Spirit
- by Jewel
- Jewel continues to display a knack for using cosmic ruminations to connect with other sensitive beings, With her dulcet voice and lulling refrains, Jewel makes the social and political ills of the world go down easy |
Songs From Sun Street
- A great, fun mix of rock, alternative, country and Irish traditional. The sound harkens back to the 60s at times. There's also a touch of humor and sentiment. It is an impressive amalgamation of the sights, sounds, and people of Galway and Mayo counties. |
The McGarrigle Hour
- It's a family affair. The harmonizing sisters gather round the old piano with kids (Rufus and Martha Wainwright), friends (Emmylou Harris and Linda Ronstadt), and even Kate's ex-hubby, Loudon Wainwright III. Kate and Anna have been performing together for decades, somehow managing to avoid pitfalls along the way |
Heart Of A Singer
- Hazel Dickens has one of those voices that grab you with the first note and never let go. Backed by a crack crew of acoustic players, the complementary trio split up lead-vocal duties, with Hawker stepping to the fore on five selections, while Dickens and Jones each take center stage on four numbers |
Hejira - by Joni Mitchell
- This is a sad record, as stark and as haunting as the cover art. Songs of love lost, of traveling, of living without a home to return to. The music is fabulous, featuring Joni's guitar (and Larry Carlton on some tracks) with Jaco Pastorius on bass in what was possibly his finest performance. |
Time Out Of Mind
- Bob Dylan is easily the most influential rock/folk star of this century and his music will never die. ..Dylan's songwriting is at once blissfully assured and gleefully uneven throughout....Dylan sounds lively, even playful--in no way is this album a downer. It sounds as if, at 56, he can't wait to be a full-fledged old codger... |
Old Friends (3 CDs] - by Simon & Garfunkel
-Through all the songs Simon & Garfunkel ever performed their true greatness is seen. Paul's acoustic guitar talent is amazing & is complemented by Art's beautiful voice. Includes every song they ever recorded +15 previously un- realeased gems. A must buy!! The book accompanying the disks is added bonus

Live (2 CDs) - by James Taylor
- Forget the laser light show, dancers, and other diversions, this is a man and his guitar surrounded by talented musicians and back-up vocalists. His material is thoughtful, winsome, and sometimes even a bit whimsical. James Taylor is truly one of America's greatest national treasures |
Around The Campfire (2 CDs) - Peter, Paul & Mary
- An excellant colection of the 60s magic, and a wonderful blend of sing-a-longs. This CD is nostalgic, euphoric, invigorating and reflective. I laughed, cried, and felt good after listening to this music |
