Enya
Reprise / Wea, 1997
Float on the music ... let it take you away
.
I have been without my music for four years, and I forgot just how lucious Enya is. This is soul soothing, Celtic music with the beauty of her perfect voice blending over the back-up band -- Gorgeous.
I have never heard a bad Enya recording -- so whatever you ...

Paul Weller
Yep Roc Records, 2008
Innovative blend of sounds.
The legendary rock star, Paul Weller makes his comeback!
If nothing else, you tend to associate Paul Weller with lean and muscular music - rock without any flab or fripperies.
So the big surprise about the epic "22 Dreams" is just how much latitude Weller gives ...

Thoroughly entertaining and inspiring!
What can I say? The musical talents of these five male vocalists, combined with the producers and orchestra are thoroughly inspiring. I was most impressed with young 14 yr old Damian McGinty. WHAT A VOICE! While driving in my car I often play this album at full ...

Abigail Washburn and the Sparrow Quartet
I heard this group for the first time at the Vancouver Island Musicfest and was blown away. I've been listening to this CD over and over again since. Imagine an otherworldly blend of bluegrass, Chinese traditional, and 20th-century classical symphonic and imagine it ...

Facing Future
Israel Kamakawiwo'ole
Mountain Apple Company, 1993
Russert memento
I purchased this CD because it contains the version of Over the Rainbow that was played at the end of Tim Russert's recent funeral service. Amazingly, an actual rainbow appeared over the Kennedy Center site of the service in DC at the same time.

Israel Kamakawiwo'ole
Mountain Apple Company, 2001
Alone in IZ World
If the music doesn't put love into your heart, then maybe this gentle giant can make you only wish like he did. This is by far, on of his best collections ever. I loved it and listen to each and every day. Sure am going to miss this man.

Jesse Cook
Koch Records, 2008
Best CD I've heard for a long time
I heard Cafe Mocha on the radio and wanted the CD. It was all I hoped for and more. I like every song. The mood is Spanish and romantic! It takes me away to another place, a very good place! Jesse Cook is an amazing musician and composer. Take a chance, you won't ...

What's the Rumpus?
Gaelic Storm
Mri Associated, 2008
Infectious
I picked up this band's debut album on a whim a few years ago, and I've since fallen completely in love with their upbeat, high-energy style. The songs are ridiculously fun to sing along to, and the purely instrumental tracks are equally wonderful. This is a ...
