18 Greatest
Title: 18 Greatest
Artist: Glenn Miller
Label: Direct Source
Release Date: 8/8/2006
Date: 7/19/2009

Wonderful compilation of Glenn Miller Hits. This music reminds me of all the older film with the dancing and fancy clothes - the ones with the likes of Fred Astaire & Ginger Rogers. Simply enjoyable listening.

All for You [Original Version]
Title: All for You [Original Version]
Artist: Janet Jackson
Label: Virgin
Release Date: 4/24/2001
Date: 12/31/2006

All For You is my favorite track on this cd. Someone To Call My Lover is also a good song. The duet with Carly Simon - Son Of A Gun - is interesting to say the least for those of you familiar with Carly's Your So Vain, you'll just have to listen to the song to find out...

Become You
Title: Become You
Artist: Indigo Girls
Label: Epic , Sony Music Distribution, Sbme Special Mkts.
Release Date: 3/12/2002
Date: 12/31/2006

Definitely one of my favorite cd's. I don't think that there is really any tracks on this one that I don't like - Collecting You being my favorite. A definite must if you like folksy/rock music.

Review Date: 12/31/2006

This cd is filled with wonderful harmonies, truly inspirational. I truly enjoyed listening to this music.

Bridging the Gap
Title: Bridging the Gap
Artist: Black Eyed Peas
Label: Interscope Records, A&M Records
Release Date: 9/2000
Date: 9/25/2009

Not a bad cd if you like the Black Eyed Peas - though none of the tracks stood out for me as ones I would listen to over and over.

Artist: Various Artists
Label: Narada

I just listened to this cd and it's wonderful Christmas music. Easy on the ears and good for the soul kind of Christmas music. A definite keeper for my Christmas collection.

Circuladô
Title: Circuladô
Artist: Caetano Veloso
Label: Elektra/Nonesuch, Polygram, Universal Distribution
Release Date: 1991
Date: 5/12/2009

This is one of those cd's that I though might sound interesting and it does, but it's just not quite the kind of music that either I find interesting or fall in love with. Still was enjoyable to listen to just to try something new. Besides the artwork is quirky & eccentric.

Damita Jo
Title: Damita Jo
Artist: Janet
Label: Virgin
Release Date: 3/30/2004
Date: 1/13/2007

Not my most favorite of Janet's stuff. But the photos of her are about worth the price of admission! ;-) If you want sexy music, then this is the cd for you.

The Dance
Title: The Dance
Artist: Fleetwood Mac
Label: Reprise, Warner Bros.
Release Date: 8/19/1997

Most of your favorite Fleetwood Mac songs. Especially fun is Don't Stop, complete with a marching band as a backup band. Enjoy :-)

Day Parts: Sunday Morning Coffee
Title: Day Parts: Sunday Morning Coffee
Artist: Chip Davis' Day Parts
Label: American Gramaphone Records
Release Date: 1992
Date: 9/22/2007

Calming & soothing music. I like listening to this on a quiet Sunday morning (hmmm, just like the title...), sipping a cup of coffee & reading a good book. A definite keeper. :-)

Essential Lounge: Brazil
Title: Essential Lounge: Brazil
Artist: Various Artists
Label: UBL Recordings
Release Date: 2/21/2006
Date: 10/25/2006

A very nice selection of easy listening Brazilian 'lounge' music. I enjoyed this album very much! :-)

Review Date: 10/25/2006

I'm not totally in love with the whole cd, but I'm giving it 4 stars for just 2 songs. More Than Words & Hole Hearted are so worth listening to - the guitar work & harmonies work so well on both of these songs. :-)

Title: Greatest Mixes: The Best of The Thompson Twins
Artist: Thompson Twins
Label: Arista

I like the Thompson Twins music a lot. If you like dance mixes & the Thompson Twins music, I think you'll like this cd. Enjoy! :-)

Holiday Songs and Lullabies
Title: Holiday Songs and Lullabies
Artist: Shawn Colvin
Label: Columbia, Sony Music Distribution
Release Date: 10/27/1998
Date: 9/28/2007

Not one of my favorites of hers. But if you like slow holiday music with a folksy sound, then you will like this one by Shawn Colvin. :-)

Her voice reminds me of a young Amy Grant, which of course is not necessarily a 'bad' thing. ;-) A very sweet album. I think this might be placed under christian music, but not all the songs are overtly 'christian'. Definitely falls under the category of 'easy on the ears' music. I enjoyed listening to this music.

