All I Intended to Be
Emmylou Harris
Nonesuch, 2008
Voice like an angel
I think all these reviews about how this "isn't country" are ridiculous. What defines "country" in this day and age? This is MUSIC, sung with perhaps the purest, southern-tinged voice in all of music. The songs are simple, down-home arrangements, with a touch of ...

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 ...

Steven Curtis Chapman

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.

Steve Winwood
Sony, 2008
An Old 60's Fan
I have been a fan of Steve Winwood since the 60's when I followed his career with The Spencer Davis Group, Traffic and Blind Faith. The changes reflect his creativity, his musicianship, his artistry.
This CD is incredible. There are elements of jazz, blues, and a ...

Love in the Time of Science
Emiliana Torrini
Virgin Records Us, 2004
Beautiful
I love this album. I adopted it from an old friend and it stayed in my stereo for a long time. It's truly beautiful and makes me want summer, but enjoy the rain. The music has elements of curiosity, whimsy, femininity, nostalgia, and a dreamlike tune to them. It ...

Alanis' new cd - very flavorful

This quote really resonates with me when thinking of Alanis Morissette's new cd Flavors of Entanglement.

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 ...

Seeing Sound will not disappoint true N*E*R*D fans
Fans that have followed the trio of Pharrell, Chad, and Shae will be refreshed at the ever-evolving sound of N*E*R*D.
The theatrics of "Time for Some Action" sets the pace, with the kicking bassline, but the tempo changes are a prelude to the many pace changes of ...

Disturbed
Warner Brothers, 2008
Bringing the melody to hard rock.
Without a doubt, Disturbed has proven that heavy metal can be more then how fast you can play. Nowadays "heavy" music has degraded into speed metal which has no real rhythm, and a singer who can, at best, growl lyrics out.
Disturbed has put out what is probably ...
