I have heard this album a number of times now and each time I find something else to like about it. She is a very young lady with an old soul. Great stuff.

Tangled Up

CD-Charts > Music > Music
by: Girls Aloud

Release Date November 19, 2007
One year on this sounds as fresh as ever but I'm still wondering why they didn't release Girl Overboard as a single??

Apart from this I don't really have much to add to previous reviews, I just thought I should add my 5 stars to the ratings mix...

Poor Man's Heaven

CD-Charts > Music > Music
by: Seth Lakeman

Release Date June 30, 2008
Well, album number 4 from Seth Lakeman finds him backed by a major label. Not good news for someone who's used to recording albums in kitchens. So, it was with some scepticism that I listened to Poor Man's Heaven and it was to say the least, a huge letdown. For a start, I don't personally LIKE the songs. They are bland to the extreme, and as several reviewers have already noted, mostly at the same tempo. Did his metronome break or something? Not good. On the plus side, I do like Crimson Dawn and Solomon Browne. The latter is a slightly obscure subject but is poignant and comes across well, despite sounding cluttered - a sparser sound may have suited it better and let the lyrics breathe a little.

To me it all sounds far too mainstream ... Read More:

Back To Black: Deluxe Edition

CD-Charts > Music > Music
by: Amy Winehouse

Release Date December 03, 2007
You simply cannot produce a gem like this without coming from the wrong side of the tracks. Amy has put her heart and soul in to this, she has lived it for real. A priceless addition to any music collection. You only get the chance to find someone like Amy once in a lifetime if you're really lucky. We've hit the jackpot so lets all enjoy her while we can. BIG UP to Amy and the production team behind her music. A perfect TEN.

Grace (New Version)

CD-Charts > Music > Music
by: Jeff Buckley

Release Date September 13, 2004
It seems to me that the best songs/tracks on this CD are (perhaps inevitably) the three standards, ie, "Hallelujah", "Lilac Wine" and "Corpus Christie Carol."

With regard to the first of these, I can't say I agree with a previous reviewer that Jeff Buckley's rendering totally supersedes the original.
Leonard Cohen , with that memorable, bantering growl of his, makes Buckley sound somewhat like a tearful choirboy!

It was interesting to hear the Britten piece but it comes from a choral work and Buckley's solo, pop-folk treatment - though possibly OK as a concert encore item - does not do it justice. But, on the other hand, "Lilac Wine" comes over very effectively and is the best recording of this song that I have heard.

The John Rutter Christmas Album

CD-Charts > Music > Music
from: Collegium

Release Date November 04, 2002
I thought this CD had got lost in our recent house move and was delighted when it turned up in one the last boxes to be opened. I immediately rushed to listen again even though it is early March and am once again entranced by the warmth and beauty of the music and the singing. You really can play this CD anytime in the year and that is what I am doing now! If you buy it you will not be disappointed!
