Sky Songs Vol.1-2 - Bukka White

Advantages: Great songs
Disadvantages: Lack of well-known artists may put some people off.

...The soundtrack to the OC has always been one of the major selling points of the television series. This CD features 12 of the tracks found on the soundtrack of the television series. The CD includes the hugely popular theme song "California" by Phantom Planet as well as other songs from the series. My personal favourites include Alexi Murdoch's "Orange Sky" and the brilliant "We Used To Be Friends" by the Dandy Warhols. The mixture of styles of music makes for a unique CD, and the songs all fit perfectly into the album. This CD is essential for any fan of the television series and the songs will bring back memories of some of the show's most memorable moments. Highly recommended... Read review

Advantages: Fantastic music, His voice, BOB DYLAN has arrived!
Disadvantages: none!

.... No heavy production, nobody being able to tell him how to do his job. He wasn't a puppet in a place, he was the puppet master and that shines through in this album. You have Bob Dylan with his Acoustic Guitar and his Harmonica and of course his wonderfully unique voice. That's what you feel with this album and that's all there is: Bob Dylan, and although the title was no doubt picked for introductory reasons - it is the perfect title for this album! Track Listing 1) She's No Good (Jesse Fuller) 2) Talkin' New York (Bob Dylan) 3) In My Time Of Dyin' (Bob Dylan) 4) Man Of Constant Sorrow (Arr by Dylan) 5) Fixin' To Die Blues (Bukka White) 6) Pretty Peggy-O (arr by Dylan) 7) Highway 51 Blues (C.

Advantages: A great artist, 30 tracks for a fiver!
Disadvantages: None.

...A lot of the songs from Bashy's mixtape has recieved a lot of critism from Sky (channel U) for there being racist remarks within the songs. To be well and truly honest, i still think this is one of the best produced and quality of mixtape around. The songs that are on the mixtape are all new since his last album "Ur Mum Vol. 1" unlike some artists who carry songs over. The Album is set out in different parts and has smaller parts to it such as the "relationships", there are parts 1,2,3 and 4. The best songs on the album in my opinion are: Black Boys, How to pick a wifey!, Ooh Baby and 4 O'Clock. -Black Boys- This song is about the black people who have made something of themselves whether it be in the music business or somewhere else, but the song praises their efforts towards making the world equal. -How to pick a wifey...
