A poll-winning fiddler since her teens, Alison Krauss was an established bluegrass star when her label persuaded her to step out from her usual projects with Union Station, her crack band, and sanction this compilation of various band and solo guest performances. The ploy worked, yielding a wonderful, odds-beating crossover hit with Krauss's cover of "Baby, Now That I've Found You," a carousing late-'60s pop chant transformed into a delicate, vulnerable declaration of love. Focusing on Krauss's lovely, yearning soprano, the track elevated the musician above her resolutely democratic role in her quintet, catapulting Krauss to the biggest bluegrass success story in over 30 years. Krauss has stayed true to her bluegrass roots, as well as to Union Station, but this cross-section of contemporary bluegrass songs, joyous gospel, and canny rock covers testifies to the young artist's luminous appeal. --Sam SutherlandCustomer Reviews:

Novelist Cormac McCarthy's literary vision of the wild west is given wide-screen treatment by maverick director Billy Bob Thornton and a cast that includes Matt Damon, Penelope Cruz, and Bruce Dern. Professional country music journeyman Marty Stuart has performed with father-in-law Johnny Cash, Earl Scruggs, and Doc Watson, in addition to a successful solo career. In his soundtrack scoring debut, he provides short, meditative instrumental pieces that are subtly explosive--rife as they are with strains of old-school country and bluegrass. Cinematic strings and orchestral percussion add a welcome menacing edge, augmenting the rustic approach without crossing over into a compromised "countrypolitan" sound. If anything, it might be nice to hear these themes extended. As it stands, the 23 listed tracks are covered in a little under 50 minutes, with many of the cuts barely lasting more than a minute or two. They stand as a new genre of cinematic country minimalism. --Rob O'ConnorCustomer Reviews:
Great western soundtrack.......2004-02-28
Features two vocal pieces, the first a spanish song sung by the very talented Raul Malo of the country group the mavericks, the second song is a beautiful ballad sung by Marty Stuart. Though I never owned any cd's of Marty Stuart he earns my respect with composing this film score.(cowboy hats off to you Mr.Stuart)

Only 12 Tracks? This Falls Wa-a-a-y Short of 'Essential'.......2006-06-28
Don't get me wrong. Williams is one of the great outlaw country artists. I first got hooked on his mid-Eighties albums like BORN TO BOOGIE and MONTANA CAFE.
What ESSENTIAL COLLECTION does is cherry pick a handful of tracks from GREATEST HITS, Vol. 1-3 (all still in print) and then adds two new tracks: The title track (which features Big & Rich, Gretchen Wilson, and Van Zant) and "Stirrin' It Up." There are just too many missing tracks to qualify this as "essential." At only 12 tracks and a little over 40 minutes, fans deserve more than this before spending their hard-earned money. A better purchase (although more expensive) is Curb's 2000 excellent 3-CD set THE BOCEPHUS BOX. At 65 tracks, it certainly provides more bang for your buck.

