Greatest Hits

CD-Charts > Music > Contemporary Country
by: Shania Twain

Release Date November 08, 2004
I consider myself a music fan, and I have wide and varied tastes. One look through P.Jones reviews will bear out that unless you like his/her particular brand of music you are not considered a music fan. Total nonsense. Music, like beauty, is in the "ear" of the beholder: Shame on you for being so closed-minded.

I have several Shania Twain albums and a couple of DVDs and I'm not ashamed to say I've been to see her twice, and ALL of my encounters with her and her music have been uplifting. If you like up-beat, fun music - some with a deeper story to tell - you will enjoy this album. If you like Shania's silky, effortless voice, you will enjoy this album. And thats a promise.

Greatest Hits

CD-Charts > Music > Contemporary Country
by: Beth Nielsen Chapman

Release Date March 22, 1999
I find it sad that so few people know Beth's music so I tell people about this and always have it in the car. Her voice matches her melodies, and the production is usually understated which makes it all the more pleasant. If you don't recognise any songs here, do give it a chance because you'll be glad you did!

That Don't Make Me a Bad Guy

CD-Charts > Music > Contemporary Country
by: Toby Keith

Release Date November 17, 2008
I have been a Toby Keith fan a few years now and love all his recent albums but this has go to be his best yet.

Brilliant start to cd with the uptempo That Don't Make Me A Bad Guy and the ballads are great too.

Neck and Neck

CD-Charts > Music > Contemporary Country
by: Chet Atkins, Mark Knopfler

Release Date August 30, 1993
A jolly collaboration this, with MK evidently enjoying a chance to explore his Notting Hillbillies side. With the exception of the very last track written by MK, these are all covers of Don Gibson era type tunes and the whole set hangs together most satisfyingly. The recording's a peach too.

Good Time

CD-Charts > Music > Contemporary Country
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:

Heartaches and Highways - The Very Best of Emmylou Harris

CD-Charts > Music > Contemporary Country
by: Emmylou Harris

Release Date July 18, 2005
I always had a problem with Country as a youngster, growing up as I did in a working class English town and hooked on Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple and Sabbath. Though I could listen to Johnny Cash, some of the female country stars of the time (Tammy Wynette etc) really grated on me.

I bought this collection on a whim while working out in California a couple of years ago. This was the first time I really listened to her as a recording artist in her own right, though I was familiar with her work with Gram Parsons and her excellent backing vocals on Dylan's Desire.

I must say that this album blew me away. Her voice is totally exquisite and it is little wonder that her talents been in such demand over the years. Though The Grateful Dead first ... Read More:

Carnival Ride

CD-Charts > Music > Contemporary Country
by: Carrie Underwood

Release Date July 07, 2008
I stumbled across Carrie Underwood when I watched American Idol 2007 singing So Small. Since then I have been a listener. Her voice is amazing, makes the hair on the back of your neck stand up! The top song on Carnival Ride has to be Just a Dream. She sings the song with spot on emotion. There aren't many artists who can sing with such depth.
Buy this album and her debut (Some Hearts), you will not be disappointed!

Just a shame not touring the UK!
