All I Intended to Be

CD-Charts > Music > Country - Contemporary Country - General
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:

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.

American Man: Greatest Hits Vol. II

CD-Charts > Music > Country - Contemporary Country - General
by: Trace Adkins

Release Date December 04, 2007
Trace Adkins won me over totally after seeing him in concert in March.He is a great entertainer and has a wonderful deep voice to listen to. I enjoy variety in my country music and this cd delivers that. He is able to sing the funny sarcastic songs as well as the heart felt ballads. You're Gonna Miss This never fails to bring a tear to my eye and not too many songs do that to me. When you can touch my heart with your music I am a fan for life. Wonderful CD!

Crazy Ex-Girlfriend

CD-Charts > Music > Country - Contemporary Country - General
by: Miranda Lambert

Release Date May 01, 2007
Let it be said that Miranda Lambert is the best artist to emerge from a 'reality show' on any station in any musical format. That this "Nashville Star" graduate had a great voice is a moot point, but few could have predicted that she would make a timeless, classic album such as "Crazy Ex-Girlfriend" so early in her career.

The album title is unfortunate (I would have preferred that she chose something more laidback or meaningful), but the album is most decidedly a grassroot country album that gives you true country in this era of pathetic pop-rock being passed off as country. One listen to this album and you will not be able to take Carrie Underwood or Taylor Swift seriously anymore. The 'country music' that they make is fake, at best, but granted ... Read More:

Perfectly Clear

CD-Charts > Music > Country - Contemporary Country - General
by: Jewel

Release Date June 03, 2008
I became a Jewel fan immediately upon hearing the Pieces of You cd. I have yet to hear a cd from Jewel that matches the beauty of that cd or the range of her voice. I haven't cared for the cds that she's released since then and keep hoping for one as good as Pieces of You. This cd is the closest one to her original style although she has alot of country nuances. Her voice is clear and nice to listen to, but the songs lack the deep emotions of the first cd. All of songs are love songs but lack true emotion in their presentation. All in all, it's a decent cd, good for listening to in the car when stuck in traffic. But I'm still waiting for a cd that is as good as Pieces of You (minus Adrian, which was unlistenable).