That Was Me: The Best of Todd Snider 1994-1998

Album Description
If you've never heard of Todd Snider, then That Was Me: Todd Snider 1994-1998 is an introduction. If you're already a fan, then his first compilation, following seven critically acclaimed albums, is a tribute to the wry, honest, brutal and yet funny Snider. Featuring 17 tracks culled from his first three albums plus a previously unreleased cover of Jimmy Buffett's "Margaritaville"--all digitally remastered from the original master tapes--That Was Me was created with Snider's full participation and includes his own liner notes and detailed songography. An iconoclastic hero of alt-country, Americana, college radio and modern folk, Snider's influences are the likes of Randy Newman, Bob Dylan and Neil Young. Born in Portland, OR, he moved to Santa Rosa, CA, after high school and learned to play the harmonica. His brother, living in Austin, TX, figured Todd might find a job in a band there so he sent him a plane ticket. After seeing Jerry Jeff play in a local bar, Snider indeed decided that was what he wanted to do with his life. During a mid-'80s stint in Memphis where he established a residency at the Daily Planet club, he was discovered by Keith Sykes, a member of Jimmy Buffett's Coral Reefer Band. John Prine then hired Snider as an assistant and eventually had him open shows. When Buffett heard Snider's demos, he signed him to his MCA imprint Margaritaville Records. His debut album, 1994's Songs for the Daily Planet, starred "Talking Seattle Grunge Rock Blues" as well as "Alright Guy," "Trouble," "You Think You Know Somebody," "Easy Money" and "That Was Me." For 1996's Step Right Up, Snider and his band, the Nervous Wrecks, continued blending bluegrass, blues, folk-rock and country-rock to forge their own distinctive sound. That Was Me reprises its "Enough," "Hey Hey," "Moon Dawg's Tavern," "Horseshoe Lake," "Tension," "Better Than Ever Blues (Part Two)," "Late Last Night" and "Side Show Blues." 1998's Viva Satellite contributes "Can't Complain," "Guaranteed" and "Doublewide Blues." Snider has since issued four albums on Prine's indie Oh Boy Records, including 2004's East Nashville Skyline, and he continues to tour across the country.Customer Reviews:
He's an Allright Guy.......2007-02-02
Todd Snider - That Was Me.......2006-08-24
For the most part, these are good roots-y Americana folk/country songs for the modern times. He's hilarious as far as writers go. If he were an author, he'd be one of those quirky guys who have a cult following. I enjoyed most of the songs on here a lot. There were only one or two which I didn't care for - and that's pretty good at 18 songs.
If you like cool, unique, weird, talented singer/songwriters, Todd Snider's the guy for you. This is a good introduction to some of his earlier stuff. I would definitely recommend picking up his more recent stuff too.
Just a clarification..........2006-04-06

Good Summary Of Old Stuff But Should Have More New Stuff For Long Time Fans.......2005-10-19
I'm only disappointed because the above cover version is the only new thing for the fans who have all of his CDs. I'm sure there had to be some more unreleased material out there that could have been added as Todd is known for his cover versions in his live shows. Even if it meant removing a studio track or two, I think you could have a perfect mix of introducing newbies while satisfying the "oldbies".
Another nit is that the liner notes are extremely hard to read that I actually scanned a few of the pages to blow them up to read (no joke). But all-in-all, it is a decent purchase to make.

This Is Just Really Great Music.......2007-03-30
1. Gwen Stefani-Hollaback Girl: This is an okay hook, but that "bananas"
part is weird and the bleeping gets annoying. It was overplayed. B-
2. Will Smith-Switch: Nice to see Will make a comeback and this is the
perfect comeback single, with a terrific hook. A-
3. Amerie-1 Thing: The beat is the only thing that saves this otherwise
lackluster Amerie tune. C+
4. Ciara feat. Ludacris-Oh: This was overplayed, but Luda is awesome and
the hook is better than the one on "Goodies". B
5. Bobby Valentino-Slow Down: I'm not much for ballads, but this is an
okay song, pretty average at best. C
6. Eminem-Mockingbird: I like Eminem's slower songs and this is pretty good. The lyrics are very touching. A
7. Brooke Valentine-Girlfight: This was overplayed, but it has a good hook. Lil Jon is annoying, though. B
8. Destiny's Child-Girl: This is better than "Cater 2 U", but not
"Soldier". It's an okay song(for Destiny's Child). C
9. Shakira-La Tortura: Shakira's voice bothers me, but the beat is okay,
I guess. A little simplistic. So-so. B-
10. Baby Bash feat. Akon-Baby I'm Back: Some of this guy's other material
is alright, but this is just a smug, stupid song. C-
11. Frankie J-How To Deal: I don't like ballads and I hate this. F
12. John Legend-Ordinary People: This is an okay song, since it has
meaningful lyrics and the piano is good. B+
13. Anna Nalick-Breathe(2 AM): This is an okay song. That's all I can really say about it. B-
14. Keith Urban-Making Memories Of Us: I hate wuss country. F
15. Backstreet Boys-Incomplete: The beginning hinted at something better, but this just evolved into a sapfest. D
16. 3 Doors Down-Let Me Go: This is an okay rock song. A little whiney, but what 3 Doors Down song isn't? A-
17. Relient K-Be My Escape: A little bad, but I'll still give it a decent
rating. B
18. The Killers-Mr. Brightside: I really like this song a lot. It has a good new wave beat. A
19. Coldplay-Speed Of Sound: Okay, this was overplayed, but I still like it a lot because it's a good Coldplay song. A+
20. Gorillaz-Feel Good Inc.: Another of my favourites. This song is just plain addictive. A+
Overall, this is one of the better NOW entries and if you're going to invest your money into just one of these CDs, I would choose this.
Almost Perfect.......2006-12-26
Vol. 19.......2006-07-19
Highlights include Brooke Valentine's 'Girlfight' which takes the crown for best track here...love it and can't ever get enough of it. As with Amerie's '1 Thing' which is also a great track, probably her best. Dig Ciara's 'Oh' but could live without Eminem's 'Mockingbird'...he's lost a lot since '8 Mile'.
Destiny's Child suffer, or cause us to suffer, but Shakira shows us how it's done and gives us a great song here. Akon saves Baby Bash from serving up another crappy song, and yes, other than Akons vocals this song is crappy, but I like his voice so I'll listen to it. John Legend does brilliantly yet again with 'Ordinary People'. The piano is beautiful and the lyrics are so heartfelt and original...I love it.
I really like Anna Nalick's 'Breathe'...it's soft and calm and different so that's welcome. The Killers and Coldplay deliver good songs, Coldplay's isn't perfect but it's good. Gorillaz also deliver here, 'Feel Good Inc.' is a great song and serves as a perfect closing track for the album. All in all it's good, falters a bit but still a decent offering and a nice addition to your growing CD collection.

