Tears, Lies and Alibis -- CD
Shelby Lynne
2010 Everso Records
Product Description
With Tears, Lies, and Alibis the follow-up to 2008's Just A Little Lovin' and the first release on her own label, Everso Records, Shelby Lynne affirms her position as a visionary, iconoclastic artist who deftly weaves country, soul, rock, blues, pop and folk influences to forge her own unique style. Like Identity Crisis (2003) and Suit Yourself (2005), this sparse, unguarded collection was produced by Lynne, who evokes a live-in-the-studio vibe from a stellar group of musicians.
Born in Quantico, VA, she grew up in Jackson, AL and headed to Nashville at an early age. At 18, Lynne s demos landed her an appearance on TNN s Nashville Now series, which led to a Top 50 duet ( "If I Could Bottle This Up" ) with George Jones and a record deal. Following the release of the critically acclaimed I Am Shelby Lynne in 2000, she won the GRAMMY® for Best New Artist. She made her acting debut in 2005, playing Johnny Cash's mother in the Fox Searchlight motion picture Walk the Line.

Marc Cohn -- CD
Marc Cohn
1991 Atlantic Records
Amazon.com
With rootsier, acoustic neofolk ascendant, Marc Cohn's 1991 debut harkens back to the more sophisticated rock and pop inflections of singer-songwriters of two decades past. His supple, velvety baritone and elegant piano-based arrangements frame shrewdly crafted songs ripe with pop touches, none more intricate or deftly executed than the set's epochal "Walking In Memphis," an epiphany rooted in rich musical history, studded with allusions to Elvis and Al Green, Beale Street and Graceland, and buoyed by a rippling piano motif and surging gospel choruses. Giving the set depth, as well as commercial legs, are of "Silver Thunderbird," infectious and intimate in its evocation of his father, husky meditations "Ghost Train" and "Dig Down Deep," a sexy update of Willie Dixon's "29 Ways" (the probable seed for Paul Simon's antithetical "50 Ways to Leave Your Lover"); and the fervent lover's anthem, "True Companion." --Sam Sutherland

I remember wearing this one out back in the 80's when it first came out...............going to have to listen to it over the weekend.
This mix was quite digital if I remember properly, oh yeah, what does "quite digital" mean anyway.................... :angry-tappingfoot:
It's my favorite Rush album, partially because it was my first Rush album, and partially because it was so "digital".heeman said:Botch said:

Which I would define as "synth heavy" and "processed" (lots of reverb, echo, delay, etc). Leifsen hates this album, as any guitarist in a power trio would.
bscene-birdiedoublered: Dennie, which sounds better? black Aja or red Aja? I have Aja in 8-track, cassette, black, wifi and silver. I prefer silver, but 5.1 is on my bucket list. Mr. Wilson, would you, please?
