Super Hits of the '70s: Have a Nice Day, Vol. 8

CD-Charts > Music > By Decade
by: Various Artists

Release Date April 04, 1990
Super Hits of the '70s: Have a Nice Day, Vol. 8 has twelve tracks to help bring back the good memories of those years gone by. The quality of the sound is excellent.

Jo Jo Gunne's "Run Run Run" has a funky rock flavor to it with some incredible guitar playing--love it! The Addrisi Brothers' "We've Got To Get It On Again" is a tune that doesn't ring a bell with me although it's a rather good song. The musical arrangement is very good.

Dr. Hook & The Medicine Show perform an anemic "Sylvia's Mother;" although they harmonize well and the musical arrangement is solid I just don't quite care for the song anyway. It's tough to put it into words; but "Sylvia's Mother" is just one of those middling songs that never quite ... Read More:

Red Hot + Rio: Pure Listening Pleasure

CD-Charts > Music > By Decade
by: PM Dawn with Flora Purim & Airto, Crystal Waters

Release Date October 15, 1996
..except for a small number weak tunes and the odd 'short blips' between full songs, this is a wonderful CD. Favorite tracks include a very hip 'Corcodova' by Everything but the Girl and a wonderful duet by George Michael and legendary girl-from-Ipanema, Astrud Gilberto. Maxwell, the David Byrne/Marisa Monte duet, Cesaria Evoria and Caetano Veloso are also outstanding. I taped the video of this album when it first came available in various PBS channels on VHS. Unfortunately the quality is poor especially on HDTVs so I wish MTV through it's original producer, subsidiary MTV Brasil would someday make a DVD available.

Celtic Christmas: A Windham Hill Sampler

Release Date September 12, 1995
The good thing about any of the Celtic Christmas CDs is that they don't feature any traditional, commercialized Christmas Carols. Therefore, you can play them as soon as Fall comes around and continue until the last snow melts.

Tower of Song: The Songs of Leonard Cohen

Release Date September 26, 1995
ok, some love this and other hate it. fair enough. i personally quite liked the don henley version of 'everybody knows'. bono on 'halelujah' sounded as if his trousers were hitched up too high and too tight. and willie nelson's 'bird on a wire' could have been a nashille chestnut like 'she'll have to go'.
cohen can write. at least there doesnt seem to be any doubt about that. and perhaps he does have an honest voice. maybe robert frost had an honest voice too. never heard him sing.

Jock Rock, Vol. 2

CD-Charts > Music > By Decade
by: Various Artists

Release Date October 10, 1995
The songs on this disc are often heard at sporting venues. The one thing that has bothered me about this series are the cheesy transitions from one song to the next. Crowds cheering, etc. does nothing to enhance my listening enjoyment. In fact, it detracts from it some because I want to her clean intros to the songs. Other than that, this disc is great! The songs cover a wide range of eras and relate well to a variety of sports.

The Songs of West Side Story

CD-Charts > Music > By Decade
by: Various Artists

Release Date January 30, 1996
"West Side Story" is a classic musical, and what can people do to the music and still show the songs the way they were? With this CD.

The album opens up with a nice version of "Something's Coming" by All 4 One. They were one of the groups that the more recent *NSYNC and Backstreet Boys had taken influence from. Selena's version of "A Boy Like That" is a great track. She is known for singing from the heart. Michael McDonald, James Ingram, and David Pack sing "Maria," one of the most beautiful songs ever. After that is Brian Setzer doing the prologue music and the famous "Jet Song" keeping it almost exactly to the original, but with guitar playing. Kenny Loggins and Wynona, afterwards, do a good rendition of "Tonight," which is followed by "Cool" performed ... Read More:

Nova Bossa: Red Hot on Verve

Release Date October 22, 1996
I really love this CD I needed to hear the 60s bossa nova music for my ballroom dance routine. It has the classic girl from ipanema as well as a really cool 60s version of Mas Que Nada. It has some really cute intermission segments in between tracks too. Very nice music for dinner party or if you need the original Bossa Nova.
