Hymns Of The 49th Parallel

Advantages: You'll learn perfect singing technique from this album
Disadvantages: More songs on the album would have been great

Haunting voice, haunting songs, almost otherworldly. K D Lang really comes up with goods on this one. Her rendition of the Jane Siberry's "The Valley" is par excellence. The music is restrained yet emotional and seems to ebb and flow in all the right places with perfect timing. Of it goes without saying that on this album K D Lang's voice is the most commanding instrument in the ensemble. She must have had a lot of fun with this one because it truly ...

Full of Timeless country classics

Advantages: Bringing old tracks to the modern audience
Disadvantages: Doesn't really give Martina a chance to shine

Review of Best Of LeAnn Rimes, The - LeAnn Rimes

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 ...
