Coco [Deluxe Edition](more) »rank: 1601by: Colbie Caillat
Our review:Album Description:Colbie Caillat's dusky vocals and laid back rhythms have earned her critical acclaim and 2 million albums sales since the release of her debut album COCO last July. The story of Caillat's myspace rise is well known by now; the power of the site and her legion of fans (Over 25 million!) netted her a record deal, huge sales, a Top 5 album debut and three hit singles (so far) with the ubiquitous 'Bubbly', the follow-up 'Realize' and the current single 'The Little Things'.

Diamonds & Rust(more) »rank: 1986by: Joan Baez
Our review:Album Description:Ms. Baez's most successful album, artistically and commercially...and she recorded it on her own terms and direction. The material she chose to cover includes songs originally by Jackson Browne, Stevie Wonder, her forever love Bob Dylan and The Allman Brothers. But it was the title track that must have brought her the most satisfaction, as it was self-penned. An ode to her fabled affair with Dylan, it speaks from the heart frankly, affectionately and unapologetically.

James Taylor - Greatest Hits, Vol. 2(more) »rank: 1098by: James Taylor
Our review: :After the frequently dark themes of his Warner Bros. years, James Taylor lightened his approach in the '80s and '90s with gentle affirmations such as 'That's Why I'm Here' and 'Shed a Little Light.' Greatest Hits Volume 2, a sequel to the 1976 disc that has sold 11 million copies, covers this material with a generous 16 cuts. Unfortunately, thanks to the often too-polite production and a couple too many oldies covers ('Handy Man' is exquisite, 'Up on the Roof' and 'Everyday' somnolent), the work here is uneven and blurred together. A handful of gems do prevail, though; especially notable are 'Secret o' ... Detail |
