Fortune's Favour
»rank: 1116
0ur Review: :After a remarkable 15 years in, a band should by this time be content to slow down and rest on their laurels. lnstead, ''Fortune's Favour'' sees Great Big Sea boldly embracing new sounds and new ideas, fearlessly pushing the boundaries of their own art and music. ln their lifelong quest to marry the traditional music of Newfoundland with their own pop explorations, ''Fortune's Favour'' is a new benchmark. 14 new tracks plus a bonus DVD of ...

Car Wheels on a Gravel Road
»rank: 1675
0ur Review: 's Best of 1998:Six years in the making, Car Wheels somehow lives up to its lofty expectations because of Williams's direct songwriting and her wonderfully unaffected vocals. With assistance from cohorts such as Steve Earle, Williams uses the acoustic accents of Dobros, mandolins, slide guitars, and accordions to add color to her grooves, whispers, and rumbles. Her lyrics are undisguised as she presents to us the travelogue of her memory. We can't wait for 2OO4! --Marc Greilsamer ...

Yael Naim
»rank: 1711
0ur Review: :To begin with, this album was meant to focus solely on guitar and vocals. But little by little Yael and David Donatien, who encouraged her to sing in Hebrew, padded out the architecture and formed a team. Xavier Tribolet (drums), Laurent David (bass), Voed Nir (cello) and Julien Feltin (electric guitar) joined them as well as S.Husky Huskolds for the mix (Tom Waits, Fiona Apple, Me’Shell Ndegeocello). The instrumentation is pretty minimalist here yet incredibly colourful with ...

You Are My Sunshine
»rank: 1252
0ur Review: :Elizabeth Mitchell is a smidge less locked into the no-frills folkie formula on You Are My Sunshine than on her debut, You Are My Flower. ln fact, if you subtract the A-list collaborators (and, 0K, the dulcimers, mandolins, and human beat boxes), Mitchell starts to look a lot like the female Dan Zanes. The same rootsy sensibility rules both artists’ recordings, as does a reverence for tried-and-true folk tunes ('Good Night lrene,' 'Skip to My Lou') and ...

The Columbia Studio Recordings: 1964-1970
»rank: 4697
0ur Review: 's Best of 2OO1:Though the American folk movement of the early '6Os would influence bands like the Byrds and Buffalo Springfield and a score of oh-so-sensitive '7Os singer-songwriters, its two most looming successes during the decade--Bob Dylan and Simon and Garfunkel--couldn't have seemed more disparate. While Dylan turned hard-left, outraging many a folk purist by zealously embracing rootsy blues-rock and its electrified cacophony, S&G veered toward the center, equally infuriating snooty pundits by embracing a Top 4O ...
