Spacemen, The - Clark Terry

Advantages: Good strong voice, writes songs and plays instruments
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. Terri Clark has been bypassed by the CMA as far as awards go because I don't think she is commercial enough in terms of record sales for them, but the lady can sing and thats all that matters to a fan.

Advantages: Classic, hypnotic, timeless
Disadvantages: Difficult to navigate with only 4 tracks, but that's the idea...

...This is the debut album from Jason Pierce’s Spiritualized, formed from the ashes of narco-rock pioneers Spacemen 3. It comprises 12 songs, arranged into 4 ‘movements.’ Therefore, the CD version appears to have 4 extra-long tracks, and in a sense this is how it was envisaged. Jason is, truly, a perfectionist, and it certainly comes across as such on this album. Each song is polished to within an inch of its life, without feeling somehow ‘manufactured.’ It is a great album, in my opinion the standout track is ‘Sway,’ and I think Jason had a point when he said this was as good as ‘Ladies & Gentlemen…’...

...Terri Clark will be an unknown entity for most of you but do not let this put you off trying her brand of contemporary country music. The best things often happen by chance and that`s exactly how I discovered Terri Clark one day whilst flicking through albums in the country section of the record shop. My attention was immediately captured by the cover of what turned out for me to be her 4th C.D. Before me was a strikingly attractive, good looking woman in a very confident pose. The cowboy hat she wore couldn`t fail but cause my gaze to be drawn into her eyes! Somehow I just KNEW that this album had to be good and so after a little research on the net I rushed back and bought the c.d. the very next day. I`ve now been playing it every day for weeks !!! Oh why had I been so late in coming to her music when she`s had three other... Read review
