All I Intended to Be

CD-Charts > Music > General
by: Emmylou Harris

Release Date June 10, 2008
Once again I feel compelled to comment on Emmylou's music. When I first saw this disk I read various reviews here whining that this album is a "downer" and the like. I smiled to myself and bought it without a second thought. I would have bought it no matter what the reviews said. Yes, Emmylou sings about pain, but she also sings about redemption and perseverance, the dawn that follows the darkness. Anyway, what price do you put on music that brings tears to your eyes?

But I am writing just to comment on one track from this disk. "All That You Have Is Your Soul", a song that did not grab me when I heard the author's version two decades ago, is rescued here and made Emmylou's own. The song includes the lines: "hunger only for a taste of justice, ... Read More:

Release Date May 13, 2008
I just couldn't relate to this material. There is nothing wrong with the artist or her talent, I am just too old to understand it. Young folks will enjoy her singing and probably get the message. I didn't.

That Lucky Old Sun

CD-Charts > Music > General
by: Brian Wilson

Release Date September 02, 2008
Honestly, I think this is the best Brian Wilson solo CD. Although I loved his CD w/ 'Love & Mercy' and Smile, I think this one track by track is stronger. He is truly inspiring w/ everything he's dealt w/ in his life and this CD is a look back to his life and a tribute to his home. My favorite is 'Oxygen to the Brain.' I think he may be doing his finest work right now and God Bless him for being a survivor.

Modern Guilt

CD-Charts > Music > General
by: Beck

Release Date July 08, 2008
On his latest album, Modern Guilt, Beck returns to a more up-tempo affair. Well, an exception to the rule is the last track, "Volcano." Anyway, this is the most enjoyable Beck cd since Sea Changes, musically speaking. In some ways, it's even better, because it rocks. Sometimes it even sounds like someone is actually playing a drum kit rather than recording with electronic drums, which is something I always prefer hearing. "Volcano" sounds more like an outtake from Sea Changes minus a strumming acoustic guitar perhaps. It is the only track on Modern Guilt that doesn't seem like it belongs. However, every album needs to have at least one ballad, so to speak, on it. To be fair, Modern Guilt could have had one or two more slow numbers on it for balance, but the cd rocked ... Read More:
