The Very Best of Linda Ronstadt

CD-Charts > Music > Country
by: Linda Ronstadt

Release Date September 29, 2003
This collection of hits and more recent tracks covers several styles of music spanning a career output of over 20 years. Therefore, unless you are a big Linda Ronstadt fan, not all the tracks will appeal to all listeners. However, a number of the hits sound great and are well produced. The bright opening of the CD hits a major glitch (and not the last one) at tracks 4 & 5, when LR throws in a couple of recent songs to complement the older hits. All the new material is frankly awful and would not be produced were it not by a well-known 'name' in the industry, except possibly as muzak. However powerful and listenable LR's voice, the reality is that there is only so much anyone can do with sloppy material. The hits retain their appeal generally ... Read More:

Carols and Capers

CD-Charts > Music > Country
by: Maddy Prior

Release Date November 04, 1991
Maddy has long been an important figure in the British folk music scene, whether as lead singer of Steeleye Span, as a solo singer or (as on this album) with The carnival band, who specialise in medieval and other traditional music.
This collection of Christmas music is not a typical Christmas album - it draws heavily on old and largely forgotten songs. The range of instruments used is as unusual as the songs - they even include recorders. I thought recorders were just use to teach children to learn to play an instrument - but here they are.

First the familiar - there are three songs here which will be instantly recognisable to everybody - Away in a manger, Joy to the world and I saw three ships. While shepherds watched is a standard in ... Read More:

GP / Grievous Angel

CD-Charts > Music > Country
by: Gram Parsons

Release Date October 06, 1993
Beautiful! I think it mustve been Elvis Costello covering some of Gram's songs on that album 'Almost Blue' and after hearing Gram Parsons original versions it knocked Elvis flying out of the CD player!
'How much Ive Lied' Song for you' If you like decent country music you have to by this! Even if you don't the tunes and his voice are amazing!

The Sopranos Vol. 2 - Peppers And Eggs

CD-Charts > Music > Country
by: Original Soundtrack

Release Date December 13, 2004
A few dodgy tracks as to be expected on any album, however fantastic songs by the kinks, henry mancini and the police, cake, bob dylan, tindersticks, dominic chianese, elvis costello and casey chambers.

A massive blend of different musical genres that truly is fantastic, only falls short of five stars due to several unremarkable tracks, a perfect companion to the series and a must buy for soprano fans and music fans alike

Time Well Wasted

CD-Charts > Music > Country
by: Brad Paisley

Release Date August 22, 2005
Time Well Wasted is quite simply amazing!!
He opens with his excellent no.1 hit The World,the best drinkin' song ever written Alcohol,and the beautiful electric guitar filled no.1 ballad She's Everything(gorgeous song).He also includes 2 fantastic duets with Out In The Parkin' Lot feat the great Alan Jackson and the spirtual no.1 hit When I Get Where I'm Going feat Dolly Pardon.Other gems is the more traditional sounding song Flowers and the beautiful acoustic ballad Rainin' You,I just love Brad's vocals on this!!
There's a reason why this album was no.1 and was the ACM & CMA Album Of The Year.....
