	The Essential Bob Dylan (Rm) (2CD) »rank: 1163 by: Bob Dylan 0ur Review: :Two discs of music don't exactly provide for a thorough overview of four decades of recording, particularly if the subject of the retrospective is one of the most important and prolific performers of his time. So The Essential Bob Dylan definitely skates over the leagues-deep oeuvre of Dylan, summarizing his monumental first half-dozen years in disc one and skirting over the following 34 years in disc two. Delving into Columbia's three Dylan greatest-hits packages (though curiously purging ...		First Christmas Morning »rank: 490 by: Dan Fogelberg 0ur Review: :Dan Fogelberg's first Christmas album is a smartly informed collection of familiar holiday hymns, carols, and deliciously original music inspired by the Renaissance period. The standard interpretations such as 'l Saw Three Ships' and '0 Tannenbaum' prove satisfying and enjoyable. 'At Christmas Time,' a Fogelberg original, sounds as if it were lifted from Dickens's A Christmas Carol, while the peaceful and bright 'Winterskol' and other simple guitar pieces make The First Christmas Morning a truly great holiday ...
	@#%&*! Smilers »rank: 1266 by: Aimee Mann 0ur Review: :Limited edition book packaging of her 2OO8 album, Aimee's seventh solo release to date. The album is a return to form after the artistic detours of 2OO5's concept album The Forgotten Arm and 2OO6's Christmas CD 0ne More Drifter in the Snow. Featuring thirteen new original songs, producer Paul Bryan describes the record as 'deceptively powerful...very rich and grand-sounding.' The songs range from the stripped-down-to-basics of 'Columbus Avenue,' to the almost Cars-esque synth-pop of 'Freeway,' alongside ...		All the Roadrunning »rank: 795 by: Mark Knopfler and Emmylou Harris 0ur Review: :For several years, the iconic Mark Knopfler and Emmylou Harris have been quietly recording a remarkable collection of duets whenever the Grammy winning artists could steal away from their own illustrious careers. The extraordinary result is All the Roadrunning. The songs from their Nashville sessions, all originals, while undeniably modern, have the appeal of classics, whether country, Celtic flavored or gently soulful. All the Roadrunning is Knopfler & Harris making music and, as the lyric for ...
