Letting insurgent country songwriter Robbie Fulks loose in Nashville was sort of like letting the Sex Pistols tour in Texas--just not a good idea. When Fulks got home to his native Chicago though, he had a batch of what most country fans would decidedly not call Country Love Songs. Despite their provocative titles and sometimes unsavory lyrics, tunes like "She Took a Lot of Pills (and Died)" and "The Scrapple Song" really are pure country--taking their honky-tonk cues from Buck Owens, Webb Pierce and Ray Price. Fulks sings each in a voice somewhere between a warble and a sneer, but that's half the fun of it. Steve Albini's straight-ahead steel-guitar-heavy production is the other. Good, greasy stuff. --Michael Ruby
Product Description:
Co-produced by Steve Albini, and features appearances by the Skeletons, and Tom Brumley (of the Buckaroos), and drop-dead cool honky tonk classics (or soon to be, anyway) like "Every Kinda Music But Country," "The Buck Starts Here," and the sing-a-long fave "She Took A Lot Of Pills (And Died)."

It's a shame that only one side of Elvis' multi-faceted talent is remembered 25 years on from his death but there is so much more to the millennium's greatest performer than garish jump suits and shaky legs. The 50 Greatest Love Songs reminds us what a great singer Presley was; coming from the heart with more feeling and passion than most could ever imagine, all 50 of these songs are classics of the last four decades. The double disc set includes all the up-tempo standards like the incredible "Suspicious Minds", "I just can't help believin'" and "Always On My Mind" plus the Dusty Springfield signature tune "You Don't Have to Say You Love Me". Also included are some of his older works from before and during the cinema years like "Good Luck Charm", "Love Me Tender" and "Old Shep". So no blue shoes, no sequinned jump suits, just the king singing about life, love and heartache. --Georgina CollinsCustomer Reviews:

Customer Reviews:
Black's Heartfelt Venerable Tribute to "Love" .......2007-05-23
Cupid's quixotic ways gets an album's worth of veneration on Clint Black's latest enterprise. Culled from his extensive canon with one previously unrecorded entry (Jim Croce's "'I'll Have to Say I Love You in a Song"), these are all songs thread together with romantic love at their cynosure. However, this is not your typical "best of" collection; these numbers are re-recorded with Black himself at the helm. While some have a religious similarity compared with the originals, a few are creatively encased with a different arrangement and nuanced by Black a little differently. Vocally, Black hits the high water mark here: he brings a more seasoned maturity that gives these romantic excavations depth and insights sometimes missing from the originals. Fans who have had been smitten by Black's honeyed nasal twang (as well as his chiseled dimples) will have much to revel here.
As aforementioned the sole previously unreleased track is Jim Croce's "I'll Have to Say I Love You in a Song." Employing a 70s rock palette dotted with some winsome dobro punctuations, the midtempo "I'll Have to Say" rocks romantically with a tongue-tied Black opting for the radio as his communicative means to express his feelings to his paramour. Most drastic in terms of its stylistic make-over is "Our Kind of Love." While the original has a sinewy bluegrassy feel with Alison Krauss offering barely audible backing, this new version is a full-blown duet with Canadian chanteuse Carolyn Dawn Johnson on a fuller country underpinning. Similarly, Black's Grammy nominated duet with wife Lisa Hartman-Black "When I Said I Do" enjoys a luscious orchestrated arrangement, making its message of committed love sound even more gorgeously romantic.
Though Black nuances certain words differently relative to the original, "Something That We Do" still preserves the acoustic feel of the original. On "Like the Rain," Black's number 1 record from a few years back, he brings in fellow artist Steve Wariner to sing backup on what is the most poetic intricate ballad Black has had ever written. This multiple-CMA winner's use of the rain metaphor over the development of a couple's relationship from its blissful start to its tumultuous times is just stellar. As hinted by "Like the Rain," not everything is maudlin, so the less romantic at heart need not fret. "My Imagination," for instance, finds Black daydreaming about an unattainable lover that possesses a heartbreaking tenor that is just so bittersweet.
Of the hat-wearing alumni of the 90s, though Clint Black has made his mark, but he's often overlooked as a singer of songs that deal with the heart. Things are about to change with this new CD. With these songs so packed wih depth and emotions, Black has done himself, his fans and Cupid real proud.