Title: I Hope You Dance
Artist: Lee Ann Womack
Label: MCA Nashville

Title: Linus & Lucy: The Music of Vince Guaraldi
Artist: George Winston
Label: Windham Hill, Psp
Release Date: 9/17/1996
Date: 1/1/2007

Like Snoopy, Charlie Brown and the gang? Do you especially like the music in their tv specials? Then you will definitely like this cd. George Winston goes with us down memory lane with us and makes us smile. Great piano work & fond memories, what could be better on a rainy afternoon? Enjoy! :-)

New Age Christmas [Premium Music]
Title: New Age Christmas [Premium Music]
Artist: Various Artists
Label: Premium Latin Music
Release Date: 9/1/1998
Date: 12/31/2007

This cd is more on the quiet side of New Age. The music is lovely with a church organ type sound to it, very gentle on the ears and would make for nice background Christmas music.

Title: Now, Vol. 3
Artist: Various Artists
Label: Universal Distribution

Not a bad cd. Best song in my opinion, is her duet with Don Henley, Sometimes Love Just Ain't Enough (track 4).
Enjoy :-)

Pearls
Title: Pearls
Artist: David Sanborn
Label: Elektra
Release Date: 3/28/1995
Date: 1/2/2007

Wonderfully mellow music. I really have enjoyed how David Sanborn plays the sax on this cd. He also does a few old classics and does them well, in my opinion. Light the fireplace and candles and pop this cd in the player. ;-)
Enjoy!

Title: Ricky Skaggs & Bruce Hornsby
Artist: Ricky Skaggs & Bruce Hornsby
Label: Legacy
Release Date: 3/20/2007
Date: 5/12/2009

Not a bad cd - I'm a big fan of Bruce Hornsby and they did nice versions of Mandolin Rain & A Night On The Town. But what the heck were they thinking when they decided to do a remake of Super Freak??? Not a good choice AT ALL.

Title: River of Dreams [1998 Enhanced]
Artist: Billy Joel
Label: Sony Music Distribution
Release Date: 8/10/1993
Date: 12/29/2006

I enjoyed this cd. My favorite song is 'The River of Dreams'. Two Thousand Years, Famous Last Words, All About Soul & Lullabye are definitely worth listening to. :-)

If you are a Loggins and/or Messina fan, this is a good cd to listen to. Easy on the ears, good harmonies. Danny's Song is a very familiar song. Think a rainy day, curled up with this cd playing.

Solitudes: The Classics
Title: Solitudes: The Classics
Artist: Dan Gibson
Label: CDG Records
Release Date: 1991
Date: 12/30/2006

A very soothing cd, combining classical music with sounds of nature. If you need to get away from it all, put on your headphones, close your eyes & sit back and relax. :-)

Song of Amazonia
Title: Song of Amazonia
Artist: Scott Fitzgerald
Label: World Disc Music
Release Date: 1994
Date: 7/19/2009

The review that is on this page pretty much sums it up. This is a very nice cd to listen to - I listened to it while working on the computer - not distracting at all. I found it to be relaxing and enchanting music.

Soul's Core
Title: Soul's Core
Artist: Shawn Mullins
Label: Columbia, SMG, Sbme Special Mkts.
Release Date: 7/7/1998
Date: 8/12/2007

I find that I like listening to this cd while I'm working on the computer - it makes for nice background music. Shawn's voice is easy on the ears. He's best know for Lullaby (song 2). He has a story telling way with his music. There's not any one song that really jumps out at me, but all in all this is nice-to-listen-to cd.

The Way It Is
Title: The Way It Is
Artist: Bruce Hornsby & the Range
Label: RCA Records, BMG, Victor Records
Release Date: 4/1986
Date: 1/1/2007

This is one of my all time favorite cd's. Bruce Hornsby plays the piano & tell a story in song like no one else I know. This is great road trip music. (We have 2 copies of this cd...which is why one is being listed.)

She sings each & every song beautifully. But I'm done being 'inspired' now ;-) so time for this cd to find a new home to create some new inspiration. :-)
