by: Bonnie Raitt

Release Date May 12, 2003

I bought this album on the strength on the one song i heard on the radio " I Cant Make You Love Me" and was suprised to find so many other gems on this album. I really didnt know alot about Bonnie Raitt but i am glad that i do now, she has a really sweet voice and the songs are just beautifull they really seem to hit me where i am at in my life at this present moment.

I would recommend her to anyone.

Kill To Get Crimson

CD-Charts > Music > Country Rock
by: Mark Knopfler

Release Date September 17, 2007
I read a couple of reviews about this disc, and decided to give it a go. It duly arrived. I played it. Twice. The first time, I nodded off halfway through it. The second time, I switched it off about three quarters of the way through. It really never gets going. I wanted desperately to like it, but I can't. Wander through any large car boot sale and you'll come across a stand with a radio blasting out Irish folk music. And this is what this disc sounds like. Daniel O'Donnell with a better guitar backing. A great pity, it should have been so good.

Dylan (3CD) (Deluxe Edition)

CD-Charts > Music > Country Rock
by: Bob Dylan

Release Date October 01, 2007
The incentive to get the De Luxe Edition of this CD is the packaging of it.I mean for a start this won't be available for long.
But with all this Dylan in the catalog surely the time is right for one of his recent covers done on his tours

Border Town: the Very Best of J.D. Souther

CD-Charts > Music > Country Rock
by: J.D. Souther

Release Date October 01, 2007
JD Souther has long been known to afficionados of West Coast music as the writer of a string of hits for others, and as a superb performer in his own right. This compilation, together with a new EP and a forthcoming new album (his first since 1984), should give his music the higher profile that it so richly deserves.

Hits written or co-written by Souther include several Eagles tracks ('New Kid in Town', 'Best of My Love', 'Heartache Tonight', 'Victim of Love') and others recorded by artists as diverse as Linda Ronstadt, George Strait, Glenn Campbell and James Taylor. The enduring appeal of Souther's compositions is underscored by the Eagles' choice of a Souther song for the first single off their new album.

This album showcasing his performing ... Read More:

Completely Hooked: the Best of Dr. Hook

CD-Charts > Music > Country Rock
by: Dr. Hook

Release Date June 01, 1992
Dr Hook and the Medicine show (as they were originally named) combined country and rock music with a dash of humor. They began with a major international hit, Sylvia's mother, which was about a man pleading over the telephone to be allowed to speak to Sylvia, hoping that she would come back to him, but her mother wouldn't let him. Another notable songs from their Medicine show period is Cover of the Rolling stone (about the front cover of a magazine).

After shortening their name to Dr Hook, they released their strongest album (A little bit more) and had a major international hit with the title track. Other major hits followed including If not you, More like the movies, When you're in love with a beautiful woman, Better love next time and Sexy eyes.

The Very Best of the Byrds

CD-Charts > Music > Country Rock
by: Byrds

Release Date June 05, 2006
The Byrds along with The Velvet Underground the most underrated band of the 60s. The Byrds probably the founding fathers of Psychedelia, mixing folk,country and psychedlic rock makes them one of the most influential bands of all time.
Starting With Mr Tambourine Man one of the finest covers of all time, with a fantastic guitar riff, Turn,Turn,Turn and brilliant riff as well and one of my favourite Byrd Songs, and ofcourse the unmistakable Eight Miles High one of the finest Psychedelic songs of all time, Featuring Dave Crosby and Roger McGuinn recognisable 12 string guitar maes the Byrds in my view just as important and influential as The Beatles, Bob Dylan, and the Kinks, this is just a brilliant Compilation.

Copperhead Road

CD-Charts > Music > Country Rock
by: Steve Earle

Release Date March 20, 1999
Steve Earle music is best described as country-rock. The skull and cross bones that form the cover of Copperhead Road album warn of what is to come, a heavy mix of potent music shot through with the reflections of an wild young man who is older than his years. Inserts show a relaxed Earle, fag in mouth, black shades and dressed in denim.

A strong start with 'Copperhead Road' on which you can apparently 'smell the whisky burnin'; 'The Devil's Right Hand' refers to a pistol and though the song has a strange lyrical resonace it isn't until 'Johnny Come Lately' (on which the Pogues play) when the album begins to rock..

'Johnny Come Lately' tells the story of a soldier off to Vietnam who hopes to return to his girl in London and take her home to the ... Read More:

The Hollies - Greatest Hits

CD-Charts > Music > Country Rock
by: Hollies

Release Date March 24, 2003
The Hollies are often overlooked in favour of The Beatles and The Kinks - true they didn't write all their own material and they followed trends rather than set them - but the bands melodic brand of harmony driven, guitar power-pop definately deserves reinvestigation. Lead by Allan Clarke and Graham Nash, The Hollies scored hit after hit through the mid to late 60's and even enjoyed belated chart action with the gorgeous 'Air That I Breath' in 1973. That their influence can be heard decades later with the likes of Teenage Fanclub, Dodgy and latterly The Feeling, is testiment to the quality of the singles compiled on this collection. Every hit, in every corner of the globe, is present and correct and, whilst this may be way too much Hollies for the casual admirer, for the ... Read More:
