Whiskey Store Live is a nine track set of
sizzling, soulful blues, featuring selections from
each artists solo work and six selections from a
2002 release.
Legendary blueswoman Rory Block is an artist of
integrity. A loving, gentle soul who's down to
earth with everyone she meets. Block is highly
respected by her peers for her continuous
dedication in representing traditional blues.
Last Fair Deal is a brilliant piece of
work, containing 14 songs highlighting the artist's
passionate vocals, stinging slide technique and
instinctual interpretation of the genre's
origins.
On Remembering Patsy Cline, 12
contemporary female artists, bridging much of the
pop music spectrum, from jazz to pop to country,
replicate the songs on the Patsy Cline hits
package. The result is a fresh look at one of the
most intriguing personalities in American
music.
Let's Leave This Town is a delight of the
first order. Veteran songwriter/vocalist/guitarist
Chip Taylor and young singer/fiddler Carrie
Rodriguez are an intriguing new duo.
Known as one of the most talented acoustic Delta
blues artists in the business, Rory Block has
completely surprised her fans with her latest
release, I'm Every Woman.
After the Storm is an entirely worthwhile
album, if only for the future promise that it
holds. Stacey is one to watch: don't underestimate
the power of a chin.
Martina McBride is apple pie. She's Sunday pot
roast and the girl next door. With eyes as blue as
her Nashville-tinged voice is clear, McBride
embodies American made music -- Southern style.
From end to end When
Somebody Loves You is one of Jackson's most
consistently upbeat albums and a very good example
of the work of a mature musician at the height of
his confidence and ability.
Irony, well-aimed
harmonies and very solid musicianship are gaining
The Warren Brothers a growing respect and affection
from serious fans of new country.
The 14 songs included on
String of Pearls makes for a cohesive whole.
It's an album of incredible clarity that does a
great job of showcasing this versatile and
committed band of performers.
The Where the Heart Is soundtrack is a
fairly good sampling of what's happening in modern
country. Neophytes brought to the music through the
film could have a much worse introduction to
today's country music.
