All I Intended to Be(more) »rank: 22by: Emmylou Harris
Our review:Album Description:On her second Nonesuch disc, Emmylou Harris assembles an extraordinary cast of veteran musicians and fellow singers, all of them longtime friends, for a set that indeed showcases this Nashville icon, and 2008 CMA Hall of Fame inductee, as all she has intended to be - a singularly expressive vocalist, a brilliant interpreter of other people's songs, a graceful and confident songwriter. In particular, the album displays Harris's ability to bring new life to songs that may have been overlooked, forgotten or lost along the way. Some of the ... Detail |
Two Men With The Blues(more) »rank: 21by: Willie Nelson/Wynton Marsalis
Our review:Album Description:The event was simply billed as 'Willie Nelson Sings the Blues,' but the historic two-night stand on January 12 and 13, 2007 at Jazz at Lincoln Center was far more than that. Call it a summit meeting between two American icons, Willie Nelson & Wynton Marsalis, two of the most significant figures in modern-day country and jazz, who discovered common ground in their love for jazz standards and the blues. Their performance stirred the sounds of New Orleans, Nashville, Austin and New York City into a brilliantly programmed mix ... Detail |

Love On The Inside [Deluxe Fan Edition](more) »rank: 35by: Sugarland
Our review: :When Sugarland releases their third album Love On The Inside July 22 it'll be all about the fans. Lead members Jennifer Nettles and Kristian Bush wanted to deliver more than the average album to their loyal supporters. Together they created a Deluxe Fan Edition that will include 17 tracks (12 regular and 5 bonus) in special packaging with an expanded CD booklet, as well as access to download exclusive music video and 'behind the scenes making of the album' footage. Sugarland premiered the album's debut single 'All I Want To ... Detail |
Eagles - The Very Best Of(more) »rank: 253by: Eagles
Our review: :This packed double-disc is the slim option for fans who find the Eagles' vaunted greatest hits sets too little and the boxed set too hefty. Hit singles large and medium are here, often ('One of These Nights,' 'Hotel California') still sounding definitive and even tough. Large helpings of favorite album cuts are also included, along with a taster from a promised 2004 Eagles studio reunion. Unfortunately, 'Hole in the World,' Don Henley's response to September 11, feels just as empty and entitled as 'Get Over It,' the band's previous state-of-the-union ... Detail |

Carnival Ride(more) »rank: 33by: Carrie Underwood
Our review: :\N :Carrie Underwood’s Some Hearts, hastily made and released some five months after she won the 2005 American Idol crown, was surprisingly solid and tuneful. For her follow-up, producer Mark Bright steers her toward the big Martina McBride skies, with a plethora of strings and huge emotional crescendos. Underwood co-wrote four songs, mostly with the tried-and-true tunesmiths who made Some Hearts soar. On the torchy heartache ballad 'I Know You Won’t,' she gives a beautifully nuanced and controlled performance, but if that song would suit any number of lush ... Detail |
Just Who I Am: Poets & Pirates(more) »rank: 45by: Kenny Chesney
Our review: :1. Never Wanted Nothing More2. Don't Blink3. Shiftwork (Duet With George Strait)4. Just Not Today5. Wife And Kids6. Got A Little Crazy7. Better As A Memory8. Dancin' For The Groceries9. Wild Ride (Featuring Joe Walsh)10. Scare Me11. Demons :For his huge, rabid, and largely female fan base, the country hunk can do no wrong, and this release will satisfy the faithful. Though the title makes no sense--Chesney wrote none of the material on Just Who I Am, and it’s unlikely he thinks of himself as plural poets and pirates--the ... Detail |

Raising Sand(more) »rank: 56from: Rounder
Our review:Album Description:The musical collaboration of the decade, Raising Sand is the sound of two iconic figures stepping out of their respective comfort zones and letting their instincts lead them across a brave new sonic landscape. Despite hailing from distinctly different backgrounds, Alison Krauss and Robert Plant share a maverick spirit and willingness to extend the boundaries of their respective genres. This spirit, expertly honed by producer T Bone Burnett, has resulted in an album pitched three steps beyond some cosmic collision of early urban blues, spacious West Texas country, and ... Detail |
