131.Seven for Old England by: Maddy Prior June 23, 2008

I am a great admirer of Maddy prior, not least because to me she represents the true voice of English Folk Music and is not afraid to champion the 'English' song in this day and age of so called correctness. English Folk Music is amongst the best music in the world and this CD is no exception. There are some great melodies here both sung and played so well that it is a joy to listen to. I cannot imagine a world without Maddy's music - with or without Steeleye Span and the Carnival band that she sings with. To me the real gem of this collection is 'Magpie', her own composition which was shelved for over forty years until now and never fails to send a shiver down my spine and a tear to my eye whenever I play it. So I would advise anyone to buy ... Read More:

132.Must I Paint You a Picture - The Essential Billy Bragg by: Billy Bragg October 06, 2003
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £9.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £4.98 You Save: £5.01 (50%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £3.65
When I saw Billy Bragg on tour recently he described himself as a 'Marmite artist', ie, you either love him or hate him. I don't know that is necessarily true. My husband somewhat reluctantly bought this for me for Christmas a few years ago after I'd requested it on the strength of the handful of Bragg songs that I knew from my teens (Sexuality, New England, Waiting for the Great Leap Forward). Neither myself or my hubby really knew enough about BB from those few songs to understand what an amazing artist he really is. I reckon that there are a few people out there who are in that same position and this review, like the album, is for you. This is a great place to start on your Bragg conversion because it will give you a taste of the diversity ... Read More:

133.Zuma by: Neil Young With Crazy Horse June 28, 1993
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £7.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £4.97 You Save: £3.02 (38%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £3.54
I bought this album when it came out, on vinyl. Neil Young had been only partly known to me - i tended to think "acoustic" and "folky", which were not the kind of words i was into at that age. John Peel said that "nothing before had prepared him for the magnificence of Zuma" or words to that effect. As a keen JP listener and admirer, i thought I'd give it a go. Fabulous! It was as rock-y and discordant in places as you could wish. The guitaring was a revelation. Great songs, love-it-or-hate-it voice/singing - which i did love. The acoustic numbers and gentler tracks were great songs too, and perfect to sing when you were having a drink with your mates. "I've been looking for a lover, but I haven't met her yet - she'll be nothing like i picture her to ... Read More:

134.Greatest Hits by: Shania Twain November 08, 2004

I consider myself a music fan, and I have wide and varied tastes. One look through P.Jones reviews will bear out that unless you like his/her particular brand of music you are not considered a music fan. Total nonsense. Music, like beauty, is in the "ear" of the beholder: Shame on you for being so closed-minded. I have several Shania Twain albums and a couple of DVDs and I'm not ashamed to say I've been to see her twice, and ALL of my encounters with her and her music have been uplifting. If you like up-beat, fun music - some with a deeper story to tell - you will enjoy this album. If you like Shania's silky, effortless voice, you will enjoy this album. And thats a promise.

135.I Believe - Very Best Of The Bachelors by: The Bachelors July 21, 2008
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £16.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £8.98 You Save: £8.01 (47%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £3.64
I've always loved the Bachelors and grew up listening to their music, dad was always playing them...of course I had a crush on them, after all they were two great looking blokes from Ireland with superb voices. It's a great CD with all my favourite songs and makes for wonderful lazy Sunday morning listening. Just to sing along with none of the hissing and static that used to go with vinal records is a bonus as well. If you are a fan of the Bachelors then buy this CD I can promise you won't be disappointed. Just listening to Marta...wonderful,hmmmm!!, happy memories.

137.Sandy (Remastered) by: Sandy Denny May 02, 2005
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £5.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £3.97 You Save: £2.02 (34%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £2.90
Listening to Sandy Denny's voice makes you realise how much the music industry short-changes us these days. Sublime and unaffected, young yet embedded with wisdom, it sweeps you away like none of today's wannabes ever will. 'Sandy' also benefits from first class arrangements, production and musicianship, with Richard Thompson and Dave Swarbrick adding valuable guitar and violin respectively. Sneaky Pete contributes some of his best pedal steel playing too, lending a country tinge to some of the tracks. By and large, this is folk at the edge of rock. 'It'll Take A Long Time' is an expansive, epic opening, while Denny's take on 'Tomorrow Is A Long Time' is one of the best Dylan covers you'll hear. There are many breathtaking passages, such as the ... Read More:

138.Bridge Over Troubled Water by: Simon & Garfunkel August 20, 2001
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £9.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £4.98 You Save: £5.01 (50%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £2.48
Bought this recently and it takes me right back to the early 70's when it was a 'must buy' album. It's been on my 'must get the CD' list for some time and on listening to it for the first time in almost 40 years, I'm still moved and amazed by it. As others have rightly said, it's a classic album, so there is no way I'm going to individually review each track - suffice to say that each is a gem in it's own right. On S and G, it's hard to describe just how unique Art Garfunkels voice is or how poignant Paul Simon's lyrics are, just play it, sing along and let your mind go back to those heady days!

139.Trains and Winter Rains by: Enya November 10, 2008
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £4.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £1.98 You Save: £3.01 (60%) Prices subject to change. Used Price:
Like a slow moving force of nature, the world slowly turns and brings about another Enya album. One that is destined to sell millions, yet be admitted to by no-one. This advance single from the forthcoming "And Winter Came" album got its exclusive first play on the Terry Wogan radio show, which pretty much sums up its appeal. It's one of those songs that you don't really notice playing, despite the odd declamation that Enya seems to be making amid some curious vocal patterns. And as if the title wasn't calculating enough at this time of year, they even sneak in the refrain from Agnus Dei. Crafty Christians! With sixty million or so sales under her shawl, this will be an essential purchase for the many, many people who worship at her altar. ... Read More:

Con este album, parte del sondtrack de la pelicula del mismo nombre, los 4 genios de Liverpool nos dan una ultima muestra de su talento como compositores de lindas pero simples melodias "pop"; luego vendria su tremenda evolucion y complicacion musical, a partir de RUBBER SOUL, su siguiente album; pero al analizar cada cancion, siempre se encuentran esos destellos de gran talento de los fab-four; desde el impresionante HELP!, las lindas baladas I NEED YOU (de George), YOU'RE GONNA LOSE THAT GIRL (buenas armonias),IT'S ONLY LOVE y la monumental YESTERDAY (que gran cancion); pasando por grandes rocks como TICKET TO RIDE y I'VE JUST SEEN A FACE, muy buenos covers como DIZZY MISS LIZZIE,y algo de country con ACT NATURALLY, este es un disco que cierra muy acertadamente la epoca ...
