Album Reviews: Dirty Linen (p.83) - "[T]he folks at Putumayo have decided to explore the more gentle side of the country's music...[and] also chose to make room for some new discoveries."
Advantages: amazing compilation of songs Disadvantages: a few not to my taste, only a bare amount
...A wonderful collection of purely acoustic songs. Inlucding the likes of James Blunt, David Gray, Maroon 5, Eva Cassidy, Bob Dylan, Jeff Buckley and many more.
Included in the album are two seperate cds, each as good as each other i especially like the fact there are 19 tracks to each cd which brings the total number of tracks to 38.
The only downside could be that there were a few songs that i didnt recognise but have grown to like through various listens.
An amazing compilation of tracks including information on variousartists albums whose tracks are includded on the cd.
I would definitely recoommend this album as it had enhanced some very nice emotions and created a very calmly atmosphere for either daytime or before you hit the hay.
A stunning collection of today's finest singer songwriters!...

Advantages: Some favourites and a lot of unknown beauties Disadvantages: none off the top of my head
...of the 39 tracks on this I only owned 2 of them before hand so it's not like you're paying £13.99 for a load of tracks you've already got. At least I didn't have - I can't speak for everyone of course..
Listen to it when you want to lay back and relax, when you want some background music to work to or even if you want a sing-a-long. It's brilliant.
As I've put in the drop down box affair below the quality and consistency is excellent and I've listened to other acoustic albums and not enjoyed them even half as much. The mix of "pop" artists with "indie" as well as classic performers such as Eric Clapton is wonderful.
Kick back with a cuppa and realx. Two thumbs up.
And now the tracks.
DISC 1
1. U2 Satellite of love
2. Sheryl Crow - Strong enough
3. Eric Clapton - Let it grow
4. Paul Weller - Wild wood
5. Elvis Costello...

Advantages: Many different types of rock and fantstic artists - the best of 2006 and 2007 Disadvantages: Could have more hardrock artists in and and second CD hasn't as much good artists in
...A fantastic CD with lot's of different kinds of rock. The best bands of 2006 and 2007 put in one CD. Artists like Snow Patrol, Razorlight, The Fratellies, The Arctic Monkeys, Automatic, The Ordinary Boys, The Killers, Keane, Franz Ferdinand, Kaiser Chiefs, The Kooks and the list goes on. Has two CD's and has 40 tracks, 20 on each CD. Has new up coming artist such as Wolfmother. has many artists winners from the Brits: The Killers who won best national CD and best national band, The Arctic Monkeys won best British CD and best British band. The Fratellis won an award too and many more Brit award winning artists. A fantastic purchase well worth its money. A great buy. I recommend definitely to people anywhere between 8 and 100 if they enjoy that kind of music. It even has some live performing artists such as 'The Arctic Monkeys' on tour...