Amazon.com essential recording
At 14, child prodigy Alison Krauss signed to Rounder records, wooing critics and beguiling both bluegrass and country stalwarts with her nimble-fingered champion fiddling and inimitable otherworldly soprano. Though 1995's Now That I've Found You is credited as her mainstream breakthrough, 1990's I've Got That Old Feeling bridges her remarkable career into adulthood, capturing the public's interest in bluegrass. Barely past the threshold of womanhood, Krauss possesses musical agility far beyond her years, as well as the soft sweetness of the girlhood blush. The efficacy with which she and her band approach each song is marrow deep and tenderly precise, be it on the banjo rave-up "Will You Be Leaving" or the multi-string delay-beat of "Winter of a Broken Heart." Witness to the promise of a stellar future is the Floyd Cramer-esque piano-led "Tonight I'll Be Lonely Too," in which Krauss shines like the sun, her splendidly emotive tone and phrasing somewhat reminiscent of a young Dolly Parton. --Paige La GroneCustomer Reviews:
Best of the early years.......2006-07-12
So if you're already an AKUS fan, you can scoop this one up and enjoy every lick! And if not, this is as good a place as any to test the waters.
Bluegrass Queen Alison Krauss Reigns on this Recording.......2004-06-26
How many albums do you have that have perhaps a few good songs on it, but just as many songs that are just filler - instantly forgettable and barely listenable? This is a CD with NO filler. Every cut is a "keeper" and I could just listen to the whole thing back to back over and over again.
Alison Krauss is a national treasure, and this recording is one reason why.
Brilliant early album full of great songs.......2003-12-15
There are no really famous songs on this album, but the quality of all the songs is high. Sidney Cox (of the Cox family, a noted bluegrass group with which Alison recorded a gospel album) wrote four songs including the title track (a bright, upbeat song) and Tonight I'll be lonely too (an outstanding ballad). Other favorites of mine include Steel rails (a brilliant train song), Endless highway, Will you be leaving and One good reason, but there are so many great songs here and it may be that your favorite is one I haven't mentioned. The overall feel of the album is bright and upbeat.
If you are unfamiliar with Alison's early music, I recommend that you buy Now that I've found you - A collection, which I've already reviewed. That includes one track from each of her early albums, plus tracks not available on any of her other albums so far. If you have that collection and you are looking for more of Alison's early music, you will enjoy this.

Those who enjoy the adventurous eclecticism of traditional Top 40 radio should welcome this diverse, 20-track compilation of some of 2004's most memorable hits. Anchored by U2's energetic return to roots, "Vertigo" and Gwen Stefani's rock-of-the-80's-channeling solo breakthrough "What Are You Waiting For," it goes on to dish up everything from the teeny-pop angst of Lindsey Lohan's "Rumors" to the further adventures of Mr. Dizzle, Snoop Dogg himselfizzle (with an assist from Pharrell), on the typically laidback groove of "Drop It Like It's Hot" and the unlikely, country-urban fusing duet of Nelly and Tim McGraw on "Over and Over." The collection continues that contemporary R&B bent via hits like Omarion's "O," Ashanti's "Only U" and John Legend's "Used to Love U." Yet it also makes room for performances as disparate as Howie Day's emotive, adult-alternative standout "Collide," Hoobastank's slick Cali-pop, the modern rock of Chevelle and Three Days Grace and Lenny Kravitz chunky-rhythmed "Lady." Frickin' A serves up a faithful cover of Rick Springfield's "Jessie's Girl" that preserves the infectious schlock-charm of the 80's original, while the spunky pop-punk of Canadian Skye Sweetnam's "Tangled Up in Me" and Australian Keith Urban's '04 contempo-country standout "You're My Better Half" close the anthology out on a upbeat, international note. --Jerry McCulleyCustomer Reviews:

