![]() Very Best of Naxos Early Music $0.00 This is definitely an album worth listening to. It has a good combination of scared and secular music. The chants are very soothing, which is perfect for when I'm reading. ![]() Free Fallin' (Live at the Nokia Theatre) $0.99 The encore for his acoustic session on his amazing latest live album is a cover of the lyrical Tom Petty classic of "Free Fallin'," and even though the original didn't exactly thrill me, John Mayer has a habit of winning you over with his guitar and his ability to make any song and any good lover's point classic. This one is no different, even though it's a bit long. It still has heart, and it's still Mayer all the way. It is also a disconcerting tune as I write this while flying at 20'000 feet. I'm just saying. ![]() Strange Overtones $0.00 You could sneak this in the middle of a "David Byrne" playist, and you would never realize that it wasn't the Talking Heads. I find myself listening to this song and liking it when it plays, yet I don't find myself seeking it out. The rhythm and percussion are quite enjoyable; however, the repetitive melody gets tedious. ![]() Alive Records 2009 Sampler $0.00 Just on a first spin basis, this sampler has allot of good energy. Its got a gritty blues rock garage feel to it. quite a variety on this collection. Brimstone Howl reminds me of a Rockabilly Ramones outfit, The Nerves are a fresh throw back to 1960's rock and roll, kind of like The Beatles or The Monkies. Thomas Function reminds me a little of the pixies with a more catchy rock and roll rhythm. Left Lane Cruiser is another cool rocking dirty blues band. I would liken it to a White Stripes/Canned Heat/Eagles of Death Metal -ESK take on the blues, a foot stompin, Slide picking, cowbell rockin, driving Blues, awesome track. Black Diamond Heavies is along the same lines as Left Lane Cruiser, A great hard rock take on the blues. they fire up the grit on all cylinders. I honestly wasn't too big on the first three tracks, but every track after that are OUTSTANDING works that Deserve a spin. Its a Free Download... GET IT ALREADY!!!!! |
