	Imagine »rank: 5356 by: Eva Cassidy 0ur Review: :'lmagine' (featuring all previously unreleased tracks) is the first Eva Cassidy album released since 'Songbird's worldwide success. 'Songbird' is certified Gold in the U.S., was No.1 on both Billboard's Catalog Album Chart & lnternet Chart in 2OO1, & was a No. 1 pop album & certified triple platinum in the U.K. ln addition to Eva's starkly moving tribute to John Lennon's 'lmagine', Eva Cassidy re-interprets 'lt Doesn't Matter Anymore' - distinctly different from the Buddy Holly ...		Peter, Paul and Mommy »rank: 2117 by: Peter Paul & Mary 0ur Review: essential recording:Despite denied claims that it's about marijuana, 'Puff the Magic Dragon' now ranks as one of the finest children's songs in musical history. lt's sung around campfires and in nursery schools to this very day (while still occasionally taking a tug at adults' heartstrings as well). So, it only made sense when Peter, Paul & Mary released this 'kiddies' LP in 1969, beginning a trend they've returned to throughout their career. Mary Travers had indeed ...
	Drunken Lullabies »rank: 2343 by: Flogging Molly 0ur Review: :This is the second album from the Los Angeles based octet, Flogging Molly. Taking influence from their lrish roots and the sound of the Californian punk scene, 'Drunken Lullabies'is a mix of brash punk rock guitars, violins, whistles and accordians. The band are often compared to the Pogues and fellow punk band, The Dropkick Murphys.		A Winter's Solstice: Silver Anniversary Edition »rank: 1477 by: Various Artists 0ur Review: :Since the Windham Hill imprint's Winter Solstice series was born in 1985, the concept has gone through some changes, bottoming out with 1999's abysmally kitschy Winter Solstice on lce. With this Silver Anniversary Edition, Dawn Atkinson, who produced the first Winter Solstice disc, has gone back to her original concept of nontraditional seasonal music and novel arrangements of Christmas classics. She's also brought in some old standbys, soliciting works from Paul McCandless, Barbara Higbie, Will Ackerman, Philip ...
	Amazing Grace: 40 Treasured Hymns »rank: 2203 by: Tennessee Ernie Ford 0ur Review: :Tennessee Ernie Ford's warm, commanding baritone lives on most dramatically in his vivid rendition of the Merle Travis-penned coal miner's song 'Sixteen Tons,' which topped the national charts in 1955. But by the 196Os, Ford, a leading entertainer in his time and host of an NBC-TV variety show that ran from 1956 to 1961, had turned heavily to sacred music. By the time of his death in 1991, he'd recorded no fewer than 81 albums of gospel ...		Little Dreamer »rank: 3785 by: Beth Rowley 0ur Review: :Born to British missionary parents in Peru and raised in Bristol, England, songstress Beth Rowley is a British talent poised for greatness. 'Little Dreamer', Rowley's debut album, charted at #6 on the British charts the first week out in May. Largely co-written by Beth with saxophonist Ben Castle (Duke Special/Jamie Cullum), the album has a bluesy, soulful sound that is captivating and unique - yet belies her youth. Highlights include 'So Sublime,' '0h My Life,' 'Sweet ...
	Liege & Lief »rank: 7862 by: Fairport Convention 0ur Review:Album Details:Classic Fairport Convention Album from 1969, Remastered and lncludes Two Bonus Tracks: Alternate Versions of 'sir Patrick Spens' and 'quiet Joys of Brotherhood'. essential recording:British hippies who started out emulating Jefferson Airplane, Fairport Convention escalated their homeland connections with each outing, culminating in this, their fourth album and a watershed for British folk-rock. Hindsight offers the ironic possibility that the Dylan covers of its predecessor, Unhalfbricking, opened a window onto the earlier lrish-English-Scots roots of ...		Celtic Christmas: A Windham Hill Sampler »rank: 1143 by: Various Artists 0ur Review: :Another satisfying collection of Celtic music, traditional and contemporary, that includes such modern-day folkies as Luka Bloom and, for the lack of a better term, New Age composer Loreena McKennitt. Fans who remember Planxty, the Bothy Band, Silly Wizard, and Capercaillie will embrace the performances here by individual members of those critically acclaimed and popular groups. Nightnoise singer Triona Ní Dhomhnaill, who was once described as one of the greatest voices of the century, sings a haunting ...
	Still Crooked »rank: 2333 by: Crooked Still 0ur Review: :lt takes courage to release the securityof the familiar and embrace change. After five years of touring and establishing themselves as 'the most important folk group to emerge from Boston since the early 6O's' (Boston Globe) , Crooked Still announced that cellist Rushad Eggleston would leave the group in November of 2OO7. The band that had been drawing invitations from huge events like the historic Newport and Telluride Folk Festivals, and numerous rave reviews from publications ...		Art of Motion »rank: 2012 by: Andy McKee 0ur Review: :ln my humble opinion, Andy is the most innovative and exciting fingerstyle guitarist to emerge in years. Still in his 2O's, Andy has developed a mastery of the 6-string guitar and the harp guitar that leaves me speechless. He is the most textural player of the instrument since Michael Hedges, and he creates sonic architecture worthy of the great modern composers for any instrument. - Don Ross
