LEGENDARY... the essence of CASH.

Advantages: Inspirational, soulful... definitely a must have.
Disadvantages: None.

If you purchase only 1 Johnny Cash cd... let it be this one. I grew up on Johnny Cash... my mum's favourite singer... unfortunately, like all teens, I turned my back on my mum's style of music and embraced bands like Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, The Rolling Stones, Elton John, Sting... etc... etc... And then... last year... I heard the song HURT on the radio. I was touched, my heart ached from all the sadness and desperation that poured from that ...
...many, many years. I'll admit, I purchased the cd for that song alone... shame on me once again for underestimating Johnny Cash's enormous talent. I had forgotten just how powerful a presence Johnny Cash was, how extraordinary his voice was... he is truly legendary. This cd is loaded choc-a-bloc with Cash's greatest ballads, from the heart-wrenching HURT to the comedic PERSONAL JESUS. This cd will make you smile, but it will also make you sad because ...

Review of Man Comes Around, The (American IV) - Johnny Cash

A look back over the career of Tim Buckley

Advantages: A wide scoping double CD album
Disadvantages: Misses his more experimental work

As many of you may know I'm a big admirer of Jeff Buckley, Tim's son. Though they shared little of their life time together, they shared some remarkable traits (they looked almost identical, and both were blessed with musical ability that was almost inhuman), as well as a tragic end, Jeff Drowned, Tim Od'd on Heroin both with many years ahead of them. Despite this both have legacy's that still hold strong today, and here is evidence of Tim's, this ...
...1966 debut album "Tim Buckley" through to his 1972 album "Greetings from L.A.". (Missing 2 of Tim's studio albums out altogether, in Sefronia (1973) and Look at the Fool (1974)). So a track by track review of 33 songs would get boring (trust me, after around 15 songs they become boring to write, so doubtless boring to read), so instead I'll just give an over-view of the track listing and what i think of a select few songs. Full track listing: ...

Review of Stronger - Carlene Carter

Rain and Fire in the Sky

Advantages: Killer title track, strong vocals, oustanding guitar and banjo playing
Disadvantages: The saccharine factor on a couple of tracks might leave a bitter aftertaste

There are two things that are guaranteed to evoke memories and they are music and smells. My father loved many types of music but what he was always drawn to was a man who could play a guitar while singing. Not an electric guitar however - for my father it had to be acoustic and if the performer could play 12 string then so much the better. So while he had LPs by Nat "King" Cole, Perry Como, The Seekers and Jerry Vale, the records he played the most ...
...Who is John Denver? Born in New Mexico in 1943 as Henry John Deutschendorf Jnr, Denver changed his name in honour of the state capital of Colorado - a place which inspired him creatively, emotionally and politically. Denver discovered the guitar at the age of 12 and from then he was destined to be a singer, songwriter and performer, and he cut his teeth on the folk circuit in the US, particularly on the east coast. His first success was as a ...
