Amazon Reivew: Two Men With The Blues

Last month a couple of legends in the music industry released a true masterpiece. Willie Nelson and Wynton Marsalis collaborated for a live performance that someone was smart enough to roll tape on. The result is Two Men With The Blues, and you can learn more about it in my review on Amazon.

July Vine Leftovers

I'm a bit behind with posts so this is already a little stale. A couple of weeks ago, I had the opportunity to pick up a couple of additional items from the July Vine newsletter from Amazon. I have already posted my review of Brendan James' debut CD The Day Is Brave. It's different than the typical music I listen to, but it might be right up your alley. I hesitate a bit to mention my other selection, but here goes. They had a math related book, and I thought it sounded interesting. So I took a flier on the book Geekspeak: How Life + Mathematics = Happiness. I'm about half way through, but I have a long way to go as to what I might actually say about it. Stay tuned.

Until next time...

Amazon Vine Review: A Larum

The music reviews just keep coming... When Christy first heard Johnny Flynn's A Larum, she said it sounded like music from O' Brother, Where Art Thou? For some of the songs on this CD, I would have to agree, but it's much more than that. To find out more, check out my review now up on Amazon.

Amazon Vine Review: This Is The Life

My review of Amy MacDonald's debut CD This Is The Life is hot off the press. This was not the typical kind of music that I listen to, but I found it enjoyable nonetheless. I should be getting something up from Johnny Flynn's A Larum in the next few days.

Until next time...

More New Music

I discovered a new artist a while back called The New Frontiers. They are a Dallas based band that just put out their debut CD, Mending about three months ago. I found them to be a cross between Coldplay and Better Than Ezra. For more details, check out my review available on Amazon.

July on the Vine

Amazon released the regular Vine newsletter on Thursday, and I choose a couple of CDs to review for new artists both from the other side of the Atlantic. The first is probably the best of the ones they offered. Scottish singer/songwriter Amy Macdonald's debut is titled This Is The Life. The other one is also a debut CD from Britain's Johnny Flynn called A Larum. Both of these probably best fit in the folk genre. I should receive these early next week so look for my reviews to be up in a week or so.

Until next time...
