Goodbye Yellow Brick Road

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

Release Date February 20, 1996
I remember this album, and the times. Not only does this music show his versatility, around this time, he also did the movie "Tommy" with Tina Turner, Ann Margret and Roger Daltrey, and showed his comedic ability on "Cher" a cbs/tv special(that got a 28.9 rating according to Nielsen Media Research)

By the way, I wonder how much help Elton John's benefit 'Hillary Clinton for President' concert was to her, after all, she won more votes than any other Presidential primary candidate in history.

Born in the U.S.A.

CD-Charts > Music > Singer-Songwriters
by: Bruce Springsteen

Release Date October 25, 1990
The "Born" CDs were what made the Boss' legend. Those were the ones you'd hear on the radio no end back in the day. I admit, I prefer "Born to Run" over "Born in the USA".

This is a great early day Bruce CD and I think still a must for any Boss fan. My favorites:

Born in the USA
Dancing in the Dark
Glory Days

Billy Joel Greatest Hits: Vol. 1-2 (2CD)

CD-Charts > Music > Singer-Songwriters
by: Billy Joel

Release Date October 20, 1998
The most helpful review on Amazon right now praises that this "remastered" edition of Billy Joel's Greatest Hits sounds better than the original. I have no idea what that person was listening to, but it sure wasn't the same set of CDs that I got.

I compared this new release to the original CD release, and the original blew it completely away. Not only is the audio quality muddier in general, but there's an obnoxious emphasis on the bass line and bass drum. I don't remember where, but in one review I saw researching this edition, it said something along the lines of "Now the bass SOUNDS like it should." No, it doesn't. It's just louder. This CD, like most "remasters" I've bought, is also dynamically compressed. So it's REALLY annoying when the ... Read More:

Hello...x

CD-Charts > Music > Singer-Songwriters
by: Tristan Prettyman

Release Date April 15, 2008
My girlfriend heard Tristan on the radio as asked me to pick up the album. After listening through the album a couple of times it reminded me a lot of Sarah McLachlan, Surfacing.

She has an angelic voice with light, poppy beats. Good to listen to when your studying or want some soft background music.

Live: 1975-85 (3CD)

CD-Charts > Music > Singer-Songwriters
by: Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band

Release Date October 14, 1997
Live albums. Some artists shine. The live recordings show why they are so popular when they hit the road. Others should run screaming when their record label or their manager suggests a live project! Springsteen is one of the former. He and his band have always had a reputation as a killer live act. Live 1975-1985 shows that their reputation is well deserved.

By the time these cds were released just before Xmas, 1986, Springsteen had made seven records, including one double. This is sixteen sides of music. Each was a classic. There are about forty songs on this live collection. If you subtract five non-Springsteen songs we are left with thirty-five live songs. That would be about two songs for each LP side! Thus, these three discs should contain la crème de la crème. Discs one and ... Read More:

Grace

CD-Charts > Music > Singer-Songwriters
by: Jeff Buckley

Release Date August 23, 1994
If you've got a thing for music then you should enjoy this. You can feel Buckley's emotion and soul come through in the recording. You can hear the imperfections and feel how real it is. Beautiful lyrics along with his voice take you away. If you listen to music and truly enjoy doing so, then you will not be disappointed.

Most people will probably buy this album for Jeff Buckley's cover of Hallelujah. That's a perfectly legitimate reason as he definitely recorded the definitive version. However once you start listening to the other tracks, you realize you just hit the jackpot. "Lilac Wine," "Lover, You Should've Come Over," and "So Real" are great ones to start off with. His death was tragic, but his legend will live on with his music.
