Nothing But The Best (The Frank Sinatra Collection) - I’ll be honest. When I first heard about this cd through The Sinatra Family Forums back in February, I was ready to tear it to shreds. I thought to myself, “Frank’s gone 10 years now, and they’re marking the event with yet another compilation with same songs repackaged for the umpteenth time?” Even when it was announced that the songs were to be digitally remastered and a never before released bonus track was to be included, my anger and resentment towards this compilation still stuck. Continue reading Nothing But The Best (The Frank Sinatra Collection)

Love Songs by The Bee Gees – Eighteen songs representing the best love songs the Bee Gees have written over five decades (which is incredibly debatable considering how many they have written). The actual list is tremendous and these chosen gems truly represent the variations the Gibbs have produced over the years. Included in the UK version is the song, “Lovers And Friends” with Ronan Keating singing lead on the last Bee Gees love song written as well as the album cut, “Heart Like Mine”. It is a completely Remastered collection appealing only to those romantically inclined. Continue reading Love Songs by The Bee Gees

WWE The Music – A New Day, Volume 10 (Amazon MP3 Exclusive) - Great set of tunes overall! I know I’ve been looking everywhere for a lot of these songs long before this compilation came out, and I know that I’m probably not alone. There are a couple of tracks here that make downloading this comp worth it (not to mention the price), and there are plenty of others that will have you singing right along in the gym/car/house/etc. Continue reading WWE The Music – A New Day, Volume 10 (Amazon MP3 Exclusive)

The 50 Greatest Pieces of Classical Music by London Philharmonic Orchestra & David Parry – I just wanted to say how pleased I am with this acquisition. As you probably know the London Philharmonic is one of the world’s outstanding orchestras, and the collection is pretty much every piece you would expect to be included, and then some. It reminded me of the proms concert I went to years ago, it has that same high energy music that really rouses and gets the crowd going. Continue reading The 50 Greatest Pieces of Classical Music by London Philharmonic Orchestra & David Parry

Greatest Hits by James Taylor – As a 14 year old boy, I am expected to listen to Lymp Bizcuit and the terrible music produced today. What a refreshing type of music James Taylor has created; like no other type around, JT’s music provides a soothing sound everytime I listen to it. When I’m down it cheers me up. When im too excited it calms me down. It is the greatest CD ever created. With great hits such as “You’ve Got A Friend”, “How Sweet It Is(To Be Loved By You)”, “Carolina On My Mind”, and “Fire and Rain”, James Taylor’s Greatest Hits is a must for anyone. — by Jason Continue reading Greatest Hits by James Taylor

Buffet Hotel by Jimmy Buffett – The best piece of advice I can give is to put this album on and listen to it with you headphones on – forget the phone, emails, and real life for an hour or so and just let inner child parrothead come out and play on the musical trip Jimmy Buffett is serving. It’s a good trip and the weather, water, and music is mighty fine here, so jump on in and enjoy the escape!!! With all the trouble in the world nowadays, it’s nice to have the comfort of something uplifting and entertaining to help take your over-stressed mind on a much needed escape for a little while and Jimmy Buffett delivers with his newest album. Continue reading Buffet Hotel by Jimmy Buffett

Rated R (Explicit) by Rihanna – I’m usually not a big Rihanna fan,and quite frankly she’s been more popular with 12 y.o. then the college crowd. But she keeps making the hits and like Miley Cyrus, has proven to be quite sustainable and sometimes enjoyable. I liked SOS when it came out when i was in high school, and i thought umbrella and don’t stop the music were somewhat enjoyable tracks. I was awaiting this album, because let’s face it. Behind Britney and Beyonce,she’s probably the highest ranking pop star of the past few years. I knew that she would probably do the Madonna and Britney route and try to do a S&M,dark theme type album and boy was i right. I actually really enjoyed this cd all the way through. Continue reading Rated R (Explicit) by Rihanna

Battle Studies by John Mayer – Once again Mayer hits all octaves in a bluesy, jazzy, poppy kind of way! His unique voice and sophisticated guitar riffs with the nice drum beats make this CD another great piece to add to you collection. If you are a true Mayer fan, it is a no brainer. His music keeps you upbeat and happy. The lyrics can be a bit simplistic at times, yet at others deeper meanings can be found. Continue reading Battle Studies by John Mayer

Southern Voice (Tim McGraw) - Southern Voice has a decidedly mellow tone to it throughout most of its 12 tracks, the majority of which never really move past mid-tempo. This pattern is broken up only by the two songs chosen as lead singles: Business Doing Pleasure with You and Southern Voice. These songs were undoubtedly tapped by the label to market an album that, while it doesn’t quite reach the territory of “dark” (though the theme of Good Girls and parts of I’m Only Jesus certainly qualifies), contains a number of, in McGraw’s words, “flawed characters” that explore a sizable amount of pretty heavy territory and give the album a pretty dominant somber tone. Continue reading Southern Voice (Tim McGraw)
