Few artists have sung about marital infidelity as often as Reba McEntire, and she returns to the theme on her triumphant Read My Mind. No moment better illuminates what a marriage is really made of than the moment when a wife confronts a cheating husband, and McEntire returns to that showdown again and again. On "I Won't Stand in Line," McEntire addresses a husband who is quite nice to her when she's around but equally nice to lots of other women when she's not. On "I Wish That I Could Tell You," McEntire plays the wife in a lifeless marriage who wishes she could make it easy for her husband to go. "Till You Love Me" and the album's title track are both straightforward love songs with juicy melodies, and McEntire opens up her enormous, gospelish voice on them as if she were Nashville's Whitney Houston-- another big-throated singer with an instinct for the emotional jugular. -- Geoffrey Himes

a songwriters dream.......2007-07-18
I can't find much to complaint about and if you're a Gordon Lightfoot fan, you won't either. Even in the early days of his career he was pumping out one memorable song after another. He was very good at consistency. His cover of Janis Joplin's "Me and Bobby McGee" is pretty awesome with a pretty dark vocal melody from Mr. Lightfoot. Some of the songs I admit repeat a bit often, such as "Cobwebs and Dust" but that doesn't interfere with the well above average songwriting. It's probably easy to get some of these songs confused with each other, but you'll be humming the vocal melodies to many of them well after the album has finished playing in your CD player. Good music.
The Master.......2007-01-06
I truly find it odd that virtually every one of my favorite folk singers are Canadians, i.e., Joni Mitchell, Loreena McKennit. In the male category, though, Gordo reigns supreme.
Great.......2006-11-05
It Just Wears Well.......2006-08-02
Particularly, Your Love's Return: Song for Stephen Foster, is masterful lyrically and musically. It doesn't make any 'best of' compilations, so I think you need this album too. Roses are waiting for dewdrops to fall...
The Canadian Balladeer Extends His Audience .......2006-03-10
Comprised of -11 tracks- of now classic Lightfoot tunes, this is essential Lightfoot. Heck, what am I talking about? They're all essential Lightfoot!

Released during the era of leisure suits and pet rocks, the film Superman: The Movie has aged about as well. But the often-clumsy charms of Richard Donner's cartoonish, hit-and-miss take on the Man of Steel was blessed with at least one superlative artistic effort: John Williams's epic score. The composer's Oscar-nominated music (coming on the heels of Star Wars and Close Encounters) was a wall-to-wall heroic symphony, rife with memorable melodies and ominous arrangements. Almost every original cut on this soundtrack appears in an expanded version, supplemented by nearly a dozen previously unreleased cues and alternate takes. Featuring a deluxe slipcase and extensive, new liner notes, this is the definitive release of one of Maestro Williams's greatest scores. --Jerry McCulleyCustomer Reviews:
Original 1978 Recording?.......2007-04-04
AWESOME! John Williams shows again why he's the master of movie scores.......2006-08-31
The original soundtrack release from 1978, while still an excellent collection, was sadly lacking in several of the best cues from the film. Most important of these was Track 12 (Disc 1) in which the helicopter crashes on the Daily Planet's roof and dangles precariously above the street. Williams builds on it, introducing Superman's theme into it as Clark Kent runs across the street, then rips open his shirt to reveal the 'S' - the symbol of the House of El - then enters the revolving door & exits as Superman. At the end of this is one of my favorite cues; the Superman theme is played as the Man of Steel appears above Metropolis, flying over the city on the hunt for criminals. 'Crime of the Century' (Track 6, Disc 2) was one of my favorite cues; this one portrayed the missile convoy as it made its way along the freeway, where Luthor staged the accident to get his cronies close enough to sabotage the missiles. There are too many new tracks to list here that should have been included the first time around, just a lack of space precluded this from happening.

Christine Lavin's Music Makes You Think of Her As a Friend.......2005-06-09
The title cut talks about that "getting to know you..." stage of a relationship when partners who are just starting to pair up will submit themselves to all kinds of things they usually would NOT - just to please their prospective mate. So - the protagonist of the song endures skiing, sushi and the opera when she really doesn't like those things. The song includes some of the funniest passages I've ever heard in a song:
Some say eating sushi is like chewing on your own cheek
Or sucking down a bucket full of tentacled slime
I do not like sushi, but Hey! I'm eating sushi....
It's a good thing he can't read my mind.
This collection includes her trademark wit as well as some pieces more introspective such as "Realities", in which she laments the human tendencies to overvalue fantasy and undervalue things more familiar - such as your already existing relationship. It also includes some tunes that are just plain fun - One of my Favorite Lavin tunes is "Santa Monica Pier" which is just a little narrative ballad about how wonderfully blissful it is to be at that magical place. She has a real gift for description: "The palms trees all look a little bit like Tina Turner from behind" - which she wrote at that time when Tina Turner was the sexiest 40-something on the planet. The humor tour-de-force is "Mysterious Woman" where she writes about balancing the desire to be seen as mysteriously desirable as a woman with the reality of things like defrosting your refridgerator. She covers the 60's pop tune "Downtown" with Livingston Taylor, and they turn it into a nice folk hook.
I wrote in another review that listening to her recordings was like having a conversation with a cherished friend. This is one of the discs that makes me think that.
Not much humor on this album.......2004-05-30
Christine wrote all the songs here except Downtown, which is a cover of the sixties pop classic. While lacking the energy of the original, it is one of the more interesting covers of this song. Christine sings it as a duet with Livingston Taylor. In the liner notes, Christine goes into great detail about her idea for a video version of the song in which she is a poor unfortunate who gets mugged while Livingston is a big-hearted cab driver who comes to her rescue. I do not know if this video ever got made but I enjoy their interpretation of the song.
The title track is amusing though I'm surprised at the lyrics. It seems that Christine is doing all the things that her man likes but she hates, yet convincing him that she likes them anyway. In an age when women sing about their independence, this song goes against the grain. Still, I'm not complaining. The other amusing song is Mysterious woman. In the liner notes, Christine explains that she'll never be mysterious because she talks too much. Another cheerful, though not funny, song is Santa Monica pier - a song simply about having a good time.
This set includes several sad songs including Realities (about a breaking relationship), 85 (contrasting the pleasures of Miami Beach with the loneliness of one individual who lives there), Never go back (wishing it were possible to go back but knowing it isn't), Somebody's baby (about homeless people) and Ain't love grand (about an old woman who never bothered with love when she was young but wished she had).
If you are looking for humor, this is not the album to buy. This shows (mostly) the serious side of Christine's music. If you enjoy singer-songwriters in contemporary folk music, Christine is definitely worth listening to.

Remake........2002-08-25
Performed by 3 ladies of Pop, Ultra Naté, Amber and Jocelyn Enriquez, they give the classic track a brand new magical up-tempo/dance beat. The song can be welcomed and enjoyed by a whole new generation. "If you could read my mind" was re-recorded for the movie '54', the 3 divas also appear in the closing scene. Memorable and beautifully done.
