Somewhere

CD-Charts > Music > Folk
by: Eva Cassidy

Release Date August 26, 2008
I love the bluegrass type songs on here, especially Early One Morning. Love A Bold Young Farmer. Somewhere gives me shivers. Every time a new CD comes out, I think, well they just can't find any more recordings. Luckily, I'm wrong. A must for any Eva fan.

Raising Sand

CD-Charts > Music > Folk
from: Rounder

Release Date October 23, 2007
As a fan of both Robert Plant and Alison Krauss, I initially thought this was a strange pairing, but found it to be an amazing collaboration. The music at once is old-school and contemporary at the same time. It reminds me of a new singer-songwriter I recently came across-Arrica Rose...her new album La La Lost melodic 70's folk with a touch of country...old-fashioned and modern.

This Is The Life

CD-Charts > Music > Folk
by: Amy Macdonald

Release Date August 19, 2008
I listened to the sample tracks here on Amazon and was intrigued by Amy Macdonald's sound. I am so glad I decided to take a chance on this CD. It has become one of my new favorites. There really aren't any tracks I don't like, which is unusual. Great rhythm, thoughtful lyrics, and her voice is just mesmerizing. Take a chance on this CD, I don't think you'll regret it!

Comme Si de Rien N'Etait

CD-Charts > Music > Folk
by: Carla Bruni

Release Date August 05, 2008
I love French music and I love this CD, because it is sung in French, but more than that, I truly enjoy Carla Bruni's voice. As I listen, I just smile. Truly what I was hoping for and got.

Coco

CD-Charts > Music > Folk
by: Colbie Caillat

Release Date July 17, 2007
I love the song "Realize" and throughly enjoy "Bubbly." Everything else on this album sounds like everything else I've ever heard, not to mention each other, so save yourself some money and download these two if you like them and ignore the rest. It's really not worth the money.

Keep It Simple

CD-Charts > Music > Folk
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 intro of "How Can A Poor Boy" ... Read More:

Nine Lives

CD-Charts > Music > Folk
by: Steve Winwood

Release Date April 29, 2008
Steve still has it! Not a whole lot of broken ground here, but solid music with great percussion, and classic organ. His voice is still as good as when he was with Spencer Davis doing "Gimme some lovin". Nice surprise.
