Solo Acoustic, Vol. 1

CD-Charts > Music > Singer-Songwriters
by: Jackson Browne

Release Date October 11, 2005
Jackson's first album Jackson Browne (1972), sometimes referred to as Saturate Before Using, is - in my opinion - one of the most superior debut albums of all time, so mature, so eloquent, so emotionally charged, the words and the music just breaks my heart, but, you know, it's that hurts-so-good feeling. What's equally impressive is the fact that Jackson managed to maintain the high quality on For Everyman (1973), Late For The Sky (1974) and The Pretender (1975).

Solo Acoustic, Volume 1 was recorded live - with excellent sound - and primarily covers these years. It's a very strong introduction to some of Jackson's best work, so much so that I would recommend you buy this instead of one of his "best of"-albums.

Highway 61 Revisited

CD-Charts > Music > Singer-Songwriters
by: Bob Dylan

Release Date June 01, 2004
Well here we are. One of the most renowned and praised pieces of popular music in history. Last time we saw Bob Dylan he was proving that he was more than a simple folk singer. This time around, he's proving that he should be held in the same regard as Michaelangelo and Socrates.

The most famous drum crash and organ blast ever. "Like A Rolling Stone" is the song that needs no introduction. It's the song that is continually voted as the greatest and most important song of all time, even almost 45 years later. It changed what pop music could be, it changed what could be considered a "hit" song, and as everyone from the Beatles to Springsteen to Wilco will attest to- it proved that shooting for the moon could pay off. It's the ... Read More:

Yael Naim

by: Yael Naïm, David Donatien

Release Date March 18, 2008
The novelty factor in this album (she sings in several different languages) wears off quick. If you want world music I'd recommend the Putumayo CDs. This album here is dull and repetitious (though exciting at first because you have no idea what she's on about).

Graceland

CD-Charts > Music > Singer-Songwriters
by: Paul Simon

Release Date July 27, 2004
I know I'll catch heat for this opinion but here goes. I always thought this album was very good, not great, but original in concept and execution. In my mind a great album is one of those can't live without, desert island albums. Albums that I play often over a period of many years and must have in my collection. I bought this album on vinyl when it came out and played it often for about six months maybe a year. I just bought a used copy of it recently and played it for the first time in many years. While I like the sound quailty and the unique arrangements, these songs just don't stand the test of time for me. I would give it four stars for originality, musicianship and technical sound quality but take away one star because half of the songs are just ok filler. ... Read More:

The Essential Bob Dylan (Rm) (2CD)

CD-Charts > Music > Singer-Songwriters
by: Bob Dylan

Release Date October 31, 2000
this is a great album for what it is and it is a career spanning compilation and as such is meant to include the finest tracks and is meant to give a sampler of an artist work which it does exceptionally well. no it doesn't have all his best tracks and yes everybody has their little probelems,but for those uniniated or just starting out with a minimal dylan collection its a great starter i guarantee you'll come back too time and again.

Blonde on Blonde

CD-Charts > Music > Singer-Songwriters
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.

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 from start to finish. Met every expectation ... Read More:
