Another great cd by the artist. This cd is a bit more folk song sounding, but in a good way. His works just keep improving. Looking forward to the next cd already.

I love the music on this newest CD by the OkeeDokee Brothers. I must not be the only one who enjoys it, because it recently won a Grammy in its category. The songs are delightful and upbeat. They sound like old folk music, but are definitely new.
Highly recommend this CD.

I bought this CD the second it hit the shelves and haven't stopped playing it since!!  It's great!!  He is so talented and has a great vocal range.  He wrote or co-wrote 4 songs on this CD and is taleneted at that as well.  He has a variety of songs ranging from fun and upbeat to ballads, including one with Michael McDonald that is just wonderful!  Their voices compliment each other and sounds great!  I highly recommend buying this CD and if you don't have his first CD that is a great buy too!

The quality I have appreciated most about Lee Mead is his ability to interpret a lyric, obviously a result of years of musical theater. This CD does not disappoint. I especially love his rendition of the title song, "Through the Barricades" and "More Than Words". I highly recommend this CD and I hope that his management will arrange for a US visit for Lee to promote it properly.

This is a great CD, especially if you are a William Lee Golden fan (of which I was only slightly before I bought this).  William Lee sings lead on most of the really good songs.  Out of 14 tracks, I only skip over 3 or 4.

If you weren't an Edwin McCain fan before listening to this CD, then after hearing this CD you will be.  Edwin McCain is an excellent singer/songwriter and to have the best of his work on one CD is great. I can put it in and every song is great, no skipping tracks with this one! If you love the song "I'll Be" (and I have not met anyone who doesn't) then get this CD!  Another great CD to check out is Misguided Roses.  I have to say though, that my all time favorite is his 1st CD-- Honor Amoung Thieves.<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Honor-Among-Thieves/dp/B000005J7S/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Honor Among Thieves</a>&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Misguided-Roses/dp/B000005J7L/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Misguided Roses</a>

The prior postings are no exaggeration. I seldom take the time to write a review but I felt compelled to do so this time. This is a wonderfully melodic CD with the typical profound and witty lyricism of Terry Scott Taylor that can be pondered at many levels. Yes a bit retro and psychedelic with a Beatlesque aura, but extremely listenable both from the musical and lyrical perspective.

I have been following Daniel Amos since the last millennium (which was just about the time of their last brilliant release, Mr. Buechner's Dream) as DA as evolved through many divergent styles from country to rock to more main stream rock as this albums demonstrates. Terry tackles many varied themes (death and contradictions of faith) with aplomb and wisdom that comes with age and his apparently vast literary background. Superb, clean production to appreciate all the talented musicians. Pick it up- no hesitations!

First let me say this is a very well mixed and high quality recording of Rascal Flatts music. Second I can listen to this CD over and over and not get tired of Rascal Flatts great music!

If you are new to Lee or an established fan - like me - you will love this new cd! Covering all aspects of The Great American Songbook Lee has produced a wonderful album. It's so exciting to hear him sing with a variety of different performers from Michael Feinstein and Ann Hampton Calloway through to Amanda McBroom and Stephen Schwartz. It's is the perfect album for the perfect night in!!!!! Buy it now!!!!!!

This is a great CD.  Daniel is so uplifting.  I have been listening to Daniel O'Donnell for over ten years.  I like to listen to him when I need some encouragement.  His songs always boost my mood.

Not a bad sophmore follow-up to his first self-titled CD, but not as striking as the first.  This is a fun CD...the kind you can put on and do something else (e.g. clean the house).  I think that Amos Lee has more in him, as was hinted at with his first CD, but he needs help with songs that fit his talent.

I love this CD of Israel Kamakawiwo ' ole. My favorite song is Somewhere Over the Rainbow, but all the songs are nice to hear too. I am very happy with this CD.

There was nobody quite like Phil Ochs, this is a wonderful CD, one of my favorites. Great songs with heart and courage.

I highly recommend this CD. Every now and then I get a new CD that I just can't stop playing, and this is one of those at least for me.

If you like the New Orleans sound, get this CD!  Leroy is a regular w/the Harry Connick, Jr. band and almost always gets a solo -- on the CDs and at the live shows.  I have four of his solo projects and am not disappointed.

You get both a studio and a live concert CD with this one.  If you are new to Tori, by all means go get "Little Earthquakes."  If you already own and like Amos' other work, delve a little deeper with this one.  This one keeps ending up in my CD player. The studio CD is more of a full band approach than her standard "girl and a piano" offerings.  This one is a little more spacey, dark, ambient, with a bigger sound than Amos' other works.  Bliss has Tori creating her own twisted pronunciation of words, "So maybe we're a Bleeez of another kind."  It works.  Glory of the 80's has a transcendent humorous line, "I may not have to die/I'll clone myself like that blonde chick/that sings Bette Davis Eyes"  That's got me laughing.  Josephine is a beautiful ballad reminiscent of "China."  "Riot Proof" is riotous.  Datura is electronic, spoken-word, and strangely compelling. That whole "dividing Canaan/piece by piece" has me spooked in a good way. Solid, wholly listenable effort showing Amos branching out with the band. I've seen the brilliant songstress in concert and the live CD, though good and great in places, doesn't capture all the magic of the Amos live experience.  It probably does just as good as any recording could though.  The sound is good and the band is moody and solid.  Tori emits some guttural shrieks, groans, and grunts to accentuate her music like a banshee possessed.  She feels free to pronounce words to suit her fancy and it often jazzes up her songs.  There are a good sampling of songs but missing are the Tori highlight "Weather".  There are some good rarities though like Cooling, Sugar, Space Dog.  The conclusion of the live portion is some of the most powerful conjuring up of the muse as Tori and band whip themselves into a frenetic frenzy (is there such a thing?) truly possessed and boy does Tori ever hate that waitress.  For Tori-philes this one's a must.  This would have been close to 4 and a half stars.

Amos Lee is an amazing songwriter and artist. This album is much more intimate and soothing than previous albums. He strays from the bluesy vocals that made me a huge fan, which left me a bit disappointed. While all the songs are very nice to listen to, none of them really captured my attention like previous tracks such as Truth, Street Corner Preacher or even Arms of a Woman. I could fall asleep to this album, which necessarily is not a bad thing. His vocals are still captivating, pulling you into each song. El Camino, Flower and Cup of Sorrow are instant winners. This reminds me a lot of Norah Jones - The Fall in the sense that she went a different direction and while it was good, it wasn't great.
