After the Gold Rush»rank: 1251by: Neil Young
: essential recording:After laboring in Buffalo Springfield and Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, Neil Young finally hit perfect pitch--if his endearing off-center whine can be called 'perfect'--with his third album. He's equally passionate with trippy riddles (has anybody figured out what 'We've got mother nature on the run' means in the title track?) and pointed protest (after 30 years of rock-radio overplay, 'Southern Man' still rings with truth about redneck racism). His creaky ensemble, including pianist Jack Nitzsche and rotating members ... |

: :UK special edition reissue of The Man ln Black's brilliant 2002 album includes two bonus tracks, 'Big lron' (previously vinyl only) & 'Hurt' (video). American Recordings. 2003. :0n first thought, the idea of the Man in Black recording such covers as 'Bridge over Troubled Water,' 'Danny Boy,' and 'The First Time Ever l Saw Your Face' might seem odd, even for an artist who's been able to put his personal stamp on just about everything. But American lV: The Man ... |

The Greatest Hits Collection»rank: 1339by: Alan Jackson
: essential recording:As a superstar who's revered by both the young country audience and traditionalists, Alan Jackson is at his finest when he's steers clear of trifles like 'Chattahoochie' and takes those younger fans to school. Here he does just that by paying respects to Hank ('Midnight in Montgomery'), swearing allegiance to George Jones ('Don't Rock the Jukebox'), and calling out all those newcomers who've decided it's time to get twangy now that country's hot ('Gone Country'). All of it pales ... |

Aha Shake Heartbreak»rank: 2446by: Kings of Leon
: :Limited edition 2004 album from Kings 0f Leon featuring the first single 'The Bucket'. Hand Me Down. Having released a debut album that you can safely say was well received (the NME described it as, 'one of the best debut albums of the last ten years'), Kings 0f Leon have their work cut out to produce a suitable follow-up. Thankfully their sophomore effort, the strangely titled ‘A-Ha Shake Heartbreak’, is more than a match for its illustrious predecessor. Fast paced, ... |

Greatest Hits 2 [Regular Edition]»rank: 1696by: Alan Jackson
: :You don't have to get very far into Alan Jackson's splendid second anthology of hits before you're struck by how well the rangy Georgian has built his catalogue and how beautifully Keith Stegall continually produces his songs, filling the instrumental breaks with unexpectedly creative solos. While Jackson's choice of cover songs is usually inspired ('Pop-A-Top,' 'Little Bitty'), he's a deft writer, alternating his tongue-in-cheek, Sheriff Andy Taylor persona with his 'just a singer of simple songs' earnestness, lacing it all with ... |
