"She softly storms in with "things that scare me". When she sings "the world is gonna pay", you believe her. With your attention, her voice carries you to the "valley of the shadow" where deep red bells "ring this tragic gun". I hear emmylou in her voice.

"Traffic was one of the greatest band to come out of Britain in the late 1960's. By the time the band recorded their second album, the original line-up was together again after of short period as a 3-piece band. Guitarist and songwriter Dave Mason had more or less walked in and out of the band. Af..."  [+]  Reply

You can find Mark Knopfler (Dire Straits) solo guitars like in Sweetheart like you, Dylan's voice as strong as ever on Jokerman and other good songs like I an I or closing ballad Don't fall apart on me tonight. If y..."  [+]  Reply

"A beautiful album centred around unrequited love. k d Lang moves away from her country style and delivers an album full of melancholy and self retribution. Best tracks, Save Me, Mind Of Love, Constant Craving, Season of Hollow Soul and Miss Chatelaine. (First added to chart: 14/06/2012)"  Reply

"As somebody from Tallahassee, this album is far better than this town deserves. I guess that's the point of such a terrible couple moving here to drink themselves to death."  Reply

It's considered as THE first ska-punk record and I believe it will go down in history as one of the greatest album of the genre. But even if you're not a huge fan of that type of music, you can still enjoy the energy ..."  [+]  Reply
