Till the Sun Turns Black

CD-Charts > Music > Folk
by: Ray LaMontagne

Release Date August 29, 2006
The hit on the cd is assume I was hoping for a little more rock. I have had it on with people over for dinner it is perfect for that. He reminds me of Ben Harper the same sort of somberness but not as much rock.

Bob Dylan's Greatest Hits

CD-Charts > Music > Folk
by: Bob Dylan

Release Date June 01, 1999
I'm going to take a different approach to reviewing albums on Amazon. Instead of going in depth on each album and describe each album in detail, i'm going to simply rate each album with how many stars I feel each album is worth based on the below criteria. I hope this helps you make a better decision on purchasing this album with a simple individual rating. If it doesn't help read another review.
5 stars- Classic, Album goes beyond description, Perfect in every way, Could remind you of a certain time or place, Lifetime replay value.
4.5 stars- Near Classic, Incredible album, Maybe only one song that is skippable or just overall doesn't quite deserve classic status. High replay value.
4.0 stars- Awesome album. Very solid album ... Read More:

Blonde on Blonde

CD-Charts > Music > Folk
by: Bob Dylan

Release Date June 01, 2004
I recently purchased this cd from amazon. The delivery was fast. I only wish I could say the same about Blonde on Blonde. What an overrated plodding piece of schlock this is. Most critics place this album in their top ten best. They say it's one of Dylan's best. I wouldn't place this in my top 30. If you want a Dylan starter kit here it is: Highway 61 Revisited, Blood On The Tracks, Bringing It All Back Home. Heck, Shot Of Love is better than Blonde on Blonde.

The High Kings

Release Date February 26, 2008
The High Kings are a fantastic group of singers that sing beautiful Irish ballads. They are Darren Holden, Martin Furey, Finbarr Clancy and Brian Dunphy. Furey, Clancy and Dunphy all hail from families who have been known for years for their great Irish singing. Holden received rave reviews for his performance on Broadway as Billy Joel's Pianoman! If you love traditional Irish music this dvd is for you. It's great!

Amos Lee

CD-Charts > Music > Folk
by: Amos Lee

Release Date March 01, 2005
I am not typically a person that enjoys jazz music or even close to it. I heard a 2 second clip of "Arms of a Woman" on a commercial for the album and I was intrigued enough to check it out. Well, I purchased the album and was blown away by the artist's vocals. I don't even know how to describe how much I like this album:) All music should be this good, and it is truly a shame that artists this good do not come around more often. Amos Lee has turned me into a true, lifelong fan. I am so glad that I discovered this artist and I am truly looking forward to more great stuff that he puts out.

Still Crooked

CD-Charts > Music > Folk
by: Crooked Still

Release Date June 24, 2008
OK, imagine, if you will, an old wooden railroad bridge across a deep chasm somewhere in the wilderness. Two trains approach from the opposite directions: one is carrying a brilliant string quartet of the finest young classical musicians from the most demanding music schools. The other train is bearing a fantastic bluegrass band with one of the greatest banjo players of the time.

They collide head-on.

And yet miraculously and mysteriously, out of the inferno strides five young survivors. Somehow spared by a higher power of both darkness and light to create a sound greater than the sum of the parts.

That's Crooked Still.

Think about this-- when The Boss was putting together his Seeger Sessions band, he called Greg ... Read More:

10 Days Out (Blues from the Backroads)/ (CD/DVD)

CD-Charts > Music > Folk
by: Kenny Wayne Shepherd

Release Date January 23, 2007
Hats off to KWS and all the people involved in making this tribute cd happen. I bought this with good, but not great expectations. Happy to say, I was blown away after 1 go-through.

Watched the DVD first, and as many other reviewers have said, it alone is EASILY worth the price of admission. It was a very professionally done performance documentary and one I'll certainly view again. Listening to the audio cd always makes me think of the performer segments from the documentary.

Again, I couldn't be happier with this set. KWS is to be commended for paying tribute to these older, and largely ignored musicians. They still have so much to offer, and their music blows away any of the garbage found on the radio.

Way to go Kenny! Any ... Read More:
