All I Intended to Be

CD-Charts > Music > 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:

Carnival Ride

CD-Charts > Music > General
by: Carrie Underwood

Release Date October 23, 2007
This cd is unbelievable and deserves all the kudos and awards it has received. Carrie Underwood's first cd was a powerhouse seller and also garnered her critical acclaim and tons of awards. But as with any artist it is the second release that showcases their creativity and true talent.

This cd far surpasses the first, which I loved, in song selection, vocal performance and interpretation and Carrie proves herself a true unique talent with her own special gifts.

I can put this cd in my player and let it run over and over for there is no filler here for me. But there are certainly some highlights. ALL AMERICAN GIRL allows Carrie to hit some notes never heard before. Her interpretation of I TOLD YOU SO is heartfelt and very much her own. ... Read More:

American Man: Greatest Hits Vol. II

CD-Charts > Music > 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!

Meet Glen Campbell

CD-Charts > Music > General
by: Glen Campbell

Release Date August 19, 2008
I'm a long time XPN listener. And thanks to listener supported stations like this I was lucky enough to hear 2 cuts a week off of Glen's new CD each week leading up to the release. I'm glad I did. I couldn't wait to get this CD and all the previous reviews do a much better job of going into the nitty gritty of the record. You would never know the guy is 72. I think it's great how older artists can just record what they want at this point in their careers and not be tied into worrying about sales. This album also makes you want to go out and research the artists that originally did the songs. I'm looking forward to it and many spins of this great set. Thanks GC!

Just A Little Lovin'

CD-Charts > Music > General
by: Shelby Lynne

Release Date January 29, 2008
I find it curious that the most of these songs that we are all so familiar with seem to have only the vaguest familiarity to Shelby Lynne. Her "interpretations" I think would only appeal to those who have a fondness for those who sing disjointedly to themselves along about the time the tavern is closing. As far as being a tribute to Dusty Springfield, it certainly isn't in my opinion.
