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 ...             Mess of Blues Jeff Healey Ruf (Idn), 2008 Must own!! This cd actually made me cry when I listened to it. I had forgotten how incredibly talented Healey was and now that he is gone, we have lost a truly amazing musician. This is an awesome release from an amazing individual. You must get this cd.             Raising Sand Robert Plant, Alison Krauss Rounder, 2007 An Unusual Pairing When I first heard about this pairing, I was skeptical to say the least. I just thought it was very odd. I have been a Robert Plant/Led Zeppelin fan for almost forty years. So naturally when I heard that 70s Rock God was recording an album with a bluegrass princess, I ...             From the Reach Sonny Landreth Landfall, 2008 Sonny-From the Reach I first saw Sonny in a Mark Knopfler video "A Night in London" a few years ago and figured, "If Mark Knopfler uses this guy, he must be good." I had no idea. I have seen him at least a dozen times live and every time he gives a great show. I've talked to him ...             City That Care Forgot Dr. John and the Lower 911 429 Records, 2008 Brilliant and sooo appropriate By far, one of Dr. J's best works. This cd says it all and with a punch like only this icon can deliver. I'm so glad Dr. J is back.             Keep It Simple Van Morrison Lost Highway, 2008 Typical, incredible Morrison Typical, incredible Morrison. As always, the more I listen the deeper the meaning . . . 'stretching time stretching time . . .'             Lay It Down Al Green Blue Note Records, 2008 Soul Satisfaction Lay It Down is an amazing statement. This is among the most satisfying discs I've listened to in years. It delivers right up the middle in the sweet spot of staying true to who Al Green is (no silly attempts to sound like an erstwhile 20 year old) while somehow seeming ...             The Declaration Ashanti Universal Motown, 2008 Fantastic! She has done it once again and her voice has not gone out of style. My favorites are 2. The Way That I Love You, 3. You're Gonna Miss, 4. So Over You, 5. Struggle, 6. Girlfriend, 8. In These Streets, 9. Good Good, 10. Body On Me, and 12. Shine. But all are good songs, ...             Self Portrait Lalah Hathaway Stax Records, 2008 music that gets yo head right! I'm glad she finally went more on the Neo-soul/Nu-Soul route with this cd. Her last cd experimented with the genre, but didn't seem to want to get away from the old 80's and 90's r&b sound. (not knockin' it. That was still good music back then!) this album felt like I ...             Attack and Release The Black Keys Nonesuch, 2008 Why You Need This Album NOW! A lot of people are saying that this album is too "polished" for a Black Keys project; but I don't hear the "polish," I hear genius. While tracks like "I Got Mine" or "Strange Times" deliver exactly the kind of scorching "attack" the title promises, it's in the album's ...             On and On Jack Johnson Umvd Labels, 2003 my favorite album...ever I absolutely love this album, in my opinion, it's jack's best album. and i own all of them. It's one that you can listen to over and over and it doesn't get old. Every single song is great, but my favorites are: Traffic in the Sky, Gone, Rodeo Clowns, Cocoon, Cookie ...             New Amerykah, Pt. 1: 4th World War Erykah Badu Motown, 2008 Adrianna This album is amazing.

Easily one of the best albums of the year. buy it.             Love the Woman Chanté Moore Peak Records, 2008 Chante' has a WINNER, this was worth the wait!!! I LOVE this CD. Despite other reviews which make you think it's weak, forget it! Buy it you won't be sorry. If you purchase it at Circuit City it has a bonus cut, This Could be the Start of Something Big taken from Aretha Franklin's version 1965 CD called, "YEAH". This ...             Complete Clapton Eric Clapton Reprise / Wea, 2007 COMPLETE CLAPTON ISN'T GOD, BUT IT AIN'T BAD ! (Slowhand's life in music has been quite a journey) Eric Clapton is well known as one of the greatest guitarists in the history of rock music, and I won't argue with that. His career as a blues-rock guitarist has been both innovative and astonishing ("Clapton is God" graffitti was a popular underground tribute to the ...             Exclusive Chris Brown Jive, 2007 Exclusive If you like Exclusice then you will LOVE..
