Dylan, Unplugged. Great musical journey.

Advantages: Dylan fans will love this.
Disadvantages: None-Dylan fanes my not.

Excellent sound quality thought-out. I think this is one of the best Live Dylan I have heard. Starts with the wonderful Tombstone blues-Clear messages great vocals. Then, settling goes into the romantic Shooting stars. Bursting into All along the watchtower followed by the times they are a changing’ makes you want to stand up and sway from side to side and join in with the singing. John Brown is harrowing; you can do nothing else but listen to ...
...then gets faster for Rainy day woman-this change in tempo is a real pleasure. A beautiful love song follows, this is really nice live and clear. Dignity is interesting-you have to just listen to it and enjoy. Knockin’ on heavens door is nothing unusual or exiting, just good music, and lyrics. Dylan finishes with God on our side a great finish to a great concert. ...

Review of Unplugged - Bob Dylan

"Pour Myself A Cup Of Ambition"

Advantages: Many of Dolly's greatest hits are included
Disadvantages: Only 21 songs, so some hits are missing

Dolly Parton is one of the most successful country singers of all time. Whilst staying true to the music of her Smokey Mountain roots she has also crossed over into the realms of pop as well as acting, and her catchy tunes and heartfelt lyrics have appealed to people from all walks of life throughout the four decades of her career. THE 'IRON BUTTERFLY' SPREADS HER WINGS "I'm proud of my humble beginnings, the fact that dreams can come true for just ...
...Dolly Rebecca Parton was born the fourth of twelve children in 1946 to a mother married at fifteen and a moon-shiner sharecropping father, who paid the doctor who attended Dolly's birth with a bag of cornmeal. She grew up in a run-down one room mountain cabin in Locust Ridge, Tennessee, soaking up the influences of her country surroundings. She was taught gospel music and the old mountain songs of Appalachia by her mother and grandmother, and began ...

Review of Ultimate Dolly Parton - Dolly Parton

A CD worth buying- The Best of LeAnn Rimes

Advantages: You Can listen to it with your children with no worries about language or content, for the most
Disadvantages: I think I enjoyed her voice more when she was younger.

This cd brought me back to being 10 years old when LeAnn's first major album came out. I like that you can hear how she's developed her own sound over the years, as she has grown from girl to woman. The lyrics are good and they get better with the ones that she is directly involved in writing. The whole album is a high quality recording. As far as being compared to others in her field, I'd say it fares pretty well. I mean, considering the fact that ...

Review of Song's Best Friend, A (The Very Best Of John Denver) [Remastered] - John Denver

The Best of Leonard Cohen

Advantages: Cohens influencial greatness, lovely songs
Disadvantages: ...No Hallelujah

OPINION I first heard of Leonard Cohen at a friends house as a record, the song was "Suzanne" and I loved it. I remembered the name and to my delight I found his CD in the Woolworths price crunch a while back now. His songs are so calming but have lyrics that explore ideas of religion, isolation, sexuality and complex interpersonal relationships, so as calm as they seem their underlying provocations are deeply moving. ARTIST Leonard Cohen is a ...
...rooted in European folk music, his 1970's music encompasses pop, chaberet and world music and since the 1980's his high baritone voice took on more low registers, often accompanied by electronic synthesizers and female backing singers. His writing has influenced lots of singer-songwriters and more than a thousand renditions of his work have been recorded. TRACK LIST 1. Suzanne 2. Sisters Of Mercy 3. So Long Marianne 4. Bird On The Wire 5. Lady Midnight ...
