Ricky returns to his roots
355829
After his first English album, Ricky Martin returns to the scene with an album full of Latin sounds.  Songs like 'Loaded', 'Saint Tropez', 'Cambia la Piel',... Make you wanna dance.  But don't think that this album is only happy music.  It also contains some beautiful ballads as 'Come to Me', 'The touch' and 'Nobody wants to be lonely'.  It has a song for every mood you might be in.  On this album, there are also 4 Spanish songs included, which adds to the value of this album. This album has been long awaited by the fans and is worth every cent.

Joshua has put the art back into the trade of butchery. I hope it helps revive this trade before its too late. Keep up the good job.

It's puzzling to me that this CD could get anything less than 4 stars. This isn't some re-invention of Filter that we all must convince ourselves must be good because Patrick is back. This is an excellent continuation and evolved step forward for a very talented name in rock music.

Listening to this CD brings back fond memories of the dozens of listening sessions I've had with the previous Filter CD's.

Excellent CD. Without question this is a must have for any Filter fan.

I am so glad that Clint Black is back with new material! He, along with George Strait, Alan Jackson and Randy Travis are my all-time favorites! This album shows that he has not missed a step since being one of the hottest artists of the 90s.

The Drive-By Truckers have come back with an excellent offering following their last two stellar releases, Southern Rock Opera and Decoration Day.  The new ground that this album covers, along with the ever-improving songwriting capabilities of the band shows that they are serious about honing their craft.

Jason Isbell shows the most new progress here, with "Danko/Manuel" and "Goddam Lonely Love" as two of the album's stand-out introspective tracks.  Patterson Hood continues to shine, and his firm grasp of southern history and his unique talent for relating it to modern times is as good as ever.

The thing to remember about this and all DBT albums is that the place they sing about is as much a character as any of the people in the songs.  Much like Faulkner's mythical Mississippi, Alabama turns into a landscape of heartache, lost loves and lives, and strife in the DBT's oeuvre.

For lovers of history, Crazy Horse-era Neil Young, the South, and wonderful story songs:  The Drive-By Truckers is your new band.  And this album is the perfect place to start.

After years of waiting and a few big changes, this band is back with two new members.  Both jr. members are welcome additions, with Tad using some funked out bass to compensate for the late and great Bobby, and with Ben offering  many welcome keystrokes.  Yet the old band is giving the newcomers too much freedom on their first contribution.  Gone is the harp, guitar, and bass driven B.T. of ole, leaving a fuller yet bland sound in its place.  Now the signature harmonica lead is only present when overdubbed during Popper's singing.  Reminisant of Popper's solo album, the lyrics depend to much on shallow cliches, though there are exceptions.  Overall half of the album is amazing, but this is the first of the B.T. albums that I'll have to skip a few songs during, and that sadens me.  Hopefully the power of the stage will bring the band back to its roots and to a better follow up album.  Dedicated Traveler

Mr. Sax has done it one more time. not only did he and co-producer Carl Griffin retrieve the authentic sound of the early years, it is a great selection of tunes. After reading the credits of the players i see how they aquired the authenticity

Like Going Back in Time !!!  Great sound and clear recordings on this great CD !!  I play it often and it is like being a teenager again and being at the Sock Hops .  A real pleasure to own and listen to it again and again.  So happy I purchased this CD of Ricky's  Greatest Hits.

George has finally stepped out of his shell and got this vol. off on a better foot then vol. 1.  Gone?  Vocals as he slides in with a great effort.  His first album is the slower of the two and actually is quite a different sound then most are used to from George.  A little choppy but some good tracks for sure.  I think the ending track is what kills this set and feel the end didn't give this pretty good mix any bang.  But come on it's the first disc and it sure does have some pretty sick tracks.  The second disc brings back the acosta sound that all have come to love.  He finally found the tracklist to showcase his sound here as he completely nails it.  Disc 2 is a step forward.  Finally George comes back and gives me his favorite set since Lost World.  He ends this one with a great vocal track and I beleive this one is one of his best sets compared to Touched disc 1.  Enjoy.

I've been a Ricky Fan since he played with J D Crowe,I watched his band Boone Creek many times as they were based in my home town. I was glad he went to Nashville, he didn't stay long enough I didn't think, Chet Atkins said he saved country music, maybe that was his purpose, we need another Ricky now, country just isn't, its getting too pop AGAIN, this happens time to time, the music on this is great!  thanks Shooter!

Obviously I am a real fan of this band being from Pennsylvania. After their third album Natural Selection I felt discouraged and disillusioned by the lack of vision and rocking good hooks. But after a brief stint retooling and regrouping Fuel is back in a big way with a dynamic return to form. With the opening song "Gone" there is no doubt that the classic grunge of the band is in full throttle. Throughout the album you'll find great guitar progressions and lyrical hooks. One of the highlights is inclusion of two versions of "Broken", with a melody that rivals the best of any Fuel song recorded. The new singer reflects the same style as the previous singer as if there has been no line up revision at all, which makes you wonder if all the credit was given in the past to the wrong band member. Truly a return to form for one of my favorite modern rock bands. Forget about Daughtry, folks.

After many years Sergio Aragones and company are finally back with new Groo the Wanderer! Reading new adventures of our favorite cheese dip eating hero with loyal pal, Rufferto, has been a blast. Volume 3 may conclude this story, but it will not be the last we see of him.  Another limited series is in the works.

Josh is really getting back to his roots with this album.  As with his earlier album, Noel, these are mostly songs he's known since childhood.  They bring out aspects of his voice that have been missing from some of his intervening albums.  Also, he got a new voice instructor recently, which has made a big difference.  The vocals are extraordinarily beautiful even for Josh.

The background music is fairly tame in comparison with most of his prior albums, to my taste a bit too muzak-y, but retires well into the background to better emphasize his voice.

It was great to be back in the world of Shifter and see another strong tabby bucking the system. Hope there are more to come soon.
