Before they were cancelled by the good folks who love to complain about cancelling…The (then) Dixie Chicks replaced lead singer Laura Lynch with Natalie Maines and hit paydirt with their fourth album, Wide Open Spaces. The talent of instrumentalists (and backup singers) Emily Strayler and Martie Seidel had never been in question, but it was the addition of Maines that made the difference. With a powerful and perfect country voice in the fold, The Chicks were suddenly a force to be reckoned with. This rollicking set of songs is mostly well chosen, and without exception well played and sung. The Chicks became stars here, and they became one hell of a fun group to listen to. And Natalie Maines became the star of the show without it going to her head.
Wide Open Spaces boasts five hit singles, and a whole lot more. “I Can Love You Better”, “Wide Open Spaces” and “There’s Your Trouble” are all great, but don’t sleep on the rest here. Particularly the last three songs, none of which were hits, but which were written by the likes of J.D. Souther, Maria McKee and Bonnie Raitt. Raitt's closing track, “Give It Up Or Let Me Go” finds the group, but especially Maines, cutting as loose as one can cut, and it’s a perfect way to end the album. They serve notice that the Chicks were setting course for a voyage of hits and great albums, and they did not disappoint. This is where the momentum started, where the Chicks found their footing, and where they finally found their leading voice. A great and fun album. [First added to this chart: 03/26/2025]

The collaboration between Shania Twain and Robert John “Mutt” Lange reached its peak in 1997 with the album Come On Over. Her third album wasn’t just a hit…it destroyed like very few albums in history ever had. Coming off of the huge success of The Woman In Me, no one expected this much more in the way of sales. 40 million worldwide. Twelve of the sixteen tracks were released as singles, with eight in the top ten. Three went to number one. Just in America. Twain and Lange had found a formula, alright. And it was, at least for a few years, a winner. But more than that. This is the album where the line was crossed into the dark world of pop country. And unfortunately, Nashville has never been the same since. So there’s that.
Come On Over has some great moments. “When” and “From This Moment On” are more country than pop, and are great. But those aren’t the songs that made this a smash. “Man! I Feel Like A Woman!”, “That Don’t Impress Me Much”, and the awful “Don’t Be Stupid (You Know I Love You)” formed the unholy trilogy of pop country excess. Fiddles and twangy guitars can’t hide the fact that this record is less country than pop, the keyboards are awful and out of place, and Twain’s trademark “whoo” is more than tired by this time. But none of that matters. Because Come On Over made Twain a massive star, it made pop country a thing that is chased to this day, and it defined Twain as less of a country artist and more of a pop star. All of which is too bad, because the majority of this album is not bad. Not great, but not as terrible as its legacy suggests. [First added to this chart: 03/31/2025]
Produced By OASIS & MARK COYLE
1. Rock ‘N’ Roll Star
2. Shakermaker
3. Live Forever
4. Up In The Sky
5. Columbia
6. Supersonic
7. Bring It On Down
8. Cigarettes & Alcohol
9. Digsy’s Diner
10. Slide Away
11. Married With Children
Hard to believe that it’s been 20 years since Oasis became the biggest band in Britain, and one of the biggest bands in the world. On the strength of three advance singles, “Supersonic”, “Shakermaker” and “Live Forever”, their debut album Definitely Maybe was released to the largest hoopla in England since the Beatles, coming straight out of the gates at number one. It’s not thet Oasis was really THAT great, but that they came along at a time when the British music scene needed a shot in the arm…and Oasis (along with bands like Blur) delivered. The ride for Oasis was incredible, short, and very rocky, but over their first two albums, they were at the top of their craft. Guitarist Noel Gallagher wrote the songs, which were sung and sneered by his brother Liam, and the formula created a storm of hits.
The three advance singles are excellent, particularly “Live Forever”. “Cigarettes & Alcohol” and “Rock ‘N’ Roll Star” are also great singles, but the album as a whole is very good. The only drawback is that the band didn’t really have much in the way of original ideas…you can hear bits of many popular songs on the album. But they knew how to make the recycled riffs work, and work very well. Definitely Maybe could be seen as a near perfect storm (the follow up, (What’s The Story) Morning Glory is somehow even better), a band on the verge of total greatness before the excesses of rock & roll took over and ruined them. But in the mid 90’s, there was no one like Oasis, and their first two albums are among the most exciting works of the decade. Definitely a moment to not be missed from the 90’s.

Produced By TIM PALMER
1. Celebrate
2. Grey Matter
3. Blue
4. Lace Virginia
5. Julian
6. All I Am
7. Change
8. Colours
9. That Demon Jive
10. Brick It Up
11. Move On
This is the debut album from Ireland’s An Emotional Fish, an unfortunately named and underappreciated band. The Fish were signed for this album to U2’s label and had some success with the singles “Grey Matter” and especially “Celebrate”, where they cracked the US college radio charts. The album sold poorly everywhere except for Ireland, and after 3 albums, they were to be found only in their native country.
Too bad. This album is loaded with great sounding songs, and a real gem: bass player Enda Wyatt. Wyatts playing is absolutely superb, and his bass lines carry each song. The band is instrumentally and vocally solid…but that bass is perfect. This is a lost should have been classic of the mid 90’s. Pick it up if you can find it. Bad name, fuzzy picture. Most likely has a hole in the artwork from being discounted. A fine album by a fine band. [First added to this chart: 12/30/2024]

A lot of hard work happens in the background to keep BEA running, and it's especially difficult to do this when we can't pay our hosting fees :(
