Raising Sand
 Raising Sand $18.98 Raising Sand is the brilliance when two extraordinary talents meet at a crossroad. Plant and Krauss intertwine their styles and voices from tempered rock to earthy bluegrass providing a musical serendipity. The talent rises to the top with Raising Sand. It may take a few listens for it to grow on you but gaurantee the melodies and lyrics are sure to linger.  Kill to Get Crimson $18.98 Let everybody tell you the details of Mark Knopfler's style. I'm new to him, this being only my second CD of his, first being "Get Lucky." That became my bedtime lullabye album and I needed this one to keep from wearing the first out. This is just as good, getting me into that late-night mood. So, I know many folks look at the intricacies of the perfomance; in this case, I just appreciate the effect it has on me. Isn't this a purpose of music? The guy is just darn pleasant to listen to. By the way, let me note that I got this from Innuendo at a good price, in top (new) condition and shipping almost as quick as Prime.  A Hundred Miles or More: A Collection $17.98 My mom bought this cd early this summer and it has become a permanent installment in our kitchen cd player. What a beautiful cd from Alison Krauss! She does duets with James Taylor (another of my fav artists), Brad Paisley, and John Waite and does them beautifully. The song "Jacob's Dream" is a hauntingly beautiful and sad song about two boys lost in the mountains; based on a true story. "Whiskey Lullaby" is the duet with Paisley...what a sad song! The incdredible guitar skills coupled with Alison Krauss' beautiful voice makes for an incredible song that sends chills down my spine every single time I hear it. "Missing You" is a fun, upbeat song Krauss did with John Waite. It comes to the top as one of my favorites. My recommendation? Buy this cd! It is so totally worth it! |
