I was not expecting a Lucinda Williams disk so soon after 'West' was released. I didn't even know 'Little Honey' was coming until I stumbled across a review in a Sunday paper a few days prior to its release date.

Unlike many, I really liked 'West', save a few songs. I thought it had some unique elements for a Williams disk. It was supposedly her 'sad' album, as opposed to her 'angry' album or this one, which people are calling her 'happy' disk. Whatever.

Williams sings with such conviction on any of her releases, that I don't really go for the emotional labels people & reviewers insist putting on her.

But I will say - after a month or so of playing, this disk is not grabbing me. Not entirely. It has its moments, but all of her disks have moments ('World ... Read More

I had never heard of Ray LaMontagne before Amazon's recommendation engine pointed out to me that people frequently bought Martin Sexton's "Solo" along with "Gossip in the Grain." I'm a huge fan of Martin Sexton since about a year ago, and looking for more amazing folk/rock music to experience.

So I sampled a few tracks before downloading mp3s for "You are the Best Thing" and "Let It Be Me." Repeated playings of these tracks quickly lead to buying the rest. (And then regretting not buying the physical CD.) Love the whole album, listening to it many times the past couple of days, and now waiting eagerly for his first two albums to be delivered.

The songs really move me. Emotional, honest, real. Ray's voice is superb. "I Still Care For You" didn't click right away, but I ... Read More

This CD is 48 minutes and 56 seconds long. It is a nice, but not great CD. I would of preferred more Celtic Christmas songs or if they sang some of the songs in Gaelic. I just thought is needed more of a Celtic twist.

Used Price: $7.99

In the twenty-year long run since 'Fast Car' raced into the American psyche, Tracy Chapman has delighted, wooed, soothed, and even befuddled those of us who tend toward meaningful folk-pop. Perhaps the only downfall of Chapman's latest release, then, is simply one of timing. Released on November 11th, 2008, 'Our Bright Future' could have picked up on the sweeping, historical energy propugated by the election of Barak Obama to the Presidency a week earlier. Instead, Chapman's CD exudes a quiet, introspective intimacy that, in fact, opines that 'our bright future' is actually 'in our past'... Huh? In this current political context, this rhetoric simply contradicts the newfound sense of hope many Americans felt with the kind of presidential election many of us thought would not occur during our lifetime. ...

7.Day After Tomorrow by: Joan Baez
September 09, 2008
Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

>>More Details
Music : Day After Tomorrow
I have listened to Joan Baez songs since I was in grammar school and I am just as much in awe of her voice now as I was then (the sixties). Persoanlly I appreciate the more religious tones of the CD. After the recent political roller coaster that we have been on it is nice to be able to sit down, listen to music that actually talks to our thoughts, and relax our spirits. To those who say her voice is off key, I have been in church and heard old voices off key, trust me, Joan's voice is dead on perfect. I was able to attend her concert in Tuscaloosa in 2008 and was amazed at how awesome it was to hear her in person.
Joan, you go girl, keep singing till the Good Lord calls you home.

I bought this as a replacement to my original. I was so disappointed that after the 3rd time trying to get used to it I threw it into the back seat.
Don't get me wrong, I really like his music. But I'm really stuck on the original versions and I believe I'm getting ripped off when what's on the disk isn't what I expected. They should have put on the cover that the songs were all remakes or refected tracks or whatever.

This is a solid Rod Stewart collection but not "definitive." After all, it's missing some of Rod's best songs (not to mention biggest hits) including "Broken Arrow" "All for Love," "Having a Party," "(I know) I'm losing you," and many others. Part of the problem is that Rod has had a lot of hits, but still if you're going to say "definitive" you should have ALL the big hits, not just most of them.