Great ablum.......2003-01-17
Classic Raye.......2001-04-09
Great songs but still a rip-off.......2000-09-28
The only new song here is the Don McClean's classic "And I Love You So." This track is solely produced by Raye himself. Unfortunately Raye delivers an ordinary version of this ballad backed by gentle guitars. The arrangement of the song is safe rather than adventurous. However, Raye's heartfelt vocals make up for the lack of originality in its production.
The rest of the songs here have all been found on Raye's previous releases. But I must applaud Epic for not just choosing the hits. Well chosen album cuts are represented here including the old Waylon Jennings classic "Dreaming My Dreams with You." "All My Roads," a track from Raye's "The Walls Came Down," is another excellent choice. The song starts off softly but builds up to a crescendo allowing Raye to showcase his strong and high tenor vocals.
"I Volunteer" is my favorite song from this CD. It's one of the best songs about self-sacrifice ever written. While perennial favourites like the semi-religious "The Gift" and Raye's big hit "In This Life" are also included.
A good collection of love songs where the theme of forever love is well explored.

While their success has long been celebrated since their first No. 1 singles in 1980, Alabama's influence tends to be ignored. The quartet's sustained success opened doors for bands from Exile, Shenandoah, and Confederate Railroad to Diamond Rio. Commemorating the end of their active touring career was occasion for this, their 24th album, which is not a garden-variety "greatest hits" package. This compilation reflects their more romantic side, beginning with 1981's "Feels So Right," their 1983 hit cover of Rita Coolidge's pop hit "The Closer You Get," and the Carpenters' "Touch Me When We're Dancing" (1986). Mixing original material with quality songs from, among others, Mike Reid and Ronnie Rogers allowed them to maintain their momentum. Two recent recordings, "In the Mood" and "The Living Years," bring the collection full circle. Their ability to sustain this softer side so strongly and consistently, even as they galvanized fans with catchy, upbeat singles like "Mountain Music," reflects a legacy that will resonate for the foreseeable future. --Rich KienzleCustomer Reviews:

Good but short.......2007-01-09
this is it. Englebert has his own style and was true to form
in this cd. I'm not a real fan of his but I bought this as
a gift for someone who was and I ended up listening to it
because of the selection of songs included. If your an
Englebert fan and also if you're not, this will please. My only
complaint is there are not enough songs included.
songs for the romantic at heart.......2005-02-14
Bebu Silvetti is well known in the world of Latin music, where he creates his instrumental magic for superstars like Luis Miguel and Rocio Durcal. His arrangements are a fantastic blend for Engelbert's style, who with good reason has earned the title of "The King of Romance".
This CD has 9 of the most tender and loving of the 12 songs found on the "Love Unchained" CD (missing from the CD are "Answer Me", "(Sittin' on) the Dock of the Bay", and the upbeat "Such a Night"), and the final track, "There's No Song Like a Slow Song" is from Engelbert's 1996 CD, "After Dark", and is a lilting number with a contemporary country feel, and a spoken verse that is a reminder of that other King of music, Elvis.
This compilation is a winner...perfect for lovers, candlelight dinners, and those ever young at heart. Total playing time for this nicely priced CD is approximately 37 minutes.

The liner notes to baby records could be lifted from one jewel case to the next with nary an eye ever batted, because they all trot out some form of the same trite message: "It doesn't matter what you sing to your baby, so long as you sing." Don't count Sara Hickman out--on Newborn (and on the logical successor, Toddler), she lets us know from the get-go that "my wish was to create an album for parents who have trepidation about singing to their newborns." Still, and despite the inclusion of standards like "Hush" and "You Are My Sunshine" on this not overly touchy-feely 15-tracker, she's concocted something special, outdoing her well-intentioned peers by performing originals so repetitive (the soothing "It's Alright") or ridiculous ("Goop's In It," about a booger-infested baby peeper) that singing along, infant at your side, seems right. Hickman wins us over with informality; in effect, she hands over her baby monitor, letting us listen in on stuff that's spilled spontaneously (and, because she's Sara Hickman, melodically) from her lips while gazing dopily at her own newborn. Occasionally, she can go overboard with the candor--listening to the ballad "Lily," written for her daughter, feels like opening somebody else's love letter--but forgiving her is easy, first because by being so open she becomes an instant surrogate friend to isolated new parents; and second, because her voice, evocative of Karen Carpenter on "Lily" and of Linda Ronstadt on "It's Alright," will tame the testiest baby. It's vocal crushed velvet. Give this album to stupefied new moms--by not being overly concerned with making sense, it may be the most sensible baby album you can buy. --Tammy La GorceAlbum Description

Seriously, this CD was created to encourage parents to sing to their children. Simple songs that are soothing to babies. One of the songs was made up by Sara while walking the floor with her colicky firstborn. This is the kind of stuff that settles the stomach of both parents and babies. Beautiful stuff.
