Twenty years after her landmark Watermark album, Enya's seventh studio disc, And Winter Came continues a phenomenally successful career that has included more than 70 million albums sold worldwide. And Winter Came is an enchanting evocation of the changing landscape of winter as well as the festive cheer of the holidays. One of the most successful female artists of all-time, and second only to U2 as the biggest selling Irish artist in history, Enya brings her beguiling and ethereal music to bear on the darkest and yet most hopeful season with And Winter Came.

Originally formed a dozen years ago while students together at Indiana University, the a cappella group has reassembled and reemerged after their video for 'The 12 Days of Christmas' became a phenomenon with almost 8 million views on YouTube. In an era when so much pop music is the product of digital processing and vocal pro-tooling, Straight No Chaser is the real deal- the captivating sound of ten unadulterated human voices coming together to make extraordinary music that is moving people in a fundamental sense...and with a sense of humor.

Really a great record
This really is a great record. Like another reviewer said, it gets better with every listen. Great albums are usually like that, the more you play them the better they get.

This bluesy, twangy, folksy, swampy.......all in the right places. The production enhances the music too instead of getting in the way of it. The backing band are seriously good musicians as well. T Bone Burnett deserves a lot of credit for shaping this record.

Kudos to Robert Plant for turning down the Zeppelin reunion and touring with Alison Krauss instead. If anyone has heard live recordings of this tour then you'll understand my statement.

I only hope they issue a live album of that tour in time.

This is a truly great album on all levels. Make the purchase if you're on the fence.


great
The product arrived on date that was promissed. I will continue to purchase from this supplier

Lucinda Williams has always been adept at painting landscapes of the soul, illuminating the spirit's shadowy nooks and shimmering crannies -- but she's never captured the sun breaking through the clouds as purely as on her new Lost Highway release, Little Honey

The album features a duet with Elvis Costello "Jailhouse Tears" Other guest vocalists include Matthew Sweet, Susanna Hoffs, Jim Lauderdale, Tim Easton and Charlie Louvin.

The first single "Real Love" is available for download in the Amazon MP3 store.

BOB DYLAN TELL TALE SIGNS (DELUXE)
Gave to my BIL for Christmas -- he's a big Dylan fan and seemed thrilled with this deluxe set. Great price at AMAZON too -- more than $50 less than the next best Online store.

Volume Eight from the Eighth Wonder of sorts ...
Twenty two years back I bought the Biograph series which simply blew my mind; living in Calcutta, getting an LP was difficult - although there were these little stores on Free School Street that sold used records of everything we liked - Stones, Beatles, Floyd, Who, Young, Zep and other Gods of Rock & Roll. Crowning glory of ones listening repertoire were Dylan & Cohen - an easy way to be regarded an elite listener of sorts. The prices however were astronomical (250 rupees per record - which was a lot of money). So we shared records among friends - I had the Biograph series on tape without the regular inserts - I believe they were pirated. We took particular note that more than half of the songs on Biograph were not available elsewhere; Biograph was a testimony to Dylan's recording talent - without repetition of any kind.

Twenty years & six bootleg series later we all know there is probably another eight CD worth of quality recording that can be unearthed (including expansive Basement Tapes, live circa Before the Flood, Toronto live recordings circa the born again time, the classic electric era of the white hot noise and God knows what else.

This collection is spectacular and in some ways gives the feel of a more consistent studio record as opposed to a group of songs spanning some seventeen years. With Oh Mercy in 1989, and the resurrection that followed, it is perhaps not a surprise that there are many outtakes that are worthy of a regular official release for any lesser artist. Who knew growing old for Mr. Dylan could be so much fun for us?

I wonder if Columbia would release a record of just one song (Mississippi comes to mind) just to show that how each reading can sound so engrossing & can be so different from the other - and to prove a point that I have been saying for years - genius never repeats - a repeater of the same stuff day after day is a performer - not an artist.

With me getting no younger anymore, and the world the strange abode of tastelessness that it is today, I am ecstatic to own this collection - to be savoured, like good wine, in moderation and over many years. And I hope that there is more to come.

Thanks Bobby, this one's from Free School Street!

Rocker Rucker Goes Country
Darius Rucker, lead singer of Hootie and the Blowfish, crosses over to Country and it's fabulous. Every song has a great sound. Country isn't what it used to be. Whether you're new to country or a longtime fan, this CD hits the spot.

Well done!!
Ok...I heard a cut from this album when surfing on the radio. To my suprise to learn it was Darius Rucker from Hootie and the Blowfish. I kinda thought it really sounded like him but wasn't sure. It peeked my curiosity so I decided to order. Wow! I like all types of music and must say that this album did not disappoint me! Who would have thought he had such a great voice for country music....so pure and heartfelt! I would recommend this album to anyone.

Dido's newest CD
This CD has some very good songs, and is enjoyable but I rate music as for how long I can listen to it before getting bored. My favorites I can play over and over, but Dido sounds too much the same after a few plays.

A great CD!
Dido's CD is excellent ....as good as her 1st CD. Alot of thought went into this one!!!

Lovely Classic Mix
This is a lovely, classic mix of interesting and complex choral arrangements of Christmas and holiday classics.

Angelic Voices for the Christmas Season
They are magnificent. However, the popular traditional Christmas songs, I thought, detracted from the wonderful tone they set with the Celtic-type music.
