Jukebox - Deluxe Edition

CD-Charts > Music > Folk
by: Cat Power

Release Date January 22, 2008
A mixed bag of reminiscent vocals of the early 70's brings you back to folk music, back rooms and college pubs at a time of social unrest. I really enjoyed the beats and music.

Salt

CD-Charts > Music > Folk
by: Lizz Wright

Release Date May 13, 2003
Liz Wright's voice is one to die for! When I first heard the Blue Rose on the radio I almost had to pull over! (I was driving) Her lusty tones and the rhythm and melody of the song is the perfect intro for a night of shared intimacy with a loved one. Her voice is like plopping onto your favorite bed, with a big fluffy pillow on it. She makes me think of comfort, of home. Wow! I was glad that I finally found this disk. If the rest of the disk was horrible (which it is not, I like it too!)I would still rank it five stars just for the Blue Rose song.

Some Mad Hope

CD-Charts > Music > Folk
by: Matt Nathanson

Release Date August 14, 2007
Matt Nathanson is not an artist that we get to hear in New Zealand. So I'm glad I stumbled across his music on the net. A really inspiring CD (as is 'Beneath these Fireworks - which I ordered at the same time) that I haven't stopped listening to since it arrived on my doorstep. Totally recommended!

O.C.M.S.

CD-Charts > Music > Folk
by: Old Crow Medicine Show

Release Date February 10, 2004
Old Crow Medicine Show has taken bluegrass, rock and country music and, IMO, fused it into some real good-time music. While the Album is strong throughout, "Wagon Wheel" is what I would call their signature song. It's catchy and will appeal to anybody who loves lively music and who does not have a built in bias against vocals with a twang. I've seen them live and they were great. While their second CD does not have a song as catchy as "Wagon Wheel", I think OCMS's second album is more consistent throughout than this CD.

The Awakening

CD-Charts > Music > Folk
by: Melissa Etheridge

Release Date September 25, 2007
I bought this without ever listening to any songs and I'm glad I did. Miss Etheridge has never let me down. I love this one as much as any others. You can feel the happiness (I believe these songs were inspired by her new wife Tammy) and the uplifting outlook she came upon. She wears her heart on her sleeve, stages of her life are reflected in her music, and that is the major part of her appeal to me.

The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan

CD-Charts > Music > Folk
by: Bob Dylan

Release Date June 01, 2004
Released the year I was born, 1963, "The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan" became the album which best represents a turbulent time in America. Put this cd on, for those of us who spent at least a part of our lives in those stormy years, the album evokes a lot of memories, and a lot of feelings, particularly about the America we could've become before Kennedy fell, before Viet Nam, before King fell, before we lost our innocense.

The first track "Blowin' in the Wind" became the anthem of the day, redone and popularized by Peter, Paul, and Mary. Yet the original carries such weight that did not carry over. "Girl from the North Country" is a peaceful sort of ballad, whose lyrics will remind you just briefly of "Scarborough Fair". Here we have Dylan in his acoustical ... Read More:
