40 Days

CD-Charts > Music > Singer-Songwriters
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.

Of all Lyle's great cd's, so far this is my favorite. Whenever I've been to a funeral, I always feel like listening to it. Highly highly recommended.

The Essential Kris Kristofferson

CD-Charts > Music > Singer-Songwriters
by: Kris Kristofferson

Release Date March 02, 2004
This is a great CD set showcasing the best of Kris Krristofferson. It is a great item for beginners to start a Kris Collection. Hard Core Classic country fans and Kris fans would probably have most if not all these songs already in a collection. I did. But I got this set because they're all here together.
I highly recommend this product.

The Road to Ensenada

CD-Charts > Music > Singer-Songwriters
by: Lyle Lovett

Release Date June 18, 1996
When I lived in Couer d'Alene, my uncle and I would play this album all the time. In fact he had almost all of Lyle's music and I instantly became a fan and once again Amazon came through as I bought two of his CDs for a total of $10 but it's this album with its cool sarcastic wit and little guitar twang that gets me.

I put it on for a pal of mine and she thought I had lost my mind but by the end she was loving it - a duet with Randy Newman on "Long Tall Texan" ("ooh lordy is you the law?") and the hilarious yet serious "Don't Touch My Hat" ("you can have my girl but don't touch my hat); this album proves why he has had a revered career beyond just the average country performer. Plus I just read that Liz Phair includes this as one of her ... Read More:

Release Date April 12, 1994
i came across the song (let the mystery be )last week and fell in love with this artists work i was was so impressed with the lyrics i started researching the composer witch led me to miss DeMent.not only does she write the stuff but sings it as well and it's real homespun folk music and as good as hank william,tammy wynette ,etc . i found the album infamous angel and it's hard to believe it was released 15 years ago but i guess you don't get much play on the radio for folk music even if its as high a caliber as this ,in fact the only place you get to hear folk music is on PBS. mostly the great old timers but i don't know how they could have missed this lady some of her stuff is so pleasing to listen to (sweet is the melody and childhood memories are exquisite ...

Lyle Lovett and His Large Band

CD-Charts > Music > Singer-Songwriters
by: Lyle Lovett

Release Date October 25, 1990
As a singer-songwriter, Lyle Lovett is known for his "class, charisma and consistency." He has mastered the art of blending folk, big-band swing, blues, jazz, country, and gospel in his music, while riding dirt bikes and tangling with bulls in Texas in his spare time. His 1989 release, Lyle Lovett and His Large Band, hooked me with its bluesy opening track, The Blues Walk, and then sealed the deal with Lovett's cover of Tammy Wynette's "Stand By Your Man" (included in the soundtrack of the movie The Crying Game) and the cynicism of "I Married Her Just Because She Looks Like You." Not only is Lyle Lovett and His Large Band a Grammy-worthy album, it is my personal favorite Lovett album. Complete tracks include:

1. The Blues Walk 2:25
2. Here I Am ... Read More:

This is a pretty good album. The Lemmonheads cover "Luka" on their album "Lick." Vega's original is pretty good, too.

The Best of John Hiatt

CD-Charts > Music > Singer-Songwriters
by: John Hiatt

Release Date August 25, 1998
Coming from Scotland , I'd never heard of John Hiatt before and discovered him by accident . I heard "Have a Little Faith in me" and was stunned and ordered his "Best of" and it's fantastic ! Now I had to find out that he wrote "Thing Called Love" and "Angel Eyes" and he sings them better than the well-known versions and his music is just great.
This guy rocks !
