10 Yr Overnight Success - Black Oak Arkansas

Advantages: All the tracks are better then their older stuff
Disadvantages: You only get 13 tracks, it makes their older stuff look pale.

...in 2007, and they are still with them today. -------------The Tracks---------- Well, what you probably opened this review for, you want to know whether you should buy this CD or not, I say go for it anyway, even if you hate the music, because ' The Black Swan' is a movement that is against the discrimination of homosexual and negro people, which I find worth supporting. However, its great to have a good CD from somebody you support, so here goes. 1. "Choose Your Fate" - 3:34 ~ 9/10 First Track, starts with spoken text, like a radio broadcast.

The groove is on, the bottom end is so far down you'll put your back out stretching to reach it, hell, what more do you want?

This was my least favourite single she released from this album, I didn't like it that much it's very slow and I don't like the background music i don't think the two go together very well, however the singing is very good quality. The 5th song released from this album is 'Love Is A Losing Game', it was released on 10th December 2007. It has... Read review
