In Between Dreams

CD-Charts > Music > Singer-Songwriters
by: Jack Johnson

Release Date March 01, 2005
It's unusual to find an album with every song a hit. I like Jack Johnson's soft voice and his words tell a story that strikes a chord. Of all his albums this one is the one I play over and over. It is on its way to becoming a real Classic.

Been a Jack Johnson fan for a few years now, his stuff is great. Makes you want to kick back on the beach with a chair, an umbrella, and possibly an adult beverage and let the worries of the world slip away!

Who doesn't like Jack Johnson!?! I listen to this one every morning, because of the relaxed (yet upbeat) music. Good buy!

Pieces of You

CD-Charts > Music > Singer-Songwriters
by: Jewel

Release Date February 28, 1995
First of all, I'm a really big fan of Jewel, I think she's one of the best singer/songwriters of all time.

On "Pieces Of You" I think the title track, "Near You Always," "Adrian," "I'm Sensitive," "You Were Meant For Me" and "Emily" are all great songs, both vocally and lyrically. I find that with the rest of the songs, the songwriting is still great but the vocals are what really lets the songs down. Jewel has always managed to write good lyrics that are interesting, she's written great stories like "Adrian," "Fat Boy," "Till We Run Out Of Road," "Stand," "Goodbye Alice in Wonderland," "Good Day," "Stephenville, TX" or "Rosey And Mick" - the love songs she writes are never cheesey, she just always keeps the writing really good.

Tidal

CD-Charts > Music > Singer-Songwriters
by: Fiona Apple

Release Date July 23, 1996
With her rich alto voice, talents on the piano, and poetic lyrics, Apple's 1996 debut album, Tidal, remains her best album yet, in my opinion. Rich in hit singles ("Shadowboxer," "Slow Like Honey," "Sleep to Dream," "The First Taste," "Criminal," and "Never Is a Promise"), the album also resulted in a Tidal-wave of controversary following Apple's fiery comments at the 1997 MTV Video Music Awards and 1998 Grammy Awards ceremonies. "Gotta love that Sullen Girl," I thought to myself at the time, and my opinion hasn't changed. There's not a bad Apple in the bunch of album tracks on Tidal:

1. Sleep To Dream
2. Sullen Girl
3. Shadowboxer
4. Criminal
5. Slow Like Honey
6. The First Taste
7. ... Read More:

Chan Marshalls raspy, mysterious voice has brought us to a new level of her music in a modern sense. With Songs like "Lived in Bars" and "the Greatest" Marshall gives us a modern day song with her personal touch that no other can seem to reach. This CD is a must own if you are a Cat Power fan.

The Covers Record

CD-Charts > Music > Singer-Songwriters
by: Cat Power

Release Date March 21, 2000
This is my first purchase of a Catpower CD. I choose this one given its good reviews. In general, I like the CD. It is extremely mellow and, overall, the songs sound nothing like the origials. I recommend listening to the song samples if you are unsure about purchasing the CD.

Spirit

CD-Charts > Music > Singer-Songwriters
by: Jewel

Release Date November 17, 1998
This is a collection of spiritual soft pop music. Jewel did it again with "Hands" and "Down So Long." Jewel can sing in s little girls voice and in a baritone/tenor voice as well which helps make her so talented. If you like pop music and religious references, then this album is for you.

XO

CD-Charts > Music > Singer-Songwriters
by: Elliott Smith

Release Date August 25, 1998
Emerging from the shadow of Kurt Cobain in the late 90's, Elliott Smith was perhaps the greatest singer songwriter of his generation. Smith's genius was his unabashedly honest, naked, poetic lyricism that was so beautifully complemented by his unpretentiousness acoustic guitar. Like none that came before him, Smith delivers note after note of haunted, sparkling melancholy. Far from gloomy, his songs radiate with incredible emotional intensity. Combining an unbridled punk rage within the guise of an acoustic folk song, his songs speak for themselves. Reflective and introspective, each song unfolds like a delicately wrapped package, revealing itself slowly. Smith's songs present themselves like late night thoughts that just won't go away. Concerning themselves ... Read More:
