Willie Nelson goes back to his roots with a songbook of classic Americana. Country Music was recorded in Nashville, TN and produced by T Bone Burnett. Nelson wrote one track on the album, “Man With The Blues” and, with T Bone Burnett, co-arranged three traditional songs, “Satan Your Kingdom Must Come Down,” “I Am A Pilgrim,” and “Nobody’s Fault But Mine.” The album also features many popular old-time/bluegrass/folk songs including Ernest Tubb’s “Seaman’s Blues, Merle Travis’ “Dark As A Dungeon,” and Doc Watson’s “Freight Train Boogie”. Willie Nelson collaborated with many musicians on Country Music including old-time banjo master Riley Baugus, double bassist Dennis Crouch, and T Bone himself, all musicians featured on Raising Sand, the 2009 Grammy® award-winning Album of the Year by Robert Plant and Alison Krauss.
I love this CD. I have loved Willie Nelson for many years. He is a real country artist, although his music transcends musical boundaries. His voice is unique, and so is his guitar picking. I can always recognize his guitar playing. These selections are all beautiful and make me emotional. I have listened to it over and over this week, may 9 or 10 times so far.

As foreboding a figure as Johnny Cash was, his son John Carter Cash writes in liner notes to this excellent CD, he was also a big kid: “a fun-loving, easygoing, laughing man.” That’s not to say he was more inclined to skateboard over the line than to walk it, only that given his mesmerizing voice and his gift for storytelling, he had an enviable way of relating to kids. Thirty years on, parents who pick up this disc will find not a lot has changed: In 15 songs never before released on CD–four of which are bonus tracks not included on the 1975 classic–the Man in Black melds the silly with the sweet, the madcap with the meaningful, and emerges as a country-folk Pied Piper any kid would kill to have for an uncle. “Nasty Dan,” the opener, will be familiar not only to those who grew up singing along to the original LP, but also to subsequent generations of “Sesame Street” watchers (Oscar duets on a later version). But for most, the rest will arrive as pure revelation. “Old Shep,” a dog song, deserves placement on a disc of classic pet tributes, if such a thing exists; “Tiger Whitehead” treads fearlessly through wild bear territory; “Ah Bos Cee Dah” is nonsensical noodling with the language at its most brilliant; and “I Got a Boy and His Name Is John,” a duet with the great June Carter Cash, steers the modern listener to a long-lost place where love of family was enough for a kid to get by on. –Tammy La Gorce
I really dislike most children’s albums. I think they’re so sterile & cheesy. That said, we love singing children songs together and doing all of the gestures. Some of our favorite albums are Curious George, Catch the Moon (Elizabeth Mitchell & Lisa Loeb), Songs to Grow on for Mother & Child (Woody Guthrie), & Leadbelly Sings for Children.
Johnny Cash’s Children’s Album is my boy’s favorite- we especially love I Got a Boy and His Name is John and Grandfather’s Clock. It’s beautiful to hear the love in Johnny’s voice for his kids- that’s what makes this album extra special. He’s not trying to sound kid-friendly or upbeat (hate that)- he’s just singing from his beautiful heart. For people who want their children to have a rich and varied taste in music, this is a great bet.

Louis Armstrong, The Definitive Collection
I wanted an album of Louis’ songs that included “Give Me a Kiss to Build a Dream On”, so chose this compilation, but was surprised at the quality and range of the other songs also on this CD. This is “Sunday-brunch-on-the-balcony-in-the-sun-with-mimosas” kind of a CD and I enjoy it every weekend!

I bought this CD a few months ago and listen to it a lot in the car with my 5, 3, and 1 year old children. It has great variety in the genres of the music – some very jazzy, some more bluesy. My kids especially love the Belly Button Song, but they are all terrific and not ones that you find on other kids’ CDs. Also, although it’s “international” all the songs are in English.

Eclecticism has been a hallmark of Richard Patrick’s career in Filter, and it’s administered with crushing efficiency on The Trouble With Angels. Fans weaned on the industrial outbursts and corrosive beats of 1995’s Short Bus and 1999’s Title of Record will be ecstatic to hear Patrick’s unmistakable scream and unflinching honesty dominating the new album.

