Warner (Audio CD) - October 15, 2001 |
Amazon.co.uk Review
After immeasurable success in the US, Faith Hill finally comes to Europe
and There You'll Be is a sort of catch-up for the best bits we
may have missed along the way (or in other words, a greatest hits
collection for the un-initiated). A dozen songs which map the path of
the Georgia singer, it... |

Over the course of five mesmerising CDs, Unearthed shows us just

Best UK compilation of Patsy¿s music
Patsy set the standard for female country singers, with many of those
that followed trying (or so it seemed) to be the next Patsy Cline - even
today, over forty years after her death in a plane crash. Many
compilations are available but most of them seem to miss something
important. All of Patsy's... |

Amazing!
This full-lenght reissue of Johnny Cash's 1969 concert at San Quentin is
one of the very few country records I own.
It is also one of the best, most intense and inspired live albums I have

Excellent value, but hardly the best of.
There are so many Willie Nelson compilations that, for those new to his
wonderful music, it can be difficult to decide which one to buy. This
one covers some of the albums he recorded during his Columbia years.
However, it is impossible to produce a "best of Willie Neson" that only

Johnny Cash had been breaking new ground for a decade when At Folsom

Lee Ann Womack may well have the most hard-country female voice in
Nashville; while her first two albums showed much promise, they didn't
boost her past the middle of the pack. So what's the Nashville solution?
Instead of playing to her strengths, make her soprano sound smaller and

The Very Best of Kris Kristofferson
Kris is a poet and it shows in every one of these songs. Listening to
the warmth of his voice singing Loving Her Was Easier, the quiet
desparation of Help Me and the pain in I'd Rather Be Sorry is a delight.
I'm so glad I found this album |

Over the course of her first albums, including her fourth, 1992's
