All I Intended to Be

CD-Charts > Music > Country Rock
by: Emmylou Harris

Release Date June 10, 2008
Once again I feel compelled to comment on Emmylou's music. When I first saw this disk I read various reviews here whining that this album is a "downer" and the like. I smiled to myself and bought it without a second thought. I would have bought it no matter what the reviews said. Yes, Emmylou sings about pain, but she also sings about redemption and perseverance, the dawn that follows the darkness. Anyway, what price do you put on music that brings tears to your eyes?

But I am writing just to comment on one track from this disk. "All That You Have Is Your Soul", a song that did not grab me when I heard the author's version two decades ago, is rescued here and made Emmylou's own. The song includes the lines: "hunger only for ... Read More:

Release Date July 22, 2008
I'm not normally a country music fan, but I heard Sugarland on a TV show and decided to buy their newest album. I wasn't disappointed. It is a fun, upbeat, foot stomping CD. I highly recommend it.

Keep It Simple

CD-Charts > Music > Country Rock
by: Van Morrison

Release Date April 01, 2008
Van Morrison has certainly evolved musically in the 41 years since "Brown Eyed Girl" first hit the charts. The "Simple" premise of Morrison's latest offering is quite ironic. Van Morrison composed and sang all eleven tracks, as well as instrumentally performing the saxophone, harmonica and ukulele. His trademark horn section is noticeably missing from the album, but the extra space is filled with a strong set of backup singers.

As Van Morrison's first album in three years, Keep It Simple was a very pleasant surprise. Morrison has held strong to his authentic American Folk, Blues and Jazz influences even at this stage of his career. His vocal performance is still very strong, as are his lyrics and compositions.

When the bluesy ... Read More:

Love On The Inside

CD-Charts > Music > Country Rock
by: Sugarland

Release Date July 29, 2008
Good, but not nearly as good as their first (which I still think is their best) CD. And I don't think it matches up to their second CD either. And the "All I want to do" track is really, really annoying!

I listen to it at least once a day. 'One Day You Will' is one of the best inspirational songs I've heard in a long time.

Let It Go

CD-Charts > Music > Country Rock
by: Tim McGraw

Release Date March 27, 2007
"Let It Go," is not the best country CD you will hear. Nor is it the worst. What it just might be is the stepping stone to the next chapter in Tim McGraw's career - the chapter where he's taken seriously as an artist.

No more barbecue stains on his white t-shirt and that makes some of you sad, doesn't it? Well, I guess Tim could stay the same as he was twenty years ago and we could all go back to high school and the world could stop evolving. Tim's an artist and he's trying to become a better one. This record is a huge step in the right direction.

He shows on so many of the tracks that he can convey so many different emotions other than sappy love or high school reminiscing. It's the same metamorphosis that George Strait went through and moved ... Read More:

I love this cd. If you like 'Oh brother where art thou' you'll like this. Very entertaining lyrics and I like to listen to it when I am cooking in the kitchen.
