In Our Nature

CD-Charts > Music > World and Folk
by: Jose Gonzalez

Release Date September 24, 2007
Not bad, nice playing etc but just lacking in texture and adventure. Try Nick Worrall for the sort of thing you wish this this was.

Rodrigo Y Gabriela [CD + DVD]

CD-Charts > Music > World and Folk
by: Rodrigo Y Gabriela

Release Date November 26, 2007
This is the most thrilling, exciting sound I have heard in ages. What amazing talent and energy! I cannot stop playing it night or day, it is so uplifting.
Even when I am not playing it, the rhythms and melodies keep coming into my head and I find myself nodding,tapping my feet or drumming with my fingers in tempo. The sound quality in general is absolutely superb, however, can anyone explain the small blip of interference between track 2 and 3 ? It only lasts a few seconds but I think this couple deserve perfection in the recording of their performance. I was also a little disappointed in the quality of the DVD production.
In spite of these criticisms I heartily recommend this album and still give it five stars!

Everybody Knows This is Nowhere

CD-Charts > Music > World and Folk
by: Neil Young

Release Date October 01, 1999
Shortly after his first album Young released a rather patchy album that's real claim to fame was the first appearance of Crazy Horse. The voice is more assured than on the opener but that takes away some of the quirkiness that made the opener sound fresher than a rather stodgy offering in which Young seems to be desperately trying to make a niche for himself.

The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan

CD-Charts > Music > World and Folk
by: Bob Dylan

Release Date March 29, 2004
I'm not one of Bob Dylan's biggest fans, though I agree with the view that he has no equal as a wordsmith. Indeed, his book 'Chronicles' suggests that he could have been one of the world's premier writers or novelists had he chosen books instead of guitars. When people elevate later albums such as 'Blood On The Tracks' to 'greatest album' status, though, I chuckle. Dylan's reputation is built on the albums he made during the 1960s, starting with 'Freewheelin''. In 1962/63, the average pop album consisted of half an hour of cover songs. From a member of the same generation, a student of folk music, came over three quarters of an hour of original material, bar two songs. Dylan did admit to nicking the odd tune, but that's not an unusual practice.

Solo Acoustic Vol.2: Live

CD-Charts > Music > World and Folk
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 is strictly ... Read More:

Light Flight - The Anthology

CD-Charts > Music > World and Folk
by: Pentangle

Release Date February 26, 2008
I saw Bert Jansch live last year and thought I really ought to check Pentangle out. This is a great compilation for someone new to the band. Unlike Fairport who were a bit "west coast pop" in a folky way, Pentangle were a very "jazzy" folk band. You can hear it in the arrangements and the guitar solos. Jacqui McShee also has a lovely voice.

Paint the Sky With Stars: The Best of Enya

CD-Charts > Music > World and Folk
by: Enya

Release Date July 31, 2002
i must say that i were quite unexpected to the bold ear. when i heard this music come from this disc i thought "how could it be?". the Orinoco flow and the other song, i thought "this cant be. what have i done?". i then thought to myself "why is orinoco flow here but STARS ARE BLIND are not here?". then it occurred to me... i had not purchased Paris Hilton's album. i had indeed accidentally purchased enya's lumpy turd of an album and felt repulsed and publicly humiliated.

as i was jamming to Kate Nash in my room an hour later i decided to Frisbee Anya's CD in my cats little box and they excreeted on the disc. i have now found good use to this disc. i use it as a scooper to scoop up cat turds and i have dissembled the case and put the booklets of Paris Hilton's ...

New Skin for the Old Ceremony

CD-Charts > Music > World and Folk
by: Leonard Cohen

Release Date April 01, 1996
As the caption says, Not impressed. Would not recommend this if you like the "Normal" Cohen style. Will keep trying in the hope that it grows on me.

Liberation Transmission

CD-Charts > Music > World and Folk
by: Lostprophets

Release Date June 26, 2006
I only discovered this band about a year ago and this album is without doubt my favourite of the moment (and I've been playing it for a year now!). Every song is excellent. Rock music you can sing along to!