On the surface, leadoff single ‘The Inevitable Relapse’ details a shattered man succumbing to addiction, but can be read as a study of love lost, consumption or obsession, depending on your perspective. ‘…it’s really a love song’ says Richard.

Filter’s The Trouble With Angels contains Richard Patrick’s strongest, most aggressive songwriting yet.

*Deluxe CD Features 4 Bonus Tracks and added package content*
This release took two solid weeks of consistent listening to grow on me – and become for me a superior album, marking THE welcome return of Filter (and a mature Richard Patrick – with his continually evolving and ever-more polished vocals), after the serious letdown of “Anthems”.

I agree with several reviewers on two points: (1) “Angels” isn’t a revisiting of SHORT BUS (I’ll address this in turn); and (2) “Angels” doesn’t immediately grab one by the throat upon initial listening (however, neither did Tool’s TEN THOUSAND DAYS, but after living with the album, its alchemical magic convinced us all that we were in the possession of legitimate musical `gold’).

“Angels” is on par with both “Title of Record” and “Amalgamut,” and this is high praise indeed! I will even go beyond this – because of Patrick’s stint in “Army,” concomitant with his general maturation as a musician (and human), his song-writing skills have improved greatly, and this latest Filter album benefits from this fact (and is all the better for it).

Yes, there is a reflective-reflexive nature to a majority of these compositions, but I found nothing pretentious nor presumptuous about this autobiographical approach to songwriting by Patrick.

I always refrain from a track-by-track review of CDs. Suffice to say, there’s an ample amount of slamming-hammering songs, with infectious grooves, created by drums and serpentine guitar-riffs, for the most ardent Filter devotee (which are quasi-reminiscent of “Bus”)!

But, if you’re expecting a so called `miracle,’ in the form of a resurrected “Bus” for 2010 – You’re going to be seriously let down – (Caveat – buyer beware!) thus, I recommend, in this case, do not purchase this album. It is not the hallowed second-coming of this classic (yes, I said `classic’) album, but in all truth, I don’t think that’s what it’s intended to be – and further – why the hell should it be?!?

If you have patience, and you are a `meditative’ listener, then this album will not let you down. Remember, all great art, if it is `sublime’ art, also requires work on the part of the spectator, observer, and listener – music as art – is always a two-way street, a co-creative effort.

If you’re not a complete ‘obsessive’ type with respect to “Bus,” purchase this CD, live with it, and allow it to work its magic.

Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers are responsible for some of the most infectious songs and critically-acclaimed albums of all time. Join these legendary Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees for a blistering live performance of their hits – along with rare unreleased songs in this tour de force of American Roots Music that affirms their status as rock royalty. Contains 22 songs plus 9 bonus tracks.
First, this concert looks just beautiful in high-definition. You can see all the details in the Indian rugs on which the band stands, for instance. It also sounds pretty darn good, too, thanks to the terrific musicians in Tom Petty’s band. Mike Campbell on lead guitar and Benmont Tench on keyboards were particularly good, I thought.

Petty has never had that good a voice but yet he’s interesting to hear and he comes across as a real likable guy. All of the group’s members, which also include bassist Ron Blair and guitar-harmonic-harmony vocals Scott Thurston and drummer Steve Ferrone all look like they’re having a good time. I suspect they usually do when they’re playing.

Everybody has their favorites songs of each artist and group and, at least in this concert, mine was “Melinda,” which featured fantastic piano by Tench and an interesting guitar sound from Campbell. You can’t go wrong either with rock “oldies” like “Baby, Please Don’t Go” and “Born In Chicago,” “Red Rooster” and “I Got A Woman.” There is a good mix of fast and slow, rock and blues and ballads…..all adding up to an entertaining show.

AC/DC’s 1976 album digitally remastered and reissued in a special digipak plus a 16 page full color booklet containing all original album art, many unpublished photos, classic memorabilia and new 2003 liner notes. Epic.
Some bands material just gets better with age. High Voltage shows not only what was to come but much furhter beyond other bands AC/DC were in 1976. Angus already had his chops well rehearsed and Bon was already a force to be reckoned with. Sad that he was headed on a path to final destruction and death. This album is chalked full of classics destined for constant radio and LIVE rotation with T.N.T., Live Wire, The Jack, and Its a long Way to the Top

DELUXE EDITION – FEATURING 4 BONUS TRACKS + LENTICULAR COVER ART.

