Call Me Irresponsible Tour Edition

CD-Charts > Music > Easy Listening
by: Michael Buble

Release Date October 08, 2007
This is my favourite play at the moment, I guess that I am a little late in trying Mr Buble's music, but I am a convert. Think of a nicely warmed, quality single malt, good crystal glass, this is that smooth, just slides down, leaving a pleasant glow behind. Good in the car, great on the MP3 player, nice in the background during dinner with friends. This album has a great selection of tracks, well known classics of the genre, and others, new to me at least. Just try it!

The Jazz Singer: Original Soundtrack

CD-Charts > Music > Easy Listening
by: Neil Diamond

Release Date January 07, 2008
Not as enduring or magical as the soundtrack for Jonathan Livingston Seagull, but then again this is a completely different type of film that he was composing for. JLS was more of a spiritual journey which was perfectly complimented in the music, whilst Jazz Singer is more of a commercial movie of a "Boy Done Good" scenario.

Personally, I preferred the songs on JLS, or should I say his genre of music, less anthemic, which probably isn't a word, and more beautifully crafted. However you can't argue with success, and there have been enough hits pulled off this album to back up any argument against it. Perhaps it's because I've heard "America" spouted from every radio station ever since that I probably should have written this review when ... Read More:

Calm

CD-Charts > Music > Easy Listening
by: Tony White

Release Date March 10, 2000
I love love love this Cd. It is gentle and calming and exactly right for massage use and other calming therapies. There various tunes some with lilting vocals and ethenic influences. One tune reminds me a bit of Omars there is nothing like this as the intro is similar bass line of guitar. All my cleints love it and I listen to it over and over with out getting bored. It is just the right hint of relaxation and tuneful melodies. I highly recommend it to all. It is a good unwind at end of the day cd too.It has great mix of asain and western influences and I will be looking out for more of this type of Cd as does what it says.

Songbird

CD-Charts > Music > Easy Listening
by: Eva Cassidy

Release Date August 01, 2006
..is the only word for this album. I have never heard such a pure voice - you may have heard the songs before but you have never heard them sung like this. Eva's voice was unique - how very sad that the only video in existence of her singing is some amatuer footage taken at Blues Alley - where some of these tracks were recorded. If you can listen to "Autumn Leaves" without a lump in your throat - then you have no soul my friend.

The Ultimate Collection Special Edition

CD-Charts > Music > Easy Listening
by: Russell Watson

Release Date May 26, 2008

The first Ultimate collection was a single CD version released in 2006, this one is a reissue of that album plus a second disc of slightly more varied songs (less opera arias and more popular tracks) recorded live at the Royal Albert Hall.

For those who already have the original Ultimate version this should be a welcome addition to the collection, for the bonus disc is a worthy add-on rather than just a typical 'bonus disc' of alternative songs intended to boost sales.

And for those who have none of Russell's albums (where have you been?!) this is a perfect introduction to his singing.

Hot August Night

CD-Charts > Music > Easy Listening
by: Neil Diamond

Release Date March 20, 1999
For anyone who has never heard this album before and is looking for something that will leave them spellbound and completely exhausted of all emotions, I really envy you. For you, unlike the millions who already own this, still have the joy of listening to something that is really unique, for the very first time. Rarely can a combination of songs, performer and audience have come together so comprehensively as one, in such an emotionally charged package. From classic love songs to fever pitched gospel, Diamond takes you on a rollercoaster of moods . The energy and sensitivity of his performance has never been equalled. You can't fake an audience response, the like of which I have never heard before or since after his stunning rendition of Holly Holy. Something ... Read More:

Ultimate Manilow

CD-Charts > Music > Easy Listening
by: Barry Manilow

Release Date March 08, 2004
A fine collection of songs performed with class and elegance - as you would expect from B.M. A few words of caution however to those for whom audio quality is important. Although not mentioned on the sleeve notes, this compilation has been re-mastered, and in no small way.

There must be few sound engineers who continue clumsily plying their trade after the onset of profound tinnitus, but a listen to this CD suggests that there is somewhere, at least one determined but ill-advised sufferer.
Each track on this disc has identical heavy compression applied to the sibilant frequencies of the vocal range, pretty much eliminating the natural dynamics and obliterating the nuances of light and shade in B.M.'s capable voice. As an added bonus, this turns ... Read More:

12 Songs

CD-Charts > Music > Easy Listening
by: Neil Diamond

Release Date February 20, 2006
Let me say from the beginning that I am no Neil Diamond fan. Sure I love his voice and he has written some great music in the past but.. too often its all a little "Barry Manilow" for me.

This album is the exception and a total revelation. Raw, gritty and emotional, it has a depth and substance that we are not used to seeing from the artist.

A real slow burn.
