Rum Sodomy & the Lash

CD-Charts > Music > Folk
by: The Pogues

Release Date September 19, 2006
What can be said about the Pogues? One of the greatest song writing bands in history. Shane is a genius and somewhat of a drinker I hear. I think I'll get a beer...

Beauty & Crime

CD-Charts > Music > Folk
by: Suzanne Vega

Release Date July 17, 2007
Modern day folk at its best...she creates stories with her poetry in a minimal amount of words. Another singer-songwriter that I put in this camp is Arrica Rose especially in her new release, La La Lost.

Gogol Bordello /Gypsy Punks Underdog World Strike

CD-Charts > Music > Folk
by: Gogol Bordello

Release Date August 09, 2005
They are Feisty, have a Zest for life and have blended different kinds of music into one big original sound. Their lyrics are not too shabby, not shabby at all. Have to say that I am very happy knowing this band and own two of their albums, this one and I forgot the name for the one they released after. Both very good purchases. They are original and that counts for a lot of my respect. When they get going is a brilliant display of talent. These guys are the real deal, worth every dollar. Highly entertaining and their message is one that screams: Enjoy Life, Enjoy Music and it will all work out for the better. 4 shinning stars for Gogol Bordello /Gypsy Punks Underdog World Strike! Hot Band!

40 Days

CD-Charts > Music > Folk
by: The Wailin' Jennys

Release Date August 10, 2004
If you've ever wondered what the angels sound like when they sing as a chorus (or as a trio, in this case), The Wailin' Jennys are for you. This gorgeous 2004 release features the blended voices of Cara Luft, Nicky Mehta and Ruth Moody. Their sound is at once ethereal and blissful. The album kicks off with "One Voice," a beautiful piece that showcases their three part harmony at its best. "Saucy Sailor" is part sea chanty and part folk melody. Their subject matter ranges from love to pondering the afterlife. This album veers so far from mainstream subjects and mundane melodies, so often heard on the radio. It is a breath of fresh air and we are so blessed to hear such beauty.

Tigerlily

Release Date June 20, 1995
This is my mellow and happy album. Perfect for sitting on the side of the beach in the Caribbean or just resting at home. The voice is sultry and relaxing and years later I still listen to the album regularly.

Pink Moon

CD-Charts > Music > Folk
by: Nick Drake

Release Date May 06, 2003
Nick Drake, sort of an English James Taylor who never got to get old or bald or sell out. "Pink Moon" is his last, just voice and guitar and gentle eccentricity, slightly haunted. No one else sounds or writes like him. Makes for good company on a rainy day or a windy night when you're alone. Put on a pot of tea. You might even listen to it twice in a row.

Heart Like a Wheel

CD-Charts > Music > Folk
by: Linda Ronstadt

Release Date October 25, 1990
This singer is almost unknown here in Europe and this time it's a real MISS-OUT on something great. The rave reviews do not lie. Linda Ronstadt is here singing beautiful tunes from great songwriters (Paul Anka, Phil Everly, Hank Williams and James Taylor, to name a few) and the country/pop tunes are immensely helped by wonderful arrangements. Just the guitar solo in the middle of "The Dark End Of The Street" is a reason enough to get this album. They say she has never surpassed "Heart Like a Wheel" with any other work. They're probably right. Maybe only Joni Mitchell with "Court and Spark" made something equally great in 1974.
