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.

Title: All for You
Artist: Janet Jackson
Label: Virgin Records Us
Original Release Date: 1/1/2001
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...

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.

Review Date: 6/8/2007

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! :-)

Review Date: 2/18/2007

Another great cd from Sting. Favorite song is Desert Rose. A Thousand Years is another well done song as is A Brand New Day. Enjoy! :-)

Review Date: 1/2/2007

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.

Title: Circulado
Artist: Caetano Veloso
Label: Nonesuch
Original Release Date: 5/5/1992
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.

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.

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

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.

Review Date: 5/21/2007

Best song on the cd, I Hope You Dance. It's a nicely done cd & I hope that you enjoy it also.

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! :-)

Put aside that this cd was created to fund MADD (Mothers Against Drunk Driving) which I have nothing against as many national non-profits sell cd's to make money. Overall, I'm not in love with this compilation, there are a couple of songs that I have knew from before, but mostly I'm meh about most of the songs/artists that were chosen. Most of the songs didn't 'grab' me so I probably won't be listening to it again any time soon.

Review Date: 7/8/2019

This cd is perfect for your next party, even if it's done remotely (given it's 2021 and we still have Covid going around). Lots of fun songs on here by Chubby Checker and it even had me 'twisting' in my chair, lol.

Songs:
1) Let's Twist Again
2) The Twist
3) Slow Twistin'
4) Pony Time
5) The Fly
6) Birdland
7) Limbo Rock
8) Let's Limbo Some More
9) Dancin' Party
10) Hucklebuck
11) Dance The Mess Around
12) Twist It Up

Gotta love the titles of these songs - so much twisting going on. Enjoy.

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.

Review Date: 6/24/2009

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.

Review Date: 12/31/2007

Some great music & some not so great music. Not one of my most favorite Now cd's. Best songs: All Star by Smash Mouth & Lenny Kravitz's American Woman. :-)

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

Label: Elektra
Original Release Date: 3/28/1995

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!

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. :-)

This is a very cool album by Paul Simon. I love the use of drums on this album.

Review Date: 6/17/2006

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.

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.

Review Date: 5/12/2009

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.

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.

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. :-)

This is a great cd if you want to relax and have some very nice piano music in the background. Her music is soothing and easy to listen to.

Review Date: 10/11/2019

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.)

Review Date: 1/1/2007

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. :-)
