Alone Vol.2 - John Lee Hooker

Advantages: EXCELLENT ALBUM
Disadvantages: NONE

...Everyone should remember Rickie Lee Jones for the famous songs ‘Chuck E’s in Love’, and ‘Easy Money’. She has a style that fits in with the jazzy fans of the world, her music is a melting pot of folk, jazz and rhythm and blues. Just imagine yourself sitting in a Jazz café, drinking a whiskey on the rocks in a smoke filled room and a hypnotic, laid back tune will probably be playing in the background… it’s probably Rickie Lee Jones. Her voice is addictive, it’s sweet and calming making you want to listen to her album more and more. I discovered Rickie Lee Jones about the same time I started getting into Blues, with the likes of BB King and John Lee Hooker, just two of Jazz & R&B greats. Rickie Lee Jones quite easily fits into that category. Tracks on her album include: Chuck E... Read review

...‘Boom Boom Boom Boom’, how many people out there remember that one? John Lee Hooker is a pure blues artist, he’s been one of the greats since 1948. Yes… dating back to World War II. He comes from Mississippi, so I don’t think I have to explain any more of that… the hometown of Jazz, R&B and soul greats. His voice is deep and husky, and his toe tapping jazz tunes sure make you feel like you should be sitting on a veranda in Tennessee somewhere. (Wearing those denim overalls, with a cask of whiskey… not a glass). This is a great album for the serious Rhythm & Blues listener, even if you’re not a fan or a bit of the uneducated side when it comes to music.. have a listen… this is how music began! Tracks on the best of album include: Boom Boom Rouble Blues Crawlin' Kingsnake... Read review

Advantages: so good to listen to
Disadvantages: none

...Starring Meg Ryan and Nicholas Cage in a romantic movie. Cage plays Seth an angel who takes people to heaven when there time is up. Seth meets Maggie and they fall in love, however, things are not that simple…..are they ever. It’s a good film, and soppy in parts. The story is quite good and the acting from the two characters is excellent. You don’t have to believe in Angels to like this film, its just so natural and serene the atmosphere the two create. The ending is quite sad and will bring a tear to your eyes. However, the soundtrack is excellent, its got some excellent songs: 1. U2 god will send his angels 2. Alanis Morissette Uninvited 3. Jim Hendrix Red House 4. Paula Cole Feelin’ Love 5. John Lee Hooker Mama. You got a daughter 6. Sarah McLachlan Angel 7. Goo Goo Dolls Iris 8. Peter Gabriel I... Read review
