Brooke White
 High Hopes & Heartbreak $9.49 This is a great CD. Good mix of upbeat and slow songs. Her songs have a kind of Jewel and Carly Simon feel to them.  Songs From the Attic $5.00 The funny thing is, I wasn't crazy about Brooke on American Idol. I liked her, but I didn't love her. However, I thought she had potential, so I downloaded a couple of the recommended songs on her High Hopes and Heartbreak album and I liked them so much, I bought the entire album. Even my husband, who doesn't think today's music can compare with his favorites from the 60s and 70s, started humming along when I played the CD in the car. Eventually I found myself preferring to listen to Brooke than a whole lot of other singers, so I came here and ordered this album. And am I happy I did. I think it's terrific. I love her cover of Dream On, but I also really like Come To My Rescue, In Love, and Change. Actually, there's not a title I don't like. And if anyone hasn't heard her duet with Michael Johns, Life Is Okay, you don't know what you're missing. Download it. You'll play it over and over.  Hold Back My Heart $14.98 I have had this CD for awhile, but I recently got a 64G Itouch and loaded all of my music (over 22G so far) and organized some cool playlists so I am listening to it more. I thought this album was just okay the first time through, Heart on my Sleeve is great and I liked "To Love Somebody" - nice cover of an old song. But the more I listen to it the more I like this collection. I have it in a playlist with David Cook, Daughtry, Constantine Maroulis and Kris Allen (Idol Albums) and this one really holds its own. I think it is worth getting if you like soulful/jazzy kinds tunes. He does have a soothing voice too. |
