The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust & the Spiders from Mars: Remastered

CD-Charts > Music > Singer-songwriters
by: David Bowie

Release Date September 06, 1999
I'll keep it short since others before me have reviewed it better than i could.

This album is one of the top 20 of all time and one of my personal favourite records. There's no better collection of tracks put together on an LP and Moonage Daydream maybe one of the best Rock songs of all time.
Every household should have this album

Love Is Hell

CD-Charts > Music > Singer-songwriters
by: Ryan Adams

Release Date May 03, 2004
buy it, if only for the last 60 seconds of "English Girls Approximately", which is utterly lovely.

The man has a rare talent, let's hope his label don't stifle it again

Greatest Hits

CD-Charts > Music > Singer-songwriters
by: Bruce Springsteen

Release Date January 01, 1995
You can't go wrong with Bruce Springsteen's entire catalogue, and seeing as how most are on a very low price you could pick them at random and still have a lot of nice surprises (but maybe not the Lucky Town era). This compilation is an interesting mix of tracks, but it barely scratches the surface particularly of the pre Born In The USA time and centres too much on the ones since then. There's practically nothing from Greetings, The Wild, Nebraska and Darkness, the huge amount of live tracks are also overlooked, so I think this is aimed more at the very casual listener who isn't concerned what great album tracks they're missing. Sadly only Born In The USA and one track off Born To Run get all the attention on the radio, so I say to anyone you should ... Read More:

Blood on the Tracks

CD-Charts > Music > Singer-songwriters
by: Bob Dylan

Release Date March 29, 2004
The album that, in 1974, brought Bob Dylan back from the semi-wilderness he'd been in and out of since 1967. A laid-bare, heart-rending reconstruction in the recording studio of his disintegrating marriage, "Blood On The Tracks" contains some of Bod Dylan's (and anybody's) finest recorded work. It is, needless to say, completely reccommendable to anyone think of trying Dylan's music out for size, and yes there are many who know far less about his work than those of us who were brought up on this album in the seventies. These people are whom this review is aimed at. The rest of us know it's great.

The overall feel of the album, musically, is acoustic, and it kicks in with three pared-down classics of the genre - the mighty, mighty, mighty ... Read More:

Solo Acoustic Vol.2: Live

CD-Charts > Music > Singer-songwriters
by: Jackson Browne

Release Date March 03, 2008
I am a long time Jackson Browne fan and have seen him live several times both with the band and solo. The previous solo album was an excellent effort and well worth five stars. Regrettably, this is not up to the standard of Vol.1 by any means.

I don't know why, perhaps some of the tracks were just not suited to a solo performance, perhaps these weren't the best performances but this album just doesn't gel. In particular, Somebody's Baby just didn't hit the spot at all and nor even did the usually excellent All Good Things. I was particularly disappointed by the rendition of "In the shape of a heart" which was just not as good as I remember it from the acoustic tour a couple of years ago.

On balance, I would have to say that this album ... Read More:

Transcendental Blues

CD-Charts > Music > Singer-songwriters
by: Steve Earle

Release Date April 19, 2004
Nick Hornby's 31 Songs mentions this album. Many of the other people I listen to refernece Steve Earle, so I bought it and listened and loved it. Why not 5 stars? Nobody is perfect but this is a thumping good album and a great introduction for me to Steve Earle - I will be buying more!

Graceland: Remastered and Expanded

CD-Charts > Music > Singer-songwriters
by: Paul Simon

Release Date July 26, 2004
This is one of my very favourite albums- I am usually a heavy metal fan but across any genre it is difficult to ignore genius and that is something that Paul Simon definately displays on Graceland.
However- having heard the original and the remaster, track down the original cd.
It's much better and I just wish record labels would stop pissing about with great albums to make some more money.
