is!
Not her strongest album,compared to Here For The Party and All Jacked Up but it is still a great album that should be included in your country collection....

Here For The Party

CD-Charts > Music > Contemporary Country
by: Gretchen Wilson

Release Date August 30, 2004
Gretchens debut Here For The Party was hugely successful,going 5x platinum!And rightly so...
There's the big hits Here For The Party,Homewreaker,When I Think About Cheatin' and her big signature song Redneck Woman-this song will be stuck in your head.
But there's other gems too,such as the cracking toe tapping When It Rains(so catchy)plus the lovely ballads Holdin' You and What Happened-this has a nice acoustic sound to it.
She wraps up the album with the great uptempo Pocahontas Proud which gives us an insight into her life before she became a big country star.
Gretchen is as country as it gets,so if you love your country then this album is an essential to your collection...

Trio Vol.2

CD-Charts > Music > Contemporary Country
by: Dolly Parton, Emmylou Harris, Linda Ronstadt

Release Date March 08, 1999
As if the joys of Trio I were not enough !.

Dolly, Linda and Emmylou returned in 1999 with another collection of perfectly chosen songs.Rarely can three such distinctive voices have melded to make such a perfect whole.

A decade's further experience tells subtely in both individual and ensemble performances. Ronstadt's velvety tones have deepened and mellowed; Harris gives glimpses of what was to come with "Wrecking Ball", a little cracked, craggy and ephemeral; Parton is as sublime as ever !

It's very difficult to choose high points with so many treasures on offer but I'll point you towards "High Sierra", "He rode all the way to Texas" and "Feels like home" as current favorites. The latter previously performed by Bonnie ... Read More:

Stallion Battalion

Release Date May 12, 2008
its so obvious that what we have here is country music but, there is a twist & that is psychobilly. it all fits together perfect & the only reason this missed five stars is the covers.I dont think we need another gay bar but what we have is good enough to rock to

Western Wall

CD-Charts > Music > Contemporary Country
by: Emmylou Harris, Linda Ronstadt

Release Date September 13, 1999
This 1999 collaboration between Emmylou Harris and Linda Ronstadt is more folk rock than country in its unique atmospheric sound. It opens with Loving The Highwayman, where the two share lead and harmony vocals. Written by Emmylou, Raise The Dead has her on lead, harmony and electric guitar on a moving tribute to Hank Williams and Bill Monroe.

They lovingly interpret Rosanne Cash's Western Wall, whilst 1917 is a slow melancholy ballad with some lines sung in Latin. The tempo picks up a bit on He Was Mine, a gorgeous display of interweaving voices, and on Sweet Spot, which is a type of brooding rock ballad. For me, the highlight of the album is definitely this evocative cover of Sisters Of Mercy. The simple arrangement does not stray too far from Cohen's ... Read More:
