Don Quixote

CD-Charts > Music > North America
by: Gordon Lightfoot

Release Date June 28, 1994
I appreciate Lightfoot's musical ramblings. I even saw him play a few tunes at the Ryman. But I wish I'd seen him when he was first touring with these songs, on this album; he truly was the Minstrel of the Dawn+

Sometimes

CD-Charts > Music > North America
by: City and Colour

Release Date November 14, 2005
Dalls come from Alexisonfire. I got this cd recently and just to keep it brief I really liked thius album a lot for some solo acustic stuff. His vocals just make you want to lay back and relax and soak up each and every song. Mellow, Hearfelt, and simply good album worth listening to at least, worth the money if you like the style.

Sundown

CD-Charts > Music > North America
by: Gordon Lightfoot

Release Date October 25, 1990
oh, and for "carefree highway," because those were the two hits.

and being experienced in these matters, i naturally expected the rest of the album to be filler--that's the way it always is, right?

well, not this time; i still remember ripping off the cellophane, the needle dropping and "somewhere usa" working its way into my soul for the first time. and it only got better with each song, to the point where the two songs i'd bought it for were probably my least-favorites of the whole album.

thirty-five years later, not much has changed--this was a five-star work of art then, and it still is now.


[and the fact that i expected the same magic from his follow-up, "cold on the shoulder," can be written ... Read More:

The Girl in the Other Room

CD-Charts > Music > North America
by: Diana Krall

Release Date April 27, 2004
"The Girl in the Other Room," (2004) by Canadian born jazz singer/pianist Diana Krall, represents a departure and new beginning for her: she leaves behind the Great American Songbook, to work with more modern, personal material, covering songs by Tom Waits, Mose Allison, and Joni Mitchell, in addition to writing several more with her husband, the outstanding British singer/musician Elvis Costello. Furthermore, this CD comes to us as an enhanced SACD: it'll give you wonderful sound if you've the equipment for it.

Krall, who was awarded a scholarship to Boston's prestigious Berklee College of Music, won the 2002 Best Jazz Vocalist Grammy for "Live in Paris." Overheard elevator conversations seem to indicate that that record's been most popular ... Read More:

Fortress

by: Protest the Hero

Release Date January 29, 2008
I do not write reviews on music because it is very subjective and very hard to describe. People try, but they are inevitably wrong. I write this one because the instrumental version of this CD is astonishing. If you can get it, please do so. The difference between the standard cd and the instrumental one is striking.

The Ghosts That Haunt Me

CD-Charts > Music > North America
by: Crash Test Dummies

Release Date April 09, 1991
It's hard to believe I've owned this CD for 17 years! It's one of those things that you put away for a while because you're either sick of it or it gets shuffled to the back of a pile and then you rediscover it and give it some more resurrected play time which it rightly deserves.

This is a unique band with an original sound. They blend strange harmonies to violin, mandolin, keyboard and electric guitar. Dan Roberts sings in a deep bass voice to songs written with witticism and charm. They fit no category except for their own; not country, blue grass, Irish, or R&B. So if you file it under "other," you will still find yourself pulling it out and playing it over the years. It's a great disc!
