Viva La Vida
Coldplay
Capitol, 2008
Viva La Vida song of the decade!
This is a great CD by a rockin' band. Viva La Vida is the song of the decade. You can't go wrong buying this CD. And not just for the youth: I'm just past 50 years young and play this all the time. Great addition to any collection.

Tell Tale Signs: the Bootleg Series Vol. 8
Bob Dylan
Sony BMG, 2008
Excellent later Dylan round-up
Thank goodness for the Bootleg Series; not only does it constantly present us with new ways of approaching our favorite Dylan songs and reveal his often fascinating creative process, it's also provided me with some of my very favorite Bob Dylan albums, which I return ...

Paper Trail
T.I.
Grand Hustle/Atlantic, 2008
Real Talk...Loved the Transformation
I've had some up and down moments with T.I. I can't stand the b-word tracks or the ones about killing this person or that person, so his last album didn't resonate with me well. However, I truly enjoyed "Trap Muzik," "Urban Legend" and "I'm Serious" because he kept ...

Worth the money!
I must say that I was a lil dissappointed with this album. I believe here producers was trying to hard and missed the mark. 2 of the songs that I heard like "STAND UP & LOVE ME OR LET ME LEAVE" didn't make the album. I have been a die hard fan since say one..but her ...

Only By The Night
Kings of Leon
Rca, 2008
It's Great Music
I'm a fan of KOL's early and later music. I love it all. I love the way they progress and throw something new at you with each album. I won't over-analyze anything about this album. It's great music, and I can't stop listening to it!

James Taylor
Hear Music, 2008
HE'S LOOKING MORE LIKE MY FATHER . . .
. . . especially in that suit he wore on Colbert Report. But his voice is cool as ever, scratchy in the best way, soulful, beautiful. The music pulls on you and you can't turn away. After listening to him for so many years I have a Pavlovian reaction: he sings, I ...

Time the Conqueror
Jackson Browne
Inside Recordings, 2008
Wake Up America!
I'm listening to Jackson Browne's new release as I write this. Perhaps most American's would like to turn their heads and pretend that the world is not spiraling out of control. As long as your 401K is safe and your music happy or nostalgic of another era long long ...

The Imus Ranch Record
Various Artists
New West Records, 2008
Excellent Collection!
The majority of reviewers find this collection outstanding. So far, only three reviewers don't like it. I would say to the person out there considering it to listen to the clips first. But I can almost guarantee that the average country music lover is going to want ...

19
Adele
Sony, 2008
Chasing pavement
A couple of months ago, a co-worker of mine lent me her copy of Adele's 19 since I am an admirer of both Duffy and Amy Winehouse. The comparison between Adele and the aforementioned artists is predictable. While there are subtle elements of Amy Winehouse in Adele's ...

Rockferry
Duffy
Mercury, 2008
Get off your duffy and buy this!!!
I am hypnotized by this Duffy. Not in a hypnotize by biggie kind of way, but in a 60's downtown gretna way. This CD is pure as snow before people drive on it and make it dirty or relieve themselves on it. I was introduced to Duffy, like most others, when I heard the ...

Under a Blood Red Sky - Deluxe Edition CD/DVD
U2
Island, 2008
This is THE Must-Have for Any U2 Fan. Essential.
We've waited years for it and here it is. Finally. I have every U2 concert DVD you can have (even the Super Bowl performance and SNL) yet this is the one DVD that was a no-brainer.
For those of you around back then, it's nostalgic. This concert is what turned me ...

Learn To Live
Darius Rucker
Capitol-Nashville, 2008
OMG...Darius ROCKS!!!!!!!
What can I say? It's all been said and then some. "Cracked Rearview" had some serious play time in my CD player, but this new album from Darius takes the cake. It's the kind of music that gives you chills EVERY time you hear it. Deep and soul-stirring, the music from ...
