Mercury (Audio CD) - April 14, 2003 |
Amazon.co.uk Review
On first thought, the idea of the Man in Black recording such covers as
"Bridge over Troubled Water", "Danny Boy" and "The First Time Ever I Saw
Your Face" might seem odd, even for an artist who's been able to put his
personal stamp on just about everything. But The Man Comes Around,
which also... |

Amazon.co.uk Review
Every home should have a Johnny Cash compilation. Cash is a genuine
titan of popular music, whose finest work should be as venerated as
anything by Elvis Presley, Bob Dylan, Bob Marley, David Bowie or Brian
Wilson, and this collection does as good a job of beginning to explain
why as any. The virtue... |

Recorded in April, 2002 in Louisville, Kentucky, Alison Krauss +
Union Station Live is, surprisingly, the sweet-voiced fiddler's
first live album. Unsurprisingly, it's also a marvellous showcase of
radio-friendly, popular contemporary bluegrass: Krauss' dreamy voice,
the most gorgeous in all... |

An excellent compilation despite an obvious omission
No Johnny Cash compilation can ever include everything but this
collection contains all the essentials from the fifties and sixties, his
most productive period that yielded classic songs such as Hey porter, I
walk the line, Big river, Don't take your guns to town, Five feet high

A good introduction to Dolly's music
To anybody who already owns a compilation of Dolly's music for RCA, the
track listing here has a familiar look to it with few exceptions. The
exceptions are Please don't stop loving me, a sensational duet with
Porter Wagoner not normally included on Dolly's solo compilations, To

I'm 19, and I love Don Williams. I admit that I didn't hear of him until

A poll-winning fiddler since her teens, Alison Krauss was an established

The major-label debut from this Texas trio proves their instrumental
abilities, blending more traditional twang with slow melodic blues,
foot-tapping rockabilly, and bluegrass-inspired pop harmonies. From the
opener, "I Can Love You Better", the Chicks let their love of music and
genuine joy shine... |

As the title suggests, this is the third of the albums that Cash has

coming together with Def American founder Rick Rubin. Though Rubin was
principally famous as a hip-hop producer, he brought out the best in
Cash, having the sense... |

In 1994 Cash stunned the music world with this commanding collection of

When you possess a great pop voice, it's inevitable that you'll someday
make a pop album, and Alison Krauss has finally made hers. Instead of
bidding for radio airplay with the extravagant, extroverted pop of
Shania Twain, Trisha Yearwood, or Celine Dion, Krauss has crafted an

Not bad, but not that good either
I LOVE Dolly Parton. Her voice, her songwriting and touching delivery
make her one of the best recording artists around. But this budget CD
doesn't really do her justice.
The biggest crime of all is that the version of "I Will Always Love
You" on this CD is not the exquisite 1974 original version but... |

THE ABSOLUTE BEST FROM THE MASTER OF COUNTRY BLUES
For Hank Williams fans, this CD is a must for any collection. All the
favourites, just the way we remember them - the way country and western
used to be. A pure nostalgia trip through the best Hank Williams had to
offer. A tribute to a man we all loved and miss terribly. Thanks for the

Too many covers
This reasonably priced CD is worth it if you want the classic hits such
as Honey, Summer (The First Time), etc but is padded out with far too
many covers. Some good - some bad.
But if you want all of Bobby's hits in one place - this CD is worth
buying. |

The first four songs on Unchained come from the songbooks of
Beck, Don Gibson, Soundgarden, and Jimmie Rodgers. What might look like
absurdly unsupportable eclecticism in other artists, of course, is
pretty much standard stuff for Cash. Unchained is hardly
standard, though; it's more like the best... |
