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 ...

Shine
Estelle
Atlantic, 2008
Integrated Sounds
ShineI am a minor historian of roots music, and find Estelle's "Shine" album a delightful find. I was immediately enthralled by "Wait a Minute," the first cut on this album. There are subtle musical influences that perhaps even the artists, particularly Estelle and ...

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 ...

It's Time--Michael Buble
Michael Buble's remakes of various songs have invariably been successful. This CD is no exception. I highly recommend purchasing it.

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 ...

One Chance
Paul Potts
Sony, 2007
Simply wow!
A friend sent me the YouTube segment of Paul winning the 'Britain's Got Talent' show and I knew I wanted to hear more. I am not a major fan of opera music but I like it now and then and this cd by Paul is definitely one I will listen to often. I hope he does more.

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.

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. ...

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 ...

Gets You in the Flow!
I've been a fan of Kelly Howell for many years and highly recommend her Brain Sync CDs. The Secret Universal Mind Meditation is based on the work of U.S. Andersen. His book, "Three Magic Words" is also a must read.
The two combined are very powerful tools. Howell's ...

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.

Duffy's music, especially Mercy is soulful and emotionally potent. She belts out her songs with no apologies and takes no prisoners. Her voice has a high tone but unlike some reviewers who think she screeches, I think it is unique and quite appealing. She can hold ...

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."
