One On One - Clark Terry

Advantages: This is a live peformance
Disadvantages: It's not a triple album

...One More Car, One More Rider by Eric Clapton When this album came out I hadn't made my annual pilgrimage to see Mr Clapton for a few years as he seemed to be taking a break. So I was having withdrawal symptoms of live music at its best and that's what you get from this artist his best at every performance. So it was with great relief that I received this CD for a present for Christmas 2003. . Although in 2004 I saw him at the M.E.N. in Manchester. When putting the CDs on I would make sure you're not interrupted as this is a live CD. Tracks on the first CD Open with a sit down set. 1. Key To The Highway - written by William Broonzy and Charles Seegar - This song kicks the album off and it is one of the best and most covered blues. Most famously by Brownie McGhee & Sonnie Terry.

Disadvantages: none that I can think of

...Terri Clark is one of those artists that just gets better every time you listen to her music. This CD is all about her different styles from what I call pop country on "Thats me not loving you" to a real country song on "Cure for the common heartache". The fact that Terri Clark can cover such a range of styles shows what a talented artist and songwriter she is. All of the songs on this CD can evoke a different mood when you listen to them, but put them together and you just sit back and enjoy the show. My personal favourites are "Everytime I cry" and "Unsung hero", but they are all good tracks in their own right.