Maya Arulpragasam was born in Hounslow, London England. When she was 6 months old, her family moved back to their homeland, Sri Lanka. At 8 years old, Maya moved back to London, where she and her family were housed as refugees from the civil unrest in their native region. Maya learned proper English at school and slang at home by listening to NWA and Public Enemy on the radio.

In 2000, Maya was encouraged by electro-clash icon Peaches to make music on a Roland MC-505 Groovebox and she pulled lyrics from journals she had written during a 4 month trip to the Caribbean island of St. Vincent to craft her first songs. In 2005, she released Arular, and reached the mainstream charts in Europe and the U.K. It was considered as much a political statement as a musical one, as it referenced the Tamil Tigers.

In 2007, Kala was released. Like Arular, it received unanimous international critical praise. It topped multiple “Best of the Year” lists in publications around the world with its deft mixture of politics, social consciousness, and inimitable genre-blending.

I must say I have enjoyed each of their first two albums. But "Maya" is a dramatic improvement in production-wise, and song structure. This album to me sounds much fuller and more to deal with diversity. If the previous albums were more of a low-end Dance Hall to hear. I would also set "Maya" Timbaland and Missy Elliot in the ball park with a small mixed Nelly Furtado and this is an honor. Highlights on this album are "Stepping Up, Tell xxxo, Teqkilla me because InternetConnection, What Iz and Iz. "What improvements are certainly from their two previous efforts. MAYA really proves that is growing and artists on the road to a much wider audience. The album is definitely a player long and keeps your interest from track to track. Experimental Hard Beats with a touch of electronics for the most part, what are these efforts. Check it out you will not be disappointed if you are a fan and a connoisseur of electronic music.

When people talk about Jakob Dylan these days, they’re less likely to refer to his famous father than to his band, the Wallflowers, and their breakthrough album, Bringing Down the Horse. Not only a staggering commercial success, the disc is also a superb example of the folk-rock Jakob’s daddy helped pioneer more than 30 years ago. The Wallflowers don’t need family relations to command respect.
Jakob Dylan’s voice is tinged with the mournful whine that
made his father the world’s most famous folk-rock singer. Dylan’s
band, The Wallflowers, has made a name for itself on MTV because of
the stark video for its single 1 “One Headlight.” Their debut
album, Bringing Down The Horse (Interscope), suggests that there is
much more to the Wallflowers than famous parents and top-ten
videos.
The richness of this album hits you immediately in the form of
the aforementioned hit single. “One Headlight” is like the
Lovecraftian version of the Hansons’ “Mmmm Bop”: a maddeningly
catchy pop song about a doomed relationship. “One Headlight”
bristles with dark landscapes. When Dylan sings that he doesn’t
remember when his lost love “died easy of a broken heart disease,”
you believe him. When he describes her funeral, you can almost
feel the misty rain pummeling her headstone.
The album moves forward from “One Headlight” to heights of
artistic excellence that continually prove that we are not dealing
with one-hit wonders here. Mournful ballads like “Sixth Avenue
Heartache” and “Three Marlenas” still resonate with infectious
melodies that make it difficult not to sing or at least hum along.
“The Difference” is the best straight-out rocker on the disc, and
its celebratory mood contrasts sharply with the mournfulness of
“One Headlight.” After repeated listenings, I have begun to
realize that Bob is not the only Dylan destined to make a mark on
the face of popular music.

Gogol Bordello, Gypsy Punks: Underdog World Strike
In this day of musical mediocrity, Gogol Bordello provides the energy and excitement I’ve been holding out for for a few years now. It’s the kind of thing that when you’re listening, you can’t help but move to the beat.

My sister was the one who turned me on to them and then as a gift I bought her tickets to a show this past Summer. I was totally hooked after that. If I had to describe them in one word:

INTENSE!!!

Buy this CD if you’re looking for an amazing, energetic, communal type experience. They are inexplicably awesome!!! You just have to see for yourself.

P.S.
If you can’t get enough of them – also see the film Everything Is Illuminated – excellent film co-starring Eugene Hutz.
