Modern Guilt
Beck
Interscope Records, 2008
Beck - Modern Guilt 8/10
The pairing of Americana-junk maestro Beck and radical producer extraordinaire Danger Mouse seems at first glance so obvious, so undeniably right, that it's hard to believe Beck didn't enlist the mash-up auteur sooner. One is a musician whose defined his career with ...

Simply Grand
Irma Thomas
Rounder / Umgd, 2008
A real head-turner
This is the record that will make you listen to Irma Thomas with new ears. The formula -- Irma plus a succession of pianists in an all-acoustic setting -- sounds gimmicky, but it puts the spotlight on her singing and interpretive skills, and the lady bats these songs ...

The Rules of Hell
Black Sabbath
Rhino Records, 2008
Great Stuff!
I'm not going to go into the Ozzy versus Ronnie versus Tony Martin versus Ian Gillan etc debut. The simple fact is that each singer brought their own vibe to the band and all of them are great singers in they're own right. However Ronnie seems to fit the Sabbath sound ...

This Moment
Steven Curtis Chapman
Sparrow, 2007
Pray for the family.
Please keep Steven Curtis Chapman and his family in your prayers. The song Cinderella is about his youngest daughter who went to be with Jesus yesterday. Cinderella, along with Miracle of the Moment, is one of my favorite songs on the CD. Again, please keep the ...

Two Men With The Blues
Willie Nelson/Wynton Marsalis

Willie Nelson & Wynton Marsalis
Willie and Wynton and Louis Armstrong's ghost. An unusual combination that melds New Orleans with Texas.A treat for jazz and country fans.

Number Ones
ABBA
Polydor / Umgd, 2006
Global Sucess!
These eighteen ABBA's songs represent the best and you probably won't tire of them. It is amazing that four Swedes (Benny Andersson and Björn Ulvaeus as writers and Anni-Frid Lyngstad and Agnetha Fältskog as the main singers) could take such simple English clichés and ...

Same Old Man
John Hiatt
New West Records, 2008
John Hiatt's best in a long while
Never met a John Hiatt album I didn't like, but this one is cream of the crop.
For me 'Walk On' was Hiatt's last album for the ages. The self-aware and lackluster follow up, 'Little Head', was a bit of a disappointment and it's been a mixed bag since then. ...

Celine Dion, Anne Geddes

Sounds great!
Very happy with this CD. I'm not a huge Celene fan, but I purchased this for my 2 month old son. It lulls him to sleep just fine. Her voice is flawless.

Here and Gone
David Sanborn
Decca U.S., 2008
A little too laid-back, but still a solid, 'classic' Sanborn.
David Sanborn is, and has always been, rather better than that. An A-list session player, perhaps best known to the wider world for guesting on David Bowie's "Young Americans", he was also a stalwart of the Brecker Brothers band, and on top form he can lend more ...

I am so pleased with this video. Blanca's explanations are very easy to follow, and her soothing voice makes learning the moves easier. She is amazing and I am learning the moves rather quickly.

Decca, 2005
Great voice, great songs
She truly does a beautiful job singing Enya's "May it Be" from LOTR. Another favorite of mine on this album is "Dell'Amore Non Si Sa", a duet with Andrea Bocelli. Need I say more? You'll enjoy this album.

Sugarland Hits it out of the Park with "Love on the Inside"
I am a Sugarland fan from their very first hit "Baby Girl" and after seeing them perform this summer, eagerly awaited their release of "Love". And deliver they did with songs that share the essense of what Sugarland is all about! I can't get enough of "What I'd ...

This album is not only great, it is inspiring. I have listened to this album, probably, 100 times this summer. Everyone I have exposed to this album has purchased it. I cannot give a higher recommendation than this!

Rock n Roll Jesus
Kid Rock
Atlantic, 2007
Fantastic CD!
This is the Kid Rock I love! Plenty of songs with a southern rock feel, and many with lyrics that can really make me laugh. I bought it for "All Summer Long" but my new favorite is "Blue Jeans and a Rosary."

An acquaintance of mine (friend of friends)plays Bloody Mary so I am predisposed to like it. But I was not disappointed in any aspect. I loved the original and loved the movie and I love this. I hope I can get to see it in a year or two. Also, the backdrop for the ...
