Films About Ghosts (The Best Of Counting Crows)

CD-Charts > Music > Country
by: Counting Crows

Release Date December 08, 2003
Being too young to remember the original Counting Crows boom in the Nineties, I approached this album with some trepidation, unsure what to expect. And it blew me away.

It opens with Angels of the Silences, a very loud, powerful rock track (and not one of my favourites - I prefer the more acoustic version on Across a Wire). It moves straight on to Round Here, a track which took a while to grow on me, but when it did, it became one of my all time favourite songs, and remains so.

Rain King is fairly upbeat and cheerful, and A Long December is slightly more wistful, whilst Hanginaround is more of a swing record - all three pretty good, if slightly unremarkable.

Mrs Potter's Lullaby is the longest song on the ... Read More:

The Big Lebowski

CD-Charts > Music > Country
by: Soundtrack

Release Date March 16, 1998
The tracks listed for this disc,with the exception of dylan, Kenny Rogers & Townes Van Zandt are foreign to me as regards the movie.
Where are the tracks by Credence, the beautiful title track "Tumbling Tumbleweed" and the end title track by Shawn Colvin,"Viva Las Vegas"??
Most of the other listings on the disc,have no association with the film for me.

A Funny Little Cross to Bear

CD-Charts > Music > Country
by: Jim White

Release Date October 13, 2008
Very nice to hear this super artist in a live setting.
Jim White really should have released a double cd with live recordings.
This one is just not long enough to get the full depth of his genius.

Rumor and Sigh

CD-Charts > Music > Country
by: Richard Thompson

Release Date May 13, 1991
This album was the first RT studio album I bought. At first I was encouraged, whilst 'Read about Love' clattered off to start the experience in my ear phones, that his band were pedigree rock muso's. Steve Gadd on drums, never bad.

It just got better. The lyrics are inspired, at times funny, tender, emotive, angry, ironic. The flamboyant and oft impressive guitar work provides a source of deep satisfaction through-out the album. 'Psycho Street'; my opinion, a fun listen the first time, I skip it now.

For me the meat on this bone in the Thompson body of work is juicy and nutritious. 'Read About Love', 'I Missunderstood', 'Keep Your Distance', 'You Dream Too Much', 'Why Must I Plead', 'Vincent...' are all tremendous contributions ... Read More:

Hard Candy: New UK Version

CD-Charts > Music > Country
by: Counting Crows

Release Date January 10, 2003
I'm a big fan of Counting Crows, unusually because it's mid-american rock which i'm not always a fan of but there's a great feeling of depth and integrity about them

This album is easily their most disappointing - they've departed from their usual territory which is not a bad thing in itself but in this case they've simply adopted too many musical styles without enough panache to carry it off

basically i'd give all their other albums a 4.5, but this is a three because only just over half the songs are good

Greatest Hits

CD-Charts > Music > Country
by: Lee Ann Womack

Release Date May 17, 2004
This is a perfect introduction to anyone new to the amazing talent of Lee Ann Womack.Traditional country with a contemporary sound.
All her greats are here like her ballads Never Again Again,The Fool,I Hope You Dance,Why They Call It Falling and her duet with Willie Nelson Mendocino Country Line.
As well as her great uptempos You've Got To Talk To Me,(Now You See Me)Now You Don't,Ashes By Now,the very witty I'll Think Of A Reason Later and the cracking Does My Ring Burn Your Finger.
She also includes 2 new recordings to round off the album-The Wrong Girl and Time For Me To Go.Both great songs!
You can't go wrong with this cd of one of country's best female artists...

Elvis - 2nd to None

CD-Charts > Music > Country
by: Elvis Presley

Release Date October 06, 2003
when reviewing a compilation of material by the most successful artist of all time,(over one billion records sold) it seems that it is easy to miss the point. dont try and compare this fantastic album with any other by mr. presley or any other artist. just try to listen to each and every song, every vocally perfect moment, every note delivered with a passion that no-one before or after, has or will get anywhere near.
if you are new to his work then you should buy this cd, but dont try and categorise it like so many who call themselves "elvis experts" who over analyse what is the best music ever made. enjoy it. thats what elvis would have wanted you to do.

Ode to Billie Joe/Touch 'em With Love

CD-Charts > Music > Country
by: Bobbie Gentry

Release Date October 27, 2008
Touch em with love is Bobbie Gentrys best album,it was her most poppy album full of great songs,GReyhound goin'somewhere,Touch em' with love,and I'll never fall in love again all superb and at last on cd.Also her first album Ode to billie joe has a country feel and some personell songs,I would have prefered to have had Touch em' with love coupled with Bobbie Gentry and Glen Campbell but that ia s small gripe.
