Essence

CD-Charts > Music > Country
by: Lucinda Williams

Release Date May 01, 2003
Hurt and desire mapped by a country poet. Charlie Sexton sprinkles gorgeous guitar lines like gold dust. Making lazy comparisons with Neil Young or whomever is pointless beacause she really is out there on her own.

Gospel Favourites

CD-Charts > Music > Country
by: Jim Reeves

Release Date August 24, 1998
The readily recognized rich voice of Jim Reeves is as fine on this CD as any other of his numerous recordings, but here his special voice focuses on very special music - gospels. The CD is a collection of religious or sacred recordings made over the years 1958-1962 with Jim Reeves accompanied mainly by guitar and piano, and on some tracks with gospel chorus vocal support. There are many traditional numbers of which my favourites are "In The Garden" and "It Is No Secret" together with the jazz orientated "Take My Hand Precious Lord", and there are titles where tunes were composed especially for Jim Reeves with a total of 20 tracks in all. These make for easy and relaxed listening, but the degree of sincerity with which the singing is delivered adds a spiritual dimension ... Read More:

The Best of Marty Robbins

CD-Charts > Music > Country
by: Marty Robbins

Release Date August 12, 1996
Whether this collection really is the best of Marty's music is doubtful but it does showcase the diversity of his music and everything here is of a high quality. Marty recorded several different types of music including rock'n'roll, cowboy music, classic pop ballads, mainstream country and Hawaiian music. All of them are represented here so you can easily make up your own mind what you like best.

In the fifties, he achieved some success in rock'n'roll, particularly with Singing the blues, which gave him an American top twenty hit. Guy Mitchell, a friend of Marty's, originally refused to record the song but did so once Marty's version had dropped out of the charts. Guy took the song to the very top of the American pop charts. In the UK, Guy's version had to compete ... Read More:

Ten Thousand

CD-Charts > Music > Country
by: Agnostic Mountain Gospel Choir

Release Date August 11, 2008
Not only are the Agnostic Mountain Gospel Choir a brilliant live band, their new album is a swirl of blues rhythms,mashed-up with country and punk. The vocals are a bit Tom Waits-y, and that's meant in a good way. From crawling, clanking Son House numbers to whirling dervish roots workouts, if you like your music raw and exciting these are the boys for you.

The Tour Collection

CD-Charts > Music > Country
by: Dolly Parton

Release Date June 09, 2008
The first thing to say about this collection is that although some of Dolly's hits are here, a lot of them are missing including Jolene, 9 to 5, Here you come again, Coat of many colors, Two doors down, Joshua, Bargain store, The seeker, Old flames and You're the only one (to name a few). This is not, and was never meant to be, a hits collection. Plenty of those are already available. I'm sure that a lot of fans would have been happy for this collection to completely avoid the obvious classics (I know that I would) but I guess that commercial reality necessitated the inclusion of some of them.

At the other end of the spectrum, nine tracks (Bubbling over, Love with me, Because I love you, Most of all why, Robert, Chas, I'm doing this for your sake, Take me back, Blackie ... Read More:

The Ultimate Gospel Album

CD-Charts > Music > Country
by: Johnny Cash

Release Date March 05, 2007
Excellent CD. The old traditional hymns really hit home. Definitely worth listening to such inspiring music. It is unfortunate that the old time hymns have been forgotten, and so this recording by Johnny Cash reminds one that there was once good Christian oriented music. By contrast, the new contemporary Christian music panders to modern "pop culture" and sounds is if it was sung by some washed up Vegas lounge lizard.

IV

CD-Charts > Music > Country
by: Chatham County Line

Release Date March 03, 2008
Not your standard bluegrass collection - much quirkier and better for it. Production very sharp with all instruments picked out very clearly; vocal harmonies very strong, but songs all stand up to examination. 'The Carolinian' and 'Country Boy/City Boy' both excellent.

The Mystery

CD-Charts > Music > Country
by: Tommy Emmanuel

Release Date September 25, 2006
If you cant get to see TE in his natural environment - i.e. live rather than the recording studio - his acoustic solo albums are of some consolation. I give this 4.9 stars because it's live that he's a 5 star player. It's live that his personality really comes into his playing as well as his jaw dropping technique. IMO this album's even better than Endless Road and Only and that's saying something as both those albums are essential purchases for anyone serious about becoming a better guitarist. Dont waste your time with all these 'rock god' numpties and their batteries of effects units etc. TE's the man to TRY to emulate, not that most of us will get anywhere near him.
