Album Notes: Doyle Lawson's been recording with various versions of Quicksilver since 1980, quietly perfecting the art of contemporary bluegrass over three decades, and the weight of that experience is immediately audible on 2009's LONELY STREET. Lawson and company are among the very few who manage to really bring bluegrass into the 21st century while both holding onto the music's roots and avoiding hidebound traditionalism. Standout tune "Ain't a Woman Somebody When She's Gone" is essentially acoustic honky-tonk, but the high-lonesome feel of "Oh Heart, Look What You've Done" could have come straight from the Bill Monroe playbook, and the focus on original material shows a forward-facing attitude too rare in bluegrass artists of Lawson's vintage.
...Jacquie Lawson has wonderful cards, offering interactive fun for the recipient. I could view these all day long. The cards come to life, as they are painted before your very eyes. Teddy and the seagulls, reminded me of fishing with my husband, feeding the seals with the bait, instead of catching fish.
Mr Teddy has many delightful adventures in these e-cards, well to all intents and purposes, he appears to be a male bear, but the summer holiday card, and the contents in his trunk, leaves a few questions unanswered. Maybe there is a Mrs Bear!! I will allow you to draw your own conclusions.
Cards ranging from the delightful, to the macabre (the witches brew) not my personal choice, but and indicator or how wide the selection is.
On a much more serious note, the bee and the butterfly weave a beautiful floral wreath, sure to bring...

Advantages: Lots of big tunes Disadvantages: A couple of tunes lack energy
...The Atlanta R&B singer Lloyd (Polite) released his second album in 2007. The record, ?Street Love? featured some of his most well-known tracks, and although he broke through with his debut, this is the album which had him really come up with some of his highest-quality work.
1. ?Lloyd? (Intro)
2. ?You?
Samplign Spandau Ballet?s ?True?, this one finds the artist doing a banger of a collaboration with Lil? Wayne, in the time when Weezy started off his streak of featured tracks designed as a build-up to his ?Tha Carter III? album. It gets this thing underway well and shows off his incredible vocals form the get-go.
**Five Stars**
3. ?Certified?
It is Jazzy Pha who is seen to behind this one, and it appears that he really knows what to do (based upon his Crunk & B work with other Atlanta R&B singers, and so in order to bring in that...

Advantages: Amazing poetry, and a large selection of it Disadvantages: He can't read poetry aloud...
...Originally I bought this book on a complete spur of the moment decision, if anything I liked the picture of the wolf on the front and I was looking for some new poetry to read. What was originally just an off the cuff, snap shot decision ended up being a scarily good buy. Which is very rare for me! Felix Dennis has become one of my favourite poets for his wit and his sarcasm...as well as his common sense approach towards today's world.