Vol. 18.......2006-07-19
Speaking of good club songs, um, let me just say that Ashanti kicks @$$ and her song 'Only U' is no exception, and serves as her best song yet. She blazes the comp, beating out Destiny's Child (although 'Soldier' is a great song) and Lindsay for best female vocal track.
Chingy is strong with 'Balla Baby' and Nelly and Tim McGraw are perfect together (I love anything Tim touches) but it's Snoop and Pharell who take the crown for best rap song period. 'Drop it like it's Hot' is brilliant and never gets old!
Omarion leaves B2K for better things, and 'O', even though it's total cliche, is actually really really good. The vibe, the beats and even his voice are all top notch here. Much better than Frankie J's weak 'Obsession'.
The rock selection is decent. Three Days Grace again make a lasting impression, but Chevelle takes the crown for best rock track here, for 'Vitamin R' is freakin' awesome! Skye Sweetnam delivers a nice track, and even though I'm not a huge fan of 'My Better Half' I still gave groove to it every once in a while. The best track though by far is John Legends 'Used to Love U' which is just brilliant in everyway. His voice is silky smooth and the lyrics are amazing. This is one of the better 'Now!' disc's and is sure to please.

Sara Evans's 1997 debut, Three Chords and the Truth, seemed, on first hearing, impossible. Here was a major-label Nashville album that, once again, faithfully captured the heartbreaking simplicity of classic country; here was a singer who could belt out with raw nerve and then slip low into deep smokiness. Evans's RCA follow-up is nearly as good, even as it leaves that hard country sound for a more radio-friendly, rocking edge. Billy Sherrill handles the recording, and though there's a luxurious quality to the layers of guitars and vocal harmonies, the standouts "Crying Game" and "Great Unknown" sound more like driving Americana rock than Top 40 country-pop. The real attraction, however, is Evans's fluid songwriting and expressive voice: whether she's singing beside George Jones, Vince Gill, or Alison Krauss, Evans's true, warm tone is, on the mainstream country scene, an emotional world apart. --Roy KastenCustomer Reviews:
Strong Sophmore.......2007-07-02
Great Unknown - uptempo tune about getting away with lover and throwing selves on fate
Crying Game - great tune, best on here
Fool I'm a Woman
Love Don't Be a Stranger - done by other singers, Sara's is best.
Cupid

Here's my rating on each song, on a scale of 1 to 10...
1. The Great Unknown - Great catchy tune. Really sets the mood for the rest of the album. 10/10
2. Cryin' Game - I know this was a single, but I'd never heard it til she sang it in concert. Definitely one of my favorite songs on the album. 10/10
3. No Place That Far - This was the first song I ever heard from Sara, and it still gets to me like it did then. 10/10
4. I Thought I'd See Your Face Again - This song reminds me of Patty Loveless. Could have been her song, but I'm glad Sara did it. 8/10
5. Fool, I'm A Woman - Love this song! Very clever and catchy. Can't go wrong with this one. 10/10
6. Time Won't Tell - A nice ballad. Not my favorite track, but it's a good one. 7/10
7. Knot Comes Untied - A bit rougher ballad. This one fits Sara better than the previous one. I like this one a lot. 9/10
9. These Days - Some nice harmonies on this one, but not the best song. Almost on the boring side, but not quite. 6/10
10. Cupid - Great fun, catchy song. I'm surprised I haven't heard this one before. 9/10
11. There's Only One - A country-gospel song. My least favorite on the album. Didn't do much for me, but not a bad song. 5/10
This is one of those albums I can let repeat after it's over because I'll definitely want to hear at least some of the tracks again. Can't wait to listen to some more Sara!
