Awesome!!
This is the greatest cd I ever got. It truly brings back the memories and you end up singing the songs even after the cd has stopped. It was truly worth getting!!!

Rock n Roll Jesus
Kid Rock
Atlantic, 2007
a great CD for anyone's collection
This is a great CD. I bought it only for the song "all summer long", but it is such a great CD I am going to see Kid Rock in concert. Just be careful it is not for children.

Life Death Love and Freedom
John Mellencamp
Hear Music, 2008
The continuity of hope through the modern ideals of freedom
I am not a biased John Mellencamp fan. I indeed have been listening since "American Fool". But where there is a uniqueness to my appreciation is that I never buy one of his records right out of the gate. I let the public get a hold of it. The press throw a few reviews ...

Med Sud I Eyrum Vid Spilum Endalaust
Sigur Ros
Beggars Xl Recording, 2008
great new album
a definite change in direction for the band from iceland. Completely getting rid of the signature bowed guitar, this album is more of an acoustic and scandinavian folk music sound. Maybe not for a casual listener as it is different than their previous LP's but for the ...

Viva La Vida
Coldplay
Capitol, 2008
Breathtaking!
I've been a Coldplay fan since the beginning--when "Yellow" broke in the US and "Parachutes" was released in 2000. While I fell in love with the music, I never liked the production on "Parachutes" and "A Rush of Blood to the Head". It wasn't until the live album in ...

Where The Light Is:John Mayer Live In Los Angeles
John Mayer
Sony, 2008
An emotional experience
The opportunity to see this concert film on the big screen was amazing. The energy that JM and JM3 exuded seemed to envelop the entire theater. You could sense the trance-like state the artists were in while the music poured from within. JM has definately refined ...

All I Intended to Be
Emmylou Harris
Nonesuch, 2008
She's come full circle
Emmylou Harris's album, All I Intended to Be is finally one where she is putting her own words to song. You can tell her feelings that were involved just by listening to the tracks. A good buy for any Emmylou fan.

Modern Guilt
Beck
Interscope Records, 2008
This Disc will be a Classic!
There is no doubt in my mind that this will be a classic!
I honestly cannot think of the last Album I said that about? I bought this expecting a fun song here or there, but the entire Album is Great! Years ago when I was in the Music Business a friend of mine said ...

We Sing, We Dance, We Steal Things
Jason Mraz
Atlantic, 2008
Lovin' Mraz!
I had no idea who this singer/artist was. I saw his album cover in Starbucks (and it's sorta eyecatching with the drawing and the title) and said, "Hm. Interesting." Promptly forgot about it. Then heard "I'm Yours" on the radio and said, "Hey, this is great! What a ...

Stay Positive
The Hold Steady
Vagrant Records, 2008
Great Album - Horribly over compressed
This excellent record deserves to be played loud. Unfortunately, it's been so aggressively mastered, that I haven't been able to turn it up without distorting.
I'll gladly pay twice if somebody can tell me that the vinyl was treated differently.
Musically, this is ...

Raising Sand
Robert Plant, Alison Krauss
Rounder, 2007
Something different and refreshing
Well of course both of these artist alone are musical genius. You certainly can't go wrong putting two geniuses together. I love Led Zep. and although I've never been a "fan" of Blue Grass, I have been an Alison Krauss fan. Of course this CD is closer to Blue Grass ...

Fleet Foxes
Sub Pop, 2008
Fleet Foxes
Fleet Foxes' debut self-titled LP is a beautiful, haunting affair of sweeping folk arrangements infused with a gruff, powerful Southern rock presence. The sound of the record is a stunning synthesis of the rock and roll of Band of Horses paired with the spacious ...
