Manassas

CD-Charts > Music > Country Rock
by: Stephen Stills

Release Date January 01, 1996
I actually am addicted to this album. First heard it twenty years ago and loved it then, but time passed and I forgot about it. Bought it again on CD two years ago and I'm still addicted. There's rarely a day I'm not listening to it on my Pod. It's the perfect antidote to the mass of rubbish that's churned out every day on the radio. This is music that reconnects you to great songwriting, musicianship and, in some ways, to yourself.

Ragged Glory

CD-Charts > Music > Country Rock
by: Neil Young

Release Date September 10, 1990
So it's fair to say that without Neil Young's "dirty" guitar sound, perhaps grunge may not have been what we know today. From Pearl Jam working extensively with the man to Kurt Cobain quoting him in his suicide note, Neil Young was a driving influence. So in 1990, after the somewhat low key release of Nirvana's "Bleach," it begins to look like a new breed of musician may be coming out of Seattle, perhaps the torch is going to be passed on, and what Young started will be taken to its logical conclusion? Then Neil Young and Crazy Horse strike out with an album that proves that they not only influenced this scene, they can define it too. An album from a band in its third decade that just screams to be recognised as a contemporary of the likes of Nirvana, Pearl Jam, ... Read More:

Evil Urges

CD-Charts > Music > Country Rock
by: My Morning Jacket

Release Date June 09, 2008
This star rating thing is funny old business, as I write Evil Urges has an overall rating of 3.5 stars, on the strength of some very negative reviews from MMJ fans comparing Evil Urges unfavorably with their previous output. I agree the album isn't as good as either Z or It Still Moves but in the grand scheme of things it ain't no two star album, nor is it naive or unintelligent. The title track, think Curtis Mayfield via Lambchop with a bit of Prog-Rock thrown-in for good measure, is worth the price of the admission alone.

Heart of Stone

CD-Charts > Music > Country Rock
by: Chris Knight

Release Date September 02, 2008
If you are a fan of John Mellencamp then Chris Knight is definately for you. Offering the same southern alt rock and country vibes in his music, lyrics and vocals as Mellencamp does, he is no less a light for it and should share equal billing in your music collection. Recommended.

Tennessee Pusher

CD-Charts > Music > Country Rock
by: Old Crow Medicine Show

Release Date September 22, 2008
There are some good songs on this disc, but compared to their debut album it has no kick, I think O.C.M.S maybe a one trick pony.

by: Kasey Chambers and Shane Nicholson

Release Date September 16, 2008
Found Kasey Chambers after hearing a song of hers sung at a music festival and couldn't wait to find out more about her. The album is very well put together and the tracks are great. Highly recommend you listen to this album and check out her/their other albums.

Live Rust

I've never really bothered with live albums in the past, always finding them a poor substitute of actually being there. This album changed my mind...

The Band

CD-Charts > Music > Country Rock
by: The Band

Release Date September 11, 2000
I discovered The Band through being a fan of Bob Dylan. The story goes that one night they were at a venue and were asked who they were, and they answered, "We're The Band," as they were still with Dylan at the time.

This is a nice foray into traditional American, semi-country music with a very homely feel and some really moving and profound lyrics. It's easy to listen to but also stimulating and thought provoking.

The song which introduced me to their music was The Night They Drove Old Dixie down, and when I started listening to this album, I realised there were a few other tracks I know and I suspect the same would apply to most people who are just starting to get into the music of The Band. Examples are Rag Mama Rag, When You Awake, Up On Cripple ... Read More:
