Nine Lives 47 reviews
Steve Winwood
Sony, 2008
Nine Lives
Nine Lives is the sort of album you play two or three times as soon as you hear it. It makes you want to go back and explore the earlier Steve Winwood albums again.

Same Old Man (Deluxe CD/DVD Combo) 2 reviews
John Hiatt
New West Records, 2008
Cherry Red Hot
John Hiatt is the thinking mans Springsteen, he never fails to deliver. This collection as per usual, offers new delights with each listening ... he simply creates songs that wrap themselves around you and etch his lyrics on your brain as you identify with the emotions he delivers.
'Same Old Man' is a coming to terms with life, whether it be past hurt n pain caused to a loved one or just the ...

Gavin DeGraw
Rca, 2008
Exactly as expected
Once again Gavin offers us his remarkable work on his new album. His style has remained the same, yet the sound is still fresh and outstanding. Each song has its own story and meaning and it seems like he seeks to send a message out there(ex. "Medicate the Kids"). His lyrics are not that simple but able to touch every person, at every aspect. He speaks mostly of love, relationships and gives ...

Robert Plant, Alison Krauss
Rounder, 2007
Music that captures the imagination
If you are expecting Led Zeppelin, or Plant's earlier solo work, well, this isn't it. This is different. This is music to listen to, on a hot summer day, sitting on the old tire-swing among the sun-dappled trees, somewhere in Georgia. It's music to listen to at dusk, from the safety of your back porch, while you watch the ghosts flit among those trees. It's real, true, honest music that ...

I always enjoy this lady. And her being able to put out an album with the B sides of the stuff tells me and you too how talented she is. Not mention it is a good indication of what her fans like and want.

Van Morrison
Lost Highway, 2008
The best of the best
I have to say, I have come to realize this is one of my favorite albums of the year tied with Houston Marchman's - Naked The Best of Houston Marchman. Both are soooo good and I can listen to their voices over and over again and never get tired. Houston Marchman is special in that his music is filled with soul, passion, and solid lyrics. He truley has THE best singing vioce I have ever heard in ...

Colbie Caillat
Universal Republic, 2007
sweetest flowing songs
This is a true breath of fresh air. The music industry seems to like junk nowadays. In a music era where Cheap-looking sex-sells singers think they can sing but are all really trash....Colbie Caillat turns it all around and sings from the heart. I can't wait for more from her. Each and every song on this CD will take you to a good place. There is nothing bad about her or her music. Wonderful.

Levon Helm
Vanguard Records, 2007
He's seen fire and he's seen pain
Throat cancer took his voice, fire took his recording studio and yet, Levon Helm is back strong. His voice doesn't sound quite the same as it did in days of The Band, but you can tell it's him. Most of this music came from his roots, traditionals he heard as a kid in Arkansas. His daughter Amy, one of the key players in folk-roots Ollabelle, plays and sings along with him in addtion to Larry ...

Manhattan Records, 2008
This CD is fantastic!
My love for celtic music has been nurtured by time spent in the Canadian Maritimes on vacations but I have purchased several CDs over the past few years only to be disappointed.
Not so with this CD though. I have thoroughly enjoyed it & highly recommend it to my friends.

Sara Bareilles
Sony, 2008
Fiona Apple style...
This album is truly brilliant. I am a long time Fiona Apple fan and although Sara is not quite as brooding and profound as Ms. Apple she certainly has some very clever lyrics and great catchy piano based pop/rock. This album also has a greater appeal to the general population i'd say. I'm excited to see what she does in the future.

James McMurtry
Lightning Rod Rec., 2008
More Blows Against The Empire
I have no idea why some reviewers complain about the political content of some of James McMurtry's songs. He's been delivering rhetorical body blows ever since his first album and he surely sees no reason to stop now. So if you are a conservative like myself who enjoys McMurtry's music, you learn to laugh along with his well-honed and well-aimed jabs at those who have surely earned them. Sure ...

weepies at their best
Have one other CD of the Weepies "Say I Am You" This one is fantastic!! Almost every single song is beautiful. Both CD's have one great song after another. Certainly worth every cent. Will have these in my collection forever.

Yael has a fabulous, soulful voice. I don't speak or understand Hebrew (about 70-80% of the album is sung in Hebrew), but it doesn't really matter. Beautiful melodies.

A Fine Frenzy
Virgin Records, 2007
Unbelievable Find!
A few years ago, I discovered Elvis Costello for the first time. Soon after, it was Snow Patrol and the Killers. This year's tremendous musical discovery is A Fine Frenzy. This album completely picks me up and whisks me away wherever I'm going or doing. From the thought-provoking lilt of "Minnow & Trout" to the punchy pull of "You Picked Me" and the passionate pining of "Ashes & Wine," this album ...

Classy!
I know I'm a little late to be jumping on Norah's bandwagon, but this young woman's got it all, including The Handsome Band! Wow! This is the first of her music in my collection and nearly everyone I have shared it with wants to add it to their collections as well. This one's a keeper and I imagine I'll pick up another copy of it somewhere along the way besides some of her other CDs. If you ...

The Very Best of Peter, Paul & Mary56 reviews
Peter Paul & Mary
Rhino / Wea, 2005
incredible songs and hits from Peter, Paul & Mary
The Very Best of Peter, Paul & Mary is an impressive CD with twenty-five (yes, twenty-five) wonderful folk rock songs by Peter, Paul & Mary. They sing and play beautifully; and this album proves they were--and still are--extremely talented. The sound quality is excellent and the artwork is very well done.
"Early In The Morning" starts the CD with some great harmonizing and they sing their ...
