Chameleon

...this has the feel of a half-baked demo. I won't be listening to it a second time.

Ghost of a Rose

by: Blackmore's Night

Release Date August 26, 2003
I continue to listen to this album often. Every song is good and has its own atmospheric presence. I often travel to the high sierra nevada's and this album doesnt leave my cd player. I highly recommend it. Composed beautifully and sound quality is great.

Ships in the Forest

CD-Charts > Music > Compilations
by: Karan Casey

Release Date April 08, 2008
I bought this CD after it was recommended to me by Amazon.com and I am quite pleased with it. I have listened to the entire album over a half dozen times and am still enjoying every song.

Karen has a pleasant singing voice and the accompiament and rythyms are entertaining as well. If you are a fan or Irish folk and contempary music I think you will enjoy this. Although that is just my opinion, your mileage may vary. :-)

Everybody Loves You

CD-Charts > Music > Compilations
by: Kaki King

Release Date April 22, 2003
I've posted comments elsewhere on this series of reviews. It seems the defenders of Ms. King's cd are a little defensive, as are the ones who didn't care for her music. I have to admit, I was excited by the idea that a new acoustic monster had put a cd out. I listened to the samples in the store, and was "wow'ed" by her varied and aggressive style of guitar playing. The employee had pointed her cd out to me, and he too, made reference to M. Hedges guitar style. Like a herd of lemmings, I walked out of the store with the cd in hand, looking forward to listening through it.

I got home and (I have to say) tried to listen straight through, but was put off by the lack of a feeling that K. King's music was thought through--even as I made ... Read More:

Harry Nilsson - Greatest Hits

CD-Charts > Music > Compilations
by: Harry Nilsson

Release Date March 19, 2002
I've always been a fan of Nilsson since I first heard "Everybody's Talking" back in '69 and then I read that The Beatles were his biggest fans. Nilsson was a singer's singer, he could sing so well and had a great voice range. He also had a quirky sense of humor. This CD captures all his finest works in one CD. There are a couple of songs from the Nillson Shmeilsson CD that aren't here that I also enjoyed, but these 20 songs are all great. Along with Eveybody's Talkin', these feature the best songs off all his albums, My favorites: Everybody's Talkin', Me and My Arrow, Coconut, The Moonbeam Song, My Old Desk, Cuddly Toy etc. Actually there isn't a bad cut on this CD. If you want the cream of Nilsson, this is the one to own. The sound is also superb.

The Best of Don McLean

CD-Charts > Music > Compilations
by: Don McLean

Release Date October 25, 1990
There are three tracks here that I think especially good. One is 'American Pie' another is the beautiful ballad 'And I love you so'. The third and my favorite McLean song is 'Vincent' in which he shows a special sympathy and understanding for 'Van Gogh'.
McLean is an especially fine and intelligent singer.

Oh Mercy

CD-Charts > Music > Compilations
by: Bob Dylan

Release Date June 01, 2004
My major problem with this album is that I didn't hear it earlier in my life. I'm always worried that Dylan will ramble on for too long and let his songs wallow in lyrical logic loops that start sounding like spoken word poetry over a predictable background of session musicians doing basically the best they can, but this album is terse, potent, just minimal enough. "Where Teardrops Fall" is just 2:32, the longest cuts about 5 minutes. These songs have varied tempos, an atmosphere, and soul.

Salt

CD-Charts > Music > Compilations
by: Lizz Wright

Release Date May 13, 2003
Great music. In fact, buy all three Lizz Wright cds (The Orchard, Dreaming Wide Awake, and Salt). You'll be glad you did. We listen to them often. Great jazz/soul music and a wonderful voice.
