A road worth travelling

Advantages: Fantastic Singer/Songwriter/Musician
Disadvantages: The CD has to come to an end (unless you use repeat button)

...it was perilous underneath". Stones in the Road - the title song tells of how life used to be and how different it is now in modern times with a beautiful melody. A Keeper for every flame - A toe-tapper of a song about being guarded and not giving all of yourself to a relationship "Sometimes its a fire burning out of control/Sometimes its a candle burning long and low" Tender when I want to be - a song about finding the right person Trisha Yearwood ...
...- an upbeat number about a woman pulling the strings and being in charge in the relationship. Lee Roy Parnell plays guitar on this track. The last word - self explanatory this one, a relationship breaking down, the woman walking away giving the man the last word, I think this is the weakest song on this album The end of my pirate days - this one is about leaving a life of adventure behind and living out the rest of your days in solitude - "And ...

Review of Stones In The Road - Mary-Chapin Carpenter

The perfect marriage of Rhythm & Rhyme…

Advantages: Wonderful singer
Disadvantages: None come to mind

The perfect marriage of Rhythm & Rhyme… When this album was released in the March of 1992, I personally had never heard of K.D. Lang. All this was about to change with the release of “Constant Craving” as a single from the album I was completely blown away what a performance, I had never heard anything like it before. On one hand the vocals reminded me of an old torch singer like Peggy Lee or Patsy Cline but on the other hand ...
...the feel of Elvis or Roy Oribson, this was enough of a reason for me to go and buy the album. As the album opened with the track “Save me” I held my breath this was heart stopping stuff, as I checked the sleeve notes I saw not only was she a voice to die for but she co-wrote all the tracks, all with her producers Greg Penny and Ben Mink. This track also contained some excellent “Lap Steel Guitar” playing by Greg Leisz, which ...

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 ...
