This review is from: Memories (Audio CD)
Barbra Streisand has remained one of my favorite artists. I continuously listen to her music.
Each recording has their own merits. At almost 70 years of age, she continues to inspire us
not only with her voice, but her outstanding contributions.
1. Memories
2. You Don't Bring Me Flowers
3. My Heart Belongs To Me
4. New York State Of Mind
5. No More Tears (Enough Is Enough)
6. Comin' In And Out Of Your Life
7. Evergreen
8. Lost Inside Of You
9. The Love Inside
10. The Way We Were

Thanks to heeman, I'm listening to this one now, almost through the 2-cd set for the first time. Ok I'm not the hugest Satriani fan in the universe; he's amazing technically, I just don't always think the music he plays is particularly interesting. However this set has got a lot of good stuff on it! Some tracks that have stood out to me so far are Friends, Time Machine, and Mind Storm.

From East Memphis To Kingston - Soul Revisited... -- CD
Various Artists
1999 Ugly Man International (Promo Use Only Stamp on Cover)
Fresh take on Memphis sound, June 17, 2000
By Tim Alderton (Red Lake, Ontario, Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: From East Memphis to Kingston (Audio CD)
With the Memphis sound entering its fifth decade, this cover by various reggae artists brings freshness and verve to a genre that refuses to fade. Jack Radics/Red Dragon version of Soul Man rekindles the energy of Sam and Dave's original and Third World's cover of Respect demands just that. Perfect choice to accompany a summer barbeque - pass the hot sauce.
1. Knock On Wood - Spanner Banner & Scotty
2. Respect Yourself - Third World
3. I Don't Want To Be With Nobody But You - Ericia Newell
4. Tired Of Being Alone - Toots & The Maytals
5. Soul Man - Jack Radics & Red Dragon
6. I Betcha Didn't Know That - Chaka Demus & Pliers
7. I've Been Lonely For So Long - Stingers
8. I Can't Stand The Rain - Brian & Tony Gold
9. Shelter In Time Of Storm - Richie Stephens
10. Take Me To The River - Tyrone Taylor
11. Hold On I'm Coming - Chalice
12. You Got Me Hummin' - Freddy McGregor
13. Let's Stay Together - Junior Tucker
14. Dock Of The Bay (Instrumental) - Bobby Keys
Now for a switch of pace from Satriani... Sweet's got a very nice voice, and quite a range! At first I thought she was just another pop singer, but as I continue listening to this album, there's some interesting stuff on here. :music-listening:
Dane, if you're reading this, you might want to check her out - I know you've got a thing for female vocalists.

Supply and Demand -- CD
Amos Lee
2006 Blue Note Records
Amazon.com
Born to be mild? Amos Lee's sophomore effort for Blue Note follows firmly in the gentle guitar strums of his well-received 2005 debut and opening slots for Norah Jones and Bob Dylan. Little has changed the second time around, which will come as a relief to those enthralled by his first release. He remains a sensitive sort, mixing his insightful, reflective lyrics with lovely, unforced melodies played by backing musicians that stay on low boil. These tunes go down as smoothly as hot chocolate on a cold day, yet Lee brings an unassuming sincerity to the proceedings with his cozy, amiable voice. Comparisons to Bill Withers and James Taylor are accurate if inevitable, but when the gospel organ quivers into "Skipping Stone," it's clear Lee isn't stuck in a folk-pop rut.
Lee's approach is similar to the way Keb' Mo' treats the blues--he injects his cushy personality into an established genre, writes good if somewhat casual songs, and doesn't push the envelope too far. The final third of the album is perhaps too mellow, and a few midtempo tracks could have perked things up. But adult-contemporary fans looking for dependable Sunday morning music will welcome Supply and Demand as a quality follow-up brimming with subtle soul, style, and sophistication. --Hal Horowitz

History - America's Greatest Hits -- CD
America
1975/1990 Warner Bros. Records
Amazon.com
This is about as treacly as pop can get, yet something about it endears and endures. Forget the Neil Youngish banality of "Horse with No Name." The best America songs feature a delicate yet intricate interplay of acoustic guitars that creates a tableau for sweeter-than-sweet vocalese. Just try not to sing along to "Ventura Highway" or "Sister Golden Hair." Try not to be suckered into sentimental reminiscence when listening to "I Need You" or the superb "Daisy Jane." And if your heart hardens when listening to the low-key lope of the "Muskrat Love," you must be cold-blooded. --Tod Nelson
