Duets

CD-Charts > Music > Contemporary Country
by: Reba McEntire

Release Date September 24, 2007
I love Reba, I saw her in London some years ago and she was fabulous. I love the camp duets she's done with Linda Davis and it's a pity there's not one like that on this album. When I first got the record I went straight for the duet with Justin and was immediately disappointed, as you will be; but, when you've heard that song twice more you'll love it; it's an understated masterpiece; Reba tells the story and Justin lets her do just that, what a great collaboration. The album takes a few listens until you realise that it's all there. The Kelly Clarkson song is just amazing, you'll struggle not to laugh at one of the lines in the Trisha Yearwood, it's pure country trash, but perfectly done. The Carole King reminds you what a great singer that ... Read More:

From A Distance: The Very Best Of Nanci Griffith

CD-Charts > Music > Contemporary Country
by: Nanci Griffith

Release Date July 22, 2002
Do I not like this CD. She puts on a grating voice which is combined with a strange recording balance to put me right off. And anyone who can sing 'From a distance' about the Christian God knows nothing about Him at all.

Julianne Hough

CD-Charts > Music > Contemporary Country
by: Julianne Hough

Release Date May 26, 2008
Julianne was best known as the x2 champion winner on Dancing With The Stars in the USA,but she can leave that behind her now as she's now a bonafide country singer!
Produced by David Malloy(who's worked with Reba McEntire) this is an excellent collection of very slick,polished Pop/Country music.She also has a stronger voice than her counter-parts Taylor Swift & Kellie Pickler!From her first hit That Song In My Head,to the catchy You,You,You and the cracking uptempos About Life and Hello,this album will have you singing along in no time.
She also includes some fantastic ballads like the sensual Hide Your Matches,the excellent message to teens Jimmy Rae McGee(about not been pressured into sex when you're not ready) and the very touching Help ... Read More:

Stand Still, Look Pretty

CD-Charts > Music > Contemporary Country
by: The Wreckers

Release Date May 29, 2006
This has got to be one of the best CDs I have bought this year. I originally bought it having been a fan of Michelle Branch for years, and was totally blown away by the quality of the music! There are songs for any feeling and mood, the girls' voices are fabulous. Best songs for me are Way Back Home, Rain, Stand Still Look Pretty and Lay Me Down. A Must for any Michelle or modern country fan :)

An excellent compilation of Mary Chapin Carpenter's songs and music.
All the songs are good but there is a track here that is one of the best country songs I have heard - " Don't Be Late For Your Life."
It is just such a beautiful song!

The Calling

CD-Charts > Music > Contemporary Country
by: Mary Chapin Carpenter

Release Date August 18, 2008
Ms Chapin Carpenter's music is an elusive and deceptive creature.
On the face of it she has always been a singer/songwriter whose album
releases have an enduring, predictable and reassuring quality.
Somehow one always seems to come along just when you need it.

So here we have her ninth offering (not counting the 'Party Doll' and
'Essential' compilations) and the word 'Essential' does indeed
have meaning here.

Her warm, tonally sound, rock-solid mezzo and guitar carry these
thirteen fine songs with good grace, refinement and consistantly
convincing understatement.

Matt Rollings production and keyboards, Dean Parks and John Jennings
guitars, Glenn Worf's bass and Russell Kunkel's ... Read More:

Greatest Hits

CD-Charts > Music > Contemporary Country

The majority of the 16 tracks featured on this CD were recorded in the years 1968-77, and 10 were written by Dolly herself, including “9 to 5” which dates from 1980.

Inevitably, many of the songs are available on other compilations. For instance, eight also appear on the excellent 3CD box set, “Legends” and the same number likewise do so on the very good 2CD album “The Essential Dolly Parton.”

However, the version of “Two Doors Down” on “Greatest Hits” is not the one featured on “Legends.” Moreover, the recording of “I Will Always Love You” on “Greatest Hits” differs from the one found on the other compilations just mentioned.
