Couldn't Stand The Weather»rank: 4381par: Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Trouble
Chroniques et points de vue::ln a brief interview that precedes this CD's four bonus tracks--all unreleased gems from the original 1984 sessions--Stevie Ray Vaughan makes the point that 'music used to be more based on common everyday occurrences like a train's sound going down the track ... a horse walking.' Then he comes on with a version of Freddie King's 'Hideaway' that chugs like a locomotive. There's also a heretofore unheard slide-guitar-powered 'Give Me Back My Wig' and a blueprint of ... |

The Confessions Tour 2006 (CD/DVD Combo)»rank: 702par: Madonna
Chroniques et points de vue: :The world can't get enough of Madonna, and with CD/DVD sets like The Confessions Tour dropping regularly, it's little wonder why. As a thrower of fantasy dance parties, she is peerless. As a physical role model for the 40-ish women who grew up on her music, she rules. And as an arbiter of what's going to sound shockingly original in any given decade--well, duh. The Confessions Tour rounds up songs from way back--'Ray of Light' and 'La ... |

Physical Graffiti (2CD)»rank: 3508par: Led Zeppelin
Chroniques et points de vue:From Amazon.co.uk:This 1975 release came smack in the middle of a long and nearly mythic career. Physical Graffiti is the last great Led Zeppelin title, recorded before the influences of the day (synthesizers, disco) ended Zeppelin's reign as the kings of loud and sexy blues-metal. Playfully experimenting with new sounds, the band blended Middle Eastern rhythms, folk-stylings, heavy blues, and deeply impassioned rock riffs into a two-disc set that sounded as if they were still enjoying their ... |

The Essential Bob Dylan (Rm) (2CD)»rank: 1491par: Bob Dylan
Chroniques et points de vue:From :Two discs of music don't exactly provide for a thorough overview of four decades of recording, particularly if the subject of the retrospective is one of the most important and prolific performers of his time. So The Essential Bob Dylan definitely skates over the leagues-deep oeuvre of Dylan, summarizing his monumental first half-dozen years in disc one and skirting over the following 34 years in disc two. Delving into Columbia's three Dylan greatest-hits packages (though curiously ... |

Taking The Long Way»rank: 2394par: Dixie Chicks
Chroniques et points de vue:From :Nothing changes folks like babies and war, and since the release of their last album, 2002's Home, the Dixie Chicks have been forever altered by both. lf that album showcased the trio as precocious young adults, Taking the Long Way finds them sobered and matured, and in a grown-up state of mind. Produced by the celebrated Rick Rubin (Johnny Cash, Red Hot Chili Peppers), who saw the Chicks as 'a great rock act making a country ... |

Greatest Hits»rank: 2674par: James Taylor
Chroniques et points de vue:From :James Taylor's mid-'70s departure from Warner Bros. may be one of the best things that ever happened to the label; otherwise, it might not have been in such a rush to compile his Greatest Hits, one of the company's biggest sellers ever at 11 million and counting. Taylor's style, which all but defines the word diffident, has more backbone than it's often given credit for. Here, as surprisingly complex songs like 'Carolina in My Mind' (in ... |

We Were Born In A Flame»rank: 2299par: Sam Roberts
Chroniques et points de vue:Amazon.ca Canadian Essential:Riding an early-century surge in Canadian singer/songwriter talent, Sam Roberts' second LP struck a chord all across North America with his mellow hooks and laid-back melodies. We Were Born ln a Flame succeeds not because of its toe- tapping feel, but rather because below it's Beatle-esque sheen is a lovely, hand-crafted piece of art. -- S. Duda From :A Montreal native and former hockey player, Sam Roberts gave up dreams of becoming a star Canadien ... |
